Hawks pulled it off again, 2-1 was the score. No score
till toward the end of the second period.

Sharp got a penalty in the 3rd causing philly to score a
power play goal, but that's all she wrote, hawks hung on
to win their second game.

Toews,kane and byfuglen have to figure out how to be effective,
they are not producing much at all, but it seems that leaves the
others lines more open to get things done.

Back to philly now, and even though it seems like hawks
have it in the bag, the next game is the 'big' one, either
philly will be back in the tourney, or facing elimination.

Marion Hossa is playing awsome.

GO HAWKS GO

the Hawks are HOT on the road.. they seem to know how to get the road win.

I see them easily winning at least 1.. maybe even 2 but I want them to win it at home...

I think philly will win one at home, maybe even both, as,
if you go thru both 1st and 2nd games, they were close,
either team could have won, only the last period of the
first game was lopsided, at least that's the way I saw it.

score is all that matters...

there has be a score, the game has to end,
there has to be an answer, there has to be a winner and
a loser, but it 'isn't' all that matters in the whole
scheme of things, all of these teams are so close, that
the difference between any of them is miniscule, but we
see a score of 2-1, and we are screaming about the winner,
when the 'loser' is a nano second behind, they battle and
sweat and give their all, and the team with 2 is considered
better, and we call the team with 1 a loser, in real life
that sucks, but it is how us humans judge each other.

GO HAWKS GO (there is no loser, just a team with less points)

i'm being real sappy tonight, it's after midnight, maybe
I should be sleeping.

what an excellent hockey game, exciting from start to finish, very close the whole way, and it was anybody's
game, and philly won it in overtime, so now 'they' are in
this tournament, next game is 'key', very important for
both teams, this game tonight was crucial for philly.

I was flipping back and forth between the game and a documentary on the the Flyers during their heyday in the early '70's. Man, the memories from that day. They were an awesome force winning back to back cups in 1973 and 1974. They crucified the Russians so bad during that series in 1976 that the Russians left the ice and threatened to go home...haha. I believe Dave Shulz' penalty record still stands today. Players like Bobby Clarke, Rick McLeish, Bill Barber, Bob Kelly and others who left a trail of bodies in their wake as they tore up the National Hockey League on their way to victory. They had that rare combination of brute force and exceptional talent. Can they possibly bring that glory back to Philadelphia again?

This series has been really fun hockey to watch, in my opinion more fun than the Olympic tournament was. League play, and especially the playoffs, introduces an intensity that the international play never seems to reach. Stuff like Pronger taking the game pucks and "throwing them in the garbage" creates an air of animosity that only adds to the flavour. Its hard for an incident to carry some emotion into the next contest, when its weeks or months away rather than in a couple nights.

These are some great skating and hitting teams, with a lot of skill and great goaltending. It may not be a dream match-up for most people but its great for fans of the game.

Man that was an exciting game! I simply couldn't help cheering for the Flyers when they kept coming back and scoring another goal. They gave as much as they took. Flyers win in OT and now they are back in the series again. Way to go Philly.

The HOSSA curse strikes again!

I love it when a-holes make bold predictions.

Man this is an exciting game. The Flyers aren't rollin' over yet Hawks fans. I no longer care who wins or loses, I am just enjoying some really great hockey and giving credit where it is due. Flyers up 3 - 1 at end of the first period.

Oh, oh sportsfans, I think Philly just iced the cake on this game and made sure that the topic prediction is not going to come true. With a score of 4 - 1 and still looking fast and steady, the Flyers are really working well.

If anything lost this game for the Hawks, it was their lack of discipline leading to really stupid penalties. They should be really thankful that Niemi was able to stop as many as he did or this score would be much higher.

Well, the Hawks had a golden opportunity to up the score when the Flyers took two dumb penalties and gave them a five on one advantage. They managed one but weren't able to hold the Flyers off to get another.

4-2 Flyers with four minutes left in the third.

OOPS! That should have been a 'five on three' not five on one....my bad.

Ooooh, I may have written too soon. The Hawks just got another goal. Score 4 - 2 for the Flyers.

Wish I had an edit button. 4 - 3 for the Flyers, sorry.

Empty net goal by Carter and the Flyers have evened the series.

5 - 3 for the Flyers.

This game was definitely in flyers favour almost all night, then when it was 4-1, I had to go to the
store, and when I arrived back it was 4-3, I missed those two goals, then watched remainder of game.

WoW, this is such a great series, can't wait for sundays game now.

There is no such thing as a Hossa curse, he is playing awsome, if they
win the series or not, he is there for a long time.

GO HAWKS GO

I am really hoping that the Flyers can take this level of energy back to Chicago, tallola and give us more exciting play-off hockey. Has been pretty darn good so far.
