The only remaining question for final game 4 of this series is:

Will Bryzgalov and Fleury get involved in a fight?
That would be humongous.
I would love to see Bryzgalov beat the crap out of that little weasle, have been waiting on such an event ever since Fleury´s ratty smile after the NYI-PIT brawl..

I tell you what, I'm still livid over James Neal running Giroux and Couturier. The stuff with Crosby and Adams, that's frustrations boiling over or cheap gamesmanship. Neal...I lost every ounce of respect I had for that guy today.

amen

Losing Gill and Scuderi hurt more than Shero could ever have known.

He didn't resign them because of the price, but both of them would've made something like 5.25 mil, while Martin is getting $5 mil by himself. Add in another near $5mil contract in Michalek and they look AWFUL.

And Talbot, while not typically a force on the ice (his production this year wasn't typical), is great for the locker room.

Shero needs to make some major moves this offseason.

He may know it, but it's not always easy to find somebody to take them off his hands. I think they have either a NMC or at least modified NTC

It looked incidental. He was trying to get a hold on Hartnell's shoulder pad.
- nhindian

It wasn't incidental in my opinion. Adams was in a rage.

I think so far in the series two arguments have been settled, 1 Lavy is a better coach than Bylsma,

2 Bryz is a better goalie than the Flower.

Hopefully soon we see that the Flyers are clearly a better team than the pens.

bylsma just had a ton of trouble answering a question about asham. said that from what he saw the crosscheck was to the chest.

I mean he sucks as for his attitude and behavior. Obviously he's a world class player, I just wish he'd act like it. Then I could stomach how the league goes out of its way to protect him.

Meh, he's the golden boy, but his BS isn;t hurting guys or injuring guys...Neal's running around like a jackass

I cant believe Neal was still on the bench at the end of the game and Rinaldo was sent back. Oh my God my blood is boiling. I wont be able to sleep tonight.

My God, what is NBC going to do with all of the Sidney Crosby programming they have recorded for the next 2 months? They must be scrambling right now because they probably didn't bother to make up anything else.

- Jsaquella

I agree but Crosby's antics are causing a lot of these situations to happen.

The Pens lost control today. They played out of character and the more they run around like idiots the better it is for the Flyers because were winning the most important battle.

What Neal did today at the end of the game is classless.
- stveshdy

The Pens completely lacked leadership today. From the Coach on down to the players. They played and acted with a complete lack of composure.

I'm done with the golden boy. The league wants a golden boy how bout Stamkos or Giroux.

Agreed.

It wasn't incidental in my opinion. Adams was in a rage.
- MJL

Why would he grab the very bottom of his hair on the side instead of a nice tug near his back?

Can't stand Tortorella but he was right in his criticisms of that team.

And Hartnell was screaming in pain while Adams kept pulling...

Crosby's antics had zero to do with Neal's running Couturier and then Giroux, and had nothing to do with Asham's attack on Schenn

I cant believe Neal was still on the bench at the end of the game and Rinaldo was sent back. Oh my God my blood is boiling. I wont be able to sleep tonight.

That was a big mistake by the referees. Neal should have received a 10 minute misconduct right off the bat, and it would have settled down.

Why would he grab the very bottom of his hair on the side instead of a nice tug near his back?

Because his elbows aren't double jointed?

He was in such a rage he may not have even realized it.

I guess Bylsma didn't see the mark on Schenn's neck later in the game. He has no answers, his team is pretty much cooked.

Because that's what he could reach.

- Jsaquella

We see it differently then. Crosby being who he is and doing what he does over the course of the game is the problem. The Pens feel like they have to defend their superstar (which they should) and the Flyers are fighting back.

The Pens completely lacked leadership today. From the Coach on down to the players. They played and acted with a complete lack of composure.

a total disgrace...

If he doesn't try to sneak slam hartnell that last brawl doesn't happen. If he doesn't swat Timmonen's glove away from him the first brawl doesn't happen. He's a cheap POS and deserves anything he gets from here on out.
