The Flyers-Penguins Game 3 brawls, while entertaining as hell when they happened, get way too much credit. It was mostly facewashes and gloved punches, and both Crosby and Giroux pussed out of having a real fight until Crosby threw a punch when the linesman got there. Crosby pushed someone's glove away, Letang jumped Timonen then did the Talbot crowd shush like he just beat up Shelley...it was mostly child's play. The only old school moments were Simmonds re-igniting everything by getting in Neal's face while Neal went to the penalty box, and the Adams-Hartnell fight. It was pretty embarrassing otherwise. Entertaining, but embarrassing.
