Talking Tough

from Sam Kasan of PittsburghPenguins.com,
The Philadelphia Flyers have the reputation of being a tough team. But the Pittsburgh Penguins are also a tough team. It just depends on how you define the word “tough.”
“Toughness is if you can go out and play your game the way you want to play it and not be deterred from it; then you’re being tough,” Penguins interim head coach Dan Bylsma said.
from Adam Kimelman of NHL.com,
One of the most obvious storylines of this first-round playoff series between the Flyers and Penguins has been the hitting.
In the first two games, the Penguins were credited with 80 hits, compared to 66 for the Flyers. In Game 3, however, the Flyers outhit the Penguins 29-18, and Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik, who had 14 hits in Game 2, had none in Game 3.
While real-time statistics like hits seem to vary building by building, the Penguins admit the Flyers dictated the physical play in Game 3.

Not a tough team? I think the Pens have been the tougher team in this series. I also think it has taken the Flyers completely by surprise. The Flyers want everyone to think they are a tough team but when a team like the Pens, that have so much skilled talent, also bring the pain? ...... they’re hard to beat.
