That 4-on-4 run in the first period was incredible. Each team scored in the space of something like 30 seconds.

Fluery let in 2 horrendously soft goals.

I think the 1st one was the backbreaker ( WORST GOAL EVER ! and it was Shorthanded with a 1-0 lead !) though the final score indicates otherwise.

There was 2 absurdly ticky tack calls against them in the game (didn't matter) but I'm very disappointed with them.

Huge Pens fan, but man that game was embarrassing.

I hate the Flyers with the entirety of my being, so it's incredibly difficult to say this, but they are a helluva team.

How soon we for get about Toskala! <197 feet of fail!>


I knew that the 4/5 match-ups contained 4 cup contenders.........but I didn't think Philly was going to run the Pens out of the playoffs like that......I knew they were a competative team......but dang!

Oh and I'm not a Flyer fan but I might have to get myself one of the Hart-trick shirts......that is awesome.

But that doesn't appear to be a game of importance, certainly not a playoff game where they were down 2-0 in the series with a 1 goal lead on a powerplay, that's what makes it so horrible !

Yeah coming back from down 3 goals in back to back games at Pens home has really rattled the Penguins. Philadelphia looks great.

Penguins take 3 dumb penalties to go down 3-2 in Game 4....then score 8 straight goals to blow up the Flyers 10-3. If they didn't blow games 2 and 3 this could easily been a 3-1 Penguins series lead but now they need 3 in a row. The Pens need to win at least another game to at least save face.

Canucks fought off elimination as well.

That Pens/Flyers series is crazy! I'm not sure how the winner will do in the next round anymore...........I used to think they would be a toungh out but they both have deside that defence and goaltending are for Rubes!


Glad to see Vancuver get a win but that does not look like it's going to be a good end for them.


And the Rangers can suck it.........Ottawa hasn't even had the lead for 1 second of game time and still tied the series up 2-2. If Spezza can start playing a bit better (just a bit and it looked like it was starting in that game) I think they might be OK.

I still think the East Rep will come from that series but maybe Boston/NYR will be the rep.

Is Spezza okay ? One of the highlights was him getting nailed on a check by Marc Staal as he was leaning his head down/forward.

Seems to be......he came back to the game a bit later and seemed to be skating just fine. Seems to just be a stinger (seemed bad at time of hit and then turned out to be much less).........don't tell anyone..........but I think he looked better after the hit.

Well, Hawks lose Hossa, their team leader in points, and the Coyotes lose some third-string goon. If the 'Hawks drop this series, I want to see someone crush Phoenix in the most humiliating way possible.

Sedin back in lineup- Nucks win.

As it should be. I'm also not a fan of Luongo. He's like Peyton Manning of sorts. Great in regular season, choke artist a.k.a. Lebron in playoffs.

They should stick with the new goalie. Doing well so far in two games.

I've got no love for the Hawks but I hate it when suspensions come down and a star player is taken out along with some no-name who isn't a game changer.

Happened back in the Suns/Lakers playoff series a couple years back. Suns lost some good players for a couple of games and they lost the series right as rain.

Bad luck.

Jordan Staal is carrying the Penguins !
Fleury starting to play good.
Still taking a lot of stupid penalties though

Pens win Game 5 and are 2 more consecutive wins away from making history !

Red Wings are eliminated by Nashville !

San Jose Sharks are eliminated by the St. Louis Blues. Blues win their first playoff series in 10 years !

Panthers beat New Jersey to take 3-2 lead.
Ottawa beat Rangers to take a 3-2 lead.
Washington beats Boston to take a 3-2 lead.

Tomorrow Pittsburgh, Boston, and Vancouver face elimination.

Pens lost to the Flyers

I missed games 1 and 2 but saw enough of the Pens to see they had some serious problems. Paul Martin and Michalek were overpaid busts on defense and they took way too many stupid penalties and had soft goals. Kunitz in particular committed a ton of stupid penalties.
