This is where it matters boys. We need to fight hard, get good puck control, and steal this game to go up 3-0.

If the Flyers win this, it can totally shift momentum in this series.

Every game has been close. If Philadelphia wins tonight they could easily tie it up 2-2 which would force the Blackhawks to play in Philly once more.

No goal!

WOW so damn close. Niemi's reflexes are so sharp. In real time I thought it went in.

Well this sucks. Game 4 is a must win.

The Flyers are just the better team IMO. We're going back to Chicago 2-2.

Damn. I knew it wouldn't be a sweep. Chicagoans got too cocky.

We're still going to win this series but it will be in 7 games. Flyers can't be beat at home.

I've never seen anyone get more deflated by losses than you. :lol:

I'm not deflated at all. I still think they're going to win this series. But guys like Toews need to show up. He's been good on the boards but other than that he's been Captain Invisible. And 0-6 on the powerplay is unacceptable so hopefully they get that going. But I've seen some of my favorite teams collapse over the years and I hope this is not another one of those epic collapses.

Saw this one coming since the game started, the Flyers were better tonight and deserved the win. I have no idea why the Blackhawks are changing lines while the Flyers are on the rush, eerily similar to Kane jumping off the ice in the final minute in the regular season matchup against these two. The top Philly line is barely heard from again, it was Giroux and Leino that were everywhere again.

Nice to see Kane arrive in the series, still waiting on Toews even though he got an assist. I really wasn't that impressed with either goalie, they were solid. Don't really know if there was a standout Blackhawk tonight, I guess Hjalmarsson was decent, Sopel as well. But if those are your two best players on the ice, you have issues. This was the Flyers game throughout.

SW, your moodswings give me whiplash, just an FYI.

And maybe the worst thing on the ice tonight was the officials and their inability to figure out what that pesky icing call should be. I counted four miscalled icings in some form down the stretch of the game.

Completely expected this loss tonight and I'm not really concerned yet. If they come out flat and lose Game 4, however, different story. The series still hasn't started, home teams have held serve. Change it in Game 4 and you're in business.

It's not really a moodswing. I just go with my gut a lot although people might not always agree with it. I thought going into this game that we wouldn't win it but take game 4 and finish it at home but I'm starting to question that. The Flyers have been the better team in this series and I'm waiting for the Hawks that we saw in San Jose and Vancouver to show up.

No the United Center isn't showing the game tonight. I would have gone if they did that though. They are having 4 watch parties around the state tonight though (2 in the city, 1 in Lombard, 1 in Rockford):

I guess Boynton is in for Jordan Hendry and Andrew Ladd is in for Adam Burish.

The refs have decided this series. Sorry.
