The Penguins and Flyers have scored 45 goals this series. The other three Eastern Conference series have combined for 46

the good news for the Flyers is that it's next to impossible for a team to come back from a 3 zip hole.

the bad new for the Flyers is that a LOT of teams have come back from a 3 - 1 hole.

- FlyerGuy



But the good news is that not many have come back from 3-0.

You need to let it go. Enjoy the win and show some confidence, I feel 100 times better than I did 4 hours ago. Long way to go but at least we have reason to be a little optimistic. I'm telling you, if the Pens come out on Friday and take it to them the pressure mounts and the sticks get gripped a little tighter.

Yeah. I know. Breathe...exhale. It's gone. I enjoyed seeing them play with a pulse tonight. It was evident they came to play when they were killing that 4-3 in the 1st. You could tell the light was on. Then they took over. And I agree. If they win Friday. It's on. Especially if MAF plays well in the win and Bryz looks like the typical post-season version of Bryz. Though, I would not be shocked to see Bob in net Friday night.

He kept playing, but only had around 10 minutes of ice if I recall proper
- ryman1566


If I remember correctly he was still on the bench during the game but didn't play. The philly announcers kept saying he got hit in the jaw. So who knows.
I doubt the flyers let him sit on the bench if he was possibly concussed.
Hoping they were just resting his knees. That would be a big loss losing Grossmann for any stretch.

There's a reason they say the 4th one is the hardest to get. Especially when you're playing a team as talented as this one.

Flyers Grossman out with a concussion. More to come.

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm laughing at Ek not the injury.

I want to respond but I no understand you. Vitale hit him?
- canadianpenfan

there are posts on the Flyers thread that Vitale hit him. But I don't remember any late or dirty hits tonight ... other than Rinaldo's idiocy.

It will be interesting to see how the youth on the Flyers react. Leading your team to a comeback win down 3-0 in game 1 is not the same as closing out a desperate and talented team.

Even in the first period, except for flopping, Courturier was invisible, along with Schenn.

Ok now it makes sense. Just another Flyer fan looking to blame someone in a loss. I'm sure he was OK with the penalties in the first though. Plus, i don't need to see it to tell it wasn't dirty, someone would have done that for us a long time ago.

Nope. Kennedy.

he'd BETTER be pissed off. there was a LOT to be pissed off about.

I actually don't think DB took a timeout to piss off Lavy. I think it was more of a "okay, we got a big lead but I still want to see solid positional play out there." Just to make sure no bad habits creep into the Pens play.
