Bundy on Crosby
- Jsaquella

Was asking for that all day long. Someone needed to pop him in the mouth just once.

Voracek has been coming on all Season. I think he is on the verge. Laviolette playing him all year on the PP point is paying off.
- MJL

Agreed, Jakub has semi-quietly made consistent improvement in his game.

unless someone does what Neal started doing today, that was as classless as it gets
- puckhead17

Easy way to stop that. Tell Neal during warm ups that if he so much as looks at Couts or Giroux, that Rinaldo is going to EARN a 20 game suspension on Crosby's head and Snider will pay the fine and his salary with a giggle

3-0 Panthers

It will, but the more time Timonen, Grossmann and Kubina get to mend, the better
- Jsaquella

Exactly. Timonen basically had the day off today.

I hear what your saying. Put them away. I want to win this on home ice and not worry about going back to Pittsburgh either.

I personally would have the big guy in the lineup on Wednesday.

agrEE completely.

One of the best things to come out of todays game is Kimmo getting most of the game off.

Alittle more rest and alittle less wear and tear can only help.

That's part of it. I don;t want the Pens to have any life, because they're still scary. You have a rattlesnake with a broken back, you still need to be careful. You ain't grabbing that (frank)er without gloves or a trap.

And bruises on his face won't affect his play.

It'd be the ideal time to dress him. Still would prefer a win a no payback than a loss and retribution

Theres only one thing to do with that snake. Cut its head off its body and burry it in the backyard.

Yeah gimme a break Shelley not going in next game. Leave as is.

rite!

Win game 4 and rest up. Closing it out in 4 helps prevent injuries. The Flyers don't need this series extended to risk someone getting injured from blocking a shot or getting run at or some fluke accident.

Also to Jsaq's point, show the killer instinct. You have them down and mortally wounded, strike them in the heart and end this thing Wednesday.

sounded like he was about to cry too

The hulk hogan thing afterwards was one for the ages. Can't believe they got him to do that for the Flyers
- JoeRussomanno

Can't believe it? The guy will do anything you want for 100 bucks...

It will, but the more time Timonen, Grossmann and Kubina get to mend, the better
- Jsaquella

What are the thoughts on Kubina's play so far? As far as the playoffs go, I think he's been good. I wish the Flyers would show more confidence in him though, he seems like the 5th or 6th Dman right now. I don't know if he was hurt for Game 1 but it does feel like Lilja is playing ahead of him at the time. I don't have the ice time to confirm or deny though.

Pretty much what Ottawa did with the Rangers, but Neal wasn't giving "noogies", there was no puck near Couturier, that's what's so scary about it, that Pittsburgh just doesn't give a damn, at all.

But I'm for that, we need to protect our players, as much as win the series.

- Jsaquella

I wouldn't have him in there for retribution. I don't think that is the right approach. But just to put him out there if there is any shenanigans. He's more experienced then Rinaldo and less likely to blow his top. Berube had to literally stand in front of Rinaldo on the bench at one point.

that is priceless

He is the 5th or 6th defenseman. He's been okay. Their icetime is similar.
