Round One: Philadelphia @ Pittsburgh

philly has pulled to within 1.....2-1 pitt right now

Pens win! well...not yet

My 78 year old mom is a Pens fan and she is jumping up and down right now...

Pens are showing off their depth right now.

Getting 46 shots on Fleury and holding Malkin off the score-sheet is pretty much all you can ask from the Flyers (or almost any team) but they still lost.

Yes, and the Pens just seem to have more team discipline in a number of areas...their transition game is also much better.

That's why Holmgren was trying to get JayBo before the deadline.

Fleury with 45 saves! WOW!

Fleury definitely had me scratching my head last night, that's for sure. I'm still not completely sold on him yet, but one things' for sure: he had one helluva stellar performance last night.

C'mon Flyers, Dig down REAL deep into that abyss of rivalry hate and give the PEns a bit of a scare... At this point, as exciting as this series has been at times, I would LOVE to see it go to 7!

It better go 6 because that's what I picked . Definitely not convinced Fleury is an allstar either Cronie.

Hey Clutch... How's your vacation going?

And yeah, I hope it goes at least 6, but I am NOT ready to see (nor do I want to see) Malkin and/or Crosby hoisting Lord Stanley... That would truly make me

Pens in 6.. Let's see it happen.

Another look at Sid's goal...

This one I'm disappointed in. I wanted 7.

Pens are a bit too deep offensively I believe for the flyers this time, plus Fleury is just outplaying Biron.

Fleury has been a beast lately, but I truly wonder how long can he keep it up?

And while the Flyers are in deep dung, they CAN pull out of this...

However, I expect game 5 will be filled with some goonery...

I don't foresee Fleury keeping it up this time, they will be running into a better team next round and could be in some serious doo doo, there is no issue with their scoring, but if Fleury gets shaky, they are toast.

Yeah, for sure. Coming in I was prepared for the Pens to win, but I want 7 no matter what. Fleury can be rattled, you just need to score 1 goal in the 1st period to get things off on the right foot.

and for Philly, hit early, hit hard, hit often, Crosby won't be able to take it and start to whine before 10 minutes is gone.

That too. Although, Crosby can take it and then score on you as his revenge. He's a cry baby, but when he just plays, he's awesome.
