OT: Around the NHL - PLAYOFF TIME!

[Turin]

I find it weird that teams are resting their best players and seem more interested in playing Bos/TB or Washington than they do the Pens.

I mean, I get the Pens are back to back champs, but the don't look that great this season. Why would you intentionally tank tonight's game and end up playing Bos/TB or Washington rather than a shaky Pens club? Is our playoff aura that great now?

The Pens are exhausting to play. We watch them and take it for granted.

I wonder if the Flyers have yet figured out showing a video of Kate Smith from over 40 years ago isn't going to will them to another Cup?

Only one team employs Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel. It seems pretty simple to me.

He never misses a chance to cry to the refs when he gets scored on.

 

[Andy99]

Wow the Rags are bad...I don’t see them having any chance of threatening to score all game....

they missed 2 empty nets!

Exactly...if you can’t score when the net is empty, wtf....

Worked in the game clinching Stanley Cup final

This picture WILL never get old

 

[Shady Machine]

Wow Rangers are awful

 

[Shady Machine]

Ew 100 points for Giroux.

 

[Turin]

Ew 100 points for Giroux.

With how high scoring this year is Crosby hitting less than 90 points in 82 games is pretty annoying.

he would've easily had 100 if he didn't dog it till about new year.

Yep...Elliott’s going to get a shut out and think he’s played fantastic even though he’s been way too far out of the net and too aggressive...good times if we them next week...

 

[Shrimper]

Well this game looks done. Does this currently place the Flyers in the #3 spot?

yep and as of writing 3-0 game set and playoffs for the flyers

and all of a sudden 4-0

 

[Shrimper]

Nearly 5 past Lundqvist

 

[Andy99]

Two more goals for Giroux...he ended the season as I was hoping Geno would but didn’t unfortunately....let’s hope G can raise the CS trophy instead....

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Well this game looks done. Does this currently place the Flyers in the #3 spot?

Yup. And CbJ/NJ will politely say no thanks tonight.

Pitt vs Philly in round 1.

 

[JakeNBake59]

18 shots to 5 in the second period

31 to 12 after 2

 

[PensPlz]

Flyers - Bruins would be fun to watch at least.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Flyers - Bruins would be fun to watch at least.

Flyers likely end up the Pens' opponent with both New Jersey and Columbus sitting their key guys tonight and possibly losing because of that.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I am a little uncertain. The Pens this year haven't been as composed as the previous 2yrs under Sullivan. This might be a series that unravels the Pens or it unites them into finally playing like a team consistently again.

 

[KIRK]

Yeah, because everyone knows you win the cup in November.
