better review the picture above of the Devils fan that went there and maybe rethink that choice or at least bring a body guard.

all we have to do is play one shift at a time, and slowed down our power play, and carry the puck into the zone instead of dump and chase and we should be alright tonight

our defense wasn’t covering thier men.  
they were making a TON of blind passes  
We were not steping up in the nuetral Zone  
We were off our game Penalty wise it seemed.

in my opinion, we didnt start actually playing until Staal netted his second goal. so i will give them 5 min of the entire game they played like they have for the last 12 games.

but look on the bright side. the game will be on national tv, and the pens will make a bunch of money from admissions and concessions 😃

and if Dan was in net on that 2nd goal, he would have made sure Scudari would have watched his center

The first was rough…seemed like the call in the last two games favored the Flyers. I think we had a total of 4 powerplays in those two games. But I hate to be complain about the refs guy so we will have to deal with that.

Obviously they had a great first period and falt out outplayed us. Their neutral zone D is what held our offense back…but in the third we found our way around that. There is no way they shutdown Sid and Geno two games in a row. I think one of them is going to have a big game on Sunday.

What was going on at the end of the game was typical Flyer hockey…getting in cheap shots. Like with 20 seconds left when Richards clearly had no intentions on winning that faceoff and tried to take a few shots at crosby’s knee…fuck that, you need your ass beat for shit like that. For game 5 they are gonna try to start shit after the whistle…we have to turn our heads and skate away…they know that is their only way to win. They know they can slow the game down and at the same time bait us into some penalties.

Timonen & Braydon Coburn may play on Sunday…looks like they are gonna try and make it a series.

> Timonen may return for Game 5
> 
> After the Flyers finally broke through for their first victory of the Eastern Conference finals last night, they got some good news that gave them hope of extending the best-of-seven series a little bit longer.  
> Kimmo Timonen, their top defenseman, may have a chance to play in Game 5 on Sunday.
> 
> “I’m going to skate tomorrow,” Timonen, who has been out for the entire series with a blood clot in his left ankle, said after the Flyers defeated Pittsburgh, 4-2. "I met the doctor today, and we took another ultrasound. Based on that, the doctor said I have a green light to give it a try. That’s what I’m going to do.
> 
> “I’m going to skate and see how it feels. The doctor feels that there is no chance the clot is going to get loose or break up or anything like that. It’s a great sign. A week ago, they were afraid it was going to get bigger and cut loose. I’ve been on blood thinners now for eight days, and we’ll see how it goes.”
> 
> Timonen has played superb hockey against the top lines of the Washington Capitals and the Montreal Canadiens throughout the playoffs, but he was ruled out of the Pittsburgh series after soreness in his ankle did not go away. His return would be vital in helping stop the Penguins’ high-powered attack led by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
> 
> Flyers coach John Stevens raised the possibility at his postgame news conference of not only getting Timonen back, but also defenseman Braydon Coburn, who suffered a horrible gash when hit by a puck in Game 2 of this series and needed more than 50 stitches near his left eye and nose.
> 
> “Is there a chance? I think there is, either or both,” Stevens said. “But the first thing is to make sure of the health of the player. We’re not going to put anybody at risk. If they can’t go, we’re going to keep marching ahead like we are. But if we’re able to get one or both back, it would be a huge lift for our team.”
