(5) Philadelphia Flyers vs (4) Pittsburgh Penguins Round 1: There will be blood

[pixburgher66]

No idea how Kubina got off with the same amount as Cooke...who held a guy's stick and got hit in the face a few times. Cool? And Flyers fans, calm down, we're allowed to enjoy one win, mmkay?

I taught.

Then I came back, and I turned on the feed for the game, which was at commercial.

And it had a list of scores.

Around the ad, I saw Phi... and ...10.

I was like, "No, that's not right. That can't be right."


It was.

What is this series?

playoff hockey dark ..

 

[MISKO]

[Darkstone42]

Well.


I'm going home.

 

[awaz]

Ouchhh that one hurts.

Still 3-1, get to play in our true home Friday. Should be fun, fully expect another high scoring game.

EmptyNetters tweeted something I agree with completely:

The Pens may not win the series, but they just did a whole lot to restore some dignity to the franchise.

EDIT: 12k!

Well at least you have something to hold your hat on in the off season:nonod:

From a dignity point of view, I'm just glad the Pens won a game, and go to silence the Philly crowd at least once.

Going forward, the goals were nice, but more importantly, Fleury was on point after a rough start. After that first goal, I thought he was done. But if he can play like he did in the 2nd (when the game was still close) the Pens might see a game 6.

Still don't like our penalty kill, but at least we looked better 5 on 5.

Also, kudos to the Flyers for keeping composed (Rinaldo whatever, wasn't even that bad) and to the refs for just handing out misconducts. It was overkill, but the right thing to do.

I mean, that's basically what I meant by that. There's something positive to take from this debacle. No matter how it ends at this point.

 

[pixburgher66]

Fleury: "It felt good to not give up 26 goals in one period."

Hahahah, I'm pretty sure that's what all the involved goalies have felt this series.

 

[Dacks]

Really hoping Brzy goes into super-low-confidence-mode for the next game.

Also, Pens chances in Game 5 may rest on whether or not Depres plays over Martin again. #pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

 

[MISKO]

dont we get neal and adams back too ?

 

[Dacks]

dont we get neal and adams back too ?

Yep. I might play Tangradi over Adams though.

Man, could you just see Neal scoring the gwg in Game 5? Flyer nation would lose it...

 

[MISKO]

it aint over yet .. and the pens aint sunk yet ,, just got off to a crappy start.. yea but if adams plays might draw some penalties in our favor

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Lol Okay if you say so,lol, lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

Uh oh... Somebody is a little nervous..... LOL!!!!.....go pens

 

[pixburgher66]

Martin won't play, Tangradi will. Adams will too though. Don't underestimate his importance.

Nicklas Grossmann has an upper-body injury and is day-to-day.

Wasn't his pre-playoff injury lower? And I didn't notice his exit...
