It's OK for hockey fans to express their hatred toward Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, but when an opposing broadcaster does it in the middle of a game, that's the definition of trouble. In Game 3 of the Penguins-Flyers series on Sunday, Crosby continued to add more fuel to the fire of this already intense rivalry. Philadelphia radio broadcaster Chris Therien called Crosby out during the middle of a skirmish, saying "What's to say somebody just can't punch his lights right out, concussion or no concussion?" Therien expressed his displeasure in Crosby starting the line brawl, continuing by saying "Punch him...

Sid the Kid is letting his fist do the talking this afternoon.
During the second period of a pivotal game 3 showdown between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers, the usually mild-mannered Crosby scuffled with the Flyers Claude Giroux. As this fight was wrapping up, Kris Letang and Kimmo Timonen started throwing punches, with Letang opening up a cut on Timonen’s...

At this particular point in time, the Philadelphia Daily News can pretty much say whatever it wants about the Penguins. Sidney Crosby may not actually be a coward and surprised us all when he got into it with some of the Flyers earlier in the series, but at the moment Philadelphia owns Pittsburgh. Most of us expected the match-up between the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds in the Eastern...

I have no idea what’s gotten into the Philadelphia Flyers as they’ve taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins by scoring a mind-boggling eight goals in each of their last two wins, but at this point, you’ve got to believe the Flyers have a very realistic chance of bringing home Philly’s first hockey title since way back in 1975 (my God, it’s been that long...

Over the past couple days we've heard a lot of people get really upset about how other fans have "turned on the Pittsburgh Penguins." We've heard Sidney Crosby say that "this is when you lean on your fans the most." We've seen people throw around the "you're not a real fan" card far too often.

Today, the entire hockey world got to witness what we in Philly have seen in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization since the likes of Crosby and his lackeys entered the league:
Completely classless, cheap shotting, cowards that are catered to by the referees and the NHL.
The Flyers are obviously in their heads, and today's 8-4 win and 3-0 series lead was a direct result of that...

Last night started out much the same as the past three games, penalties, soft goals and a crazy period.  The Flyers continue to be strong on the Power Play going 3 for 5.  But last night on 8 power plays the Penguins had they scored on 4 of them and gave up no shorthanded goals.  But the real difference came in the 5 on 5 play.  All of the Flyers’ goals came on Power Plays...
