I just wanted to take a brief moment to say

Let's Go Pens!

EDIT:
9:19PM Glad to see the press has found an excuse for why the Flyers are losing. It's all because Timonen is out

Pens > Flyers 4-2

[progmetaldan]

I go for the Flyers, mostly because that's who I used playing computer games and Jeremy Roenick was awesome...

We get less than nothing of the NHL here in Aus, who's still left in the playoffs atm?

Timonen is by far their best defenseman, and things would have been a little harder to deal with in the Flyer's zone with him there. When I heard that he was out, I was doubtful of a win.

I only got to see the last period, but it seems that the penguins are relentless in their play, with no real lulls. That makes for a tough game.

Flyers fought hard, but they weren't as dirty as usual IMO (I did however miss the third period so who knows). I'd suggest the flyers go back to their Bobby Clark hockey, regardless of whether I (and probably technomancer ) hates it or not, if they want to win...

Btw, I don't get all this talk about how lots of people are figuring that Malkin is a better player then Crosby these days. People look at stats way too much. Whoopydoo Malkin can shoot, I still think Crosby's a better player then him and would much rather have an incredible playmaker on my team then a guy like Malkin IMO.

Hehe and the Pens were a bit sluggish and turning the puck over a lot more than usual last night

Thing is if the flyers go dirty, they take a lot of penalties (assuming the refs don't suck). A lot of penalties = pwned on the power play Honestly I was pissed last night that those two blatant high sticks didn't get called. Other than that the officiating was pretty good except for the bullshit hold call on Orpik... and that was only a bullshit call because if they were going to call that a hold the Flyers should have been shorthanded roughly four times for the exact same thing.

As far as Malkin goes, he IS an amazing play maker. I don't think he's as good as Crosby, but he's not terribly far from Sid's level either. Personally I'm glad to hear him start getting some credit in the press outside of Pittsburgh as the national media made it sound like we were the Crosby show and that was it, which was REALLY annoying.

So what was up with the Dallas player who hit Detroit's goaltender in the face with his stick? All I caught was a replay at the bar with no sound

That's a fucking GOAL!! It better be overturned!!

It wasn't as bad as it first seemed. Mike Ribeiro was coming down on who I think was Lidstrom and Osgood stuck out his stick to slow him down in turn catching with a butt-end in the cheek area. When he two handed him he caught im in the chest. I don't think there will be any suspensions.

Hopefully 'cause Osgood deserved a best actor Oscar on that performance. He's the one that hit Ribero first, stucking his stick out in his face. Then Ribero hit him on his chest (protector). That's gotta hurt, hmm?
