Talbot’s game-winner pushes Penguins past Flyers 4-2
PITTSBURGH (AP) -Losing on an Evgeni Malkin goal, or Sidney Crosby goal, the Philadelphia Flyers might understand.
Losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins on fourth-line forward Max Talbot’s goal will be very difficult for the Flyers to deal with, especially in a series that is fast slipping away from them.
Talbot, a [...]

Hossa’s OT goal gives Penguins 3-2 win, ends Rangers season
PITTSBURGH (AP) -So much for the talk a team as young as the Pittsburgh Penguins couldn’t advance this far in the playoffs. So much for the speculation Marian Hossa couldn’t score big postseason goals.

Malkin, frantic comeback win it as Penguins beat Rangers 5-4
PITTSBURGH (AP) -A memorable Pittsburgh comeback left the Penguins laughing at each other, an improbable victory accomplished. And left the New York Rangers, with their decided edge in experience, wondering how they possibly could lose such a big lead in such a big game.
Evgeni Malkin deflected [...]
Pretty good article about Evgeni Malkin. Like many others though, it spends time with the Malkin v. Crosby argument.
