Predictions:

The Rangers race out to an early 9-0 lead, with Carcilo registering a double hat trick, by the 4 minute mark. This prompts the Flyers players to all stand at center ice and perform The Macarena, but to the tune of "The Point of No Return" by Kansas.

The Rangers do not know what think of the dance, and decide it's best to simply engage in a bench-clearing arm wrestling match amongst themselves, presided over by AV. Sadly, none of them can beat Hank, as he defeats each opponent simply by staring at them with his lustful eyes.

Wallowing in shame, the entire Rangers team is reduced to tears, with several of them angrily shaking their first towards the heavens. Seizing their opportunity, the Flyers, playing a 5-0 (excluding the 15 or so roughing minors they have somehow taken) go on to fire 187 shots at Lundqvist. He has a horrible game, only stopping 178 of them, with the Flyers knotting the score with 0.2 seconds left.

The league decides to name the Pittsburgh Penguins the winner.

Coming Friday: Predictions for Game 4, a.k.a. Pterodactyl Porn

You can spin it however you want, but he's a traitor. Regular season is whatever, but this is the playoffs against our #1 rival.

I'd like to see Cooke and Brown in a knee-on-knee joust - a new Olympic sport.

Brown has never stuck out his knee. Much like the Mike Richards "knee" on Kovalev in 2008, he goes to hit a player with his body turned shoulder first (a knee would imply that you are parallel to a player, not perpendicular), and as a player turns to avoid the hit, he shifts his weight in accordance, and they knock knees. If you look at most of his "knees", you'll notice that his shoulder also makes contact (again, like Richards on Kovalev). He's not Brian Marchment or Ulf Samuelsson, who made it a point to target knees. He's a pretty honest hitter who, due to the nature of the way he plays, is going to be in some messy situations.

Edit: The most famous one is the hit on Rozsival. Note that he's leading with his shoulder, his body is turned at an angle to Rozsival's, and that his right leg is leaning in the same direction as Rozsival's left leg.

They need Raffles to get that 4th line going.
Rags 4th line has been very good.

It involves a goal, followed immediately by an (unpenalized) suspendable hit, and a 4-minute double minor on a separate play.

Yeah...he really stuck out his knee on that one.



His knee is basically right under him. You can see that Hertl turned his path to not get hit. That's what I mean: Brown goes for open-ice hits. If you turn away from an open-ice hit, you risk a lower body injury.

Was it? I knew it was something horrible and generic.

Worst Flyers one was from 2010: "WHY NOT US?"

Translated: "Like, well, I mean, sure, why not, I guess, maybe, we can."
