215BroadStBullies610 435 Report post Posted April 11, 2018 Yea, I can't see the Flyers getting swept. Should the Pens win the series? I think so. One must not forget that the Pens have questions in goal and as fantastic as they are at Consol, they are a beatable team on the road. I see this series going to 6 games.

Buzz_LightBeer 969 Report post Posted April 11, 2018 I would’ve taken a bet on “who will be in the playoffs this year? The Blues, OR Elliot, Lehtera and Stastny.” And I would’ve lost a lot of money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marka 526 Report post Posted April 14, 2018 Howdy, Bunch of missed chances by the Pens. Particularly the one Crosby missed at the end of the 2nd period. That goes in 99.5 times out of 100. I don't get the embellishment call on Hornqvist. That seemed blatantly bad. I can't make up my mind on the Giroux hit on Letang. In slow motion it looks like he looks over his shoulder, see's what's going to happen, and then jumps/moves to make the hit harder, but slow motion lies so ?? It'll be interesting to see if the league looks at it. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chippa13 1844 Report post Posted April 14, 2018 The call on Hornqvist was spot on. He made no contact with head and boards and tossed his head back like he had. I immediately called that a flop at the sports bar before any replay. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in the replays I just watched it looked like his head hit the glass. Maybe he sells it a little? I dunno. I still think 2 minutes is bullshit even if he did sell it a bit.

Mark That was a great call by the stripes. If you don't like Hornqvist's penalty, McDonald shouldn't have been called for cross-checking. Both assessed penalties were correct. I was surprised that Hornqvist was called in the first place but no way one can say that wasn't embellishment. At least if you call yourself objective.

Stewie 721 Report post Posted April 15, 2018 The hit on letang looked unavoidable to me. Crosby pushed giroux into letangs path. Even if he does look back, what is he going to do in a split second to avoid a collision while moving backwards? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THAT SAID... they do punish players for accidental high sticking. I wonder if they’ll ever move towards penalizing other accidental plays. Probably too much of a slippery slope to even go that direction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
215BroadStBullies610 435 Report post Posted April 19, 2018 Not surprised by the series record. The better team is winning. What Flyers fans and management need to see is that over-valuing your own players is no good. The likes of Matt Read and Jori Lethera should not be getting ice time in the playoffs. That it isn't ALWAYS the goalie's fault but the fault of those in charge of putting the team together. We'll see what happens in the offseason. Carter Hart MAY be the real thing. He's a prospect until he isn't. Focus on drafting and developing young talent that mimics TODAY'S NHL. Time to wake up and take off the Orange and Black shades...

Machinehead2k5 32 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 What a crazy game 6. The Guentzel vs. Couturier show. Glad the Penguins are moving on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
215BroadStBullies610 435 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 The fact that the Flyers go up 4-2 and end up losing 8-5 just shows the difference between the two teams. On a bum MCL, Couturier shows up when the team needs him the most. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for some of the other "key" figureheads. And to add insult to injury, what's up with the beer can throwers? You've never been to a game where your team loses? And then turn around and give the team a standing-O? Embarrassing if you ask me... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chippa13 1844 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 I wonder if Giroux would have had a DPOS call on the Hagelin hit if the Flyers hadn't been eliminated. He definitely appeared to raise up and obviously Hagelin was leaking from the mouth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
