Late Game Heroics Make K-Mart a Happy Man


First off- I CALLED BRIERE'S GOAL!

Whew. Now that's out of my system. What a game. Now please Flyers, don't give me ulcers. Just win game 5. Seriously, we need a blowout win. We are close to a battle for Pennsylvania in the Eastern Conference Finals, and I think we could take that. But we still have a long road before that happens.

A few notes from the game...
-R.J. Umberger is money. 6 goals this series, this man is unstoppable
-Martin Biron is the reason why the Flyers are playing so well. He's had 106 saves on 112 shots for a .946 in three playoff wins this series. The Flyers would be done if it wasn't for him.
-Danny Briere scores a ton of goals standing at the side of the net. This is at least the fourth goal he's gotten by camping out to the right of the goalie and poking in a rebound or receiving a cross-ice pass to score.
-The Flyers showed some real guts by regrouping after giving up two goals in a minute and scoring that powerplay goal to win the game
-The Habs should just spot the Flyers a 2 goal lead in each game, because this is the second time this series and third time these playoffs the Flyers have blown a 2 goal lead. Thank god we actually won this one.
-If the Flyers don't win game 5, this series is going 7.

On an unrelated note...
-Sean Avery has a lacerated spleen and will miss the rest of the playoffs. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
-Is there a scarier team in the west than the Red Wings right now? If I'm the Flyers, Penguins, Canadiens or Rangers, I don't want to face them in the finals.
-Dallas may just be that hotter team, they are making San Jose look foolish. Marty Turco is right there with Marty Biron as the best goalie in the league right now. Will we see a Marty/Marty showdown in the finals?
-Please Rangers, win just one game to extend the series
