Past, Present Flyers Fail to Complete Sweeps: A Fan's Outlook The Philadelphia Flyers have come a long way since retooling themselves last offseason. Yet Flyers fans like myself had to admit that it paid off, as trading Mike Richards and Jeff Carter away while landing Ilya Bryzgalov resulted in Philadelphia nearly sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins out of the Stanley Cup playoffs. However, Richards and Carter have had things work out for them as well, as ... Too Much Went Wrong for Flyers in Game 4: A Fan's Reaction The Philadelphia Flyers couldn't have asked for a worse performance in Game 4. Not only did the team not sweep but they lost in epic fashion. The Pittsburgh Penguins scored the final eight goals of the game to roll to a 10-3 win. As a fan, I was certainly unhappy with the way the team looked throughout this game. But at the end of the day, the Flyers still lead the series 3-1. It doesn't really ... Penguins Prove Their Own Comeback Mettle Over Flyers: A Fan's Take The Philadelphia Flyers had proven their comeback power over and over to start the Stanley Cup playoffs. As such, Flyers fans like myself joked that if the Pittsburgh Penguins ever actually trailed early, then Philadelphia would be in trouble. But it is harder to joke about that after it actually came true in Game 4 on April 18. Flyers Become Even More Embarassing Than Penguins in Game 4: A Fan's Recap The Philadelphia Flyers had made the Pittsburgh Penguins look utterly pathetic to start the Stanley Cup playoffs. Flyers fans like myself rejoiced all week at mocking the Penguins for undisciplined play, horrendous goaltending and inexplicable mental errors. As such, it must have been all the sweeter for Pittsburgh when it gave Philadelphia a taste of its own medicine on April 18. Flyers Will Soon Need Bryzgalov to Dominate as Well: A Fan's Outlook The Philadelphia Flyers have done virtually everything right to start the Stanley Cup playoffs. And even when they've done things wrong, Flyers fans like myself are still comforted with how the Pittsburgh Penguins have been even worse. One such example is in goaltending, where the Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury has been historically awful in three games - which hides how Philadelphia still doesn't ... Three Reasons Why Game 4 is Big for Flyers: A Fan's Opinion The Philadelphia Flyers will host the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 4 on Wednesday, April 18. The Flyers will be looking to complete a sweep of their bitter rivals by winning this game. Considering how dominant the Flyers have looked and how lost the Penguins are, winning this game might seem easy to a lot of fans. However, the Flyers have to approach it like they have the other three games. They ... Flyers Know Better Than to Rest with 3-0 Lead: A Fan's Outlook The Philadelphia Flyers would normally be penciled into the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by now. While Flyers fans like myself are already dancing on the graves of the Pittsburgh Penguins, those graves aren't filled yet. But if Philadelphia had a 3-0 lead over Pittsburgh about three years ago, we would have no reason to think anything could go catastrophically wrong. Emperor Pittsburgh Penguins Crush Philadelphia Flyers with Their Happy Feet: Fan's Take The Philadelphia Flyers actually had taken a 3-2 lead at 15:52 in the first period during Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Philadelphia Flyers Players to Watch in Game 4: A Fan's Look The Philadelphia Flyers hold a 3-0 series lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins so they aren't really feeling all of the pressure. That said the Flyers want to wrap things up at home on Wednesday, April 18. For that to happen, the Flyers need to keep the pressure on their rivals throughout Game 4. Several players need to come up big if the team is going to complete the sweep. Goalie Ilya Bryzgalov ... Penguins rout Flyers 10-3 and cut series to 3-1 Sidney Crosby, at last, found a way to silence the Flyers fans that love to hate him from warmups to the final horn.
