On Saturday:
“We’ll see the true face of our team,” said Letang. “And I think we’ll see if guys have character, and we’ll prove a lot.”
On Sunday:
The only person on the planet right now with less composure is that Kony guy. What was Kris Letang thinking?
This series will be in the back of all of our minds the next time the Pens make the playoffs. And the playoffs after that. This series is the seed of doubt that has been planted in Penguins fans forever.
The Penguins broke on Sunday. Mentally broke.
And now it is 3-0.
Take a look at this mountain:
Pens have to climb this naked and in like 8 minutes. You can't say a series is over, but this one is as close as it gets.
Recap after the jump.
Flyers gave out free shirts to their fans. Free, the color matched, and it took a dump in your mouth. Pens charged their fans for a white shirt.

Verdict is in from the league, and the Penguins will be without a very key player in James Neal for a tomorrow night's pivotal game 4. What say you? Is this fair punishment? I say it's about right.

The Flyers-Penguins series has been a series for the ages already. With so much happening, especially in yesterday’s slug fest at the Wells Fargo Center, it was kind of hard to keep everything straight.
There were things that happened in that game that I have never seen before. Rules were enacted that I didn’t even know existed. I suppose that’s a testament to the freaky nature...
