See Crosby...

Exactly, even the leagues top point producer can be shutdown. But when you play the Flyers we dont need 3 guys on Crosby or Malkins back. We just throw Giroux and Couts at them.

If you trade him, and im only lobbying for tgis because the contract is an albatross, you get an established player which fils a team need not a marketing one.

or the refs need to nut up and at least call one out of 4 shifts he has with a stick between his legs.

Till Pens get over losing to the Fly Guys, cant really respond to that!

it was pretty cool to see malkin on crobsys line. they still refused to deviate from humping crosby into the ground with 3 people

Agreed, a win tonight and all the pressure is on the Rangers in game 7
- BiggE

I really believe they will get it done tonight and force a game 7. Then anything can happen. Just have to focus on this one game.

Ot: I find it hilarious that Ritchie and carts may be part of two teams down 3 0 to come back and win the series. La totally has San Jose on the run. It's amazing really. Epic comeback

I used to hang there all the time. Jack was a good bartender. There used to be a short guy with a mustache behind the bar who's name escapes me at the moment. He was a good one too.

After the rage has died down after a few days ago, we can look back and see a team that- for the most part- dictated the 5v5 play during long stretches of the game.

The powerplay has let them down in this series.

The Rangers are a beatable team. If the Flyers work hard on the boards and play a north/south game, we'll see a game 7. I want to say I expect them to come right out of the shoot tonight, but that'd be silly because they probably won't.

I really feel like if they win tonight, they won't lose game 7.

I don't want to shave yet.

Back to studying.

Made all the more amazing by the complete beat down they were getting at the start of the series.

I don't care who you are in todays NHL, if a team wants to shut someone down, they're gonna do it. Defensive systems are too good plus players are faster and bigger so there is less space to operate.

All of today's stars have had extended playoff slumps. Crosby, Malkin, Toews, Kane, etc.. It happens.

Crosby is used to the attention. Nothing new to him. I am convinced he is injured.

that, and the whole HEY ITS PLAYOFF HOCKEY. HES A SUPERSTAR. it takes a total 180 from the regular season.

So, every series, fans have their punching bags when things aren't going so well. Pens had Crosby, Malkin, Adams, Glass, Scuderi this last series. What Flyers are taking the brunt of fan venom?

the only thing that makes me think he is injured, is when he has had the moments of slight space and open ice, he just doesnt have that kick into overdrive that he usually has. last night he had a partial break away and eventually had to pull wide because he couldnt get past a BJ that he had an initial half a step on. so i do think there is some merit there.

Yes. We need to acquire only players who have won a cup. Those guys don't choke
