The anxiety is killing me. Why couldnt have San Jose just beaten us or something.

The anxiety will be worth it if we win. If not, it will be an extra punch in the gut.

Just by judging by pregame quotes from various Flyers Ive heard on NHL Network and now NBC, Philly seems extremely confident tonight. They absolutely do not even fathom losing tonight.

I'm pretty pleased to actually be able to watch from home (especially considering my nasty hangover). Seems like I've had to go out and watch nearly every game -- I don't have Versus and then the ridiculous Indy 500 banquet fiasco last week.

Sounds similar to our mindset after winning the first two games. Maybe they will lose a bit of their edge (or not.)

Bingo. In the end, it's a bit more exciting to win a close series. Still, I'd rather just end it without the excitement. That talk that we had seen our last home game was awesome.

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Just gave Burnside my pre-game huge. We're ready.

Lineups are the same as Game 4.

 

Hawks are 13-2 in the playoffs with Burish in the lineup and 1-4 without him.

Exhibit A for why stats are worthless.

[UMFan83]

Toews is starting the game on a line with Hossa and Kopetsky.

This is the most nervous I can remember being for a sporting event. Ever.

That crowd sounds LOUD tonight....

 

I just hope they can maintain that intensity...

The 36th and final week of the NHL season is upon us. How will it end?

Be nice to have a nice surge to start the game and keep them in it.

Welcome to the series Buff.

Coulda aimed somewhere besides his chest.

[UMFan83]

I love going back to Soupy and Hammer, although the Sopel Boynton pairing scares the [expletive] outta me.

[UMFan83]

WE GOT THE FIRST PP!?!

[inari]

It's only been a few minutes but we've certainly looked a hell of a lot better than we had lately.

[kujay]

Nice nice nice! Love 19 and 81 together.

[bcl412]

Even series and now we get a powerplay early in the game. Coincidence?

[inari]

We didn't score but I still feel absolutely fine about our play so far.

[bcl412]

Set up the powerplay nicely and all but did we hit the net once?

[bcl412]

It'd would be really nice to put one in.

[Exile on Waveland]

Wow, great stuff so far early.

[UMFan83]

Holy crap how have we not scored yet. The longer we keep this up and not score, the more the momentum creeps back to Philly.
