I can’t tell if I love this or hate this [via the Flyers’ city-leading PR department]:

What’s the mindset now? Obviously you came back with some momentum. Now they grab a game down here. What’s the mindset?

“It doesn’t change anything for us. We’ll be ready for game four. We’re going to tie up this series and go back to New York. We just have to stay confident. That’s why it’s playoffs. It’s exciting. We’re going to come off even better in game four.”

Do you look at game four as a must win?

“Obviously. We’re at home. I think those games at home, you have to win them. Tonight we weren’t able to get the job done. Now we’re looking to [do it] game four.”

You know what, I’m going to set aside the fact that the guy hasn’t scored or had a shot on goal in three games and go with this. We all ate crow once already this season. Why do it again? It tastes like garbage. If Giroux says they’re going to win, then they’re going to win. They’ll probably win. I mean, they should win. Maybe they’ll win. It’s mostly a toss-up. They probably won’t win.
