Pittsburgh Penguins break out
That's the mantra that emerged from the Pittsburgh dressing room following the Penguins forced a game title 5 within their Eastern Conference playoff series having a 10-3 stomping from the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It's only a matter of going out there and playing a complete game," said Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. "When you play well and you are rewarded having a win, it is good. It's that which you go out there and do.
The Penguins were facing elimination in hostile Philadelphia. Perhaps sensing another opportunity going to be lost, the Penguins' magnificent core of stars put together a good performance to keep their slim Stanley Cup hopes alive.
•Jordan Staal were built with a hat trick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
•Evgeni Malkin had two goals as well as an assist.
•Crosby had a goal and 2 assists.
•And beleaguered netminder Marc-Andre Fleury got a bit of confidence using the victory as well as picked up an assist.
"We needed a lot of guys to step-up to win that first one and keep this rolling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Staal. "A large amount of the guys within the room know how to play playoff hockey and that we had a great effort."
When the Penguins had been eliminated in four straight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the business could have been facing some tough questions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], namely: Can their core of young players - who are growing older and much more expensive - be kept together considerably longer?
They might yet face those questions - another must-win as Game 5 comes Friday in Pittsburgh - just because a team that won this year's Stanley Cup and looked like a dynasty-in-waiting has squandered its last two seasons.
Now, with a opportunity to save this season - a minimum of for a game - their top stars came through.
"Everyone desired to play their finest within the situation we were in,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Crosby. "You want everyone to reply the proper way and we did. . . . Everyone has pride and wants to make sure you're playing the very best if you want to become. It's been a difficult series. For men to respond how they did is a great sign. It does not have any easier. We have to keep going from here."
Everyone else at the Wells Fargo Centre was well involved with it - until the second period. A newspaper printed a photoshopped picture of Crosby because the Cowardly Penguin (matching Crosby's face with the body from the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz). And they wore orange shirts emblazoned with the words "We Don't Like You, Either" in reference to a Crosby interview in which he said he hated everyone about the Flyers.
"I don't believe you can get caught up for the reason that stuff," said Crosby.
Impressive in the Penguins' point of view is that they were without four players. Defenceman Paul Martin was out because of an undisclosed injury and three other players - James Neal, Craig Adams and Arron Asham - were serving suspensions.
The very last thing the Flyers wanted to do was provide the Penguins hope, or inspiration. Now they find themselves having to go back to Pittsburgh, the momentum perhaps swinging within the other direction.
"A large amount of times, desperation wins hockey games," said Flyers coach Peter Laviolette. "They arrived on the scene desperate. They were much better than us. Our teams need to be better. It was an off game for us. I was not as sharp once we must be. That's obvious."
The first period ended 4-3 with what looked a lot more like shinny than playoff hockey. The Penguins then scored all five in the second and something more within the third, chasing Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov after their fifth goal.
The officials were part of the reason, calling everything and anything,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even stuff that were only close to being penalties,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to prevent the game from getting out of hand.
That isn't too much of an unexpected since three players were suspended following Game 3. When the score was out of reach, the officials started handing out misconducts like candy at Hallowe'en,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], getting players who have been prepared to rumble off the ice. Kings beat Calgary 12-4. . . . The Flyers have 12 Canadians on the roster, the Penguins 14. . . . Crosby and Staal have points in all four games for that Penguins; Voracek has been doing the same for the Flyers. . . . The Flyers set a franchise record for most goals scored in the first three games of a playoff series (20). . . . The Flyers were looking for just their fourth sweep of a seven-game series in franchise history. They were up 3-0 inside a series for the first time in seven years. The Flyers have never lost a set when leading 3-0,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a perfect 9-0 all-time.
