Fallout from Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Flyers

Follow me on Twitter @JohnToperzer

With an extremely busy day on tap and my head still reeling from Sunday's fiasco, I pose the following questions to the readership.


1. How many games will the Penguins win against the Flyers in this series?

2. Is Sidney Crosby’s explanation of his actions Sunday credible because it’s “playoff hockey?” Would Sunday’s scenario played out any differently had it been the regular season? Should Crosby received the benefit of the doubt within the context of playoff hockey?

3. Who is on the Penguins’ chopping block heading into the offseason – provided they don’t become the fourth team in history to win four straight (as the Flyers did against Boston in 2010)?

4. Does anyone on the Pens deserve a raise?

5. Are the Flyers this good or are the Penguins that bad?

6. Do you think the Pens would be down three nil against a different opponent? Should the league make a change to reward teams that finish second in conference points yet play the team with the third-most points in Round 1?

7. How has the quarterfinals matchup impacted your feeling toward the Penguins? If you were Mario Lemieux, what would you do?
