Matt Murray is certain he doesn't wear faulty equipment.

When Tampa Bay Lighting defenseman Anton Stralman buried a goal on Murray's glove side Monday night, the internet reacted as though the puck may have gone through his trapper, and into the goal.

Though this angle seems convincing, Murray ensured that wasn't the case.

Murray on the speculation that a goal went through his glove: "I would say 'don't believe everything you see on the internet.'"

After all, camera angles can be deceptive, which the Penguins pointed out in their response to the claim.

Finland stayed perfect through preliminary round action Tuesday at the World Hockey Championship with a dominant 4-0 victory over Canada that clinched top seed in Group B.

Mikko Koskinen made 21 saves to earn the shutout, while Tommi Kivisto, Leo Komarov, Mike Pyorala, and Jarno Koskiranta scored the unanswered goals on Canadian goalie Cam Talbot, who was markedly out of sorts.

Finland, absolutely surging as a hockey power, has put itself in strong position for another medal, having earned a date with Denmark in the next round thanks to its clean 7-0-0-0 record.

Meanwhile, Canada, which had its 16-game winning streak at the tournament snapped, will take on a Sweden team with just one loss on its resume.

Finland scored 29 goals while allowing just six during the group stage. Canada outscored the competition 34-8 despite the letdown.

The OHL's Flint Firebirds have signed veteran junior hockey coach and executive George Burnett to a three-year contract as the club's new general manager.

“The League is entrusting George Burnett with the hockey operations of the Flint Firebirds and we believe his experience will provide the players, parents, billets, and team staff with stability and expertise,” OHL Commissioner David Branch said in a statement Tuesday.

“Burnett will be backed by a strong team in hockey operations, including Joe Stefan who is well known to Flint Firebirds players and families.”

Stefan was appointed assistant GM and director of player development.

The OHL took control of the team's operations in February, and Branch handed owner Rolf Nilsen a five-year suspension in April after Nilsen fired the team's coaching staff twice in the same season, reportedly as part of a dispute over his son's ice time.

Burnett spent this season serving as head coach and GM of the OHL's Hamilton Bulldogs after 11 years with the Belleville Bulls.

“I am excited to be joining the Flint Firebirds organization and dedicating 100 percent of my time to the management of the team,” Burnett said.

“The Flint Firebirds have a bright and promising future and I look forward to being part of the team and the Genesee County community.”

Burnett has also spent four seasons with the Oshawa Generals organization, was an assistant coach with the Anaheim Ducks for two seasons in the late 1990s, and served as head coach of the Edmonton Oilers for 35 games in 1994-95.

A coaching announcement is expected "imminently", according to the release from the club.

TSN's Ray Ferraro calls out Corey Perry for dirty play on Patrik Laine as Finland leads Canada 3-0 after 2 periods pic.twitter.com/qUYYm3g6ZV

Patrik Laine has already gotten the attention of one of the game's, let's say, more sandpapered stars.

Corey Perry took a run at the highly touted draft-eligible prospect in the early-round matchup between Canada and Finland at the World Championship, sweeping out his leg to crash shins on his way off the ice.

The Tampa Bay Lightning remain confident that starter Ben Bishop will be at their disposal during the Eastern Conference Final versu the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Coach Jon Cooper relayed that message to the media Tuesday, a day after backup Andrei Vasilevskiy was solid in relief of Bishop, posting 38 saves to nearly anchor an unlikely second straight win on enemy ice.

Bishop has been one of the most consistent goalies in the NHL since joining the Bolts, winning more games than any of his peers over the last three campaigns, and shaving his goals-against average down to a minuscule 2.06 this season.

He was carted off on a stretcher and replaced by Vasilevskiy 12-plus minutes into the series after suffering an apparent leg injury when he got tangled up with Patric Hornqvist.

Ken Hitchcock continues to oh-so slightly prod at his coaching counterpart Pete DeBoer.

The Blues boss told reporters Tuesday that he'd prefer to see veteran winger Patrick Marleau stay put on the San Jose Sharks' second line, rather than shifting down to center the third, as rumoured.

"We don't like that match. He should stay on the second line. We don't like that one. I'm not telling Pete how to coach. Nor am I telling him how to referee. Just telling him we don't like that match."

Hitchcock also employed some old-school gamesmanship to dig at DeBoer on Monday, using the media to let him know that unlike the Sharks, St. Louis will not petition the officiating crew while speaking to reporters.

Vladimir Tarasenko was absent from the St. Louis Blues' morning workout in advance of Tuesday's Western Conference Final Game 2 versus the San Jose Sharks, but is expected to be in the lineup.

And with a little something extra to play for.

Tarasenko missed the skate to be with his wife, Yana, who gave birth to their son, Aleksandr, the club announced.

And since Aleksandr came in the morning, his volume-scoring father will not only play, but might still be able to squeeze in that pregame nap. Though for the next little while, those might be few and far between.

Sidney Crosby has scored a bigger one, but his touch finish short side on Andrei Vasilevskiy in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final may one day rank as one of his most important goals as a professional.

Here are five of the greatest finishes in Sid's NHL career.

Welcome back, Sid

A celebration over 10 months in the making. Crosby scores one of his prettiest goals - and presumably his most cathartic - slicing through three New York Islanders defenders and finishing with a gorgeous backhand five minutes into his return from almost a full year of inaction.

15, and none bigger

Crosby scored only once in the Penguins' seven-game triumph in the 2009 Stanley Cup Final. But his go-ahead convert on a 2-on-1 with Evgeni Malkin was the decisive goal in a win that prevented Pittsburgh from going down 3-1 in the series.

Legacy game

Despite Crosby leading the postseason in goals in Pittsburgh's Stanley Cup-winning season, the Conn Smythe went to Malkin. But the franchise would not have reached that culminating series had Crosby not put the Penguins on his back in the second round. He collected 13 points in the club's seven-game series win over the Capitals - none more important than the Game 7 icebreaker.

Welcome to the Crosby show, Canada

It doesn't officially count as a goal, and secured merely an extra point, but few finishes can compare to a moment in his first game against Crosby's boyhood club, the Montreal Canadiens. Crosby eviscerates Jose Theodore's water bottle with a backhand that let the hockey world know just how dangerous his secondary weapon is.

An OT winner at last

Steadily making a habit of silencing critics this season, Crosby responded to the most recent bit of heavily misguided criticism before it could even enter his consciousness. His first-career overtime goal in the Stanley Cup Playoffs rescued the Penguins from consecutive losses on home ice to the Lightning to begin the East final.

Have you ever wanted to hang out in the summer home of a hockey legend? Wendel Clark is hoping you do.

The former Toronto Maple Leafs captain has made his cottage available on Airbnb.

The listing features plenty of pictures and details of the expansive property, which can be yours for $5,001 Canadian per night.

The property includes a main cottage, four guest cottages, six parking spots, and two boat slips. There's also 200 feet of water frontage, fishing rods, a BBQ, pool table, and sofa.

Clark won't be there while the summer tenants occupy the space, but he wants others to take advantage of the amenities.

"My family and I split our time between the city and the cottage, so listing our Muskoka cottage on Airbnb is a great way to monetize it and let others enjoy it while we're not there," he said in a statement.

“I’m really looking forward to hosting some fans and their friends at the lake, interested to see who might want to come up and enjoy it for a weekend.”

Despite the "no parties or events" rule, the rest of them are pretty hilarious.

There's a two-night minimum stay, but the cottage accommodates up to 15 guests in 10 bedrooms.

Start pooling your money, Leafs fans.
