    Hey Frank, or anyone for that matter, can you tell me the Flyers record in game 4 when taking a 3-0 series lead? I've been trying to figure it out but i guess i'm not doing the right research.

    Does it really matter? Keep stats like that where they belong, in the past. Regardless of the record this is an entirely new team in an entirely different circumstance. You can't predict whats going to happen next game. Best thing about sports.

    They are 3-8 in Game 4 after taking a 3-0 series lead.

    I don't care if the Flyers are 150-0 when taking a 3-0 series lead. As much as I despise the PEN, they are an extremely talented team who potentially can comeback and win 4 straight. Flyers need to close this out tomorrow night. I don't want to see a game 5.

    txflyer: You're right, man. I'll never forget the 2000 ECF with the Flyers up 3 games to 1 and everyone looking ahead to the finals. Then the Devs won a game, then another....
    We don't want to give the Pens any last gasp....Neal will probably be out of the lineup and the Flyers need to play their best game of the series to eliminate Pittsburgh.

    Most important stat: 0-36 when trying to win a Stanley Cup since 1975.

    actually it's only 0-35 (one year was locked out).

    Focus on the present cupcake.

    Pens lose Neal for 1 game and Asham for 4.

    The Penquuens hill just got steeper.

    Stats like this don't mean jack. Ask what Boston's record is in the playoffs when up 3-0 before 09-10 season. It is the same reason why we play the lottery. Sure, statistically, it doesn't mean sense to play, but it is all about what happens next.
