Letter from the Enemy, Part 3

by Travis Hughes on Apr 19, 2009 3:28 AM EDT

A win in this series would make these letters a lot more fun. In case you missed the first two, Frank from Pensburgh and I have been passing notes back and forth in class throughout the series. They mostly consist of making fun of Sidney Crosby's delicate, feminine features.

Sorry for the delay on this letter. I got caught up doing a little spring cleaning around the house this weekend and amidst all the sorting, junking and sweeping I couldn't find time to get to a computer. Nevertheless, here I am. And just for the record, the cleaning may be done but I left the broom out. You know, in case of emergencies.

So how about it? The Flyers gave their all the other night and just couldn't pull out the win. Much to their credit they looked like they wanted it. Had they played like that in Game One it would've really set the tone for the series.

Understandably when Pitt hits the ice at Wachovia Center the tides may change. Of course if you're led to believe your local media personalities then the series will head back to Pitt tied at two a piece and Crosby will be held scoreless because he's "scared" of the fans.

Never mind the fact that Sid plays some of his best hockey in Philly, scoring nearly two points a game throughout his career.

Honestly I can't wait to see some of the creative posters and chants from the fans. When you bring your worst Sid brings his best, so by all means go all out.

Game Three awaits,

Don’t worry Evgeni Malkin’s knee won’t save you this time. I think we will win as long as we don’t take stupid penalty’s like we have the first two games.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t this a season long thing too? Something tells me it’s not going to stop in the playoffs.

Maybe it was a season long thing, but until we got to the OT, we were pretty well behaved. And there are realistic Philly fans who will give endless shit to Knuble and Giroux for the penalties they took in OT, until (unless?) they find some way to redeem themselves.

Carter should be looking to get a goal back today, and hopefully a bit more than that. Stay disciplined, and keep the crowd happy, that should be our game plan for today. GO FLYERS.
