Lol Bettman on HNIC.

Ron and Bettman had some tension.

Bettman shut down the prospect of Ontario having another team, rather focus on Quebec and Winnipeg. Phoenix is staying in Glendale.

Another year of increased revenue.

''Who are you getting your information from as to what players are thinking?'' Bettman lol.

Philly plays this team hard, but Chicago is finding ways to win the game.

While writing that, Philly ties it up.

Time for some overtime. This has been a great game.

Great game, now we've got a series.

Hey, Bettman. Don't focus on Winnipeg and Quebec. Milwaukee needs a team.

As cool as that would be, you know that will never happen. Ever.

I can dream and talk about it on the interwebz though.

A team in Milwaukee would be awesome.

You can. And then we can all point and laugh

Unfortunate that Chicago lost tonight, however I never expected the Hawks to win both (if any) in Philly.

The Hawks just need to split in Philly. They've been outplayed in at least 2 of the 3 games though and maybe Game 1 as well. They really need to start playing better hockey if they want to win the Cup.

Really, what's the difference?

Wow. Trying to clear right through center on the backhand is never a good idea and it leads to the Flyers second goal.

The Flyers are the better team. Not a moodswing, it's a fact.

That's pushing it, I think. They just have a better coach who can get everyone to buy into a system.

Hawks have better forwards, defense, depth, and arguably goaltending. They're just not showing up.

Reffing doesn't help either, though. I've never seen as many crosschecks, slashes, and stick holding penalties gone unpunished by a single player as I have Chris Pronger in these playoffs. These refs call it by reputation instead of calling it down the middle, which is benefiting the Flyers like nobody's business.

The reffing against us has been criminal at best. But that's not the reason why we're losing.

Man, Niemi is awful. That last one wasn't his fault but his reaction time and rebound control is the worst I've seen this side of Jose Theodore.

It's not easy to be a goalie on the penalty kill all series. Another 5-1 PP advantage for the Flyers. I think these angels (one of the most penalized teams in the NHL in the regular season) have had about 10 more powerplays than us in this series. The refs are letting the Flyers play but everytime the Hawks do something they call it. Been that way all series.
