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

[Bizzle McDizzle]

damn, this games at noon?


shit, there goes my Sunday

I booted them upstairs so I could watch the Rangers game last night (grumble grumble), but a noon start may blow my plans for today.
Mizzy Bizz wants to do a "family movie" on this rainy ugly Sunday... I better bookmark th 3pm+ showtimes for her now or I'm screwed.

[Bizzle McDizzle]

[MISKO]

IM more nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

 

[Dacks]

Damnit... the only thing I liked about a noon game was I assumed I would wake up 5 minutes before and not have to sit through hours of pre-game jitters. Why did I wake up so early???

 

[BF4L]

Lets go Flyers end this thing.

This shit ends today! Time to move on. I was actually more nervous last game than I am for today. I guess it's like whatever and see this team play with more fire. I think the Flyers are finally pissed that they haven't put away these guys yet. Should end today. I think Grossman may play today. That is huge if he can go.

Flyers 5, Pens 3, empty netter to seal it.

 

[Dacks]

So, how does everybody feel about their team scoring first?

I'll be happy if the Pens do... in OT.

 

[Dacks]

Dapper Dan knows what his team has to do tonight.

Sounds about right . If only Staal takes the day off. I think MAF buckles today. As for Crosby, did anyone see that hit he took last game from teammate Malkin? I don't care what you say, that hurt him because he wasn't the same after that.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I never realized how BIG, Bylsma's head was.

The Flyers have enough vets on team to keep the rookies in check. Play your game and try to stay disciplined and we should be fine. My only concern is we have to be able to score at even strength. We may not get that many PPs especially with this series nearing the end of series. Probably less calls today. Just my gut!

Yep, definitely worried about the Croz. He wasn't braced for the Malkin helmet-to-helmet and his head snapped back.

When he's good, he's good early, so we'll probably know if he's at 100% within the first ten minutes or so.

Looking forward to the game, but first I have to pick up the fixings to a submarine sandwich. Generally I go with Vienna bread, but I think I'm going to mix it up today.

 

[raptorlife4]

Gonna be crazy today. Stakes are raised. Flyers need to show they have close out power. I expect Briere to have a monster game. He always comes up big when we need him.

Except on that Winter Classic penalty shot

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Speaking of the winter classic, if the series ends today, will Crosby ask his team not to do the handshakes and break with tradition like he did against the Caps?

:ss:

Except on that Winter Classic penalty shot

So he missed in a regular season shootout? Mehh


Id rather him perform when it counts:ss:
