At least TruTV isn't a name of another sport in the channel name

 

Predicting we will see a repeat of last years finals but the results will go the other way. Think the Preds are out for revenge honestly.

 

 

I agree that the Preds are better than last year, time will tell. They made it in as an 8th seed last year and peaked when it counted. Will be interesting to see how far they go

 

Go Winnipeg!!

 

I worry about the Pens goaltending and defence. Not worried that they can put up points. They lost some pieces I think were key last year in those two areas. Murry will need to be perfect the entire time.

 

Agreed, we def lost some defensive depth, not gonna argue that. It was a miracle that we kept the same team together for 2 years in a salary cap era. As Yummy and I know all too well, once you win the cup you lose valuable pieces to your team to free agency. I agree that their defensive depth isn't what it was last year, but they can still outscore just about anyone. Just hope that Murray can stay healthy given the Flyers propensity to always try and run our goalies in the head every time we play them

 

Back to back in the salary cap era is just amazing. Much respect to the organization for pulling that one off.

If I could pick the Stanley Cup Finals myself I really want to see Vegas vs Penguins or really Fleury vs Murray.

 

So does everyone in Pittsburgh

 

 

 

They left their FLY open...

 

Congrats to Winnilanta on their first playoff win!

 

 

If he's pissed, what do you think of Philly's coach?

 

 

I never expected that out of the Flyers/Pens game. Was hoping for a game like the last one in the regular season that went to overtime. Hopefully Philly decides to show up for a game.

 

The Wild lost. I hate that team.

And anyone watch any of the Knights/Kings game? How was it?

 

They had no answer for the Pens, they had 4 power plays and not a single shot on goal. The Pens definitely looked more like a playoff team than they had the last few weeks, it was good to see :gheywave:

 

I watched the first period, it was entertaining. They sure apply the theatrics in Vegas before the start of the game. I was lucky enough to see a game there in person so I knew about it, but they went WAY over the top for the playoffs lol

 

Haven't watched a home Vegas game yet. I will have to tune in and check that out.

 

Well, round 1 is a tie: Marchand shows that he likes to lick other men and Kadri gets tossed for his horrid hit on Wingels.

 

Nordiques draw first blood in the game...!

 

Hated rooting for the CBJ's last night, but it was nice to see all those a-hole Caps fans leave pissed off and booing their own team

 

What a way to open a series...

 

Kadri

 

Tole you. Bruins in 5.

 

As for Kadri, see ya in a couple games

 

Hitch no longer has the itch: https://www.tsn.ca/stars-hitchcock-r...hing-1.1056076

 

Yet Marchand continues to crosscheck and board people and gets $5000 slaps on the wrist

 

What? He's been suspended from multiple games, multiple times...

 

He's gotten like 3 fines in a row, the last couple weeks when he should have been suspended

 

3 games for Kadri..

 

As I predicted, this series was stupid vs. stupid with Kadri and Marchand...


But, for the next 3 games, it's just Marchand to stupid all on his own.

 

Flyers showed up and are taking it to the Pens so far tonight. 4-1 with 5 minutes to go...if this holds, Flyers got what they set out to do regardless of the Game 1 blowout -- split.

Nice recovery by Philly.

 

Flyers are a young team. They needed that game 1 smack in the mouth to set them straight. Hope they make it a series.

 

If they play like Game 2, they can totally make it a series. Game 1 was just WTFBBQ.

 

Devils are getting -ed good by the Bolts who look darn good...

 

Called this in February. The Leafs will be lucky to not be swept next week.
