Big boy Geno the Ogre is out of the lineup. Please welcome Carter Rowney, manager at Home Depot, who will be subbing in.

 

[ColePens]

Should be nervous playoff hockey. Flyers are the one team who I always felt could make a run if they were against a big deficit. The team was streaky all year and relies on confidence. I felt like the Pens gave them Game 5 by the SHG mistake and turning the puck over. Kessel/Letang had 7 giveaways on the stat sheet which probably means they had closer to 14.

As confidence grows for the Flyers I think you will see the more-attacking Philadelphia Flyers than the passive one we've seen so far. So let's see what happens! I would not be surprised by a Game 7. I've stuck to this all along by saying Philly is the most inconsistent but streaky team. Don't want to hand them confidence, and the Pens did.

 

[PaulaMesser]

My goodness, if they win today

Malkin's a true GTD.

I think this is a pretty good analysis of the Flyers. I don't think Philly is as bad as the blowouts indicated (no team should be that bad). They do seem to falter a bit when they lose their confidence (which seems to happen more than other teams). Going back to Game 3, they looked great until Pitt totally demoralized them with the first goal.

Scoring first seems to be quite a big deal for us in this series -- we'll see. Game 7 would be great and a shock for me, but I don't have high hopes we (Philly) come out of this round.

And if we do: Hakstol gets to keep his job...eff.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Malkin's a true GTD.

Wow so possibly no Provorov or Malkin.

Sucks when injuries ruin all the fun.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Wow so possibly no Provorov or Malkin.

Sucks when injuries ruin all the fun.

(if this thing goes to 7) How will the Flyers' top pairing of Hagg-Gudas handle the high-powered Brassard line?

 

[SniperHF]

Bump

 

[GirouxCouturier]

Been extremely busy lately can anyone update me on all injury statuses?

 

[Rygu]

Hoping Penguins win, but also wouldn't mind at seeing a game 7 between these two teams.

 

[islesfan186]

Wow so possibly no Provorov or Malkin.

Sucks when injuries ruin all the fun.

PIT will just have to console themselves with Crosby, Kessel, Guentzel, Hornqvist, Brassard, etc.
They went from insanely dangerous to very dangerous. Lol

 

[Bumpus]

It ends today.

LGP!

 

[NHL Dude 120]

As a Sens fans it benefits Ottawa for the Pens to be out as early as possible. So no offense but Philly's gotta win

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Giroux hat trick. You read it here first.

 

[OVrocks]

7-0 flyers Neuvirth with a hat trick and shutout

 

[nole]

Gonna say 4-3 Flyers to force game 7.

 

[domaug]

MiamiScreamingEagles has some of the nicest GDTs I've ever seen. Fantastic.

 

[3074326]

10-3 Pens

100 PIMs or so

 

[ColePens]

Geno out, Philly. There is your series bounce. Now you have to make us pay.

 

[KIRK]

 

[hockeykicker]

 

[KIRK]

Door opened wide for the Flyers.

 

[domaug]

no excuses now, Flyers. you managed to take out another one of the Pens' top players yet again (albeit inadvertently this time).

if you can't win tonight, just go away.

 

[flyersfan018]

Let’s gooooo
