Stood before the Flyers motto “You play for the CREST on the front, Not the name on the back”, his right eye still orange and puffy with Frankenstein stitches standing out, Danny Briere gave us a truly honest post game interview.  It wasn’t overladen with praise for his teammates or “we’ll win it next year” platitudes.  He expressed the weird, sort of let-down feeling pretty much everyone watching had. 
Danny said he couldn’t believe the Cup could be won like this – with so much confusion.  “That can’t be it,” he said in a quietly bewildered voice just after the game.  [...]

 If you didn’t spend at least a little bit of time laughing your head off during Game Two, then you have my condolences for being a Philadelphia fan.
 The Flyers couldn’t even get a little thing like a mid-ice sandwich right!  Dan Carcillo was hell-bent on slamming the Blackhawks Tomas Kopecky between himself and teammate Jeff Carter, but Kopy just leaned backward out of the way and Carcillo flattened Carter Keystone Kops style.
 Goaltender Leighton sounded like he was comparing Ben Eager to Alexander Ovechkin during a postgame interview.  Folks, that’s BEN EAGER he was talking about, not Johnny T.
And finally, Romper [...]

 
What does a hockey player do when the chicklets go flying hither and yon?  Have the doc stop the bleeding, numb you up and hit the ice flying!
About half way through the second, the Blackhawks Duncan Keith took a hard hit puck straight to his mouth off the stick of the San Jose Sharks Patrick Marleau.
“I just knew right away,” Keith said. “I took one breath and it felt like my whole mouth was missing so I knew there were some teeth gone.  A bunch of them disintegrated, it felt like.”
 All in all, Keith lost seven teeth; two fake, five [...]

 Woohoo!!  **doing the happy hockey dance**
 I’ll let my fellow pundits put the icing on the cake on this one and for anyone who was rooting for the flippy Flyers, I have only one thing to say to you {however, all of the words in my statement are illegal, so I leave it up to your imagination}.
 Oh, and what was up with Colburn picking up the puck and hurling it down ice? 
 The most entertaining part of the game was the funny things coming out of the commentators mouths.  Here’s a sampling:
 Smelly glove to the face.
 Meat mallet.
 Fixed bayonet hockey.
 Constipated defense.
 A pudgy [...]

Montreal vs. Philadelphia
What are the Habs to do?  Will the mad scramble to reorchestrate for today’s game have worked?  How will Calamari – sorry – Cammalleri adjust his play to get around the Flyers big defense?  What will they do to get all the big butts out of Halak’s face so that he can actually see the puck in order to play it?  And finally, how will they break up those crashing the crease maneuvers Phil is so good at?
One positive note, though.  Pronger might be injured.  But don’t count him out.  This is a dude who once dislocated his [...]

 
Wow, that was like watching a neutron star collapse on itself.  To be honest, though, the outcome wasn’t all that unexpected.
Remember when you were a kid and you went to a horror movie and you had your hands clapped to your eyes the entire time, but you couldn’t resist peeking every now and then?  That was the Montreal vs. Philadelphia game yesterday. Did the Flyers secretly replace Halak with an alien simulacrum programmed to suck?  He allowed four goals on 14 shots before being pulled at 29:53.  The hungry Flyers netminder Michael Leighton recorded his first playoff shutout in [...]

I do not possess the eloquence, wit nor creativity to express my feelings about last night’s games – therefore, I defer to the scintillating and brilliant wit of Michael Scott from “The Office”:

Another game, another loss for the Ducks. This one came in a shootout but was the result of the same formula we’ve seen all too often for the Ducks this season. They had everything going for them: they scored the first goal of the game early, they took the lead into the third period, they played disciplined, Jonas Hiller played well, and they had a two goal lead with five minutes to play in regulation. But they still found a way to lose.
The Ducks scored the first goal of the game on a laser shot by Joffrey Lupul, who was [...]
