Didn't want that game to go to the Flyers. Would have been OK with a win tonight and a loss Friday.

It doesn't matter.  There is no question that the Blackhawks are the more talented team.  If they play like the most talented team in 1/2 of the 4 games left, they will win the series.  If they play like the most talented team in just 1 of the remaining games, I still believe they will win the series because Philly has shown that they can lose even when the Blackhawks play horrible.

Philly played a very good game last night and won in OT.  There's nothing to worry about if you're a Hawks fan.

Not too worried, Buzz, but I just hate that the Flyers have "hope." They seem to thrive in this type of situation. Anyhow, I didn't expect a sweep so I'm not surprised.

Hard to watch this.  Between the referees and the Blackhawks whiffing on passes and shots and turning the puck over...

All they have to do is play an average game.  That's it.  Stop giving the Flyers gifts and this series would have been a sweep.

I wonder when the horseshoe is going to fall out of the Flyers' ass.  Puck goes off the back of a player, off the post and in...yeah, that's all skill.

The Flyers were flat out the better team tonight. The Blackhawks had a few minutes where they scored 2 goals, but aside from that the game wasn't that close. I think the series may be shifting, not sure the Blackhawks are equipped to handle the Flyers bruising, dominant style of play. It's becoming apparent. Prongers treating them like kids. All the Flyers gotta do now is win one in Chicago.

You must be watching a different series that I am.  The Flyers have been the better team every game because the Blackhawks are making way too many mistakes, yet the series is 2-2.  If the Blackhawks played 2 average games in Philly, the series is over already.  All the Blackhawks have to do is stop giving the puck away.  It's that simple.  Philly would have no chance if they weren't being given gifts.

I guess now it's time to find out if the Blackhawks can handle adversity. The pressure is finally on them. How will they react. Like the class bully, someone finally punched back.

Yeah, it's a series now.

Call it sour grapes if you want, but Pronger gets away with way too much.

As far as adversity, the Hawks were down 1-0 in the series against Nashville and Vancouver, lost home ice and still won.

Against Nashville, they almost went down 2-0 until Kane tied it with a shortie with 13 seconds left and Hossa won it in OT. I think they'll be fine in that regard.

Game 5 is gonna be intense.

Great 1st period by the Blackhawks.  The first time all series I thought they played well.  Flyers have come back strong in period 2 so far.
