[Shockmaster]

Anyone know of any scheduling conflicts at the arena for either Wednesday or Thursday?

 

[Gold Diamond]

Kill.

Philthy.

 

[Treent1]

I wan't sweep

 

[Al Smith]

Hopefully 2018 >> 2012, especially on PK. God that was brutal.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Saw this coming months ago.

Time to step up Murray.

 

[ncm7772]

Just win. Just win.

 

[wheelz87]

I guess be careful for what you ask for.... having said that, THIS is the matchup I wanted. CBJ is red hot and the Devils are a bad matchup for us, even though it's just Hall and not much else really.

Philly has top talent, no denying that. Guy to watch for, other than the obvious ones is Konecny. Dude is slick. But we have no excuse not to take advantage of their D and whichever goalie they choose.

This is gonna be fun.

Also Caps/CBJ. Have fun, Washington!

Meh, playoff Phil > Philly in the playoffs

 

[turd]

Pens in 5.

 

[wgknestrick]

This is by far the luckiest match-up we could have wanted. Even then, unless PIT fixes their 5v5 GF% and PK, this is still a coin toss. The PP can only take this team so far once the refs put the whistles away. CBJ was a nightmare draw and they get to rough up a contender for us.

Not seeing the Flyers winning this year, and I hope it's quick. I admire their stars, and I think they've outdone expectations. But they don't have the horses, or the coach.

So glad they fired Laviolette.

 

[Ryder71]

Pens in 5.

If we play to our abilities that's what I think as well.

 

[JakeNBake59]

yeah I say Pens in 5 as well

Their coach reminds me too much of Mike Johnston.

 

[Gurglesons]

If this goes under 6 I’ll be shocked. It’s Pens Flyers.

 

[Shady Machine]

Pens in 6. Somehow Elliott will get a little hot and Pens struggle to score in Philly.

 

[Pancakes]

They have enough talent to be scary but all things considered this is probably the matchup we wanted most considering we've had success against them and most importantly for me their goaltending is just as shaky as ours.

I have no faith in Murray right now and that's pretty much what it's coming down to honestly.

 

[Pancakes]

Overall in the playoffs I'd agree with that. I think we can get by Philly but only because their goaltending is also ass.

But if we play a team with a good goalie and Murray shits the bed we're done. I don't see Philadelphia as being that team although random goalies get hot all the time in the playoffs so who knows.

You have more faith in Elliott?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I’m warching Avs/Blues game and they just went over playoff matchups and have Pens/Jackets. Flyers/Tampa. They’re wrong?

 

[Andy99]

There’s gonna be a showdown...I think it goes to 6, Pens of course....even Jeff Lynne agrees...
