Worst Possible Way To Lose an Overtime Hockey Game
The Norfolk Admirals beat the Toronto Marlies in Game 3 of the AHL Calder Cup Finals 1-0 on Thursday night, but how it happened is the big story.

Kostka Special
The Florida Panthers placed Mike Kostka on waivers earlier today. He's one of several AHL level defenders with waiver rights and a 24 hour window. Kostka is a very interesting player because of his skill set and the numbers he posted in the American Hockey League.
