Hatcher should know better than to wake up a dopey opponent.

Wininng 3-0, and cruising Hatcher takes a selfish penalty that changes the complexion of the game.

Reminds me of Sean Avery. He scored the Rangers' third goal Friday night in Game 1 and proceeded to run smack at the Pens bench. Bad move. The Pens scored 2 goals in 14 seconds, then 2 more in 20 seconds in the third period.

Halak replaces Price to start the third period.

MENSA will not be beckoning Slewfoot Downie any time in the near future.

Haven't we seen enough of the cliched faux goonery in these NHL Playoffs? Avery's Safety Dance on Brodeur; Jarko Ruutu's twig in Roszival's grille. Kostopolus' mitt to Timonen's face. Its enough.


@ 2:01 of the 1st period, Downie kicked Carey Price's skates out from underneath him as the Montreal goalie played the puck in his own end.


Gutless, punk play, to say nothing of dangerous and careless.

Consider the source.

What the Hell happened to the vaunted Montreal Powerplay?

Both PP units are searching for answers three games in to tense series.

The Flyers killed off the Montreal 5 on 3. Not a good thing for a struggling PP.
