    few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids’ room, the father said,”Take the kids and get out of the house. We’ll call the police, we don’t have a clown statue.” The “clown statue” is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don’t post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand(SORRY BOUT SPAM THIS REALLY FREAKS ME)

    “wings and blues is the real rivalry”? were u like deepfrozen in a cave or sumthin between 1996 and 2002?!

    yea…but it seemed that after that hit, Malkin wasn’t the same for the rest of the playoffs…I still think Malkin is a beast though.

    The way I see it, Crosby and Malkin are the second coming of Gretzky and Forsberg, whereas Mike Richards is destined to be this generation’s Mark Messier.

    I agree, Flyers/Pens rivalry is awesome.

    Yeah, Mike Richards is no Crosby, but I’d be ecstatic to have him on my team. Richards is clutch.

    Although, the most memorable event of the series to me was Richards’ hit on Malkin, then Malkin getting up and blasting a puck seemingly straight through Biron, followed by the Incredible Malk gesture towards the stands.

    Oh, and this video is just amazing. I wish I’d seen this live.

  • By superstuntbum, April 3, 2008 @ 1:47 am

    i will absolutely never forget this…..

  • By risingforce86, April 5, 2008 @ 4:19 pm

    I watched this live and i’ll never forget this goal as long as I live. I hugged the TV for 10 minutes. It was so story book.

  • By Crawford1987, April 8, 2008 @ 7:26 am

    I know that Crosby and Malkin are much more offensively gifted than Richards and Briere, but Richards put a blueprint out in the ECF on how to play Malkin…you hit the hell out of him. When that happens, I’ve noticed that Malkin gets upset alot and will perform cheap shots(see game 4 of Pens-Rangers) and takes himself out of traffic. Briere is a diminutive, but speedy and talented forward…plus, there’s no other team that comes closer to matching the Pens depth up the middle than the Flyers.

  • By G00DFELLAZ, April 9, 2008 @ 1:15 am

    I don’t want to be rude, but if you think Mike Richards or Daniel Briere can handle Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, your just straight up dreaming.

  • By Crawford1987, April 12, 2008 @ 1:09 am

    This was a silver lining, a great swan song for Mario Lemieux, in a series that was dominated by the Flyers.

    I have so much respect for Super Mario and that Pens team that year. Mario and Jagr was so dominating, its not even funny.

    The Pens/Flyers rivalry is easily the most entertaining and intense rivalry in the NHL right now. And will get better and better, as both teams continue to improve. Crosby vs. Richards…agitators will also be great, since ppl hate Hartnell, downie, and Cote in Pit.

  • By gfen1021, April 14, 2008 @ 3:26 am

    Avs wings? The Wings vs. Blues is the real rivalry. Look at all the fights,player swapping and history. Anyway….nice to see Lemieux go out like this, I loved watching this guy play.

  • By ragtagrick, April 15, 2008 @ 7:04 am

    Pens/Flyers rivalry was just as good as Avs/Wings.

  • By cptjrkov, April 17, 2008 @ 4:26 pm

    That’s what I loved about Ray Bourque

    He woulda dove after Lemieux
    making it a better goal lol haha

  • By cptjrkov, April 20, 2008 @ 3:43 am

    that Flyers Defenseman shoulda dove!

    woulda made it more dramatic lol

  • By kretzcm81, April 20, 2008 @ 10:39 am

    one of the greatest moments in sports history…

  • By jimsamaha67, April 21, 2008 @ 1:03 pm

    Mario.. after you finish with bwatt2004’s sister, you can come finish my mom :)

  • By BiggestBirdinPgh, April 24, 2008 @ 4:43 am

    For me, this goes down as the best goal ever. He has had better, but to score on a breakaway AFTER the crowd calls you out for a curtain call for one last shift is amazing. Delivered as only the Big Guy can do.

    Always miss The Best

  • By bwatt2004, April 26, 2008 @ 4:28 pm

    Mario will you bang my sister?
