Playoff Beard #16 - Penguins vs. Flyers, Game 2 Eastern Conference Finals

In Game 1, the Pens did to the Flyers what they did in their first game against the Rangers--i.e., started slow, gave up a couple, then stormed back, scored in quick succession, and shut the opposition down with smothering defense to win (4-2 in this case). Flower came up big again, making key stops when he had to. And the Pens made another good netminder look bad--4 goals on 21 shots.

Only Richards scored for Philly, and both of his goals were in-close, crash-the-net scrums. If Pittsburgh keeps traffic out of Fleury's crease, I don't how the Flyers are going to score anything in the upcoming contests.

Sykora, Crosby, and Malkin scored for the Pens, with Malkin getting the last two. His second was my favorite of the game:
Almost as good as seeing it, here's Mike Lange's call of that same goal:


Game 2 is tonight, again at 7:30 pm.
