++++++++++++ Jake Guentzel: Insane. He had one shift that completely took over the game. He was so dominant. It's not even his goals, it's everything else. So dominant. That shift completely took over the game. Jake was the hero we needed to step up. Wow.

++++++ Sid: Also took over in this game. I am running out of words. Sid lived up to his hype and more.

++++ Maatta: Best and only defender I will give a plus to. Had an extra jump in his game. His outlets were crisp. He was joining the rush.

+++ Sheahan: Great Jordan Staal-like game by Sheahan. Faceoffs, PK, offense, etc. Really great stuff by Sheahan.

++ Sully: Look... it may not show tonight but trusting Mur for the 3rd period was a gamble that may pay off in the next round. He trusted Mur, when he shouldn't have, and we won the game. That is a gamble. And that gamble might restore confidence in #30. Confidence we need.

+++++++++++++ Team defense: When Mur struggled, the team defense shut down the Flyers in the 3rd period. Most notably Sheahan/Sid. Sid made a play early in the 3rd that was mindnumbing backcheck/hustle. And he blocked the shot and got us an outlet. That team defense restored Mur's confidence even the slightest.




----- Injuries: Dammit. Exactly what we needed to avoid. The playoffs is all about luck and we need Hags/Geno back. We need Kessel/Horny at full health. We need Mur at full health.

- Defense: I'm going to leave it at that. Pathetic by Letang. Pathetic by Schultz. Dumo had an inconsistent game.

 

[Gumbercules]

Not how I would have drawn it up, but oh well.

PK is star number 1.

 

[Ryder71]

9th consecutive playoff round victory, ties a franchise record!

 

[Tom Hanks]

Nice 3rd period.

- to me I predicted a 6-5 win. Damn you Jake.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

8 goals without Malkin and without Hagelin for half the game, not bad

It seems bad to characterize an entire city/fanbase as pieces of garbage, but the evidence is pretty overwhelming.

 

[Finesse]

Surprised these two teams can even have a handshake line.

--- Losing 62

 

[Slaaapshuter]

This was such an ugly game with a bit of beauty thrown in here and there (mainly Guentzel).

A win is a win though, I'll take it.

 

[Gurglesons]

Who cares about plus or minuses?

We f***ing win. Take that naysayers on the Pens board.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Got it done now it’s a fresh start again.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

---------------Couturier

Flyers fans better never talk about diving again.

 

[EightyOne]

Jake to Flyers:

Horrible refs. Pens got away with stick infractions all night. Flyers got away with murder. Murray kinda sucked a bit. Lucky game.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Eat shit, Philly. Oh wait, that's only when you win. LOL

+ Sid, Jake, Horny, Dumo, Sheahan
+ Watching the Flyers, Giroux and Couturier especially, diving
- Sheary, the power play, Murray
------ Letang, get him off this f***ing team this summer

 

[Common Sense]

I need a shower.

 

[Pancakes]

This is the one team I couldn't live with losing a series to, so now I can truly breathe easy.

If Cbj/Wsh beats us....so be it. But not the Flyers.

 

[Ryder71]

++++ JAKE
+++ Sid's line
+++team resilence

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Jake is a playoff legend. The team picked up Murray. Sid was Sid. Maatta had a very very very clutch game.

Now, time to regroup and hopefully get Mean Gene back.

 

[The Old Master]

12! that's 12 more wins we need!....ha...ha...ha

 

[Finesse]

--- Letang

 

[Turin]

They won an elimination game without Malkin. It was lit.

 

[SirBrad]

I knew the Penguins weren't done scoring after 3 but I didn't expect 5 more. Great job getting things done. Killing that 4 on 3 changed everything.

 

[Bnat66]

Be funny if Phil picked up one of those beers, chugged it and toasted the crowd.

 

[Hank Plank]

What the hell was that??????????????????

Oh well a win is a win moving on.

 

[Beauner]

If you combine the knowledge of every Philadelphian, they might be able to get a below average score on the SAT

[Clare2904]

All is good except Letang and Rowney

If you combine the knowledge of every Philadelphian, they might be able to get a below average score on the SAT

I wonder if Letang was born in Philly...
