B's De-moralized

Besides losing the game , the B's lost their moral high ground for their self flagellating "Woe is us, the concussed" tour.
Dating back to '07 when, then Flyer, Randy Jones was given a token 2 game suspension for being "a Flyer"- his only crime was checking Bergeron into the boards. And more recently , after Savard returned from a Matt Cooke hit after missing 25 games, it was put forth that the Flyers physical play in this series would be scrutinized closely against the Boston Eggshells.
Understand, if it were the Flyers that were guilty of the following infractions: two boardings(sending one of the opposition's elite players to the dressing room for the 3rd period), a crosscheck to the face of team's captain that drew blood, by none other than....gasp!...the recently concussed martyr Savard ?!?!??! In retaliation for a ...check?
Shall we throw in a very dangerous trip that nearly sent Pronger head first into the boards- arguably the best defenseman in the game today. (Certainly the best defenseman in this series)>
Could you imagine the endless vilification articles upon the Broad Street Bullies from your Beantown peers, the non-relenting rantings that would have to be endured by King Julien demanding league investigations and suspensions?
And you know what? The attention would be deserved. Disgraceful game from an outclassed team. They deserve to be "Cowboy Upped ! ".
