Stanley Cup Final turns into reunion for Sharks' Paul Martin (Yahoo Sports)

FILE - In this April 5, 2015, file photo, Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby, left, shoots in front of teammate Paul Martin during an NHL hockey game against the Philadelphia Flyers in Philadelphia. The Flyers won 4-1. Back when the playoffs started nearly seven weeks ago, Martin, now with the San Jose Sharks, wondered what it would be like to play his old teammates in Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup Final. There were plenty of steps needed before that could happen. But come Monday night, May 30, at the start of Game 1, Martin will be matched up against players like Crosby and Evgeni Malkin after spending the past five seasons as their teammate.

Back when the playoffs started nearly seven weeks ago, San Jose Sharks defenseman Paul Martin wondered what it would be like to play his old teammates in Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup Final. There were plenty of steps needed before that could happen considering the Sharks had never made it that far in their entire history and the Penguins hadn't been to the final in seven years. ''Once the puck drops, it's all business, but obviously the relationship with some of the guys that have been there, for five years with some of their guys,'' Martin said.
