if a team can win 4 striaight for a sweep by targeting weak spots on a better team, why cant a team win four straight by fixing their problems and beating a weaker team?????

Anything is possible nh. If that happened my brother would have a heart attack because he finally has a chance to talk some junk and he has been taking full advantage. I've had the upper hand the last few years, plus I made both his sons Pens fans and he'll never forgive me for it.

Normally I'd say that's down right nasty, but since he's a flyers fan, convert his wife!

While slowing the tape down, I happened to notice that the TV game clock skipped from 9:04 remaining to 9:02. Not sure how that plays into any conspiracy stories on either side, but it’s something worth noting.

Didn't read through the comments of the blog but I think a few mentioned it was very whiny and homerish. But this line made me laugh... If you examined any game clock this would happen more than you think.

EDIT: See explanation of LA Kings and the clock pausing in the regular season.

Unbelievably one-sided review of the game....you call yourself a blogger. You are just like the team you "cover"-(i cant emphasize that any less) You can't handle the fact that the darlings of the NHL aren't cruising ,and are trying to pick gnatcrap out of pepper to legitimize and justify things.

Just call it down the middle......that is all anyone should and could ask for.

Right....Crosby was only playing to the whistle while slapping at Bryz's glove a good few seconds after the whistle. He wasn't doing that out of frustration and expecting to get away with it.....right?

Please distinguish between the gameday portion and my Game 3 review with thoughts and opinions. I try to keep the gameday's pretty objective -- note no usage of Wizard of Oz character photo-shopping.

Where I say in advance that I'll be expressing personal thoughts and opinions, expect exactly that.

BTW, Crosby didn't slap once after the whistle on Bryz -- just quadruple-checked, but that's so last game.

Enjoy tonight's action!

Thanks for reading.

Great start. Although, they didn't blow the lead.

Did anyone else see Giroux's head snap back like a sniper bullet went through it.

Girouxs a classy pro he would never snap his head back.

Great discipline. The PK blows so lets continue to take penalties.

It's like they don't want to win. How can you have such a crap start down 3-0?

How is it possible they have any feet left to shoot off?

They're pathetic. Another unfocussed, unprepared, undisciplined start.

What's everyone doing this summer?

Atta boy Geno. Awful rebound by Bryz. These goalies are struggling to put it lightly.

Jesus does Bryz suck. I can't believe we are down 3-0 in a series to this guy.
