ECQF Game 6: Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers | 3:00 PM ET | NBC, CBC, TVAS

[MorgantiDrinksBlood]

Here’s my handshake to pens fans, good luck In the rest of the playoffs, you guys tore us up in game 6. Entertaining series, hopefully we pay you back In the next couple of years.

Those beers probably cost like $11 a piece too

 

[Beauner]

Really hard to not despise Philly sports fans with their pathetic behavior at these events. Have some class. Security needs to crack down on people throwing stuff at players.

That'd be like trying to use duct tape to fix the titanic

 

[Sasso09]

Extremely clear penalty missed, one of a dozen egregious non calls

Are you talking that non-penalty on letang when Jake scored his 3rd?
That was not a penalty.

 

[PensandCaps]

You lose by 3 without Malkin...and you blame the refs?

Bahahahaha. Giroux should start off next season suspended a few games

 

[Ugene Magic]

To the faithful Flyer fans who knew this was inevitable, there are plenty of good ones out there.

It was a great season and your kids got some good locks this playoffs.

Out.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Respect to the flyers though, they made this a series. Giroux was awful though and a liability at times.

 

[ncm7772]

Lose with class, philly. Come on. Embarrassing.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Post series talk thread pinned and open.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Lose with class, philly. Come on. Embarrassing.

That's like telling someone not to piss. Good luck with that.

 

[Jtown]

Anyone have a GIF of the "trip"?
I feel like it needs to be discussed more haha

the slew foot?

 

[Loseipeg]

They aren't really all that great of a team this year and they weren't last year; the advanced stats paint a picture of them being a good team that will lose to the TB, BOS, WPG, maybe Nashville types, but their superstars are just something else. Kessel, Crosby, Malkin, Murray, and now Guentzel just come up big in the big games to the point where the Penguins don't really need to be elite defensively, to control play, or to really be the better team; they will win games on the back of superstar performances from those guys. I don't know exactly what Jake Guentzel is but as long as he is playing with one of Crosby, Malkin, or Kessel, he is just as good and just as productive as any player that he plays against.

Nah they got lucky last year. Sens were a bad team and nash didnt have johansen

 

[chethejet]

Pens have been a grinding team and that is their strength. Yes they can look as good or bad as anyone at times. But the real strength is knowing they will win a series as it progresses. Hard to beat them if they are reasonably healthy.

Yep, but the embellishment minor on Couturier wouldn't have been served since the Pens scored a goal.

 

[Devonator]

I had the Pens in six and so this is no surprise to me....but as a Flyer fan, if the couldn't win one game at home and couldn't beat the Pens without Malkin then they deserved fully to lose....

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

As bad as the Letang trip on Couturier was, the game was already over. Take out Guentzel's 3rd goal and Pittsburgh still wins. Philly defeated themselves in the second half of the game.

 

[Icarium]

Remember when neutral fans were complaining that this series was too one-sided and boring?

 

[PensFanSince1989]

Nah they got lucky last year. Sens were a bad team and nash didnt have johansen

...And Penguins didn't have Letang for the entire playoffs....

 

[Juicy Pop]

It ended how I expected but the journey was a bit more miserable than I had feared.

Good job Couts!

Go Capitals/Blue Jackets!

 

[PensFanSince1989]

the slew foot?

in what world is that a slewfoot?

Washington was arguably the best team in the NHL last year. They went into Washington's building for a massive game 7 and shut them out.

They were missing Letang for the entire playoffs. The Predators dominated them in the SCF, I think the Penguins set a record for the longest period of time without a shot on goal in a playoff game with 37 minutes? Yet, the first shot Pittsburgh had, they scored on.

The Senators were obviously terrible though. They definitely got lucky too but give some credit to their superstars.

 

[Jtown]

[YEM]

No surprise at all how awful the refs were in Pitts favor, same as it ever was

 

[robes1]

Giroux laying out Hagelin totally woke the Pens up.

 

[Sasso09]

Provorov is so bad. yikes. 3 times this game turnovers leading directly to goals

Would be your best D by a country mile. He's better hurt than Rielly is healthy
