one. and then battled for and slugged wide by engelland, taken on by leddy. jammed it again. handzus. thrown across to engelland. tapped on by rozsival. swatted by versteeg. thrown by niskanen. paddled aside by crawford. crawford as toews have been impressive. no one more than jonathan toews. led back across. leddy taking inover there. a shot is blocked down by marc-andre fleury. then maatta played ahead. 37 shots by chicago, 28 by pittsburgh. oh, and what grab off crosby. on one that was headed high but looked artistic anyway on the part of crawford. >> ed: good play from james neal to get the puck to crosby.

good thing the hands are warm for corey crawford. that was launched by sidney crosby. >> mike: neal again and flailing, that was crawford. caught the glachlts stopped by crawford as the shot total starts to come high. reaching for it was neal. that wouldn't go. through one that went wide. ricocheted back for orpik. drops it on for crosby behind the net. crosby rifled it on back. held by despres. sent to neal for a trainer poll twhaus blocked back. orpik a drive and that turned high. to the corner draft by crawford. saad wipes out but gets it on out to center. fed ahead for a feed by crosby. touched on to neal.

a toe drag and a shot wouldn't go as crawford reached out for that one. saad sees that one knocked along further. and played ahead off of orpik and galloping on with this now, it's patrick sharp. he's got toews up the wing. save, rebound. oh, it went in. another crazy bounce goal. it will be toews'. it is 5-1. [ horn blowing ] >> pierre: a beautiful pass from patrick sharp. second time in this game that patrick sharp was looking to pass the whole way through. he's known as the shooter. he had the first goal in this game a long time ago. unfortunate for jonathan toews after this rebound from marc-andre fleury. >> ed: what a nice little hop. slick hockey on all their goals, especially that pass from patrick sharp.

sheared back down by jokinen. couldn't be dragged in by malkin. they're standing here, many of them, many of the 62,921. some penguin fans have been here, too, enjoying their time in chicago, though, not the outcome of the game. the spectacle being one of the things they would carry back home with them. this one was played in snow. the one was played in snow. the one against washington in the middle at home in rain. it happened in the wintertime up north. >> ed: ten days ago there was a lot of rain that came through the city of chicago an certainly

things have change here in the last seven days. this snow globe effect would be snow falling all evening long. >> mike: we wanted you to just hear some of the crowd and the reaction there in the last seconds of this one. the snow started falling two hours before game-time. it's continued now. we hope the 62,000 all get home safely.

we're not against russians. you know, the only problem is the regime of putin. >> that was nbc bay area's monte francis reporting. chinese authorities say terrorists are behind a brutal attack at a train station that killed dozens of people. witnesses say attackers stormed the train station in southwestern china and started attacking people with knives as long as swords. at least 29 people were killed, with another 130 injured. chinese state news agencies say police shot and killed four of the attackers and arrested one suspect. authorities consider it to be an organized premeditated attack by muslim separateists. the area is home to a simmering rebellion against chinese rule. up and down the california coast, waves are beating the shoreline. the latest storm is nearly gone, but there's lots of damage left behind. check it out. >> oh, my god. >> time to go.

>> check, please. a crowded restaurant gets a shock when a powerful wave crashes through the window. no one was hurt. quite a few nerves were rattled. we have team coverage of the storm's aftermath. meteorologist rob mayeda is tracking things from our weather center. but first let's go out to nbc bay area's kimberly tere who's live in santa cruz with quite a whole there. timab kimberly. >> reporter: this water is actually calmer than it was earlier when we were seeing massive waves out here and all people could do was stand in awe of mother nature. >> there's a lost white water. there's a lot of breaking up, a lot of waves, a lot of activity. it's very exciteing. >> it's amazing. it's poetic. beautiful. shiny. undescribable. >> reporter: a lot of people took advantage of a break in the storm to get outside and take in the santa cruz surf. >> this is great. waves are big, huge. it's a great storm. we haven't had rain in a long

time. so we're really enjoying it. >> it's exhilarating. it's just so clean and fresh right after a storm. it's wonderful. >> reporter: the water has receded but you can see from this debris the ocean swept right through this beach parking lot at the peak of the storm. >> we can tell how big the storms are by how much driftwood shows up. >> reporter: the high surf is being blamed for this sinkhole on west cliff drive, which drops to the ocean below. >> i've never seen one until we came out here to look at the sinkhole. >> reporter: some santa cruz residents told us it's an old sinkhole the city filled in about ten years ago but it appears the storm watched huge rocks out of the beach cave below, causing it to collapse again. >> if you look down there it's close to 20 feet deep. you can't see all the way down into the water, but it's a pretty big hole. >> we got a taste of what the waves look like, what the ocean looks like out there. let's get scientific about it. here's rob mayeda with a look at what's going on with the waves. >> waves have been hitting the coast the last 24 hours as we

saw that pressure the stronger the winds around that storm and as the windúç action fans across the ocean surface bringing long period swell at times 14 and 15 feet, earlier now, still seeing those wave heights offshore at about 12 feet. and this will continue as we head into tonight. the high surf advisories have been dropped but still some rough conditions out toward thep coast, and we're still seeing some lingering effects of the weather system that brought the showers today. heavier showers. few showers just north of sfo right around burlingame there, south of san francisco, and you can see the clouds that continue to spill in from the south. that system now moving through southern california but already off to the west we've got more cloud cover coming in and a forecast now for your sunday and monday that does include more rain and more snow for the sierra. we'll take a look at that forecast for you coming up in just a few minutes from now. back to you. >> sounds good. thank you, rob. pg&e crews are out this morning looking to restore power to a few hundred homes still

in oakland police are looking into a suspicious fire after firefighters found a body at the scene. the fire broke out in an alleyway of an apartment complex near the corner of foothill and 34th avenue. about 5:00 this morning. no information about the victim has been released. the building is the same apartment complex where a 77-year-old woman was killed inside her home last month. police have not said they think the two deaths are related in any way, only that today's fire is suspicious in nature. in san rafael someone shot a man inside a busy restaurant. the shooting happened at pa's mexican and filipino cuisine which is near the corner of b and 3rd streets. police say a man wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt walked in around 1:15 this morning walked right up to a 31-year-old man and shot him several times. there were about 20 other people in the restaurant at the time. the victim survived but is in critical condition tonight. authorities are still searching for the shooter. a popular bay area park is

getting a $13 million makeover. on any given weekend thousands of people visit dolores park but today marked the beginning of a $14 million renovation project. city and community leaders broke ground on the project after six years of planning. now, when the work is complete the park will have new handicapped-accessible paths, tennis and basketball courts, better bathrooms and modern irrigation and electrical systems. >> and the fact that you've got families with kids and dog owners and tennis players and disabled coming together to pull this together is an incredible testament to the spirit of community. >> and the park is staying open at least in part. the two-stage project will keep at least half of the 16-acre park open to the public while it is being renovated. governor jerry brown is taking action to hope those affected by the drought. today he signed two bills that provide nearly $700 million in drought relief funding. the money will fund housing and

food for workers directly affected by the drought and some projects aimed at capturing water more efficiently. and the million dollars will go to a public awareness campaign to inform residents how they can save water. back in january governor brown declared a drought state of emergency and directed state officials to prepare for water shortages. in a roundabout way the drought is a big reason why parts of southern california are on alert again tonight. the recent downpours brought down hillsides that had been scorched by last year's fires. nbc's jennifer bjorklund has the story. >> reporter: rescue crews scour the los angeles river saturday on alert. nonstop deluge by rain and reports of people caught off guard caught in the potentially deadly current. the third wave of this massive system of storms the length of the entire golden state moving in overnight bringing with it a tornado warning for foothil neighborhoods already under mandatory evacuation orders because of the threat of

mudslides. >> didn't know the city had that much sand in it. >> reporter: homeowners who stayed despite the warning are working to clear the mud to make room for more that's sure to come. >> i didn't get to sleep until after 2:45, and none of this was here. >> the problem we have, or the situation we deal with is that while we have these lulls in the sense of people maybe thinking it's over, it's passed, that's not true. we do expect more rain today. >> reporter: the mud is flowing off the hillsides that burned in a 1900-acre fair in january. the once stabilizing vegetation now just adds to the weight of debris and ash that looms over more than 1,000 homes. it's not a matter of if. it's a matter of when it comes down. >> these mountains are now saturated and soaked. we know where the mud's going to go. we just don't know how much and what the intensity's going to go. >> reporter: intensity theesn' match the storm. jennifer bjorklund, nbc news,

los angeles. well, meteorologist rob mayeda is here now with your microclimate forecast. rob. >> we've been watching the storm move from north to south. biggest impact has been in southern california but we still have some leftover moisture being pushed from south to north across the bay area that is still managing to kick off some showers tonight. not as intense or as widespread as we saw earlier this afternoon but they're right south of san francisco around pacifica. you're seeing a passing shower here. kind of drifting in from the south and heading off to the north and west. and you can see the cloud cover here still sweeping in from the south. and at times enough to warrant a shower or two tonight. and the forecast now for your sunday is trending just a little bit wetter now. we still have the system, the moisture with it drifting up from the south to north even though the main force of that storm continues to move through southern california. off to the west another system on the approach that is catching some of that leftover moisture will force it to rise on up in the atmosphere during the day tomorrow which we do think is going to bring a chance of seeing smourz. we've got two things kind of coming together for your sunday

forecast. some of that moisture which continues to stream northward and this frontal boundary from the west that will lift it during the day tomorrow and monday. that is the reason we think we'll see a few more showers in the forecast here. hour by hour for tonight into early tomorrow you can see showers moving from south to north as we head toward tomorrow morning. much like we're seeing right now. some showers around the santa cruz mountains and up toward the marin headlands. and during the day tomorrow as the frontal system approaches especially during the day in the hilltop locations you're starting to see some added lift to the moisture around 1:30 in the afternoon. showers at times and as the sun sets and the atmosphere begins to stabilize a little bit probably we'll see some of these showers shutting down again tomorrow 8:30. the rain totals this time around not not measured by the inch or two to three inches like we saw around the mountains of san jose early thisgñd tenth of an inch or less. sunny breaks mixed with some showers at times. that's going to be part of your sunday forecast and kind of muggy outside too. you notice temperatures in the 60s with some pretty high

humidity. the next best chance for rain and the seven-day forecast, coming in for wednesday this system will probably be the biggest punch of the week across the bay your into early thursday morning. then behind you that might notice the 70s during the end of the seven-day forecast. high pressure building in as we head toward next weekend. the sunday forecast, you'll still want to keep the umbrella on standby. temperatures in the 60s around san jose. upper ffrkts close to 60 around the peninsula. and in the north bay you'll see those highs in the low 60s and mid 60s around the east bay and trivalley. coming up in the next weather forecast we'll talk about what all this means for the sierra and how much snow we expect to fly in the high country over the next couple of days. back to you. >> looking forward to that. thank you, rob. alcohol for minors on college campuses in southern california in it might sound absurd. but it's not quite what you think. there is a new proposal sponsored by the uc system, and sam block explains why the bill makes a whole lot of sense and actually has very little to do with drinking. in tonight's "reality check."

>> craziness. >> reporter: on the grounds of uc davis california's flagship wine and viticulture program. budding wine makers prune thei , vines, sharpen their skills and test their microbiology basics. but not everybody's moving at the same pace. not when the under 21s can't actually taste the fruits of their labor, presenting quite a conundrum for students and instructors. >> it's illegal for us to give -- present an alcoholic beverage to someone under 21 and have them put it in their mouth. that's illegal. the winemaking students need to be able to taste while they're learning how to make wine because that's how winemakers do it. they taste the wine as it's being made. >> so we definitely think that this will enrich the educational experience of all of our students. >> reporter: in an interesting twist the uc system is supporting and sponsoring the legislation. as adrian lopez, director of government relations for uc davis, points out, california is

actually kind of late fought game. there are 12 states that have already approved this educati educational exemption. in some like new york it's been there for decades. >> students have more options on where to go and these kind of limitations could cause a student to decide to go to a program in new york or florida as opposed to stag heying here california. >> reporter: some might voice concerns about giving access to alcohol to minors, period, even if it brings their skills into focus. you blets look at the actual bill sponsored by wes chessboro, which allows students to taste the alcohol but does not include permission to swallow and can only be done in the presence of an adult instructor. students like ui pavoa say it's a no brainer and the facts of the bill make it hard to disagree. >> to be able to make something but not be able to understand how it turned out for the end product, then i think it's somewhat pointless. >> in the winemaking you learn

all the chemical compounds, you know what flavors they gave off, but there's the theory, but then you actually need to taste the wine. >> that was sam brock reporting. some may argue that passing a law like this makes it easier for underage students to explore the rules, but this exemption would only apply to a very small group of students, maybe fewer than 100, who've been accepted into those programs. >> and i'm sure those students right now are saying i'll drink to that. >> you think? >> i do believe. coming up next, sweet, sensitive, and smart. not exactly the qualities you normally associate with the head of a silicon valley startup. but maybe you will. a northern california movie theater for blind and deaf people. we'll show you the special technology that delivers the experience to those who would otherwise miss out. she reported a rape and

and after seven different failed prototypes late one night shubham struck on the right configuration and his printer struck out the very first letter. >> it was like a eureka moment. i [6pzsaid, mom? dad? it works. and my mom was like, yeah! >> reporter: shubham debuted his lego braille printer named braigo at his school's science fair. and while his teachers say there were more complex entries there there were none more >> this is shubham banerjee here. >> reporter: it's why it seems shubham's story has continued to grow. shubham's videos on youtube have been seen by hundreds of thousands. people both sighted and blind have sent their admiration and congratulations from around the world. even the lego corporation, tweeted shubham. just about everyone, it seems-s impressed by this 12-year-old technological wiz kid, one able

so that's correct. >> reporter: but the investigative unit has obtained the navy contract for this squlan. the plan says soil excavated will be transported for radiological processing. that includes surveying, characterizing, and remediating as necessary. it's a screening process workers insist is not happening. in this letter sent to the state health department and federal regulators consumer advocates quote an anonymous worker who says "project personnel are not monitored for potential exposure to radiation." the worker alleges "no radiological soil assessment has been or is being performed" and that soil dug up near buildings contaminated with radiation is being shipped off site to state facilities not licensed to accept low-level radioactive waste. we followed a truck full of dirt from parcel c taken to pittsburg. it's only authorized to affect chemically impacted soil, not radiological soil. workers on site also provided us

around interstate 80 but we should see the action fill in highway 52 by tomorrow afternoon and that's the reason we should see winter-like driving conditions mainly late tonight into monday morning. we'll add a couple inches of snow overnight. it's the wednesday system that will add a foot of snow. here's another reason@sunday forecast we're having to add in more showers. leftover moisture from friday to this morning. that's going to start to drift to the north. asn't the frontal boundary approaches which will add lift across the afternoon we will see showers but not inches of rain but enough that they will pass on by and will affect some of your outdoor plans let's say every 15 minutes around the bay area tomorrow. for the morning mostly cloudy skies. during the afternoon you can see the scattered showers going by but not a lot in terms of total accumulation, enough to wet the ground in spots at times. the rainfall projections staying below a tenth of an inch of rabe out of this system. it's the wentz system coming wednesday into thursday we think
