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

[OregonDucks]

Flyer fans.....have some faith in your teams ability to hold onto a 3 goal lead.

This I would agree with. I mentioned this prior to the game if Pens fans were concerned. I have to believe Sid is playing with an injury. Not too mention he has been clocked a few times today. He's not the same.

He looks tentative. Not going hard to the net with the puck. Preferring to pass.

Might also be fatigue, but I could say that for all the Pens. They were second to the puck all period.

They keep touting the potential Caps victory as a "massive" upset. Does anyone really think that would be? The Caps were really hot coming into the playoff and have as much talent as anyone. They just had an off regular season and a couple of bad injuries (Backstrom, Green). I didn't really fear anyone coming into the playoffs. The Caps have been really good against the top of the East this year. Am I just a homer?

No I am the homer remember?

It's not all that surprising. Bruins are the Cup champions, Hunter is a rookie coach, you lost both goalies, but have a young stud who is playing above and beyond what most of us would believe. Holtby has been stellar this series. Should you advance, he is the series MVP. Don't count out the Bruins just yet.

20 minute for glory.

The Niskanen penalty obviously the memo from Bylsma to the team to not take stupid penalties didn't make it from his hand.

 

[OregonDucks]

you got 12 minutes to score 3.

 

[Darkstone42]

That's not a good place to lose your edge, Neal.

 

[quoipourquoi]

tick tock.

 

[Jared]

Pens have given up. Timmonen should have been punched in the face, no one even looked his way.

 

[OregonDucks]

good save.

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

looks like its over...I'll wait a couple of minutes to offer congratulations

 

[grayghost668]

[JMlion71]

Coburn in box.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was a great defensive play by Letang.
