Kentucky's John Calipari traded in the hardwood for the ice Thursday night, as the Wildcats coach was in Pittsburgh for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Calipari was cheering on the hometown team as the Penguins looked to capture Lord Stanley's mug with a victory over the San Jose Sharks.

Calipari got treated to quite the start. The Penguins and Sharks exchanged four goals in just over five minutes of action and that had the coach making comparisons to some of his own team's offensive breakouts.
2-2. This is exciting stuff! Unbelievable environment!!! Pens fast break looks like it belongs in Rupp. pic.twitter.com/6L3n6n5Zk9
