you must be watching different games than me. flyers struggled getting the puck out of their zone for half the game last night.

and the other half, Chicago struggled with it. it's been a very even series with one team dominating play for a bit, than the other team taking over. at least that's my take on it.

Agree 100% percent big momentum shifts each way.

the series has been pretty even but i think chicago has been the better team. if the flyers goalies didn't let up soft goals they could be up in the series. but, they have, as they always seem to do in the playoffs

game 1 was a mess on both sides
game 2 was domination by chicago until a 3rd period run by the flyers
game 3 was pretty even

Politician wants Penguins fans to support Flyers Cup run
By Sean Leahy

Every spring during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, local politicians from opposing cities are known to make silly wagers with each other, with the payoff typically local cuisine. That's pretty much the standard as far as the involvement of politicians in the playoffs: Ride the back of the team's success to get some face time on TV by showing your support.

But in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, one city councilman is standing by himself with an initiative he introduced this week for the Stanley Cup Finals.

On Tuesday Councilman Matt Drozd introduced a proclamation asking for statewide support of the Philadelphia Flyers as they vie for the Cup against the Chicago Blackhawks.

What major city is right smack in the middle of Allegheny County?

That's right: Pittsburgh, home of the rival Penguins.

Despite the location of his district, Drozd is trying to drum up interest among the Pittsburgh faithful to support the Flyers, believing that the revenues generated by a third Flyers Cup would result in lower taxes for not only his constituents in Allegheny County, but across the entire state.

Drozd explained his thought process to the Tribune-Review:

"People gotta look beyond here," he said. "This is an opportunity to cut taxes and bring in revenue. It's my job to cut taxes, and how do you cut taxes? You bring in revenue."

By his calculations, a Flyers victory would draw visitors, which equals money for the state -- and, by extension, he says, the county. The choice is obvious, even for a die-hard Pittsburgh sports fan as Drozd.

"When the Penguins lost, all the air went out of the sails (for fans). But this is a no-brainer," Drozd said. "Why would we want to see that revenue go somewhere else?"

Drozd, an admitted Penguins fan, told local radio station 93.7 The Fan this week that "when" Sidney Crosby(notes) and company are back in the Stanley Cup Finals next year, he'd expect Philadelphia fans to reciprocate the support.

Perhaps he's never been inside Wachovia Center for a Flyers-Penguins game?

It's a bold move by Drozd, but trying to dictate the rooting interests of sports team, especially rivals, no matter what the goal is, is a sure-fire way to fail. It was bad enough when Penguins fans were trying to decide whether or not to support the Flyers or root for Marian Hossa(notes); they don't need a politician to try and sway their feelings.




Best part is when he says about Flyers fans rooting for the Penguins next year

I sure wasn't rooting for the Penguins the last couple years. I wasn't rooting for the Red Wings either, actually.

not sure about you guys, but my ass hole got pretty tight during those last 4 minutes.

a buddy is already working on tix for game 6

amazing

it seemed over at 4-1...

not quite sure i understand the time out.

seemed like once chicago had the power plays in the 3rd, they just took over. then again, philly stopped attacking and were playing ice and chase. tough to do that for long periods.

i'll take two more any why they can get em.

actually, i knew they were in trouble when the showed some guy with a Lindros jersey. bad mojo

I actually like the time out. the flyers get a goal on that PP and the game was over. laviolette just wanted to make sure his best guys were rested and focused.

the PP was pretty shitty tonight

fucking leino has been out of his mind
