Exactly, the Flyers have played MUCH better opponents throughout the playoffs and only had to play 3 more games.
Also during the regular season the Flyers scored more goals than the Pens, I think only 1 more but that is without a 50 goal man in Gagne. Not to mention the rediculous lines from John Stevens which make Pat Quinn seem like a genious hahaha.
For the loon that thinks i hate crosby because he is talented I dont, i really do respect his game for his ability to shoot the puck and create some amazing plays. fact of the matter thought is he is a disgrace to the sport. Its players who dive or get absolutely fake penalties called against them that ruin the integrity of the sport. how is a sport supposed to survive and grow when their is clear preferential treatment? Crosby is not the only one though, Forsberg was notorious for flopping around like a bitch to draw penalties so don't think its some homer rant because I booed Peter as well even when he was a Flyer.
If the refs call the games properly and don't let the theatrics from Crosby or Upshall cause bullshit powerplays this series can be a real war. If they go whistle happy than these games will quickly progress into soccer matches were everyone goes down from anyone even leaning near them.
The Pens have a great youth core and should be contenders for a while, but like always once that core is gone, they will bottom feed for 5 years in order to put out their amazing product again. 9/10 pens fans nowadays are bandwagoners, it seems like we have some actual fans on Sherdog and for that I commend you guys.
Looking forward to a great series, if we win I'm happy, if we lose, I'm still happy cuz Detroit is taking the cup in 4 no matter which team they play. This series will give birth to a severely injured team.
This is going to be my final post on the preseries, and i will just be commenting on games from here on in
