The fourth win is usually the hardest, especially when you are playing a team that is desperate to win a game so that they won't get swept. Not to mention the fact that the Flyers are playing at home with 20,000+ fans.
Yesterday was a great example of how an inferior team(Dallas) can beat a far superior team(Detroit) when they are desperate for a win. While one team believes that they pretty much already have the series won, the other team plays fast, strong, and the best hockey they have all year.
Flyers have made changes to three of their lines. They want to move quickly past the neutral zone and create oppurtinities. Coach Stevens hopes to continue to neutralize Crosby and contain Hossa as well as Malkin.The Penguins defense in game 3 was rock solid, which makes you wonder if the line changes will even matter.
Desperate teams are hard to beat, the fourth win is hard to get, and playing away is hard to do.
Penguins hold the broom and sweep away. They win 4-2.
