I'm not a Flyers fan, but I'm a big Team That's Playing the Pens fan. Was great to see the Pens show that they're not the classy outfit they want us to think they are.
I did gain some more appreciation for Crosby, though. He and his fragile noggin are not long for this game, but he's not going to spend what little time he'll have running scared. I even liked his move with Voracek's glove.

Couldn't disagree more. Yes, there's far less fighting. But the sport itself is far rougher than it's ever been. Players are bigger and faster and wearing far better padding. The free space Gretzky had 30 years ago simply doesn't exist anymore.
