Okay, that's more like it!
There's the team we know and love! Get out to an early lead, take foot off gas in third and blow it. Thank goodness they're back, I was starting to worry!
And seriously, what's with our shootout strategy? All three shooters go low? Uh, what?

You can't win em all.
(Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)I'm not gonna lie, The Pronger's water ritual during warmups is the highlight of the game.
The honeymoon is over.
Ryan Parent is this year's Randy Jones.
What the hell was wrong with Coburn?
What the hell was wrong with the D?
The Pronger hulking out on Kunitz was my favorite part of the game.
Can someone really bite you through a hockey glove?
Thank god I don't have season tickets this year...clunkers like this game make me really appreciate that!
Zippy is home and recovering. He has a Gator smile now!
When is the next time we play the Pens? I will have to make sure I schedule myself to work!
That's more like it! I'm familiar with this feeling. Looking forward to the Hartnell suspension!
who says Pens fans are stupid?
Flyers fan in car to Penguins fan in crosswalk on the way out after the game: "Penguins suck!"
Pens fans response: "So do you, that's why you're leaving!"
Uh, we're leaving because the game is over....nice comeback, George Costanza!
Pens fans response: "So do you, that's why you're leaving!"
Uh, we're leaving because the game is over....nice comeback, George Costanza!
Oh good, the Pens. We are so great at beating them.
Clicking my remote into the wee hours of the morning brought me a little gem: Sudden Death was on last night. You know, the one where Iceburgh gets killed? I'm not gonna do any voodoo rituals on my stuffed Iceburgh today, because that hardly ever results in a win for the Flyers.
The Pens lost last night to the Coyotes, and if you saw them play, you know that they were just saving their energy for tonight's game. They even started Brent Johnson to give Lil flower some rest.
I hope to be at the game tonight. I have great seats in section 207 row 1. Nobody in front of me! My cat is having surgery today, and depending on how well he recovers, I may have to stay here and comfort him. So keep Zippy and me in your thoughts today, and send us good vibes so he'll be fine and I can go to the game.

Game of the year candidate
heh. listening to HNIC Radio on Sirius and Jeff Marek just called the Caps/Flyers game a "game of the year" candidate. Nice.
So, my tivo recorded the game, but without any volume. My tivo has a terrible track record of recording big games. If you ever left a game and said "Wow! I would love to watch that game again tonight, and over and over again through the years," chances are that my Tivo didn't record it. Two and a Half Men, no problem. Epic hockey games, not so much.
Let's steal a page out of BSH's book and answer my questions:
Should I wear my Pronger shirt that I wore for the first two games? I decided not to. But it's where I left it and unwashed.
Should I wash it first? no
Which socks will turn out to be lucky? some orange and black stripes
How many margaritas should I have? I had none, because I had an iced venti soy caramel macchiato about an hour before the game. Didn't see that meshing well with the margs.
Will I be removed from the Wachovia Center in a wheelchair due to said margaritas? Phew, dodged a bullet there.
Will I be able to take pictures, or will I be rendered frozen by The Pronger? I took pictures of the Flyers during warmups for the first time in a year!
How many snot rockets will I see Ovechkin blow? zero, as I watched warmups from the Flyers side
Will I make it home in time to see the late habs game? Since the "late" game started at 9, no. But that's fine.
When the Flyers took their foot off the gas in the third, as they often do, you could see the frustration on Pronger's face. He was not happy. Wonder if he said something to the boys so they took their heads out of their asses.
Not a fan of the defensive miscue that led to that Ovechkin goal in the second, but overall The Pronger was awesome.
