Shorthanded

They didn't play all that badly, except maybe for the last ten minutes when the fact that they're not quite as good started to catch up with them. They're just getting outplayed, really, and, well, I don't know. Game 3 is here on Tuesday, and all they can do is try to turn it into a series. People have been throwing around the word "resilient" a lot lately, but this really is a pretty resilient team. They'll keep playing until the league tells them to stop. Go get 'em, guys.

GO FLYERS!!!

We're not down

You know how I know that Pittsburgh sucks? Because after Mike Richards' fantastic shorthanded goal, they played "Don't Get Me Down" by ELO. And if there's one thing I simply cannot stand, it's "Don't Get Me Down" by ELO. I freaking hate that band and I really, really freaking hate that song.

I had to run upstairs and put on "Atlas" to cleanse it from my brain.

Anyway: the Flyers look okay. They've been great on the 5-0n-5, and, really, if they can just knock it off with the penalties I think we're on to something.

Should be a great third period.

Flyers/Pens Game 2, first intermission. Yeah, I don't know. The Flyers don't really look like they're putting anything together, they're kind of just chasing the Penguins around the ice. They've lost Braydon Coburn, who took a puck right in his eye or forehead or something, it was pretty grotesque. The Flyers' power play was one of the worst I've ever seen - out of two minutes they were in the Pens' zone for like, what? Ten seconds? No good.

Still, they're only down 1-0, and I think they got a little lucky with that No Goal that was reviewed (looked good to me)... better to be lucky than good, I guess. Keep up the luck part if you can, guys.

GO FLYERS!!!
