I have wished Pronger personal success but go Boston. Now a fight!!!

I'm rooting for Boston

Me too I will never root for a team from the City of Brotherly Scum.

Does Tim Thomas have a different mask shape than most other goalies? It looks shorter and rounder to me.

[OrangeDucky]

I'm pulling for Flyers in this game just because of Chris Pronger, really.

[Kenny]

Thomas really blew that goal.

Watching this really makes me miss Prongs. Seeing players going for a check just bounce off him, and his overall physical dominance.

Tim Thomas having a rough 2nd period. Flyers PP coming up.

Will the Ducks ever get to be in the Winter Classic? What jerseys will they wear?

I've been wondering the same thing.

[Always Mighty]

What a game!!! Bruins score in OT to win the game!!

[Bits]

Man, I think Philly outplayed Boston. Philly's goal was hilarious! It's gotta sting that Boston won with too many men on the ice.

Purple Anaheim third. But I doubt they'll ever get the chance.
