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

[TheGoldenJet]

Last year they had Kunitz to stand in front of the net and disrupt on the Power Play.

They don't have anyone other than Hornqvist this year that is willing to take that abuse.

We'll see who steps up.

Crosby could play net front, stylistically speaking. Doubt they put him there though, he’d be taking some severe abuse.

Saw something about Crosby closing in on Mario in total points in the playoffs on Nhl.com (one points behind in 40-ish more games played). Looked up the all-time ppg list in the playoffs and saw that Crosby and Peter Forsberg are sitting at the exact same PPG-numbers as of today. Crazy.

9		Sidney Crosby	1987	F	151	61	110	171	73	21	18	0	9	0.404	0.728	1.132
10		Peter Forsberg	1973	F	151	64	107	171	163	54	16	2	14	0.424	0.709	1.132

Don't know which number is what.

 

[Bar Down]

Guentzel was putting in goals constantly last year from in front of the net. Took alot of abuse..kept going. Kid still keeps getting underrated

I love Guentzel. I bought a jersey mid season last year.

I just happen to think a more traditional net front guy is better for our powerplay. Not a shot at Guentzel by any means.

Hornqvist's your guy.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Don't know which number is what.

They've both played 1.132 playoff games and scored 171 points in that time.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Crosby played 1,132 playoff games already? I don't believe that. You mean total number of games?

 

[Rich Nixon]

Crosby played 1,132 playoff games already? I don't believe that. You mean total number of games?

No, 1.132. He's played a little more than one and one eighth playoff games. It was a hell of a run though.

 

[Bar Down]

Hornqvist's your guy.

Let's hope he safely recovers from this concussion ASAP.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

No, 1.132. He's played a little more than one and one eighth playoff games. It was a hell of a run though.

Oh.

Well. Done. lolol I loved this exchange.

Hakstol is playing ten dimensional chess when everyone else is playing Candyland.

 

[Bumpus]

Never change Pens fans, never change.

We're trying not to. #Cuplife

 

[Hank Plank]

Flyers fans booing Crosby makes them look like total fools. Why do they keep doing this.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Hakstol looks like a dentist that you later find out was strangling hitchhikers.

 

[swflyers93]

I'm done until this coach is gone. That's it.

 

[Rygu]

Penguins are about to win their 9th playoff series in a row. That's pretty damn impressive.

 

[Hank Plank]

Hakstol looks like a dentist that you later find out was strangling hitchhikers.

Because he refused to work on their teeth?

 

[crawz87]

Crosby is destroying the Flyers. 5 goals + 4 assists for 9 points in only 4 games. Total domination. They can't figure out how to stop him. And yet Flyers fans still choose to boo him.

Boo'ing is fine, but the ones that chant "crosby sucks" are the biggest dip shits on the face of the earth..

Boo'ing is fine, but the ones that chant "crosby sucks" are the biggest dip ****s on the face of the earth..

Yea I was more so referring to the chant. Should have been more specific. But yea, I thought by now with the way Crosby is toying with the team, the fans would think to stop that ugly "Crosby sucks" chant. Whatever, it only fires up Sid more.

When he needs to be working on his 2D hockey game.

 

[c9777666]

Even Biron wasn’t THIS bad against the Penguins compared to Brian Elliott.

 

[c9777666]

Might as well just go to Mrazek in game 5. Switching goalies kinda helped out the Flyers 2 years ago with Neuvirth and Washington

He can’t play any worse..
