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

[pghin08]

This is an Amber Alert for Paul Martin: Tall and lanky with blonde hair. Enjoys making irresponsible defensive plays and eating Egg McMuffins. May be frail and frightened when discovered, as he's been thoroughly undressed by the city of Philadelphia. Be sure to speak in calm tones, as anything loud may rattle him.

I can't tell you how mad I am at the performance in the 2nd and 3rd. I don't even know what Bylsma was thinking in the 3rd. To make matters worse, in OT they all stood around and watched the plays happen.

Pens achillies heal is the defense and it showed again. I'd scratch Martin every game. He is terrible and could not chase down a turtle.

They lose next game and it's over.

Speak of the devil, my buddy and I were just discussing the abomination of a player that he is. He is abysmal.

What a comeback! The Pens are going to have to learn how to hold onto a lead against these Flyers if they wanna have a chance.

Wow I can't believe the Pens collapsed and blew the game after leading 3-0! That was a brutal missed offside call but the Pens still can't lose after leading 3-0. They needed to go score another on Bryzgalov but didn't.

Yeah, it was a bad call, but that stuff happens. You're right, you can't blow a 3-0 lead no matter what. Our D is going to have to change. Orpik had a good game, but he was about the best D-man out there. Even Letang made a few gaffes.

Martin has been a heal all year for the Pens. I wish they would sit him the rest of the playoffs and let someone like Strait or Despres take his place.

Obviously I am biased, but the Pens D is weak and the Flyers are one of the best forechecking teams in the league. I don't understand why so many people think that the Pens win this series.
If the Flyers are winning games without Giroux getting on the scoresheet, look out!

I'm going to be in King of Prussia on business during the second week of May. I'm still planning on being able to troll Flyers fans about this series while I'm there. Hopefully the Pens can come back, if they can figure out their defensive woes.

Go Pens. Big time game tonight.
