Lawrence, from just outside Meadville, Pa., said her son got her into hockey. Kottler, her little sister, now a resident of Scottsdale, Az., said she started to watch when her sister began watching.
While Kottler showed up decked out in a Coyotes shirt, she admitted she couldn't root against her sister.
"I'm rooting for both teams tonight," Kottler said.
Lawrence made it clear who she was there to see.
"Crosby's my favorite," Lawrence said. "I like Ian Cole. I like Letang. I like Kunitz. I like all of them. But Crosby's my favorite."
