GDT: ECQF Game 1|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers|An ode to our old friend!

[LOGiK]

Philly has no shots in over 7 minutes of power play time? LOL

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[KIRK]

Phil is Phil's fault right now. Sheahan isn't with him on the PP.

Scary to think of what the score would be if early season Phil were here.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The woo birds are out

We deserve to lose now.

 

[KIRK]

Number one positive in this game is that Penguins came out ready with some aggressive hockey and stay disciplined..


Other big positives is Jake,Crosby, Rust Dumoulin, Geno and Murray ... Great Pk...some of the fourth line..
probably forgot some other names as well.

Letang was ok.. play ok smart hockey for now..
They happens to play this way.. stay team ready with team unit d no sloppy hockey .. no ****ty pp either..

Letang was better than okay going into this period. A lot better.

Philly can't have Phil killing them.

You better play ball hockey on Friday.

Only on Wednesdays. Game 4 is next Wednesday, we're good

How are we looking defensively? Better? How is Brassard doing?

Like I said with Kirk, his line never even got started from the drop of the puck tonight. The other lines were rolling and his wasn't. By the time the PP's' came around he wasn't into the game while the other guys were. It caused a disjointed mess. I can't remember too many shifts where Brassard and Kessel looked good together. And not just tonight either.

I'm not really paying attention to the Jets game though.. it's just on in the background and I tune in during commercials for the pens

It takes too much effort to watch two games in the post season. You can do it when there is a 7pm game and 730pm game cause they rotate perfect between intermission and play.
I can't do two at the same time though. Lessens enjoyment.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

if we go up 3-0 in the series.. Tickets to game 4 are going to be dirt cheap.. I think I would 100% have to go.

Brass has looked excellent.

Defensively, the forwards flipped the switch.

And Murray has been there when there's been a breakdown.

 

[ColePens]

Murray has just eaten the puck alive tonight

 

[Andy99]

Jokes aside, they SHOULD be better, more engaged. That's how it tends to work with a team that loses game 1. Not always, of course . . .

Wasn’t there some stat from last year’s POs that the team that blew out one team in a series came back and lost the next game, or something like that

 

[Ugene Magic]

Were there that many Flyer fans there or have a lot of peeps left... A game like this one.

 

[vodeni]

It's more than that. Phil has had a rough one on the PP too.

I think they will have to manage where to put him so when he is not playing well exerts the least amount of damage and drag some guys down...i.e. he must play with one combo that hustles a lot and can keep the control of the puck regardless of F3

 

[PensandCaps]

Still can't believe we have Derrick Brassard as our 3C....

 

[Bingo71]

Good luck buddy. I’ll send flowers...

Great news. We gotta sustain that for the next two months.

Game 2 will be key. They will come out strong.

WIP is going to be fun for the next 48 hours, yes?

Wont wear any Pens gear ;-)

Swagger.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Reminds me of the Pens in 2008. Young team just not ready yet. Yeah I know it is way premature, but if this plays out as most expect the Flyers can take heart with what looks to be ahead for them.
