ECQF: (2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (3) Philadelphia Flyers | Pittsburgh Leads Series 3-2

[Jtown]

Lmao. Sure.

Difference is Malkin,Kessel and Crosby don't all play on the same line. Unlike Couts,Vora and G have alot of this year.

All three would be the clear third best playet behind Malkin and Crosby. Not really close.


Konecny and Simmonds are not greater than Guentzel and Hornqvist. I'd give it a wash.

well see giroux and voracek are split.

and kessel has played with malking and crosby enough this year. You know giroux is better than those 3 this year right?

 

[Hobodrifter]

do you not remember playoff giroux? You know the one that did this.

Forgot about that. Was busy remembering playoff Crosby an playoff Malkin lift Stanley Cups, trying to remember the last time playoff [mod] won a playoff series

 

[Fatty McLardy]

giroux, jake Coots= Kessel Crosby Malkin this year

konecny simmons > hornqvist guentzel

linblom and patrici> rust and the rest

ghost> letang
provy> maatta

I would say we have the higher end players.

well then, pens might as well forfeit..

 

[PensandCaps]

Kessel has never played with Crosby and Kessel for the most part hasn't been with Malkin this year.

Try again.


And no Giroux was not better than Malkin this year.

And no he isn't better than Crosby. I suspect that his point totals would look vastly different playing with Sheary,Hornqvist and Guentzel. Than with two all stars in Vora and Couts.


Malkin had a higher PPG than Giroux, while playing with Hags and Hornqvist most the year. How can you even say Giroux was better this year? Lol.

 

[BernieParent]

Lol as a fan of neither team, I want blood. This series should be lit.

I want a 7 game series, mixed in with few brawls

Are you in contact with these characters?

 

[Foppberg]

Outside of my Avs, I am so happy this series came together. Penguins vs Flyers is fantastic hockey.

 

[JeremyTB]

Flyers would have loved to throw the game if it was not for them needing a point to clinch a playoff spot. And by throw it I don't mean trying to lose on the ice but by the coach sitting a bunch of regulars like the Devils did. But Rangers are so horrible, the Flyers would have probally still won easily.

Yup congrats. I hope this year crosby actually leads his team in playoff points instead of being gifted another conn smythe at the expense of malkin and kessel.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

I honestly don’t, that was so long ago.

 

[Jtown]

well then, pens might as well forfeit..

i was thinking that myself, a bold move on their part really. It would be an unsual strategy that is for sure.

 

[M2Beezy]

Pens in 6 but thisll be a hell of a series

This is an ironic post considering Giroux hasn’t played with Voracek for some time now.

I think I can live with it. Congrats on your cup win, in 1975

 

[Jtown]

well fortunately you're going to get a reminder

I know. But he is one of his most common linemates this year. IIRC, Konecny is with G.

 

[Jtown]

voracek was with giroux 30 percent of the year. Kessel has been with Malkin over 50 percent of the year.

 

[PensandCaps]

voracek was with giroux 30 percent of the year. Kessel has been with Malkin over 50 percent of the year.

Most of Malkins points have come with Hagelin and Hornqvist/Rust.

Kessel and Malkin weren't Working in the first half.

Since the new year, They've been split.

 

[PensandCaps]

Yup congrats. I hope this year crosby actually leads his team in playoff points instead of being gifted another conn smythe at the expense of malkin and kessel.

Crosby had 27 points last year...big whoop he was one off Malkin's 28....Crosby missed TWO games. So he most likely would've lead the Pens in points if healthy.

I'd say he most certainty deserved the CS last year. leader in PPG and drew the toughest matchups. But I guess One measly point is all it takes to disqualify his great Playoff run last year.

 

[Hank Plank]

I hope this year crosby actually leads his team in playoff points instead of being gifted another conn smythe at the expense of malkin and kessel.

This is a recording.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Looking forward to a repeat of 2012.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I'm expecting a bunch of 5-4 games this series, so watch instead we see a bunch of 2-1 games and much frustration from the offensively gifted players on each team.

 

[TMLeafer]

I honestly smiled with excitement when I just saw the Facebook post by NHL about this matchup. Craziness guaranteed.

 

[shtorm2005]

Looking forward to a repeat of 2012.

I think Flyers will try to play clean to not give PP time for Pens. But it won`t last long...
