Not sure if Bob's referee reference is even worthy of a response, so I won't touch that.

Looking forward to tonight's game to see how the Orange and Black bounce back. They tend to turn in strong performance's for Laviolette the game after they $hit the bed. They need to apply the same pressure they did for the first 55 minutes, and figure out a way to limit the defensive mistakes and goaltending mishaps. Boucher's horrible angle of that last Mickey Mouse goal was upsetting, but at least we know we can skate with them. Those that have already handed the Cup over to the Blackhawks (every analyst and pole-jumper outside of this city) could be in for a BIG surprise in the next few weeks.

Thank you to those before us that were willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice so that this country can enjoy all of life's liberties and freedoms!!!!


oh, and Barry Melrose, ESPN's yuckmouth and modern day foppish dandy, subsists on a strict diet of Canadien Whiskey and birthday wishes of orphans. Known also as "Master of the Dark Arts", he has his own line of denim condoms that he oversees. He, too, is somehow tied in with the BP Global Solutions disgrace. That said, I think it's time to shave that neck blanket of his and beg the TB Lightning to take him back for another 3 week stint as the shot-caller.

Well...Leighton and the Flyers showed up, that's for sure. No disrespect meant, but I really just think it's the Hawk's year....and I can't believe I am actually saying that. If they can win two games without a point from the Toews and Kane, then they really are on a roll.

Good old fashioned hockey and "physicality" last night...Sure it will be ramped up a few more notches tomorrow night too.

Good to see a real hockey game last night wasn't it? I'm not counting the Flyer's out yet.

I loved the second comment at the end:

'Maybe Pronger will steal the Cup too"

The funny thing is, that my dad (who forgot more about sports than I'll ever know) thinks that the Flyers haven't been outplayed at all this series! I told him that he needs to learn how to watch a hockey game, because that obviously isn't his strong suit.

Even in a 2 game hole, this city will be electric come tomorrow night. For obvious reasons, this game is make or break. If, and that's a BIG if, we can pull out game 3, it's up in the air. We simply need to be play perfect in order to stand a chance.

I'm happy for you Bob, if the Hawks continue on. Either way, it was a great run. The winner will surely have earned it.

Your Dad may not be wrong...certainly in Game 2 the Flyers weren't out played and in 3 of the 4 Sharks game you could make a case that they weren't out played either by the Hawks. But they just keep finding ways to win.

It doesnt matter how you win most of the time, as long a team has one more goal than thier oppenent that is what counts the most. Bob your Hawks are playing some kick @ss hockey and should be commended on it.

To be honest I'd rather have Philly win one there and win the Cup at home.

Also much credit needs to be given to Peter Wirtz who in a second put the Hawks back on regular TV after taking over and 2yrs and months later needs to win 2 out of 4 for a Stanley Cup, the first one in almost 50 years! Do wish his father was still here to see his son do it.

Am I the only one that thinks Philly still has a very good chance to win this thing? The Hawks have found a way to win both games by 1 goal and were barely hanging on in the third period in game 2. Philly was down 3 games and beat Boston. If they can win the next 2 at home I think they have a good shot to still win this. The Hawks are a great team and have done nothing wrong to this point and it would not surprise me if they take the cup, but I am not counting the flyers out yet. The Wachovia/Wells Fargo Center will be rocking and if the Hawks get down early they will find a different environment than at home in Chi town.
