NEW YORK -- Sometimes it's not enough to be sorry.
The Rangers' Viktor Stalberg denied Thursday morning that the Penguins' Kris Letang had apologized for his high stick in Game 3, as Letang had said Wednesday that he did.
"Well, when I was skating by the bench, I said, ‘Sorry,’ Letang said Wednesday. "I didn’t even know at the time if I hit him or if I hit Dominic Moore behind me. I got hit, and I was off balance and leaning forward. I just said, ‘Sorry’ to the guy."
Between that and the NHL clearing Letang from any possible supplementary discipline Wednesday -- the league ruled it was accidental because of Letang being hit by Moore in the same sequence -- it would have appeared that the story blew over.
