Finally some good hockey for a change. Dayum entertaining. Those dudes gotta be dead. The lazy Russian Malkin woulda quit after the 1st OT, koach, I hurt, no play, hurt. Now Root against Caps and hope for good games. And yeah wife from Philly,can’t root against them, but yeah Chawie, I won’t be upset.. just sayin’

I like the Flyers to win it all. Watched all three of their round robin games, and they look to be head and shoulders above the rest of the league. They are fast, physical, they can score and finally have what appears to be competent goaltending. They are gonna be a tough out. I fully expect them to completely ragdoll Montreal.

Can't believe I actually wrote that. Gonna go shower now.

Honestly, I fear the Flyers will win the Cup because as Sarge pointed out. Saying that, I will be content with ANY other East team to win it.. Yes, WASH, BOS, TB. . . have at it. Just no Philly. They are the NHL Ravens to me.

Guess Crosby is good with Sully’s system? He stays.

Cater Hart has been real good and was stellar tonight!

How about the Isles! 4 unanswered against Caps! And as always **** Boston

I thought it richly ironic to hear the Caps complain about Lee's hit on Backstrom after the **** Tom Wilson does.

Wilson and Lee battled it out. It was over and then Lee got the last laugh!

Pens - I think Malkin, Murray and Letang should be moved, while others think they are elite. Move away from Shultz, Johnson, Sheary, and Marleau, Get some muscle, speed and fundamental players

there are "reports" that Murray could be moved for Andersen in TOR.

Also, Letang will be moved. The Pens want to trade a piece of the core and #58 is the one that will go.

Take it for what it's worth. Still early to talk about trades, but is interesting. Shultz, Johnson, Sheary and Marleau will be gone.

As frustrating as Letang is to watch. The guy shoulders a ton of minutes.
Idk. I’m on the fence with this one at the moment.

Sure he plays a ton of minutes, but are they quality minutes? Not in the last few years.

At least one player isn't feeling the playoff atmosphere and isn't all too worried about the results:

Well, Montreal absolutely kicked Philly’s *** today. Didn’t see that coming. At all. Weren’t the Habs major sellers at the deadline? Sheesh. They could easily be up 2-0 in n this series.

Not new for the franchise in recent years
Always get the upset in first rounds when high seed
Then they’ll meet a real team and get crushed

Caps down 3-0 makes me joyful! Ovie sitting on the bench crying and confused reminds of Ravens fans as Henry ***** slapped them all over the field. Hart and the pipes keep Philly ahead. ******* Boston, Rask opts our and there is Halak. Rooting for Columbus and Canes.

Isles got it done tonight. #FALLCAPS

Hard to believe it but they actually looked as bad as the Pens did at times....

Some teams not dealing with the bubble very well and they say teams like the Isles are thriving in it.

The Pens have re-acquired Kasperi Kapanen in exchange for a 2020 1st rounder.
