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

the reverse scenario in 2000 and the flyers of course came back to win. this series is far from over, but the pens have to be seriously demoralized right now.

Ali vs Foreman rope a dope it's the only thing I can think of right now that happened in reality.
- JoeRussomanno

I was thinking the same thing.
Only one would think nobody would have the balls to employ that strategy other than Ali.

The Flyers are in their heads, the pens just can't solve the problem called THE FLYERS. Look when Brooks said before the series that e Flyers were afraid you knew that the Flyers were in his head, if you truly believe that you never need to say it. Then Crosby said after game one that what the Flyers did wasn't a surprise, he also knows it.

With that being said the boys need to come out on Sunday and score and never let up.

What a game by the Coburn and Grossman pairing.
- bradleyc4


Great pair. Grossmann is a monster. Coburn is a beast.

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

If they eliminate these bad first periods, oh my oh my they are gonna be a helluva team.

OK boys....I'm back. What a game. Who can tell me the last time the Flyers had two hat tricks on one game.

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

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.
- stveshdy


without question. that was my toyota turning point.

YEa it ain't like the Pens came back to win after multi goal deficits in those games either. At least I don't remember that being the case.

It seems if Rinaldo cannot avoid penalties, whether his game is being officiated fairly or not, Laviolette is not putting him on the ice only 4:18 tonight. What is the consensus, keep him in the lineup, or get Harry Z in there?

If Rinaldo is out there is a better choice then Harry Z.

I love Rinaldo's game and what he brings, but the refs are all over him no breaks. So I think Harry Z gets a call up. They need to roll 4 lines.

It's hard to figure Bryz tonight. He played well enough to win, and made some amazing saves, as well as timely saves, but he also allowed one very soft goal. I guess I would give his performance in the series thus far a solid B. He doesn't have a good save %, but that can be skewed. He's faced a ton of quality chances. I would say he's given up two soft goals in this series thus far.
