The Flyers could have gotten their players hurt .... like when Crosby took out Biron behind the net and then pussied out a fight with a goalie, or when Laroque intentionally slid right into the legs of Biron and tried to take him out
the Flyers needed to send a message to the Pens, they lost to those guys 8 times last season, 0-4, 2-8, 4-8, not exactly keeping the score close...retribution for those blowouts in going 0-8 vs a team gives you a motive to run it up
,
and its not like Pitt was playing clean all game....First play of the game Malone went right after Smyth
,
and it escalated from there all game long, Pittsburgh broke a couple dozen sticks in intent to injure FLyers players..it was an ugly game by both teams, but you can't just sit there and say Eager is the only one that was playing dirty
