    That's it 9 more wins starting in Montreal on Saturday....

    This team has rallied again and again and not gotten down on themselves at all in the playoffs, its great. And Marty Biron should be the MVP of the playoffs right now, he is single handedly willing the Flyers further and further.

    Let's wrap this series up and get ready for the Pens or Rangers (most likely the Pens). That would be a hell of a series... the team who lost the final game of the season to avoid us, would have to play us to advance to the Cup...... gotta love it.

    Damn nice how it all comes into focus... love to be in that locker room and on that plane tonite....

    And I already have Game 3 tickets... Let's go Flyers!!!!

    not a hockey fan at all but last night at the bar i asked the bartender to change ONE of the tvs to the Phillies.... but i was caught up in Flyers mania.

    good luck to them! PA sports are always intresting! hopefully we'll get a Penns/Flyers Eastern conference final. remember a few years back we almost got a Steelers/Eagles Super Bowl? that woulda been awesome... if it ever happens they should have the game at Penn State. fuck yes.

    212 row 8, hopefully my dad can go and the game makes up for the embarrassment we watched last year when the Pens dismantled the Flyers and we left after the 2nd period. First time either one of us left a game early....

    Congrats. Phantom Pain....just passing along the good words since our early early season (if you remember) war of words back in October (prior to Oilers/Flyer game two of the season....lol)....

    Flyers sure surprised me, but I do need to give credit to a team when they deserve it....the Flyers have looked great, love their style, and gotta like the attitude.

    Hope the best for them against the Penguins.

    I'd check StubHub but yeah tickets are gonna be tough to get. My suggestion is to call the Flyers directly because I bet that they are holding back some tickets for people who become season ticket holders for next season.

    I bought mine at 12:15AM after I got home from the bar Saturday night :D

    I called last night and kept getting Jim Jackson answering :D

    I just called this morning and the guy said the only tickets left are if you put down a deposit on Season Tickets for next year !

    What a rip......I said will any tickets be released closer to the game he said very few if any

    So they have allocated so many tickets for this and people that want to go to the game are shut out basically

    I'd keep checking towards the end of this week and over the weekend. Keep calling because they will have to release those tickets. I'm pretty sure there are not a ton of people rushing to get season tickets for next year and there are bound to be some left before the series comes to Philly.

    They just want people to buy season ticket packages so they get even more money...
    have you tried for the all you can eat packages?? I got a few emails yesterday saying they were available... just a thought

    Inside Hockey: Penguins-Flyers preview
    by KEVIN GREENSTEIN, Inside Hockey

    A look ahead to the Eastern Conference Finals:

    2. Penguins vs. 6. Flyers

    Series Outlook: It's a battle for state supremacy, as the dynamic Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Philadelphia Flyers. Last season, the Penguins were quickly eliminated from the postseason, falling in five games in the first round to the Ottawa Senators. Meanwhile, the Flyers -- perennial contenders prior -- finished with the NHL's worst record and embarked on an aggressive rebuilding effort. So while the Pens have taken a natural step forward in their impressive construction of a Cup contender, the Flyers' meteoric rise back to prominence has been truly remarkable. Regardless of what happens in this series or the Cup Finals, Philadelphia GM Paul Holmgren should be a shoe-in to win Executive of the Year for his stellar work in the Flyers' front office. This will likely go down as the fastest -- and most effective -- rebuilding effort in professional sports history.



    Forwards

    Penguins: Evgeni Malkin was, in a word, magnificent against the New York Rangers in the quarterfinals. An absolute force on the power play, Malkin's laser like shot and ability to bull his way through the Rangers' defense made him the unequivocal difference-maker. If Malkin can continue to play dominating hockey --and if he gets the expected level of support from fellow wunderkind Sidney Crosby -- the Pens should have no trouble generating offense against the Flyers.

    Flyers: It was no secret that the Flyers were going to lean heavily on Daniel Briere in these playoffs, and he's certainly delivered (14 points in 12 games). But the key to the Flyers' success has been their depth of scoring, the contributions they've gotten throughout the lineup from their less-heralded forwards. Most notably, R.J. Umberger has seemingly come out of nowhere to score a team-leading nine goals in 12 games (to go along with a stellar plus-six rating). And with the likes of Vaclav Prospal, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Mike Knuble, and Scottie Upshall all chipping in with timely goals, the Flyers' offense is impressively deep.

    Advantage: Flyers


    Defense

    Penguins: It would be too easy to credit the Pens' second-round win over the Rangers to goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. For while Fleury was quite solid between the pipes, it was Pittsburgh's diligent shot-blocking that was the biggest factor. And the biggest eye-opener of all is that Sergei Gonchar -- known for his entire career as an offensive defenseman -- is leading all Penguins players with 22 blocked shots in these playoffs. Brooks Orpik, Hal Gill, Rob Scuderi, Ryan Whitney and Kris Letang have all demonstrated an unerring willingness to also throw themselves in harm's way, and that, much more than the blue line corps' offensive skill, has been the key to the Pens' defensive success.

    Flyers: Like the Penguins, the Flyers boast a tough-as-nails blue line corps similarly willing to help the cause and dive in front of opponents' shots. From veterans Jason Smith, Kimmo Timonen and Derian Hatcher to youngsters Braydon Coburn, Lasse Kukkonen and Randy Jones, the Flyers' defense is solid from top to bottom. Perhaps the most interesting storyline in this series will be how the Flyers' rearguards match up against Crosby and Malkin, for if the Flyers are to win, they'll need to come up big in containing the Pens' superstar duo.

    Advantage: Even


    Goaltending

    Penguins: Though Fleury didn't need to outplay Henrik Lundqvist to advance to the Conference Finals, he was unquestionably solid between the pipes for the Penguins. He's posted a miserly .938 save percentage and 1.76 goals-against average through the first two rounds, losing only one game in nine tries. Fleury is lightning-fast at moving from post to post, and he'll definitely need to be at his best against the Flyers' fast and physical forwards.

    Flyers: Martin Biron has been excellent in these playoffs, helping the Flyers pull off upsets in the first two rounds. The Pens represent a deadly combination of the Flyers' first two foes, boasting two superstar forwards (Crosby and Malkin) as compared to the Capitals' one (Alexander Ovechkin) and a tic-tac-toe power play at least as dangerous as the Canadiens'. Without question, the Flyers need for the gutsy Biron to steal a game or two; if he doesn't, this will be a short series in the Penguins' favor.

    Advantage: Even

    Advantage: Flyers

    Look, I'm not saying that the Pens are light years beyond the Flyers. I give them all the credit for making it this far. But the fact that this guy says that Philly has the advantage for forwards is a bit of a stretch. He only names Crosby and Malkin while mentioning like 7 of the Flyers forwards. Last I checked, the Pens had some guys named Hossa, Sykora, Malone, and Staal (among others) that have contributed to their success.

    If he had Philly ahead in defense or goaltending it wouldn't have bothered me, but offense? C'mon...

    wow that sucks... actually what sucks is that the team is actually commercializing and facilitating scalping of their tickets on that ticketmarketpalce site.... I bet there will be tons of tickets being "resold" on there this week.

    Funny enough I asked the guy about that "Legalized Scalping"

    He said they are allowed to ask for higher prices and "some" season ticket holders have taken advantage of this

    I said it shouldn't be allowed

    The Eagles have set the same thing up for their 2008 season through Ticketmaster.

    Friday cannot get here soon enough.

    The Eagles have had a deal with RazorGator for the last few years.... most major sports teams are doing it now, so that they can get a cut of the revenue from the secondary market. I understand the need and want of some season ticket holders to sell tickets for games they can't make but they shouldn't be allowed to sell them for above face or at least no more than 10 to 20% above face value.
