Rd 1 - Official Series Discussion Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers

[policeradio556]

not ahppy about those first 2 games but I will have faith that pens will bounce back
defence must tighten up though

GO PENS!!!!

As a Flyers diehard fan, I say with confidence the Pens will win game 3 in Philly. We (Flyers) have been atrocious in day/afternoon games this year... Still sticking with the Flyers in 6 though.

If the Pens could figure out how to get the puck out of their own end, rather than turning it over on routine break-out passes, I think they would have won at least one of the first two games.

The Flyers have been playing just awesome though. Going to be tough for the Pens to come back... but still far from over.

My hockey pool won't be happy with a Pens elimination though, lol.

WOW, what a start to the game

[RGM81]

Absolute pandemonium in Philly this afternoon.

3-1 only 12 minutes in. Crosby & Giroux fighting. Game misconducts for Timonen and Letang.

It's definitely getting heated and ugly, and I think the Penguins are on the verge of a meltdown. Fleury can't stop much of anything right now.

[RGM81]

Asham with an absolutely disgusting play.

People talk all the time about certain fans & media allegedly "wanting to take hitting out of the game" - that's a perfectly clean bodycheck and doesn't merit jumping a guy in response.

Good on the refs for throwing him out.

This one's going to be out of control.

[RGM81]

OK not quite a perfectly clean hit - was indeed charging. But that response was absurd and he definitely merited the match penalty for intent to injure.

Horrible cheap shot by Asham. This series continues to be absolutely insane.

Agreed...Asham needs fines and booted from the playoffs for that. Schenn has been a scumbag most of this series but using the stick as a weapon just has no place in the game whatsoever.

Letang getting tossed doesn't help our chances but for whatever reason we just lay down for Philly and refuse to play a full game so its a formality anyway. I don't even see the series making it back to Pittsburgh.

if you cant beat them on the ice...just beat their faces in with your fist....

fleury needs a wake up call...wonder if Disco Dan puts in Johnny in the 2nd
