- Hello Dentist? This is CentralPAman. I need a new tooth. The one I had left fell out yesterday. Now I can't open my IC Lights. Thanks!— AreaMan
- I'm sure you'll be here posting again when the Flyers win the series. Such idiots hiding behind computer keyboards. It's a shame you don't have better things to do on this holiest of holy days.— hdtv267
- The flyers have beaten them all year with Crosby and without. Flyers in 6. I think 5 is very possible. It funny watching the commentators gush over the pens and not even giving the flyers a chance.— rgreen72

- I just love the clever witty comebacks on this site! StinkyPAboy, losing my tooth, and my favorite, being accused of hiding behind my keyboard from.......a person hiding behind their keyboard! Well played all.— CentralPAman
- I just love the clever witty punks from other teams who come on this site. "Golf course, tee time, April 19th". A person from another team must be "hiding behind their keyboard". Otherwise they would be on their teams site talking positive things rather than going after others...not well played! Haters who hide behind keyboards really need help. Please get some...before April 19th!! LOL!!! — sarah89
- Bryz is the key to the series, & really the key to how deep the Flyers go in the playoffs. If the Bryz of March shows up anything is possible. I say it's a close series, either team can win it. Much as I hate the Pens, I know they're a good hockey club. Bring it Bryz!— philadavephia
- As long as the refs play fair and Bob&Bryz have their A game, we got this.— boom dynamite
- pk better be steller and Bryz better be able to handle the pressure. lavy should be able to play the "nobody is giving us a chance" angle.— jking91
