ECQF Game 2: Pittsburgh (2) vs Philadelphia (3) 7PM ET | CBC, TVAS, NBCSN, ATTSN-PT, NBCSP

[Rich Nixon]

6-1 Pens. 7 goals per game this series. In each, the margin will narrow: Flyers will score one more, Penguins will score one less. Flyers get swept in a "so close" 4-3 game Tuesday. Hextall will say he liked how the team was trending, and if it was a best of 9, they would have tied it up. Hakstol gets 10 year extension.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Crosby with another deflect-trick

4-2 Pens. Powerplays more involved in this one. Hornqvist and Simmonds each score from in close.

I think your GAA for the Flyers are wrong. GAA are calculated per 60 minutes. So giving up 5 goals in 30 minutes is a GAA of 10.

Elliott's GAA is 10.32, while Mrazek's is 3.87.

...yeah, that sounds about right. Looking at it now there are a couple of formatting gaffes too. The nhl website has it as 10.34 and 3.87. I can’t really do anything right now.

Good job, late night me.

This is the playoffs man. You can't be slipping like this. Every game (day thread) matters.

I guess I’m not a playoff performer.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Philadelphia has no chance.

5-2 PIT

just going to leave this here again

Philadelphia has no chance.

5-2 PIT

I think "no chance" is a silly thing to say. I think this is a 60/40 Pens favorite each game. 7-0 is no different than 3-1. Pens walk in the slight favorite again and they need to hold their end of the bargain. If not - there's the hope Philly needs going back to their tough to play in arena.

Have people never watched hockey before? It's not over after 1 game. It never, ever, ever has been over after 1 game.

Nah. You have a dog in this fight and I understand wanting to downplay people handing you guys the series victory but Philadelphia really doesn't have a prayer in this series. PIT in 4 or 5 at most.

 

[GirouxCouturier]

All I ask is for some entertainment

Yes, showing a goalie from 10 years ago is very relevant.

 

[The GM]

4 - 2 pens with an empty netter. Philly starts strong, but then giroux gets ejected for trying to grab the refs butt

 

[Goon42]

5 - 3 Pens

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Tie game until the 3rd period...

Pens score 2 goals to win.

Or Flyers steal it.

Too many people picking the Pens to win...dont like it.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Also, not gonna see Giroux and others just lay down and give up. Too good of a year for Claude to not have a great game at some point in this series. Whether thats tonight or not we'll see..but I do expect his line to have a great game at some point

 

[PattyLafontaine]

72.9% win rate for home team in game 2 up 1-0

Hope the Flyers can come up with something here, but not holding my breath.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

this game will be much closer than the first one for sure. Not counting Philly out just yet. I'm not even comfortable making any type of prediction.

 

[Fire Benning]

Hoping for a closer game.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Jesus. I didn't know Elliot was 0-7 in the playoffs. Ouch

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

hopefully philly makes it more of a game.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

What a start by the black and gold guys

 

[Ignatius]

Philly is desperate to play physical.

 

[Lampedampe]

God dammit, pens are absolutely relentless.

 

[Frenchy]

good pressure from the Pens , they started this game like they played last game.
