#TBT - Penguins Score Franchise Record 8 Goals in a Period
Two years ago, Brian MacLellan signedBrooks Orpik to a five-year deal because of the veteran defensemansleadership and experience. Tuesday night in Game Six, the 35-year-old Orpik took a four-minute double minor penalty for high-sticking.
The Penguins scored twice on the resulting power play.
The penalty occurred near the crease as both players began to skate up ice. Patric Hornqvist put his stick into Orpiks hip, and Orpiklost his balance. As Orpik fell over, his stick struck Horniqvist in the left cheek.
Heres the high stick from another angle.
NBCSN analyst Mike Milbury saidduring the second intermission that he believed the high stick was intentional.
This was retaliation, pure and simple, Milbury said.
Hornqvists face looked gnarly.
Fortyseconds into the Orpiks double minor, Phil Kessel scored his second goal of the game.
Thirty-threeseconds after that, Carl Hagelin made it 3-0.
Orpik skated back to the bench, dejected.
Game Six marked Orpiks return from a three-game suspension for elbowing Olli Maatta in the head. Maatta recordedthe primary assist on Hagelins goal.

Cheeky: Robin Thicke"s girlfriend April Love Geary showed off her peachy behind as she leaned over the edge of a boat in Dubai on Friday
"Hello lover boy," she wrote of her older boyfriend as he was reflected in the glass of their beach hut, snapping her effortless model poses.
With his ripped torso on show, Robin was caught in the act as he stood at the edge of the pool photographing his lithe, sun-kissed girlfriend.
She was barefoot, wearing just a string bikini and leaning provocatively inside their sliding doors as they spent a day by the private pool.

Poking fun at her extremely slender frame, she joked in the caption: "Out boating (I"m just gonna say it so y"all don"t have to. SOMEONE FEED ME A BURGER)"

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Divorce: How the Couple Is Handling Their Split

The pair married in February last year, after meeting on the set of 2011"s "The Rum Diary". But it"s not been plain sailing for the stars. They found themselves in legal trouble in 2015 when they broke Australia"s strict biosecurity laws by secretly bringing two dogs into the country. They even released a video apologising for the incident. SOUNDBITE Actors, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, saying (English): HEARD: "Australia"s a wonderful island, with a treasure trove of unique plants, animals and people" DEPP: "It has to be protected." HEARD: "Australia"s free of many pests and diseases that are commonplace around the world. That is why Australia has to have such strong biosecurity laws."

Protecting Australia is important." DEPP: "Declare everything when you enter Australia." A show of togetherness from the pair, which now looks like it"s coming to an end.

More Severe Weather and Tornadoes Roil Plains; No Injuries
Violent EF4 tornado crossing road at close range - Abilene, Kansas, May 25, 2016
Severe weather spawning numerous tornadoes roiled large stretches of Kansas for a second day Thursday, prompting residents to anxiously watch the skies but causing only scattered damage in rural areas and no injuries or deaths.
A late afternoon tornado warning in the Kansas City area prompted a brief precautionary evacuation of Kansas City International Airport in Missouri, forcing travelers and other visitors into parking garage tunnels, local media reported. The airport was back in operation by early evening.
The area was on high alert a day after a half-mile-wide tornado stayed on the ground for about 90 minutes near Chapman, Kansas, Wednesday night and traveled 26 miles.
The National Weather Service began issuing tornado warnings early Thursday afternoon, with the first sighting of a tornado near the tiny northeast Kansas town of St. George in Riley County about 2 p.m.
An hour later, five tornadoes were reported in a cluster of counties in northeast Kansas, where law enforcement reported baseball-size hail that damaged cars and homes in Meriden northeast of Topeka.
At the same time, several southwestern Kansas counties were under tornado warnings, but no twisters had touched down.
Early Thursday evening, the weather service said a tornado knocked down tree limbs and damaged some outbuildings near the 4,400-resident northeastern Kansas town of Wamego, though the intensity of that twister would not be assessed until Friday.
In neighboring Missouri, an Air Force worker at the Whiteman base roughly 70 miles southeast of Kansas City reported a tornado had touched down.
The tornado on Wednesday night near 1,400-resident Chapman, 140 miles west of Kansas City, Kansas, damaged or destroyed about 20 homes but edged past Chapman"s southern side after forecasters declared a "tornado emergency" for the town. "Numerous" miles of power lines were extensively damaged, along with a set of railroad tracks, Kansas officials said Thursday.
A survey team from the National Weather Service office at Topeka rated the tornado as an EF4 on a scale of tornado strength EF5 is the highest with estimated peak winds of 180 mph.
In Kansas" Dickinson County, a tornado Wednesday was blamed for destroying eight homes and heavily damaging as many as 20 others and farmsteads.
"It"s amazing how this tornado missed those centers of population," said Paul Froelich, a Dickinson County fire district. "And we had outstanding early warning on this. ... People knew well in advance of this storm. Consider also, this is Kansas. This is Tornado Alley."
A typical tornado dissipates within 10 minutes after losing the proper balance of winds flowing into and out of the storm. Tornado researcher Erik Rasmussen of the University of Oklahoma said Thursday that conditions were right to keep the Chapman storm churning no storms were nearby to disrupt it.
A twister at Chapman June 11, 2008, tore a path of destruction six blocks wide. Officials said one woman died, 100 homes were destroyed or heavily damaged, and 80 percent of the town was damaged.
