Okay, here are my thoughts on the game.
I'm obviously disappointed by the outcome, but I think some good can be taken away from it. All four Penguins goals were scored as a result of sloppy Flyers turnovers. That is something that is correctable, they did correct it once the game went on. I don't think the Flyers (or anyone) expected the Pens to go into a trap like that....and do such a good job of it. Kudos to the Pens, but at least the Flyers know what to expect now. They held Crosby in check pretty well, and his goal should have never happened from a Flyers perspective. Bad turnover by Biron. As for Malkin's second goal....really what can you do? I actually thought the Flyers didn't do a bad job in the territorial battle...and they did a great job of limiting the Pens to 21 shots, but all that matters is the final score. Still, that's something to take away from the game as a good thing.
But congrats to the Pens for the win tonight. They played a good game after the Flyers second goal. I can't wait for Sunday night. I think there might be a different outcome. (I hope.)
