I'd take my chances with a fist fight between Bylsma & Granato vs. Lavy & Berube.

[Froggy]

well, this is kind of embarassing. way to drop down to those animals' level. nice job, guys.

Lol....seriously? Give me a break. This is the first time they've shown this much fire in a long time.

what did it accomplish? if we get anyone hurt or suspended in the last minute of a game we already lost, is that going to be worth it?

[shafnutz05]

If you are embarrassed about this, give me a break. The Pens were responding to the cheap shot on their franchise player earlier. That's a good thing. It shows that they give a damn

[DropEmJayBird]

Lavoilette is a blow hard, this is the second time he's gotten himself involved with a player, I think he did the same with Ott in Dallas this year.

[offsides]

Bottom line...............Flyboys win game and get the last laugh.

He's a crybaby too

[PensFaninRegina]

BAH. Now i'm even more annoyed that NBC/Global switched from the hockey game to golf.

Can someone give me a brief rundown of what happened?

Who instigated? If aanything the hit by vitale caused this. Asham was protecting him

[npv708]

Here's what kills me about the NHL right now.

A good clean hit is now always answered with a brawl. Always. Briere was in a bad spot, he paid for it, move on.

There are three more games left in the regular season. You honestly don't think this is going to bring the team together in the long run? Schenn was back on the ice, good for HCDB

[DropEmJayBird]

Are these guys on NBC serious?

The penguins taking liberties? A clean hit on a guy with the puck compared to a friggan cross check from behind while a guy is going to the bench?

F off NBC.

Yeah. This team gets attacked for not responding and not being physical in the past. They do this and still get criticized? Pathetic.

[mac5155]

Why is Crosby out there?

[pressure=9Pa]

Why pit 87 and 71 out now?

Incredibly hypocritical, isn't it?

Vitale hit Briere clean and hard, then got jumped for doing so.

[supermario]

Put the goons back out!

[npv708]

Do not keep putting Sid and Geno out there.

Yea going to have to agree with this. Thank God someone showed some kind of heart today.

That's what I'm saying.

[skullman80]

At least the Pens showed some fight there at the end.

Not sure what Laviolette was pissy about it was a clean hit.

Also I'm sorry but Hartnell mocking Hulk Hogan guy was really really really funny.

[mariojr]

I don't give a ^%#$ about the fights. The Penguins are terrible right now. They're losing to everybody, and the games aren't even close. With a chance at the number 1 seed, they lost two straight to the [i]Islanders[i]. They managed enough effort and intensity to get a win at Buffalo. But then they came home and laid this egg against the Flyers, making the season series 4-1. And that will be the way the playoff series goes, as well. Fleury has not played like an elite goalie in almost a month, and unless he turns it around, they have no chance whatsoever, as defense is something they give only cursory attention. They haven't exactly been great at offense either. Oh, Crosby scored. THAAAAAAAAAAT'S NAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIICE."

That's the problem with the Flyers, and the caps for that matter... classless organizations - they can never just win, they go out acting like *******, and it I think it will do more harm than good when it's all said and done, you don't want to wake up the penguins in a way that will make them work hard.
