Montreal has outscored Philly in 4 games and is down 3-1.
6-5...but I mean, that's only because of that 5-0 blow out.
You take that 1 game out and it's so far - 4-1

Flyers are playing with a semblance of structure, outside of that blowout game, they've played to their system and have been playing the chess the Habs were playing.My point still stands. Flyers are lucky as f***. We had none. Partially because of reasons I am sure you will list.
Did Marleau even play here? Like ever? I noticed Connor Sheary and not when we busy falling on his face like a drunken monkey in a space helmet.
Miro Satan was what, 34-35yrs old when he joined the Pens?I mean dare I say it but Tanner Glass and Craig Adams were more effective and contributing to the Pens than Marleau. At least they could both kill penalties well.
Marleau was just one of the biggest limp dicks I’ve seen get a spot in the lineup in decades on this team. How he got a pass to continue to get a spot in the lineup let alone the 3rd line was mind boggling.
We're in agreement on Sully, I promise, but they're just not a good team on top of that, imo. Again, I would've canned Sully with the assistants and think that him sticking around for one more year of the tired old bullshit is going to go a long way toward wasting one of the last few precious years of The Big 3.@Big Friggin Dummy
Mate it's clear as day he lost the room last year in the playoffs. This year they didn't even care enough to pretend they cared.
Ok here's the thing about JJ, if you absolutely must play him, why wouldn't you stick him with Marino which worked for a good part of the season. Then you scratch that even bigger dumpster fire Schultz and go Pettersson-Riikola 3rd pair.We're in agreement on Sully, I promise, but they're just not a good team on top of that, imo.

Could a different coach have gotten us past Montreal? Sure, absolutely. Simply not dressing JJ-Schultz would probably have done that, in all honesty. But we'd have just gotten massacred in the 1st round by whoever we faced. I look around the NHL and every single team I see playing would laugh us out of the arena.
And yes, I remember their regular season record. People keep bringing that up as if it means anything come playoff time.

Yes because of game 2. Otherwise, Philly has played a structured game. Montreal has no answers. This series definitely reflects poorly on the Pens coaching staff. No doubt about it.
A 100 f***ing % mate.Yes because of game 2. Otherwise, Philly has played a structured game. Montreal has no answers. This series definitely reflects poorly on the Pens coaching staff. No doubt about it.
It kind of does though mate. Philly came with a plan and have adjusted to the habs accordingly.This series has nothing to do with the Pens coaching staff.
Last series against the Pens was clearly one of the worst coaching performances of the Crosby era.

Pens didn't. Pens played like they didn't need to the same way Bylsma used to do that "grind em bitches down and stick to our game" is now Sullys "stick-toitiveness and play our game"...
Philly can't really answer the speed but they've kept a lot of chances to the outside. Mate, it's ok to admit the flyers are playing a more structured game than the Pens. Because they are. Doesn't mean it's leaps and bounds better. It's literally the usual AV style that gets him to the 2nd or 3rd round before he gets murdered.Is Philly’s plan being out chanced and counting on Montreal’s ability to not finish get them through?
Because that is certainly a plan.

I think Philly is being outplayed as I said.
Hockey is a game of luck and people are trying to act like a simple change to our system would’ve beat Monteal.
True. But....was there ANY change. At some point during a series or hell even a game, when you aren't getting results you gotta do SOMEthing.
Sullivan has JMFJ out in the last five minutes.
Like...bro. That's tanger and dumo/marino getting more ice time..EZ decision
There ain't no excuse to do ANYTHING except that. Just like it should be Sid and Geno lines double shifting. Like. f***.

Looked like shit and trying to change and adapt is better than looking like shit and being too ignorant and not changing shit to fight back.You seem to think I'm saying the Penguins did the right things against the Canadiens.
They didn't. That doesn't change the fact that Philadelphia has looked like shit.

All any of us wanted was Sully to change things but he made the wrong decisions and the players just finally said f*** this.
Mate you're gonna get Mr Goodnight 24 cups to come in and do his spiel again.Once again. I am not arguing this point.
As we saw again tonight, Montreal has been the better team against Philly.
