To summarize:

The only reason the Flyers won is Brian Elliott and Matt Murray. Fantastic blog.

Did you even watch the play? Giroux was tied up with another Pens player and Letang ran into his back. Giroux was just as surprised as Letang. He even went over to see if Letang was okay!
But you just keep wearing your black and yellow glasses!

Hahaha wow look at the Flyers fans out in force.

Do you guys think you played better than the Pens last night? Do you have any idea the history of Wes McCauley with the Pens?... If you don't do some googling. It's actually nuts when you look into it. Do you think Crosby misses both those chances and not at least bury one any other night?

I'm way to experienced with the playoffs and losing games being down in a series and what have you to care that much about last night. Just like I didn't care that much about winning 7-0 the first game. It wasn't a must win game for the Pens last night, not even close.

Murray let in softies and Pens missed glorious chances. Elliot was very strong. Moving on.

and of course he braces for contact, who wouldnt in that situation? forming your opinion off of slow motion is also pretty stupid, like when looking at a catch in football.

What a disgrace it was to see all those philly fans in Pittsburgh littering the ice yet again with their garbage.

Its like... you are mentally challenged. There are many replays showing him looking before contact, and then throwing himself into him, with an elbow attempt as well.

He got away with no minor call, now grow up and stop pretending anything that may be for the Pens favor is a sham to the hockey world. You're becoming as insufferable and embarrassing as the Leafs fans here.

I can't remember walking away from a Pens loss actually being happy with their play in the past few months, but this game they played well and just didn't go their way.

The Pens were highly unlikely going to sweep 8 out of 8 games against the Flyers (reg season and playoffs). After last nights game I see absolutely no concern from the Pens perspective.

It was as honest as Horny falling into the boards on that cross check late in the game

It seemed like he looked in the direction he was pushed. Definitely wasn’t dirty, it it was unavoidable in my opinion. Pretty funny people expect him to be the one to get out of the way after being pushed into letang.

I believe the Pens are a better team. They won the cup 2 years in a row for a reason.

I dont believe they are 7 goals better than the Flyers just like I don't believe the Flyers are 4 goals better.

Both teams got lucky , Pens on a few goals first game and the Flyers on a few tonight.

To,me that is just playoff hockey..

As for the Giroux and Letang sequence if you watch anything in slow motion you can probably find something dirty. At normal speed though i just don't see it as a dirty play. If you are gonna complain about that hit make sure you point out Hornqvist hitting Patrick in the head 2x while on the ice.

I don't feel like the refs were great..Provorov should been called early on and Malkin should have gone off with Simmonds

poor sid's attempt to push giroux into couturier didnt go so well. in real times its unavoidable contact. was there more force than needed to be? probably. but if the tables were turned a penguins player would be doing the exact same thing. get over it.

Didn't say he could avoid it... if he could, hes better than Crosby. But stop pretending he didn't give himself a launch into him instead of ducking or trying to lessen the contact. He did exactly what you would expect Sid to do, and your side would be just as pissy if Ghost got hammered in the same manner.

Curious as to what ducking would have done besides maybe cause a lot of potential harm to giroux. He braced for the contact that was coming.

First, I didn't see any whining in the blog. Ryan did mention how Hornquist was out of control. No one said that the CG/Letang contact was dirty, just that Giroux threw himself a little harder into Letang....and, he did. No big deal...I don't think that the intent was to injure. Hurt? Yes. Injure? No.

Ducking... so putting his ass as the main point of contact, thus resulting in a hip check that would put zero danger to either player's head. If you do not understand what a hip check is, please get out.

ask yourself one easy to answer question regarding the Letang-Giroux collision. If the shoe was on the other foot? would Letang let up? .......I didn't think so.
