Series Thread: The Battle Of Pennsylvania:Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia

[Mangler]

Pens in 6. We will raise one with a 2018 to go with the 2016 and 2017

Prediction:

Game 1: Pens 5 -4 (OT)
Game 2: Pens 5 - 1
Game 3: Pens 5 - 2
Game 4: Pens 5 -4 (OT)

Oh wait that was the regular season...

Anyway I see a beachball series with the Penguins winning in 6.

Ah, the playoffs woodwork.

Pens win if:
- No one gets hurt
- Murray plays to his potential
- They get power plays
- They play their game

Philly wins if:
- Elliott forgets he is Brian Elliott and/or doesn't get told it's the playoffs
- They can play disciplined and keep the Penses off the power play (looking at you, Gudas)
- They can get Malkin to stab someone with a skate and he gets suspended
- They let their youth ignore the fact that they are supposed to be feeling pressure and just let them play loose

C'mon man, they're playing the Flyers, Philly's penalty box will hold more players than the bench

Over/Under on Crosby's first "request" to a referee (meaning whine): 2.5

Periods, not games


Pens in 5.

Woulda taken the under even if it'd been minutes.

I think my caps are going to have plenty of trouble with the jackets this round and possibly not make it out at all. But if they do make it out, it really would be a pity if they didn't have to face Pittsburgh in the second round. It really wouldn't feel right to have to face the flyers (and we might actually win then...which also would not feel right!) and ensure that Ovi & co never get a chance to exorcize their Penguin demons.

It is a tough thing to say that I am "rooting" for anyone especially with two franchises like this but it won't be right unless it's pittsburgh. Hopefully it's seven as well, to maximize the blood spilt...

Someone please explain to me how the 5 seed is playing the 6 seed in the first round of an 8 team playoff.

Top 3 in each division stay in the division and then the last 2 playoff spots are a "wildcard".

Yeah, I don't like it either.

There is a greater than zero chance of this happening.
the stabbing I mean, not the suspension.

Remember folks, a hero is just a sammich (or is that a gyro?) - In any case, I'll go with Konecny on the Flyers and Rust on the Pens.
