Appreciate the help for the tank, Flyers are one of the few teams I don't mind cheering for in the playoffs.

Goals in this series will be at a premium. Don't figure there will be many 5-4 type games. Even though the numbers you posted are true, can't afford to put any team on the PP constantly.

I think Rinaldo got a little carried away by his goal and things going too much his way before he went overboard. I think Lappy will make sure he has learnt his lesson

Given Hartnell's boneheaded penalties last two games, I would be just as worried about him. Rinaldo at least draws penalties too.

Yep. I'm sure Rinaldo will get a chance. I hope he stays under control. The Downie ship has sailed. He won't sniff the ice in the playoffs.

I'll be surprised if Downie doesn't play in the playoffs. And I won't be shocked to see him in the lineup in game 1.

Man... now I feel ashamed of myself. I am not capable of cheering for another team if my team isn't it. Screw them. You know?

I can't really get into it. It's more just rooting against the teams I hate more than cheering for anyone else.

I'm positive Downie will be in if he's healthy enough.

Or pretending to care while you cheer at your sisters softball game.

Where you can't wait for it to be over and you're only watching because you have to.

hartnell took a mean two hander to the wrists that precipitated his reaction. rinaldo tried to decapitate a defenseless player for no reason. not quite the same. also, pretty sure hartnell brings way more offensive potential than rinaldo.

The Flyers need Rinaldo in the lineup, IMO.

I wish we could have played you guys in the first round so we could knock you out. Now that pleasure will belong to the Rangers. Oh well.

I have to admit, it takes an irrational amount of confidence to talk trash with that sieve sieve sieve sieve your boys have in the net...and I can respect that.

Kinda like the guy who brings a knife to a gunfight, the Pens are bringing Marc-Andre Sieve to the Stanley Cup playoffs...again.

I mean, what can I say? That's tremendous!

It's not even disputable -- it's amazing that they're going to trot THIS out there:

2012-13 Pittsburgh NHL 5 2 2 - 290 17 145 3.52 .883
2011-12 Pittsburgh NHL 6 2 4 - 337 26 157 4.63 .834
2010-11 Pittsburgh NHL 7 3 4 - 405 17 168 2.52 .899
2009-10 Pittsburgh NHL 13 7 6 - 798 37 339 2.78 .891

I mean, seriously -- that's...if you're the Pens, how do you run him out there?

I don't even know how you do that!

and this would happen why? it reminds me of the last time we played the rags in the playoffs. my friend worked with this guy who didn't know much about hockey (like 99% of penguins fans), and all he could think to say was how the flyers were going to get killed because the rags had "the great one" on their team!!
it was really embarrassing to have that little knowledge and still talk poop. i actually asked him if he was a pens fan (yes, they had a team in 1997) and all he could do was mumble "....the great one..." and slither away

Not the guy who gave up TWENTY-SIX GOALS in a playoff series two years ago, and got benched against the New York Islanders last year -- he didn't even finish the series!

So really, the question should be, "who is your goalie?" Because Tomas Vokoun isn't there to save your asses this year!
