Ivan Provorov cared about Game 6 more than anyone in Philadelphia today. Gotta love how much he took the loss to heart. Young player with old-school attitude. Surround him with the right pieces and this kid will hoist a Cup someday.
Ivan Provorov played thru shoulder injury. Gave it all he had
“As long as my arm was attached I was playing.”
