What a game!!!!!!!!!

Pittsburgh may have Crosby and Malkin, but last night it seemed to be all about a bunch of guys who won world championships with the Canadian juniors.
At the forefront, Richards and Carter dominated the game. Their fierce will to win seemed to be contagious. Lupul and Upshall played with reckless abandon. Even though he is rookie call-up replacing another Canadian junior defensive star, Ryan Parent played a key role on the Flyers defense.
In the long run the Penguins will probably win the series, but the gritty Flyers proved that they will be a force for years to come.
It was one of the best games I’ve seen in a while.

Is was quite a game.
The Flyers came out and really did surprise everyone. You don’t get to the Conference Finals without deserving to be there, and that is true of all four teams who have made it this far. However the Flyers have a steep uphill climb. The Penguins have yet to lose on home ice this playoffs. I think the series ends Sunday.
Agreed that is was one of the best games I’ve watched in a long while even though my team lost. I’m just a fan of the game and it was exciting like few games ever are.

Aint over
till it’s over. The Flyers, I think, can pull off this miracle. They have the will and fight in them and the Pens are to cocky at times to realize what is happening.
