[thedddd]

I am sure you are in the majority in that thought.

LOL...Just like the random folks rooting for the Flyers this whole series.

The look defeated...If they look this way to start the 3rd it will be time to give congrats to the Flyers for winning the series.

4-1 Flyers with 1 period to go? I don't think the miracle is happening.

If any team has the firepower, it is Pittsburgh.

Ya think the coaches will shake hands or punch each other once this is over? I got Lavi

if it happens I'd consider myself putting NHL over NFL with the truly unthinkable and ANYTHING can happen type games.

There have been eight 3-goal periods from one team in this series. The last thing we want to do is jinx the Flyers' lead.

These aren't on him.

He's the goaltender....as far as I am concerned....they are all on him

Flyers came to play. Pens didn't. Getting beaten to every puck. Can't get a shot on net.

Malkin trying to do too much again. That's when he's at his worst.

And I really think that contact between Malkin and Crosby has fucked Crosby up. He was 2ppg before that hit, and ever since, he's been really really quiet.

 

[Darkstone42]

I'm going to go ahead and give up on this series, since the last time I did that the Penguins won two straight!

Giroux decked his ass as well, and that took some wind out of his sails

Anyone else have a feeling that this is about to get out of hand?

Unfortunately two straight (goals) won't be enough for us.

 

[Dacks]

Fact is, Pens can't give these Flyers free opportunities.

- Turnover in our own zone led to Giroux's goal.
- Pointless penalty by Cooke leads to a goal.
- Fleury playing too casual, puck dip or not.

On top of that, a bad bounce for the fourth one.

I hardly think I am random. I like the east and I like physical teams. The Flyers are a lot like the Bruins so I enjoy them.

This I would agree with. I mentioned this prior to the game if Pens fans were concerned. I have to believe Sid is playing with an injury. Not too mention he has been clocked a few times today. He's not the same.
