Guerin, Goligoski lead Penguins over Flyers 5-4

Bill Guerin and Alex Goligoski scored midway through the second period to help the Pittsburgh Penguins hand the Philadelphia Flyers their first loss of the season, 5-4 on Thursday night.

Wow. After spending lots of cash in the offseason adding about a ton and a half of goonery to the roster, it goes without saying the Flyers still wouldn't be skilled enough to hang with the Penguins, but not to be TOUGH enough? They try to start one of their trademark crybaby "we may have lost but we're still the Flyers" fights, and Scottie Hartnell is so overmatched by pretty-boy Kris Letang that he has to BITE him? That must suck for you, but it's pretty funny for me.

Trout,

The Flyers aren't skilled enough to hang with the Pens? That's funny cause I recall the score being 5-4 at the end of the game. The Pens are Crosby and Malkin. The Flyers have more than enough skill to keep up with them...Briere, Giroux, Richards, Carter,Gagne, etc.

The Pens deserved to win in the playoffs last year, but were fortunate to beat the Flyers in the playoffs, because they were a bounce or two away from defeat in games 2 and 4.

have you fogotten talbot, stall, orpik, fluerry, it takes more that to player to be the stanley cup champs.

if the nhl refs didnt help pens against caps and wings to win so they could gain full promotional value from their pin up boy you wouldnt have even reached the final.

the flys high priced goonery group just couldnt keep up with the high flying pens... It was a great game to watch,with the slowfooted flys stumbling around like a bunch of tards.....As the season goes on the slowfooted flyboys will get slower and slower.... Wow that was a great game SID and the gang !!

Welcome back Dev...hey, make all the predictions you want, because every time you make a prediction against the Flyers, the opposite occurs (like when you picked them to miss the playoffs).

[DEV STARR]

Hey welcome back wang...... I see that you still cant make a fair or correct assessment of this team....... take off your orange glasses and then open your eyes....You guys just cant accept the fact that the pens are twice the team your flyboys are..

The same thing we were hearing from the Redwings fans last season: "the Pens are only Malkin and Crosby;" "you have two stars and a bunch of mediocrities who couldn't play on the Wings fourth line," blah, blah blah... That was right before guys named Staal and Talbot and Orpik and Gonchar and Kennedy broke their ignorant little hearts.

Of course, I was being more than a little glib about the Flyers skill-level. Briere and Richards and Gagne ring a lot of skill to the table, but still, when it comes to building a team, the Flyers brass is always going to think goon first. And that "sending a message" thing they always do at the end of losing efforts is just pathetic, especially when they can't even win the fight without biting like little girls.

And speaking of skill level, that Coburn goal was pretty slick. I've never seen one scored from that angle.

Yawn. You're an idiot. Find me any example of refs tilting the games toward the Pens and I'll find five more examples of non-calls or questionable calls that helped the other team. Go stick your tiny beak in somewhere else, little Kiwi-boy,'cause you don't anything about hockey.

whos the idiot? you're still bitching about the bite that didnt happen.

trout. when you have to resort to personel attacks that means you cant come up with any logical arguement. what about when caps were two games up and then? next game 7 pps pens 0 caps. answer that.

the east is so much easier in playoffs. no wonder wings were worn out in the last three games. pens wouldnt get through western playoffs, theve got it so easy

[gordon]

If it is so easy to get through the east,then why didnt the flys make it through ?? You seem to jump from one silly statement to another without any thought...

And this has what to do with our discussion ?? Doesnt matter who you claim to have played for,you just dont seem to know what your talking about here !! And whats with the five year old trash talk ?? Cant compete with the topic at hand so you turn to trash talk..... good advice little one !

you atacked me scumbag.

"Whose the idiot?" is a question. "You are a little tit with a wet diaper...Now go change it and grow up" is a statement. So wrong again. Can’t wait till you make another stupid bet and disappear. P.S. What’s with all the diaper references? Are you into kids? that another question.
