Game 3 Review / Game 4 Outlook

The penguins entered game 3 in Philly looking to bring the same intensity and solid play that landed them a home ice sweep during games 1 & 2 at the igloo. The Pen's got on the board early with a power-play goal by Ryan Whitney at 5:03 of the first period. The scoring followed with 2 goals by Marian Hossa and a tally from Ryan Malone. RJ Umberger scored the lone Flyers goal.

This game for the most part was full of dominating play from the penguins within their own zone and a cut throat throttling offensive attack. Even with a 3 game lead , History shows that their lead is hardly a lock for the finals and the Penguins players need to stay focused ( as hard as that is ) on the task at hand.

"You just kind of keep your head down, keep working and, hopefully, good things will happen," Defenseman Rob Scuderi said. "So far, it's worked well for us."


Game 4 Outlook

Game 4 is shaping up to be the finale in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Flyers are gasping for air and the Penguins need to suck the life right out of them and they need to do it NOW. Gary Roberts wont be in the lineup so look for Adam Hall to take his spot again on the 4th line. Hopefully this one does not get ugly but if it does i hope Hartnell gets his face rearranged by BGL.

Go Pens
