Status: offline 		I really expected more, from the Phlyers. Yeah, yeah they are down two defensemen, but it has been the PEN'S defense (including the forwards) that have made the difference, not the Phlyer's.

Detroit is going to be tough. They are extremely methodical. The Pen's have better speed, and energy though, and they're going to need every bit of it. Like I posted before, we haven't seen the likes of Detroit, but they haven't seen the likes of the Pens either. Osgood has played well, but I have to give the edge to MAH in net. It will be a very tough series, and game one will be a challenge for the Pens to win. I believe the winner of game two, takes the cup.

Of course since these series have both gone 3-0, Red Wing fans on Hockey Futures have become unbearable.  Apparently the Penguins have zero chance and shouldn't show up if they beat Philly.  We have no goaltending, no defense, and Crosby whines and dives...

They are too demoralized to thug anything up.  They just want to go home.

This series has provided a real test for Laraque. He already has challenged Derian Hatcher, who has been trying to manhandle Malkin, but the Flyers defenseman declined.

"If you're 6-foot-5, 230, back it up," Laraque said. "Look at [Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno] Chara. Chara's big, he plays physical, but backs it up if he has to. [Anaheim Ducks defenseman Chris] Pronger. But Hatcher never does. He's a bully."




Hatcher's afraid of Big Georges?

It's real easy for Hatcher to pick on Tyler Kenedy, Little Sidney Crosby and teenage Jordan Staal, but he won't touch the big boys.

"Amazing and inspiring:
Did you know that the Flyers are missing Coburn, Timonen, 32 Norris Trophy winners, Superman, Batman, Hulk Hogan, Mike Tyson, and the love-child of Gretzky and Lemieux from their line-up? The fact that they somehow have the strength and heart to even make it to the rink under those conditions should earn them the Stanley Cup of Perserverance. "

Nothing would be more painful than a Penguin logo and the Cup on the same shirt


I don't think Inuk and I will have to worry about wearing a Pens shirt with the cup on it this year....although they are playing with allot of confidence and that will help....Of course they have to win this series first and the fat lady aint sung yet...

I dont know about looking beaten, they certainly have not played good hockey this series, a lot has to do with the Pens, some has to do with missing their defensemen.  I would hope they come out with some desperation tomorrow night, something they have not shown this series.

I was actually getting nervous towards the end of the Montreal series.  I thought they played average over all with a few moments of greatness and thats why they won.

Down 2-0, and back on home ice, you would expect them to come out with as muich fire as they can produce. Apparently, THAT was 8 shots in two periods.

Thunder sticks are actually pretty cool, well at least my daughter loves them.

downie's got to sit, I dont recall anybody calling him a big game player though, I' ve never seen it.
 

Stevens called him a big game player....not yet IMO, but his is young and he'll get smarter..

Inuk, just keep thinking- from last place to the Eastern Conference Finals. Its been a good season, and it will be better when we win the next 4

Hey, maybe the Penguins will throw tonight's game like they did the last game of the regular season.
Sit Cindy, Evelyn, Flower,and Sergi, play Beech, Taffe, Sydor, and Conklin.

Steve Downie will never be anything more than a "Darcy Tucker" type player.  Very physical, with some skill, and borderline dirty. Oh yeah, I forgot to add stupid...  He's going to be a great addition to the Flyers.  But as you said, once he smartens up a little.  You can see the kid can play, but he makes so many horrible decisions.  All that being said, he's a young player and he'll be fine.  He's trying to make a name for himself. 

Looks like that's going to have to wait however, the Viking Warrior has been added back into the line-up and I would assume that means Mr. Fabric Softener is in the press box.

Also, word is Coburn might play tonight.  Hopefully he does, hate to see anyone get injured like that, especially to the eye.

Detroit couldn't get it done last night, although the refs helped Dallas big time...  Hopefully the Pens can get it done tonight, I want to do some t-shirt shopping...

1.  I will owe a lunch to two administrative assistants who do not know the difference between a hockey puck and a tennis ball.   All they know is that "Pittsburgh is in it."

2.  One dinner to a guy that only knows what Fox Pitt tells him via Burt and Ernie.

3.  Wearing of one Penguin T-shirt during the first week of my Summer Session class.   Thank goodness this will only be for a total of 8 hrs. 

So...for those who may be celebrating this evening, there may be others who will be feeling some pain.  Cheer them up and pass along well wishes.
