The Penguins have the “dirtiest player in the series” yet the Flyers deliver cheap shots after every whistle. That Matt Read chop on Brassy last night was just pure class right? The Flyers have the dirtiest player in the series but he’s injured and not likely to come back.

That Crosby goal summarizes what the flyers have been this series. We dump the puck, its a 2v4 in their favor and they still can't come out with the puck.

It seems like Ghost is playing versus a minor team, he's just so casual about having sidney crosby fighting for the puck there with him, wtf.

Filppula is skating there because Coots is making the trip. I doubt that is a line they would actually use in the game.

But they mailed in last game, it was a disgrace. Nolan Patrick and Provorov were the only players who had decent games.

I didn't expect the Flyers to win this series. But last night, they didn't even compete. The Pens could have had 8-9 goals, they just toyed with them.

Good luck vs. Columbus.

I would of been completely disgusted if it was the Pens playing like that in the postseason. Pens played like that some nights in the regular season but I didn't get my back as much as others because it was regular season.

I dont like the talk of this series already being over, because its not. We've seen 3-1 series leads get abolished and end up losing series before. Sports and momentum are crazy tandem and if they win the next game its back in Philly with them feeling good again.

This isnt over.

From DK's site: “Yeah, I’m good,” Murray told reporters afterward.

I think that as long as no one our team gets into a stupid fight with Gudas and Gudas shushes our crowd after getting his face bashed in, we should be fine. Might drop another one but I don’t see this going to 7.

Dude, seriously, shut the (frank) up. This isn't the 1970s Flyers, or even the 2012 Flyers. This team is passive as (frank), and the Pens have the dirtiest player in the series (but he's hurt). They're not going to go out and hurt people, because if that was the case, they would have done it late in games 1 or 5 when they were getting blown out. I hope they come out with more fire than they had last game, but I seriously doubt they run around trying to legitimately injure people. Hurt, yes, injure, no.

Also, can you please show where you heard that slogan in bold? I've never heard a Flyers fan say that, but will be glad to eat my words if you can show me.

Seriously agreed and I even said that last nicht. This Flyers team is not even in the same realm of the “typical” goon hockey of the past.

Very passive team.

Did you really just say Coots is the dirtiest player in the series????

did you guys say Horny is the dirtiest player in the series? maybe dirtiest if by dirtiest you mean the one with the most bruises cuz he gets beat up more than the cow bodies in rocky.

No, Matt Read should have gotten a penalty. It was a poop play.

That doesn't change the fact that Hornqvist was by far the dirtiest player in games 1-3.

Even super fan boy Ryan Wilson said the same thing about Hornqvist. He's been running around leading with his elbows on every hit, he has thrown "accidental" high sticks in scrums to at least 3 players (Laughton, Patrick, Voracek), and loves little rabbit punches when no one's looking.

I'm not saying the Flyers are losing because of the refs. Doesn't change the fact that Hornqvist is a dirty mother (frank)er slightly above the Scott Hartnell level. Second dirtiest player in the series is probably Matt Read, which is just weird to me.

I agree, Konecnys been dirtier

Did you watch the last game? They went through the motions and had zero urgency.

I love the Flyers, but this series ended last night.

I actually don't call him dirty. He reminds me of how Kunitz played, actually, and this board has told me time and time again that Chris Kunitz was a saint who never did anything wrong.

I mean I don't really blame the guy. guy has been beaten to a pulp every single game for years. same with sid. not easy to get beaten alot every day and not feel like others deserv the same sometimes (in hockey that is).

Well I thought this

"accidental" high sticks in scrums to at least 3 players (Laughton, Patrick, Voracek), and loves little rabbit punches when no one's looking.

pretty much summed him up this series.

I'm so glad I got my boys from the Flyers thread participating now! So proud of them!

Who has Konecny "accidentally" high sticked and thrown rabbit punches at?

Konecny is pretty blatant about his stuff which is why he gets called. That doesn't do the Flyers any favors. Hornqvist is playing like James Neal.

Again, this has nothing to do with the Flyers trailing in the series. But to say that Hornqvist isn't an extremely dirty player is just blind loyalty.
