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

[Darkstone42]

Look, I know you saw the Flyers give up a bunch of goals in the first four games, but beleaf me when I tell you that this team is tired of their defense being cut down like so much timber. They are going to go back to the roots of what qualified them for the playoffs - a stout defense, standing tall, weathering the storm Pittsburgh brings. They might bend, but they won't break. The Flyers defense has lumbered so far in this series, but now they will expose the rot at the core of the Penguin offense.

I know you are pining fir a comeback in the series, but it won't happen (knock on wood).

I wood rep you twice for wedging so many lumberjack and tree puns into one post if I were allowed and you weren't a Flyer fan. I saw the first one, but I didn't foresee so many more. You were on fire.

whats the over/under?

5 drinks before I even begin to relax.

No wait, did I say 5? I meant 15.

 

[naslundfan19]

whats the over/under?

2-1

 

[Dacks]

So, can Pittsburgh approach this game like they did the last one? Or are they already looking ahead to Game 6? That's the big question. (That and will anybody play defense / stop a puck)

This game is going to end 1-0. Pipe lock monkey wrench. BOOK IT.

STATEMENT GAME, to be fair.

We keep waiting for that low-scoring game, and it just keeps not happening.

I'm saying 5-4, Neal with the gwg.

 

[GagneFire12]

I'm still saying the score will be one-neal.

 

[4thstreet]

I'm still saying the score will be one-neal.

I say there will be a Fleury of goals
5-3 Flyers

I'm still saying the score will be one-neal.

Does this mean Neal gets the one goal?

Wow, surprised the Pens are -190, Flyers were -120 at home.

Ceasars Windsor Casino here has it at +180 Flyers,so $200 bet down.
They're 7-1 overall in Pitt's new home so I'll go with the odds.

With those kind of odds, you'd have to think the fix was in for Pittsburgh in this one.
