Philly's defensemen, especially Pronger, were absolutely gassed in the third period. And that's after a few days off. We are going every other night through game 5, so that advantage could grow for the Hawks.
He seems like a really cool guy. Best line I've seen on a message board tonight, though: "This game was over when Michael Leighton looked at his driver's license and remembered that he is Michael Leighton."
those non-calls on the interference on hossa and the high stick on seabrook were just atrocious. they weren't even out of position. they were right on the plays and somehow missed them The high stick on Seabrook was a good non-call. They showed a great replay of it on CBC. Seabrook shot the puck in deep, and the follow-through from his shot pulled a Flyers' player's stick into his own face.
I don't know if NBC has shown it, but the puck *completely* hit Kopecky on the bench before he came on and scored a goal. That play should have been whistled dead. Huge break.
Not surprised. That was just awful in slow motion, but you knew it was coming. It's like watching the fat guy with the puck in the old NES Ice Hockey game.
