Who the hell are we rooting for in Detroit vs. Columbus, anyway?
- AllInForFlyers


Kings tie the game. Root for Columbus. Detroit makes the playoffs, and gets Datsyuk, and Zetterberg back they are a tough out.

Every team in the East has a flaw. Boston is the most complete, but they can be beaten.
- PLindbergh31


What do you see in Boston?

I swear, I've looked...the only thing I see is that their defensemen might not hold up against a really physical team

I kinda thought they were slow, at one point, but that's not true

Exactly it. The health of their blueline.

When he connects for sure. But Ovechkin and Stamkos are in a class all their own in shooting the puck.
- MJL

Never said they weren't. Stammer and Ovi are the best in the game at scoring, for sure.

I do feel like Giroux has an underrated shot though

Chara is going to be logging 30 minutes. They are going to be tough. I think they're the favorite to win the whole thing

Not to mention Nyquist, that kid is incredulous right now.

On fire. They have 7 regular forwards out of their lineup. The fact there still in the mix is a testament to the type of Organization they are.

They're ferocious as a team. They play as well defensively as any team in the League. As well as being a top offensive team.

Wow... Caps melting down.... Haven't checked the boxscore. How many goals has OV been on the ice for? Maybe he does suck.

They're the most complete team I've seen -- they're just...you kinda have to try to wear Chara down, but they can score more effectively than they could last year.

They can turn on the offense and eff you up just as fast as they can lock you down -- and make no mistake, they can lock squads down

I think they are the clear cut favorite in the East. There are 3 or 4 teams from the West that can beat them.

Ha! He's a -1 -- looks like their second line has screwed them over

Do you like St. Louis? I actually agree with MJL -- stop the presses, folks -- that their offense just might not be good enough, especially with Tarasenko out

Two-minute penalty, but a lot of Twatters are calling for a suspension.
- BoomGoesTheCoburn


Just went back and watched, he swung his stick like a bat, hit Ho-Sang in the back of the head. Hard to get a clear image of it.

These are the best I can get

The advantage they have is being able to shelter Chara before the playoffs. They don't have to overuse him in these final games. He'll be fresh.

Flyers will be relying on Coburn and Timo a lot leading up to the playoffs.

That's a great point

Damn, they're going to be a REALLY tough out
