All right I'm done talking about the scumness of our cross state rivals. I feel sorry for their fans that they had to watch such a disgrace. Some pens fans have really grown on me and if the Flyers move past this round like they should, I hope to continue conversing with them.

That being said, I am so proud of my PHILADELPHIA FLYERS!!!!!

Actually watched the postgame with Vai and Eskin. WOW.

Eskin gave this team mad props even the goalie!

This is gonna be a beautiful spring my friends, feel better about this Flyers team than I have any in a LONG LONG time.

Why do people overrate MAF so much?

I don't get it...
- LordStanley88

It's not that we overrate MAF, it's just that Bryz has looked shaky a lot during this series. It's not like Bryz is wining the games for Philly

- Jsaquella

so awkward without the crowdnoise

i almost picture it as a Krusty the Clown scene:

director: "and cut!!"

hulk: "so we're done?" *lights cigarette*

Neal hitting Couturier was his own aggression and frustration, same with hitting Giroux.
- Jsaquella

Yea but that ain't the reason for that last brawl. If Crosby doesn't try to sneak slam Hartnell none of that happens at the end. Crosby was the final straw.

Neal's an idiot but all this drama started earlier in the game because the Pens were acting like fools following their Captain.
- stveshdy

The captain is supposed to lead by being the best player on the ice, and getting his team back in the game. Not by all the BS he was far more focused on today.

I think Neal blew a gasket after Grossmann hit his knee
- nhindian

Here's what I don't understand, then why just go after Grossmann? The guy can't move, it is not like Neal couldn't find him. Neal's actions were classless, if he had a problem with Grossmann, he should have went after him.

Giroux did the on ice interview for NHL network, so I'm assuming he is ok.

Good news.

Cool. That's still no excuse for his actions.

Never said it was.

He was important in the first two games IMO. This was his worst game. Good on the Flyers to get through it

cardichi also said that crosby was telling the media that he hates everyone on the flyers, but especially voracek. It seems like a really weird person to hate out of the whole flyers team but go Jake!
- thenighttrain17

that should end any speculation as to whether jake'll be here nxt yr or not

100% agree. He was a clown today.

That's true but Bryz has made some huge saves at key times in this series. Without those saves I doubt the Flyers would be up 3-0 at this point.

Bryzgalov has made numerous big saves at crucial times. Saves that if they weren't made, could have very well led the Flyers to lose one of the first two games, if not both of them.

Seriously? He's a big reason they are ahead 3-0. I think he's guilty of letting in like 3 bad goals. Today there were two of em. But his third periods in this series have been stellar and that is a big difference to the other guy. It's not how you start it's how you finish.

I don't know... why are a lot of people here saying to take runs at Crosby now instead of Neal because of his actions??

League going to apologize to penguins for this loss too? I can't believe how dirty Penguins played today. Neal, Asham, and Adams should all get suspended for that bull-skype. Maybe the league will start to show Crosby for what he really is. You cant have the face of the league acting like this... just disgraceful.

The Flyers werent being nice to Crosby, its the Flyers fault.

Cause Neal wont be playing. I dont care about running Crosby. I just hope the Pens play the same way again next game so they can worry about acting like idiots instead of trying to win the game.

the lessons learned from boston the last 2 years will really come in handy going forward now, imo

the comeback in '010 shows that no team is dead until that 4th loss


and the sweep last year shows that what you do in the 1st round doesnt mean squat


lets roll

I'll be very surprised if Neal is suspended.

I can't speak for other fans, Neal was trying to injure by his actions. I don't think he wanted any part of Grossmann. Grossmann was pretty much on the ice whenever Malkin was on the ice. As far as Crosby, he does instigate things, which I believe his teammates are prone to follow their leader.

Me too, cause then the league would have integrity.

Exactly. The Pens players followed Crosby. He couldn't lead them on the scoreboard, so he led them in that nonsense.

- MJL

This team has done there job ...get under Crosby's skin and he will be completely off his game...a major weakness of his has clearly shown...when frustrated he isn't mature enough to see through it and battle his team back like the great captains in this game do.
