Chicago Vs Philadelphia for the Stanley Cup

He'll only be in their head for the 4 minutes he plays per game.

Ya, or scoring the winner last night, either or. The fact they are talking about him after the game is proof enough that he's done his job and done it better then anyone on The Flyers 3rd or 4th lines.

Like Richards said, "Eager is a good player". People dont realize just how fast and physical he is, not to mention he has a decent amount of skill to go with his game.

Flyers in 7 still

Also, who has been more noticable? Eager or Kane? Eager actually scored that goal on a line with Toews, there is a reason he was put there. Eager has been great in the playoffs and he is a major peice to that team, one of the best 4th line wingers in the league, he plays his role perfectly. He's Chris Neil with more tallent.

Yeah Eager's played his role perfectly. Ditto Asham for the Flyers. These are great, cheap character guys.

Also, Sopel's been good the entire playoffs.

Campbell's been crappy lately.

Campbell's still injured.

Yeah?

I only seem to notice Eager when he is charging guys and getting away with it.

As opposed to Pronger who gets away with murder.

Should have noticed Eager last night, scored one of the the biggest goal in the last 40 plus years for The Hawks.

You sir are very wise.

Chris Pronger might be the best player in the NHL when the chips are down. I don't like the guy, but he's a beast to put it mildly.

It's funny. I've been watching mostly on the PVR, FFing through breaks and such. And it seems that Pronger is *always* on the ice. It seems like almost every goal, he's out there celebrating. Then they put up the stats -- he's over 30 minutes per game average after three games, and there's only been on OT game to pad the stats. Can't stand him, but if this series goes 7 (and it very likely will) he's the MVP.

Yup, he is a workhorse. He's also doing little things like breaking the ice to delay the game to give him and his teammates a longer rest.

MVP and he should be a Norris candidate.

Conn Smyth if the Flyers win for sure.

I can't remember if it was when the Flyers signed Emery or acquired Pronger, but I joked that the Flyers were going to win the cup. Not looking too funny now lol.

Will Ray Emery get his name on the cup?

And have two cities in the same State/Province ever won back to back championships?

Edmonton and Calgary in 87, 88, 89 (Calgary), 90.

Wow, go Canada. I fear that might never happen again. I also fear an Canadian team will never win the cup again.
