Great game last night... Loved the tempo of the game.. Looked like the Pens brought their A game and the Flyers were out to lunch. The Flyers are a better team and will come up with a better plan for Fri. Matt Murray definately was spot on with his goal tending.. And hey, the haters are gonna hate when it comes to Crosby... but your only kidding yourself if you don't think he's one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of skates... And how but that puck splitting in half ?? Good Luck tonight Columbus..

Didn’t think they would recover from that rout the other night....also it was the first time the Pens didn’t score at least 5 goals against the flyers this year. Good game by the flyers but it is still an uphill battle for them against a team like that.

I figured the Pens/Flyers series would go at least 6. Rivalries can go either way.

Well the Pens won another one... Or should I say STOLE another one.. The final score doesn't really paint a blow out.. Philly definately outplayed them in the first period. Murray definately was the deciding factor in this game...

Philly was by far the better team in the first but I felt the Pens controlled play in periods 2&3. Sid got going and the Flyers had no answer.
Well, by Philly winning a game, it ensured my wife and her sister will be at game 5 friday night in Pittsburgh

Well if they can win again on Wed. she might get to see them close out the series... But that might be a big if, cause Philly will come back strong Wed... Hopefully they played their (Philly) best game Sun. and are running out of gas.. On the other hand Columbus is getting the best of Washington...

I agree 110 %... And yes that is uncalled for....Totally being like a child on Sids part, but hitting someone from behind where an an injury could occur is uncalled for... We'll both agree the players try to get under each others skin... But cheap shots are uncalled for either by the Penquins or Flyers or anyone else... Play the game rough and aggressive but leave the cheap stuff off the ice....

I’m only breaking your chops...I actually thought both were funny. I played in an adult hockey league for years....guys who were in their 20’s and 30’s were quite “chippy”....thinking that they were playing for the Stanley cup....but when we hit our 40’s, we didn’t care who won, we just wanted to play hockey.

Been a long time Pens fans, but I must admit that I almost get a bigger joy out of Ovechkin and the Caps getting bounced by the 2nd round as I do the Pens winning the cup.
