Can't even handle that.

A sloppy late goal. How uncharacteristic.
- MrBuzzcut

During the intermissions you get to watch the Yankees smack the Orioles around.

Maybe a makeup for the tripping that wasn't called.
- nyy

ok well they should have for all the late hits the peng-wines have been getting away with

i didn't catch a replay. did coburn actually not touch that puck?

Man on man!!! What an amazing dump in by Crosby! Give him two assists on that third goal!


- Holy_GM

Steve Mason would have faired so much better.

how do they waive off icing as Coburn is touching the puck
- ob18

Yeah that was nuts. Like, they're literally not calling anything this game. On one hand, not calling a few of the deserved penalties against us was a good thing but that icing, that's another.

during the intermission...
please wake the (frank) up
- nails

They better get their shyt together.... I hate Pens!!!!

- hammarby31

My replay showed he toughed it. the linesman waved it off i beleive?

Everyone and their mother knew that was icing wtf. Late hits cheap shots by Pitt? Time to target crosbys head and marlins knees

ommgggg the sky is fallinggg!!!!!!

People thought it would change in the playoffs. LOL
Slow starts, and Briere not showing up.
Sweet

Lava better be giving these (frank)ers hell.

Lilja would be benched the rest of the game if it were up to me.

Say what you will but Bryz needed to help them more. You have a "star" goalie to help your team stay in it. He made a few good saves but he was very average.

He has to be better.

As it stands though, they were brutal. The thing that stands out to me is they cannot keep up with the speed and even though the hits may be close, they are being dominated physically.
- flyer_nutter

pretty embarrassing period. severely outplayed. would have like bryz to stop the fruitbat on the oddman rush. that's a tough stop, but one the team needed him to make. i don't know what happened on the last one. didn't look good either way.

not really, the game is over.

+1

Time to pull his ass. Bryzy blows.
- nyy

Two words, Ilya Bryzgoalov!

what a nightmare thus far, everything that could go wrong did..now lets see the pendulum swing back in our favor...we own the second period.

Difference so far is that every Pens forward is playing physical and taking the body every chance they get.

Flyers only have a few players playing like that (Hartnell, Simmonds, Schenn).

They will not be successful in this series unless all the forwards commit to the physical game the way Pitt has. Honestly, I'm not sure the Flyers can pull that off. We'll see...
- BringBack25

The League asked the Flyers not to lay the body. Crosby has spend enough time on the IR.

They better get their shyt together.... I hate Pens!!!!
- GFRanger

would be happy if they just win the next two periods and are ready for game two

Yeah that was nuts. Like, they're literally not calling anything this game. On one hand, not calling a few of the deserved penalties against us was a good thing but that icing, that's another.

The refs thing right now is an absolute excuse.

The refs letting the guys play should help the Flyers not hurt them. They werent going to beat this team on talent, they were going to do it with physicality and hard work.

They are getting manhandled.

That first period was an absolute farce.

HOLY poop! DID YOU GUYS HEAR THAT?!!

The whole building shook!

Lavy must have threw a table....

Gaustad scores, NSH up 1-0

First goal as a Pred.

at least NSH is winning

My replay showed he toughed it. the linesman waved it off i beleive?
- david22

live, it looked like coburn got it and they let up. i'm just flabbergasted. the linesman also missed a blatant offside call on the pens first shift up the ice. the guy on the near boards was a full stride over the line before the puck. it wasn't even close. i don't know how they miss that.

well how much worse could it get ?

as much as that period sucked ... and it sucked beyond all sucking ... it is just ONE period of ONE game.
