I Love The Flyers (Updated)

Let me just remark that the Flyers are everything you could want in a team. Watching the game on Sunday was great fun, and when we set the tone physically we usually gain the upper hand. I will say one thing though: the Penguins are some of the biggest babies I have ever seen in professional sports. I'm pretty sure that Sidney Crosby still wears a diaper. After every whistle one of the Penguins skates over to a ref and talks to them about something. Its ridiculous! Shut up and play the game. You know what the Flyers do when there is a terrible no-call by the ref (like that ridiculous hit on Timonen in the first period on Sunday by Kunitz)? Somebody skates over to the player that committed the unpenalized infraction and decks him (on Sunday it was Hartnell). Nobody cries to the referee. Nobody complains, they play and they avenge the cheap hit (in this case it really was a dangerous play, go watch the replay). Kunitz was definitely head-hunting and I'm sure he will pay for it tonight.

UPDATE: Watch this (better replay angle for the hit on Timonen which is clearly an ELBOW to the head, not even a hit at all more like a clothesline - Kunitz is a bastard) all the way through and you can see Crosby gets the slightest of hooks from Lupul, essentially nothing, and play stops and he looks at the referee and shrugs looking for a call. This guy is such a baby. Shut up and the play the game Crosby, you suck.
