    Not a bad game, not a great game.... too many defensive turnovers and inability to clear the puck out. As for the offense, no real sustained pressure in the offensive zone. We hung in there and should have exited the first with a tie but that's what happens when you are a bit careless with the puck.

    As for the officials, just a few complaints, first, they missed a too many men on the ice against the Flyers, they also let the rough against Richards (after the Malkin hit) go, and that early substitution late in the game was weak.. looked like a normal line change.. all in all not a badly officiated game, I expected worse.

    Flyers have to have a better forecheck and have a larger presence in the offensive zone. The Pens are definitely beatable and their goalie is not as great as he has seemed earlier in the playoffs... if Umby goes five hole instead of high, he has a goal and a 4-3 defecit.

    marty made a terrible play trying to clear the puck... other than that his only other fault was cheating shortside against Malkin, which I don't think will happen again.

    This team is hell in Game 1's !

    Sloppy,Sloppy play

    I don't think we made more than 1 pass tape-to-tape all game

    I'm sure we'll see a better effort in Game 2

    He always plays mediocre to bad in Game 1 for some reason

    The other 2 series were the same way

    He'll bounce back

    I missed the two line pass on Malkin's 2nd goal. He was totally out of the play. Also, Biron stay in your crease and don't play the puck!!

    Richards buried him near the back of the net

    Malkin got up and stayed at our blue line

    Marty is no Hextall with the stick is he ?

    They don't call 2 line passes anymore, if that's what you mean.

    I think they stopped that last year.
    Lucky positioning on Malkin. He was real slow getting outta the zone after getting plastered.

    Is this kid this good ???


    Claude Giroux was named MVP of the playoffs, having put up (an Olympique record) 51 points in 19 games. He finished with 17 goals, 34 assists, and a +33 rating. He put up 1 goal, 2 assists, and a +2 rating in the Cup-clinching game.

    He will now compete in the Memorial Cup, hosted by Kitchener.

    Can you imagine if the 2 line pass wasn't there in the Gretzky era ??

    92 was his highest, so if there wasn't 2 line pass in his era im sure he woulda had 100 goals without a doubt.

    Tough game... played alot better than Game 1 but losing Coburn was a bad break. They can play with the Pens and I expect their best effort on Tues, if not, then its over. Hopefully, they can build off the solid performance last night and correct the mistakes. As for penalty calls, I won't mention the inconsistency but as Stevens said, all you want is consistency, and we have star players as well. We did get a break on the no goal but given the circumstances it was the right call.

    Lastly, I love everyone blaming Downie for the last goal and yes he didn't clear the zone but he was back where he was supposed to be in defensive position (following Roberts in the corner). It was Hatcher who overcommited to Roberts behind the net and left Talbot wide open in front. And the Flyers need to generate more offensive chances and not settle for one shot and done.

    The Hatcher penalty was pathetic, he didn't hold or hook on the play
