Maxime Talbot Brings the Energy

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers 

Going into the second period, the Pittsburgh Penguins were down 3-0, meanwhile the Philadelphia Flyers saw a game seven in their futures. That was, until Max Talbot and Daniel Carcillo got in a scrap. Carcillo punched Talbot to the ice. Both got a five minute major penalty for fighting. The fight brought the life back to the Pens.



13 seconds later, Ruslan Fedotenko of Pittsburgh, poked the puck behind Martin Biron. The goal was assisted by Evgeni Malkin. The second goal, 6:32 into the second period, was scored by  Mark Eaton, assisted by Tyler Kennedy and Ruslan Fedotenko. Sidney Crosby, who needs no introduction, tied up the game just minutes before the second period was over. Bill Guerin and Kristopher Letang assisted the kid.

The third period Sergei Goncahr slapshoted his way past Flyers goalie, giving his team the lead. Sidney Crosby scored an empty netter, 19:32 left in the game. With that, Penguins win the series 4-2 and move to the second round.

And now, the Flyers must wait another year to pursue their dreams of winning the first Stanley Cup championship since 1975.
