The Lions' Pride

Game 4 is the most crucial game of every series, especially one that is sitting at 2-1.

Are you an Angels and Rags fan?

No i am Mets fan but I am sports lover and a no hitter is good sports....

The post about Pujols followed by the Weaver post threw me off.

It was a late night. I couldn't care less after that win. That was one of the more nerve-wracking experiences I can remember.

After 11:30 or midnight that turned into one hell of a sports night.

Don't forget Girardi got cut over the eye last night and was out for several shifts while getting stitched up in the dressing room. I assume they laid him down and got the singer sewing machine out and presto he is ready. Last night was not as nervewracking as that 2 to 3 minute stretch late in the third against Ottawa. I don't think I breathed at all and just stood at yelled "get it out" like over and over again.

btw... eminger sucks worse than Bickel..... I just cringe when he has the puck deep in our zone because you know you are going to see him try to pass it up the middle.

Ice time for the defensemen last night.
Bickel - 3:24
Stralman - 28:00
Del Zotto - 43:33
Girardi - 44:26
Staal - 49:34
McDonagh - 53:17

That is ridiculous. Stralman played half the time as McDonagh. They basically played with 4.5 defensemen.

I am the same way. I think it is age and a combination of other things. Up until that 1994 team, my squads never won anything. The Rangers were chokers, the Knicks had to deal with MJ, and the Yankees usually sucked. Then they come back against the Devils and hang on against the Canucks. Since then, the Yankees have won a bunch of titles. I have calmed down. I also have way more things going on in my life than when I was a kid.

In 1994, I wouldn't be able to sleep after a tough loss. Last night, I was just enjoying the game. Although, I don't have as much confidence in this team as you. Part of me staying calm, is my low expectations despite their #1 seed. I just don't think this team is deep enough to get through the playoff grind.

I was 7 for the 1994 cup run. Remember I took off school to go to the parade. Such a great day

Welp, tonight is game 3 of the Flyers/Devils series. Now we're in NJ. Hopefully the Fly Guys can rebound and come out and play the way they did in game 1.

Exactly. There will be as many, if not more Flyer fans there. Lets be real here, you can still buy an ice level, first row seat and it is the day of the game.

Flyers are a very good road team. Who knows what will happen tonight, both teams have played one terrible game each.

As long as we're talking about that greatest of days, I was 18 and it was during Finals week at my HS. I convinced a teacher to let me take my exam after school the day before the parade. Someone at my father's office had two tickets to the City Hall Ceremony that he was nice enough to give us. Sat 2nd row, in front of Dave Checketts and Ernie Grunfeld of the Knicks. Hard to imagine it ever leaving my list of top 5 best days of my life.
