game 1 of the playoffs -  Briere is clearly offsides on that breakaway goal . should have been 3-2 Pens right there instead of 4-3 OT Flyers.  terrible linesman. they have TWO jobs: watch the offsides, and drop the puck.  maybe a 3rd - watch icing? that's it.  htf could you miss that?   flyers 2nd goal was just a fluke off-the-Dman. 3rd goal was a nice deflection.

Crosby opened the scoring with a beauty backhander while falling.  sully to dupuis from Gretzky's office was nice.  and Staal to TK cross-slot one timer was a beauty to beat 3 dmen.. really 2 i guess. ah well., should have been a game 7 but they would have lost anyway.
