So excited for today I couldn't wait.

Game of the day: Pens/Flyers. A close number two: Panthers/Wings.

Isles/Stars looks like a good one too. Thank god for multiple devices!

Would have been more excited for Bruins/Kings if the B's hadn't played last night.

 

[Pyrophorus]

According to many Gauthier wouldn't play a game in the NHL?

HF never change

 

[xxxx]

for me it's definitely PIT/PHI, BOS/LAK, and NYR/SJO
and Toronto/Buffalo should be intereting too due to their prospects

 

[GKJ]

Flyers/Penguins will assuredly be a bloodbath.

 

[Sam Spade]

Both teams have been playing well but I think the Pens take this.

There is zero pressure (from a fan perspective) on either team if you think about it. Pens lose, or miss the playoffs, or go out in round one, so what, they didn't have Malkin.

Flyers do the same and they were without a lot of their defense, rookie head coach, players, etc., plus they weren't supposed to make it this far anyway.

Nice, Jays game rained out, Sportsnet showing Penguins @ Flyers instead.

No pressure? We could be 0-69 at this point and I'd still find it hard to stomach a loss to the Pens.

I meant in general, but yeah this is true.

Hagelin is like that guy in the Mighty Ducks movies who could skate like the wind but couldn't stop.

Happy birthday Mike Mottau!!... and me

This Pens-Flyers game has been chippy so far, but neither team looks good. This game has been very messy so far.

All the Wings are saying is "please no three point game, please".

 

[Tripod]

Yippee!

 

[Bounces R Way]

Gudas career high 4 goals. Unstoppable.

 

[GKJ]

Gudas career high 4 goals. Unstoppable.

First a 2-goal game, and now goals in back-to-back games

 

[Empoleon8771]

That was an awesome pass and an even more awesome shot there.

The Scuderi for Daley trade was the best trade of the year IMO.

 

[Sam Spade]

That Pens goal is on the Flyers coach. Why the 4th line after you score, don't understand this line of thinking?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Penguins all over the Flyers. Philly stuck at 7 shots late in the 2nd. And not for the 2nd period...for the entire game!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Mason is saving the Flyers' butt.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Pens seem to be one step ahead of the Flyers almost all the time. Mason is the sole reason they're still in this one.

 

[DrDangles]

Penguins will still find a way to lose this game.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Missile from Hagelin, 2-1.

Great forechecking by Fat Phil.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Ryan White what are you doing.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Penguins perfect when leading after 2, so that goal was big. Have not lost a point.

Then again, you can argue they are due.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Kessel wins a board battle, Hagelin with a rocket snipe. I would expect it to be the other way around
