The Hornqvist Interval

+

I somehow ended up in On The Forechecks outdated glossary of terms and came across this little gem The Hornqvist Interval: The time between the freezing of the puck and the whistle that opposing defenders use to facewash, cheap-shot, elbow, slap, punch, or otherwise harass (with seeming immunity from sanction) Patric Hornqvist in front of an opponent’s goal.

Yeah, Dumo for 6 more years!

WaPo About Pens/Caps

Max Talbot was cheering for the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 7

Max Talbot's place in Pittsburgh Penguins history is cemented. Though he hasn't played for Pittsburgh in five seasons, he'll always be remembered for his Game 7 performance against the Detroit Red Wings: the one that won the Penguins the Stanley Cup back in 2009.

The Pens won by a score of 2-1. Talbot scored both goals.

Kind of sounds like Bryan Rust, doesn't it? It's only fitting, because Talbot was cheering for the Penguins in their Game 7 battle against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

While Talbot is now moving on - he's signed with HC Lokomotiv in the KHL - he hasn't forgotten his time with the Penguins. And he was with them last night.
