I don't really have a dog in this fight, but the Hawks/Flyers games have been pretty damn entertaining to watch, so far.

That third period last night was a nice tense affair, with the Flyers all over Chicago at the end.

Also, kudos to CBC for spotting Pronger's little post-game "fuck you" to the Blackhawks. After the horn goes to signal the end of the game, he's going out of his way to pick up and take the game-winning puck from the ice, so Chicago won't have a souvenir to give the goalie (or a player).

It's petty, but it's gamesmanship. Chicago noticed at the end of this game and started jawing at him when he skated off. He had a few words as well.

Game three should be fun.

I have always admired Pronger for his outstanding sportsmanship.

Chicago won't need pucks to remember these finals by, Pronger will.

A 69-year-old London Marathon age group winner pulled a Rosie Ruiz, though he may have done it by accident.
