it's hard to fathom how the games keep unfolding the same way. the pens just come out with their balls on fire but just can't sustain it. the flyers have a lot of talent on their roster, too.

I've never seen anything like it. It's unfathomable. The Pens come out hard, and the Flyers are just standing around watching. Then in the last 2 periods they take over the game.

It's always great when a game is wildly entertaining. Especially when your team wins. The most positive sign. When the Flyers got the lead, they were able to shut Pittsburgh down. The Pens haven't show any sign of being able to do the same to the Flyers.

fortunately for them, they only had to lock it down for about 10 minutes.

Giroux with 6 points

Couturier with a Hatty in his second playoff appearance.

Jagr and Talbot score on their former team.

You can't write this stuff.

True, but I'm far more confident that the Flyers can do it then if I was a Pens fan.

I don't know if there's much they can do. The Pens even though they are down 2-0 in this series are firing on all cylinders and they are an offensive juggernaut.
- JoeRussomanno


Possibly Joe. Maybe this is just a style the coaching staff believes will work against Pittsburgh, and through 2 games, you can't quibble with the results.

the pens kept getting the lead, and my gut at the end of the 3rd was that the pens would find a way to win. certainly when they scored 1 minute into the period. when cooter tied it at 5, i changed my mind.

but the script is crazy. what a fun game to watch. even if the flyers had lost tonight, i wouldn't have been that pissed, which is saying something for me.

Loved how the Flyers dominated play from the 2nd period on, how can Lavi get them to do that from the drop???

Looking forward to Sunday! I will be there with bells on!!! Where's the buzzgate???

I don't think Lovejoy will see the ice again in this series. He played as bad a game as I have ever seen a dman play in the playoffs.

Yeah, it's frustrating to watch for us. I know the series isn't over, but it ain't lookin' good.

Bylsma needs to make some strategic changes. He can't keep playing this way.

Oh not for us, though.

In the last goal that Couter scored, what was Fleury doing so far across to Roo's side so early?

The save on Letang is the game changer. The Pens score there they would of been up 3-0 and the Flyers would of needed another miracle to come back again from three down. That save was unreal and changed the game.

The Flyers just need to get their gloves up in the first round. Eventually too many early haymakers will put them on the canvas.
