Pens and Flyers last night.
This is one of the best fights that I have seen this year. Of course there is another act of thuggery perpetrated by a Philadelphia Flyer's hack. Watch Ben Eager hit Penguins tough guy George Laraque with a high dirty elbow, this leads to big George punching Eagers, while he is down on the ice, obvious penalty, however, when there is no penalty for Eager, Gary Roberts steps up takes things into his own hands and shows some leadership. This is a good fight and Roberts beats the living crap out of Ben Eagers. Wow...
Here is the first under card the of this game Ryan Whitney vs Jeff Carter and Colby Armstrong vs Scott Hartnel... Oh man what a good game. My only comments for the Whitney and Carter fight is that when your opponent hits the ground there shouldn't be any more punches throw, the fight is over.
Also former SCSU Huskie Ryan Malone gets into a pretty good scrap with Jason Smith
Oh yeah the Flyers won the game 8-2.

Gator's fight with Malone was pretty cool. I hate the Oilers for ditching him and sending him to Crapadelphia
ReplyDeleteAnywho, I'm not so sure CC is uncatchable, the BADgers were in a similar spot a few years ago, and they ended up slipping, we'll have to see what happens after Christmas
The Flyers raced out to a 3-0 lead after the first period, and had to hang on for a 4-2 win as the Penguins turned up the heat in the final stanza. Joffrey Lupul tallied a pair of goals, while Scotty Hartnell added three assists for the Flyers, who were outshot 38-34 in the contest. Martin Biron had his best game of the series with a 36-save performance, but the key to the game may have been the decision to put Mike Richards on a line with the struggling Daniel Briere, who managed to score one of Philadelphia's two power-play goals.
ReplyDeleteJordan Staal scored both of the Pittsburgh goals, with assists going to Maxime Talbot and Tyler Kennedy each time. But the Penguins' big trio of Sidney Crosby, Marian Hossa and Evgeni Malkin were kept under wraps by the Flyers, and Crosby in particular was frustrated by Philadelphia's rough tactics, as evidenced by an end-of-game scrum with Richards. Marc-Andre Fleury made 30 saves for the Penguins.
