Pretty good game. Philly is doing a good job of neutralizing the Hawks top line. Philly continues to move around quickly, with better passing than I've seen in the first 3 games. The Hawks looked a bit lost in the first period, but they now look a little better. Keith has made some nice passes that have led to scoring chances and Campbell is playing his butt off and hitting hard. But Philly has still had better scoring chances.

Flyers are playing like they want it. Hawks are playing like they're confused...
Hawks should've started mixing the lines around in the 2nd period...

Your nerves...? The playoffs are a detriment to my health...

I believe whoever wins Game 5 wins the Cup.

Chicago rebounds tonight makes Philly look like a joke. Leighton implodes. Final score: 7-2 Hawks. You heard it here first.

As much as I want to hate them, they are a special team. For what they may lack in "superstars" they make up for with grit, heart, and desire.

Wow this game is awful. Both teams are playing like shit. It's embarrasing that this is a Stanley Cup game.

I've seen exhibition games where smarter hockey was played.

Fortunately for the fans of whoever wins this series, everyone will only remember who the champion was, not how poorly they played.

Thought the Hawks played a wonderful 1st period...the rest was, kinda back and forth...but, at least Chicago had an answer each time the Flyers scored.




Good call by Coach Q in spliting up Kane, Toews, and Byfuglien.

After watching Chicago play so much over the last couple months, if there's one thing I learned it's that this team doesn't need and should never have signed Hossa. He adds nothing.

I'm amazed that the Flyguys played so horrible in game 5 with so much at stake. Their first-period no-emotion show up was inexcusable. Got to hand it to the Hawks - they wanted it more. Hopefully we rebound in Game 6, take it to a game 7 and decide to play 60 minutes of all-out desperation hockey.

Seriously. Its not that he's hurting the team. But you could pay a guy 8 X less who will contribute just as much if not more. Terribly value for the cap dollar.

But I've been saying that for years. No one's listening.
