Roo is awesome. Could you ask for a better start to a game. Big hit on Crosby then a goal.
Also mad Max is the man. Homer did a great job getting him, he is just such an important player for this team. - LJF
That was the game right there. That's why the Flyers are never out of it. That's why, even if they lost today, they still had a great shot at a game 7. Due to the fact that they have players like Giroux who can set the tone, and that the team is capable of dominating even a great team like the Pens on any given game day.

So, who do you want in Round 2? - sbrubakerjr
Too early to tell, but with Sid and Malkin out of the way, why not Ovie next. I can't believe that the four teams to come out of the east may be Florida, Philly, Washington and Ottawa.

I thought they were an intelligent crowd. They cheered when it was needed. And they sensed from the way the Flyers were playing, that the game was over well before the final horn. So that led to a lack of excitement down the stretch, until the final minute. - MJL
i was expecting more energy from them, especially at the start of some key pk's and other moments. they seemed nervous to me. in the end, it means nothing, as the flyers won the game, and that's obviously what matters. it's a big moment for the franchise to beat crosby, especially when virtually nobody picked them to advance - wanted some more excitement and appreciation. that' just me.
They played a phenomenal game today and I am proud and impressed. But I won't go that far.
Anyway, I don't want to argue about this.
I am deeply,deeply impressed by Jagr. - PT21
No there was no real doubt. Any doubt offered was manufactured by some doubting fans. I've read so much nonsense. Such as we can't win a game 7. Can't win without Grossmann. They have no grit. Calling players a waste of a uniform. Blah,blah,blah!
What all Season has this team done all season to doubt them? To lack giving them support and believing in them? Nothing! Believing any thing else about this team is weak. I said it before and I'll say it again. Thank goodness this team isn't as weak mentally.

i agree w/u
giroux shouldn't need to wave up the crowd there at the end
Looks like we're leveling up. We don't know who we're facing next and we're about to get more healthy. We're going to need an injury update for Meszaros and Grossmann.
