Talbot lifts Penguins over Flyers again, 4-2
The Philadelphia Flyers said they’d come out harder and more physical. They said they’d play a better defensive game than they did in Game One. They did just that, it was a much better performance all around for the Flyers. The problem is, it still didn’t propel them to a win.

If You Thought NHL Officiating Was Bad, Then Watch This
Today, Finland faced off against Team USA in the qualifying round of the IIHF World Hockey Championship. Finland won the game 3-2 but what happened on their second goal is beyond belief. Trust me, this isn't sour grapes on my part. Frankly, I really couldn't give a hoot about international hockey but the ruling on this play is unbelievable.

Osgood and Riberio Find Out That Two Wrongs, Amazingly, Still Don't Make a Right
Osgood and Riberio Find Out That Two Wrongs, Amazingly, Still Don't Make a Right
With all due respect to my colleague Jes Golbez, I feel the urge to chime in on Ribeiro Slash-gate. With the amount of Pro-Osgood press the story is getting, I'm a little surprised about how quickly everyone has cleared him of any and all charges. Sure, he took a "Chris Simon" right to the midsection, but was it really that bad? Maybe it's my eyesight, but it doesn't look half as painful as ...
