    Why do Penguins fans get all worked up about Flyers fans? Inferioirty complex? I don't know what it is. They get all upset that Flyers fans get into the game. It's odd. Pens fans are like the little school girls who have a crush on a boy and try to get their attention by hitting and chasing them around the playground. Pens fans wish they were like Flyers fans. But they don't have enough heart. By the way, Timonen and Coburn are both probably playing on Sunday. And to all those who predicted a sweep: you were wrong, in case you were wondering. And if the Flyers stink so bad I guess that means the Penguins are proving nothing other than that they can beat a team that stinks. Right? Your words.



    Cindy Crosby is sucha skirt! No denying his talent but he is such a little girl. The way he only runs his mouth when the refs are in between them and they way he threw no punches at Richie until the refs were breaking it up is cowardly. Act like a man Sally!



    Inferiority complex? Why?

    Because in Pittsburgh, we win World Championships? And in Philly, you don't??

    You're not too bright.



    We? Which team do you play for again? At one point did anything you have ever done affect the ability of your teams to do anything? Being born in Western PA is not a skill.



    Man, for the amount of times Joe Starkey, of the Tribune-Review, said the phrase "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," in his article, you'd think he was in a U2 cover band or something.



    Pittsburgh is a joke,
    Thank God Phlly added slot machines to pay for your new Penguins Arena or they would be playing their home games in a better market like Cleveland next year. Enjoy it now, because in two years when the salary cap kicks in...your Penguins and Pirates will both be eliminated by April anyway... like they usually are.



    Rich or Ed, I don't know if you read the comments here, but what are the chances of Timonen actually playing in Game 5, and does that affect the game plan for either team if both he and Coburn are back in the lineup?



    Despite a rough start in round three the Flyers played with heart last night - if the odds prevail and we fall to the pens at least we have last night. Thanks and keep it up and who knows
