    I don't think the Flyers cheapshot any more than any other team in the NHL. They are a physical team, and we Flyers fans like hard hitting. If your girlie team can't handle that, wipe your tears and cheer for a ping pong team. :p

    From ESPN/NHL site:
    The series turned testy in Game 2 when Tom Kostopoulos threw a blindside punch at Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen. Stevens called the punch "cheap" and Richards labeled it "gutless."

    Carbonneau said Timonen deserved the hit because he smirked at the Canadiens after a Flyers goal.

    The first blows in this one came late in the first period, when Flyers forward Steve Downie tripped Price, who had strayed out from the crease, from behind with his stick. Downie was briefly pinned against the boards by two Canadiens and soon players from both teams came flying down to the corner and got involved in the skirmish.
    "Pinned" in this case means held against the boards and pummelled by gloved fists.

    If that were true then the Flyers would not have gotten the suspensions they did this season, and Bobby Clarke would not have made light of the situation.

    Yo Spex you pick one call that was so easy to make that a blind man sitting in the upper deck listening to the game could make that call. And I still remember that your big bad bully Schultz from the 70's would not take on Jim Schoenfeld because he only went after people that were smaller then himself until he met Clark Gillies who treated him like a rag doll and just pounded him.

    Are you implying that no other teams had players suspended this season?

    This year's Flyers are not the Broad Street Bullies of the 70's. Stop living in the past.

    I can remember plenty of fights between Schultz and other "enforcers" - Terry O'Reilly, Stan Jonathon, etc. I don't remember him avoiding a fight with anyone.

    My problem is with philly fans.
    Cheering for injurys?????
    Such Class.

    This has been going on in Philly for years in all sports.
    What if Richard Zednick had his throat cut in Philly?
    He probably would not have made it to the hospital in time.

    Hereis a classy example:

    I was watching that game and it was a nasty cut had a hard time watching it a second time when the blood just spurted out, made me cringe now just thinking of it. Spex I wasn't living in the past just giving you a history lesson like labrat did. ;)

    Not in the way that the Flyers did. In the first two weeks of the season, two of its players got 20 game suspensions.

    And both for the same kind of hit with a clear intent to injur.

    (although I will continue to gripe about Pronger only getting a 7 game for a clear intent to injur with that stomp move in the last weeks of the season)

    I am a Pronger fan, but do not get how the NHL could only give him 7. Simon got 25. They should have given him 8 (rest of the season) plus first round of the playoffs. Yes that is only 15 games tops, but playoff games are bigger than regular season ones.

    No it's just the Flyer's stand out like a sore thumb like below:

    25 Games Jesse Boulerice of the Philadelphia Flyers, for a crosscheck to the face of Vancouver's Ryan Kesler in October, 2007.

    I don't like too but I give the Flyers credit, they shut the Canadians down and in on the boards and then stuffed the rush, then took advantage of the mistakes and are now on to meet the Pens.

    Man that Stars/Sharks game last night was amazing. The best 2-1 game I’ve ever seen. I missed regulation but watched all of the OT periods. Nothing finer than Stanley Cup OT games, especially when they go at least 4 OTs….Still not as long as two of the Penguin games in the top five but still pretty damn awesome.

    Too bad the Sharks had to lose, but what a way to lose it.

    Tell me about it!!!

    We have a prior commitment to go to a Dodgers game with a bunch of teachers from my wife’s school.

    And then my sister flies in from Houston on Saturday and we’re doing Eliza’s baptism on Sunday, at 2 p.m.!!! The second game is going to conflict…


    Trying to figure out how to make this work ;)

    As a hockey fan, a Penguins fan, and a Star Wars fan, this just hits me in the right spot in so many ways I’ve lost count…

    Uh oh!
    The Philadelphia Flyers' chances to reach the Stanley Cup Finals just got weaker after defenceman Kimmo Timonen was reportedly ruled out indefinitely due to a foot injury.

    let him go at the end of season. Nice game last night but what goes with that second penalty that Dallas took or should I say the ref's call, it looked pretty minor. I've seen more in a school yard than that one, have to give the Wings credit they kept the puck away from Dallas almost all night.

    Well, The Flyers played their best game, the Pens played their worst game of the entire playoffs and the pens still won. And the Flyers lost their second best defensement.

    I don’t want to count my Penguins Eggs before their hatched, but I feel a Stanley Cup may be in their future.

    16 straight wins at home, 10-1 in the playoffs. The Flyers throw their best offensive chances at The Flower and they still only get two goals.

    The Pens always find a way to win…ugly or pretty they win it.
