"Laperriere was examined by doctors here and elsewhere before Joseph Maroon, the noted clinical professor of neurology at the University of Pittsburgh, confirmed he had suffered a concussion and brain injury after reviewing CT scans."

 

doctor is a penguins fan, not cool

 

 

 

but seriously, that really sucks. those kinds of injuries are no joke, i hope he heals up even in time for next season.

Lines for Saturday...

 

Dan Carcillo - Mike Richards - Claude Giroux

Scott Hartnell - Danny Briere - Ville Leino

James van Riemsdyk - Jared Ross - Arron Asham

Darroll Powe - Blair Betts - Andreas Nodl

 

 

Ouch. Missing 3 of the top 12 forwards, and it shows.

the top two lines really have to carry this team. briere and hartnell need to have a big series

 

Yeah. I was hoping they wouldn't have to break up the Giroux line but I don't think he had much of a choice.

Back to the Wachovia Center for game 6! What a game tonight...the injuries keep piling on, but they still managed to play IMO their best game of the postseason. I am still concerned about the 3rd D-pairing, most of Boston's sustained pressure came with Krajicek and Parent on the ice. But still, gotta keep it rolling on Wednesday.

Thank goodness Claude Giroux is alright. Should play Wednesday. Brian Boucher has injuries to both knees....not so good. Michael Leighton looked alright for a guy who has not played in 2 months, but I feel so bad for Boosh.

Since the advent of professional sports, Philadelphia has – fairly or unfairly – been the epicenter of black eye stories about fan conduct at games.

 

Look at this year’s Phillies season alone: both the idiot fan that induced vomiting on an 11-year-old girl and the 17-year-old that needed to be corralled via taser for running onto the field at Citizens Bank Park made national headlines.

 

On a slow news day, the taser run-in even led Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show.”

 

What about other cities? Is the lewd and deplorable behavior in other cities, arenas and stadiums publicized, too? Or is it just Philadelphia?

 

Flyers fan and CrossingBroad.com blogger Adam Gonsiewski attended last night’s Flyers and Bruins Game 5 at TD Garden in Boston.

 

Full disclosure: Gonsiewski invaded Bruins territory in a Flyers jersey, specifically with Simon Gagne’s name and number on the back.

 

Entering foreign lands wearing the opponent’s gear, Gonsiewski said he expected to be hit with verbal abuse, taunts, and even a stray beer or two.

 

That’s normal, he says. To quote his blog: “Beer cups, french fries, ketchup, popcorn – that’s all expected.”

 

How about being hit with condoms?

 

Gonsiewski has photographic proof here.

 

Understandably, the natives were getting restless in Boston. The Bruins are on the verge of choking on a 3-0 series lead, blowing a chance to return to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1992. You know, back when Sea Bass – better known as Bruins star Cam Neely, who played Sea Bass in legendary flick "Dumb and Dumber" – and Ray Bourque still played for the B’s.

 

Gonsiewski also added a picture of the beer cups that littered the ice before the players could even exit the ice. Classy.

 

That’s all well and fine. Beers, french fries, ketchup and popcorn – Philadelphians, of all people, get that. And even expect it.

 

But condoms? Gonsiewski cracks that Boston fans probably "have no better use for them." But do we need to add contraceptives to the list of approved objects to throw at opposing fans and chalk it up to a society with changing morals? Where is the line drawn?

Those Boston fans sure are savages.....every last one of them! Even you ECN.

THIS IS [expletive]IN AWESOME

 

Down 3-0 in the series, battle back to force game 7. Then, down 3-0 in the game and win 4-3. Unreal, [expletive]in unreal. Gagne wins it too. This is incredible.

Best I have ever seen. Not only were the Flyers down 3-0 in the series, but 3-0 in the game. This is beyond insane.

 

My dad is a Canadiens fan so I had to make a bet with him for the next round, case of beer for sure.

So....the Flyers have home ice in the conference finals....as a [expletive]in 7 seed. Gotta love the NHL playoffs. 1-2 in the West, 7-8 in the East.
