Their team really isn't. It's just that when players that aren't normally physical try to play with an edge there is a chance for some dangerous plays to happen because they aren't used to making the plays.

From an outside view this is a very entertaining series minus Vat getting hurt. The Flyers/Pens series is boring as all (frank).

Which is surprising, because both of those teams usually try to kill each other.

Point is just an outright scumbag though.

Exactly. Gudas is only trying to hurt his own players and Simmonds looks neutered.

Now Point trying to out douche Kucherov.
(frank) the lightning. Maime everyone of the dirty (frank)ers!

Stralman dive.

What a bunch of bs this is.

You guys need to get Kenny to eat Cangialosi and move Salvador up to the box. Would be much more enjoyable to listen to.

Kucherov is such a loser

This game makes my "skin" boil

Point with the classic "somebody touched me so I'll fall on the goalie".

Jesus. These refs are fuked.

We need Vatanen back badly.

I think he is out with a concussion.

Just so i get this right. crotch and head shots are legal, but hooking and holding are still a penalty? Right?

Did they announce it? Couldn’t find anything.

Depends on the last name of the player delivering the head and nut shots. If it’s a well recognized name then yes, completely legal.

No, but it's pretty clear he isn't coming back.

We can't get out of our own zone and it's terrible obvious how important Vatanen's breakout passes are for starting offense.

They've had a million power play chances tonight and only connected on one. Especially troubling when you're down a defenseman and you can't get anything going 5v5.

Hynes has last change and is putting the Hall/Hichier out against the Stamkos line. You have to put them against some weaker comp to get something going.

I hate the lightning almost as much as the Pens

They had enough powerplay opportunities and couldn't make them pay. Also Vasilevsky was great.
