Wow, who knew that if MAF could put up 40 minutes of scoreless hockey, the Pens might actually win a game?

That's what happens when you scratch that fraud ass Paul Martin.

Totally.  Despres is better already.  Strait might even be better already.

It's going 6 for sure. At that point all the pressure will be on the Flyers to end it at home.

I'd say 50/50 that we'll see a game 7.

I'm just hoping Bernie can handle the 55 extra minutes of action.

Rather than Bernie, the phlys should go "Weekend at Bernie's" and prop Pelle Lindberg's corpse up in net.

I'm not so sure, especially given the fact that the Pens are something like 1-5 in the playoffs at Consol Energy [yawn] Center and that Fleury was doing everything in his power to play like a dog last night.  But sweet Lord baby Jesus, I hope you are right.

I just don't see a playoff team losing 3 straight at home. Same goes for the Canucks, unless they put Luongo back in.

Lots of tough calls for game 5.  Obviously we will insert Neal and Adams back into the lineup, but after that much is unclear:

Do we stick with Fleury?  Yes. But he is pulled after the 4th goal.

Do we go back to Martin?  Hell no.  If not, will it be Depres, Strait, or Lovejoy that fills his spot?  Depres

Should we continue double shifting Malkin and Crosby?  Yes  Do we play them together? Yes  How do we reconcile this with Neal coming back into the lineup?  Malkin-Crosby-Kunitz, Cooke-Staal-Kennedy, Neal-Malkin-Tangradi, Sullivan-Crosby-Dupuis, ...spelled with Adams, Vitale.

I would like to see Tangradi dress again tomorrow night.

Effing sweet.  Great game by the flower, great game all around.  I still can't help but wonder though, maybe the Canucks would have given us Corey Schneider for Paul Martin.
