“The Russian’s been cut…”

In Rocky 4, as you may or may not recall, Rocky goes up against his worst nightmare, a freakishly large, steroid infused Russian (cold war days) who was built and trained to be the world heavyweight champion. At first, the Russian whips up on the smaller and slower Balboa, but in one of the later rounds, Rocky, after taking an incredible beating, gets a huge shot in and the announcer says, “The Russian’s been cut, The Russian’s been cut!”
The huge favorite for the Stanley Cup this year is the Detroit Red Wings. But last night, the much younger Penguins beat the Red Wings in triple overtime at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Now they go back to Pittsburgh for game 6, where the Penguins have only been beaten one time since February.
