Here are your Afternoon Puck Headlines: A glorious collection of news and views collected from the greatest blogosphere in sports and the few, the proud, the mainstream hockey media.
Where were you on May 15, 1984? Ozzy Osbourne was being booked on public intoxication charges in Shelby County, Tennessee. While wearing a St. Louis Blues shirt. [St. Louis Game Time]
No Braydon Coburn, no Gary Roberts for tonight's tilt between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. Pittsburgh claims that Roberts has a mild case of pneumonia. Obviously, they don't understand that Gary Roberts doesn't get pneumonia; pneumonia gets Gary Roberts. [Sportsnet]
Our buddy Kevin Schultz brings back his Playoff Beard Awards, including MVP Alex Ovechkin for his version of "the Ted Kaczynski." While we're indeed impressed with Ben Guite's tribute to Lemmy from Motorhead, we're convinced that the greatest innovation in the Field of Playoff Beardery is Jaromir Jagr's caterpillar. [Barry Melrose Rocks]
The Boston Bruins have re-signed Chuck Kobasew, but their cap situation will make it very hard to chase after someone like Marian Hossa in the off-season. Especially considering he's going to sign with the Habs (e10,000). (No, seriously, we're just guessing.) (And we'd never make you pay for rumors, even if we had some to sell.) (Promise.) [Bruins Blog]
We're rather fond of Raskolnikov from Melt Your Face Off for his ornate ability to turn "don't go there" into "I just did." His latest: Imagining rink-side reporters like Pierre McGuire and Chris Simpson in the Modano/Ford marital bedroom. [MYFO]
The KB introduces the good people of Vancouver to the Canucks' new assistant to the regional manager at Dunder Mifflin, Mr. Scott Mellanby. [Orland Kurtenblog]
Firing up the bandwagon to bring the 2011 World Juniors to Buffalo. We're all for this: Dozens of 19-year-old European players experiencing atomic buffalo wings for the first time is a YouTube classic waiting to happen. [Third Man In]
When Tony Kornheiser announced he was ending his career as a newspaper columnist, we just assumed he had finally run out of stamps after mailing it in for the last several years. On Frozen Blog offers its own tribute to Mr. Tony, who has bashed hockey so vehemently for the last two decades that his hands must be exhausted. Well, from that, and from counting that fabulous ESPN moolah. [OFB]
Finally, Edmonton-era Wayne Gretzky doll was great at making time with Barbie. Especially Struggling Actress Who Wants To Leave Canada and Move To L.A. Barbie. [Hockey Beat]

You got me. My streak of anti-Flyers propaganda has been broken.

...especially when Flyers fans were so ripe for ridicule after the widespread pouting when the Pens made it 3-2 in the 3rd. Seriously, don't Flyers fans know that 2 is less than 3 and that the Flyers were still winning?
