Neal runs Couturier and Giroux then Rinaldo touches Kennedy and gets a penalty?

Rinaldo needs to retire. He'll never get a fair shake again in this league. Ever.

Well, duh. That's pretty normal. Where have you been?

How many games will Neal be suspended for?

Beyond ridiculous. Neal leaves his skates and hits a defenseless player who isnt even near the puck.

I disagreed that Mario/Shero/Bylsma/anyone but those actually involved will/should get punished.

I agree that it was a complete embarrassment.

The league will have the Pens shorthanded early and often in 4. They need to do some damage control so thier league doesnt look like the WWE, plus the Pens deserve it.

I see that point. Then he deserves a penalty, and maybe even an ass kicking from Asham. But not a crosscheck to the neck. Not under any circumstances is that okay. That is a clear intent to injure.
- MJL

No, you can kill someone doing that, I would never not even to any of the Pens players as bad as I am stoked right now. Gotta admit the win is a perfect counterbalance to my frustration

Boy we whipped the dogsnot out of them!

Bryz was bad there for a bit but he finished strong! I think he definitely comesback on fire wednesday. I think the one goal that went through his five hole could have been stopped. Seemed like he should have had his stick in a better position before going into the butterfly. Just some technical stuff which can be ironed out in practice. GO FLYERS!!!!!!

Seriously though do you know what it was?

I believe it was "you can't beat us"

it's an on going problem with the pens. they truly are ufc on ice when things don't go their way. it's an abomination. they pay the players and put them on the ice, they're complicit

This is something the Flyers need to be aware of, remember 2010 and what you did to us when everyone thought you were cooked. I don't wanna be a buzzkill, and I am rooting for you guys, today was disgusting but if they do buckle down you could end up on the wrong side of history just like we did. Just saying.
- Rayven

Yea, I think the fact that I think at least 6 guys from that Flyers team are still around should help protect from that.

The Flyers don't need to start anything in game 4. Defend themselves as needed but they do not and should not be targeting or starting anything.

Focus on getting the win period end of story

Agreed. The biggest thing they can do to the Pens is end their Season. Next year there will be plenty of time for retribution. The Flyers have a bigger goal in mind. Can't risk an injury due to retribution or a suspension.

That was started by Crosby in an act of total disrespect for one of the classier players in the league. Sorry Cindy you have a ton of talent a nice little Stanley Cup ring but who the heck are you to swat Kimo's glove from him like that?!

Glad they made that call on Rinaldo to send the message early that such conduct won't be tolerated.

The only playoffs the Leafs watch right now are the Masters.

Does anyone know if Giroux is ok? He didn't look good after Neal tried to hurt him. Then he wasn't on the ice at the end of the game, which I understand why. When they showed him on the bench, he didn't look good.

any word if giroux is okay?

Holy (frank) what a game

James Neal just rocketed up my "Biggest female doges in the League Rankings"

Crosby should have gotten 10 minutes in the first period for causing that "brawl" and escalating it twice.

Well no shortage of things to discuss over the next 3 days.

Hopefully we can keep it civil around here that long.

I'm off to workout all this nervous energy. Later peeps.......

AWESOME WIN BOYS. WOOOOOT!!!!

there's no excuse for what the pens did today. asham should be in jail. bylsma needs to be put in his place. the pens know better and they know what they did today is classless, gutless and very dangerous. just blatant disrespect to the game.
