Over a month ago, I discussed the possibility that Simon Gagne, who has been out since February with concussion symptoms, might return to the ice if the Flyers make the Stanley Cup Finals. Well, with the Flyers a mere four wins away from the Stanley Cup Finals, it now seems there is little hope that Gagne will be suiting up any time soon.
When asked about Gagne's possible...

By losing game 4 in their series against the New York Rangers, the Pittsburgh Penguins actually grew closer to becoming a championship hockey team. Their captain Sidney Crosby was on the receiving end on many attempts to run him, in the 3rd period he decided to take matters into his own hands. Dan Girardi just leveled Marian Hossa to the ice and enough was enough for the kid as he...

Bring on the Penguins! Or maybe the Rangers if they pull off a miracle.
After falling behind by 2 goals in the third period, the Flyers pulled off an incredible comeback to knock off the Canadiens 6-4 and win their series against Montreal 4 games to 1. It was another total team effort in the comeback, with several players stepping up, making plays and scoring goals to lead the...

Much to the joy of the Philadelphia Flyers, Carey Price will be returning to the net for the Montreal Canadiens for Game Five tonight. As they face elimination, Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau has chosen to play to 20 year old rookie, who has been extremely shaky against the Flyers, rather than Jaroslav Halak, who was in net for Game Four after Price was benched. The Canadiens are...

Do you think a temper or two could flare in this barn-burner ???
If you thought a Penguins/Rangers series was going to be rough, you ain't see nothin' yet. The Flyers are coming to town, and they are on a serious roll.

From The Sports Muffin blog:
I can't believe I'm saying this, but playoff hockey is SICK!!! After watching the frenetic pace of the Penguin-Ranger game today I have to admit that I may start watching more games as it gets closer to the Finals. I'm not sure why Americans have such a dislike for sports that have Goals. It must have something to do with the fact that...

There is no avoiding the Flyers this time, Penguins!
The Penguins defeated the New York Rangers today, 3-2 in overtime, winning the series 4-1 to set up an all-Pennsylvania Eastern Conference Final between the Flyers and Penguins. You will recall the last time the Penguins played the Flyers at the end of the regular season, they purposely sat Sidney Crosby and tanked the game...

The Rangers were supposed to be better than this. That's the bottom line. GM Glen Sather added $86.75 million worth of talent up the middle in Chris Drury and Scott Gomez during the offseason and couldn't find a winger to pair with either, let alone two. While Years 1 & 2 of the Rangers' post-lockout revival have to considered resounding successes, Year 3 can'...

Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it ??
Well, it's not really rocket science. If the Penguins play their style of hockey, chances are good that they'll win Game Five and close the series out. If they don't, they play right into the Rangers' hands.

A fitting end to a hard-fought series.
Marian Hossa's slapper of a loose puck past Rangers' goalie Henrik Lundqvist gave the Penguins a 3-2 overtime series-clinching victory over the Rangers in Game Five today at the Igloo.
