Dear fucking God, these stupid series threads will be worse than the series. I vote for individual GNTs

So what happens Sat?
You think some players sit?
Back up goalies?
Or do they go all out and set the tone

I'd play everyone. Suit up Shitty and have him take care of unsettled business. Time to set the tempo going into playoffs. The bullshit ends Saturday. Do what you got to do. Retribution. Vitale and Asham are really the two guys who were absolute douchbags. Granted, the Pens have several.

Asham I get. But are we still upset about Vitale? If he lays off that hit he shouldn't be playing hockey.

As to the original question, I think Fleury rides the bench, but rest of lineup remains the same. You don't take away Malkin's chance at 50.

About when would game 1 take place?

Playoffs start the 11th, so then or maybe the 12th

I really think that whoever wins Saturday losses game 1. The reason I believe that is because it instills false overconfidence. The coaches are gameplanning for the final game of the season, the players are playing playoff hockey. Once those gameplans get adjusted, the 'wounded' team will fight harder. Either way, this matchup should be happening in the third round, so we're all given an early gift.

Btw, game 1 will probably be on the 11th.

If the league wants to go with an every other day series Game 1 should be Wednesday. The CEC is booked on Saturday the 14th due to the Pittsburgh Power game...

I wanna hit people. I'm so jacked up right now.

My alcohol intake is going to skyrocket for this.

I think the flyers will rest Timonen. Everyone else goes at full force I think. Pedal to the metal time.

My alcohol intake is going to stay the same. I'm stoked.

I wish I could consume alcohol...*sigh* Is it odd that I sort of want the Pens to lose on Saturday?

Saturdays game went from super exciting to completely meaningless in a matter of minutes last night. Can't we just not play it? Both these teams need the extra rest going into this bloodbath.

Alcohol. Yes. This is the time of year I up my water intake during the day to help my liver out a little.

God, I love the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I really hope they dont schedule the Bruins/Sens games on the same nights as the Pens/Flyers.
