Conference Quarterfinals: #4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #5 Philadelphia Flyers

[fcm]

My head says Penguins, my heart says Flyers.

[Philly Fan 27]

what is the penguins line up gonna look like? both teams have stud first lines and solid 3rd lines. i think it may come down to the difference between 2nd/4th lines.

Neal-Malkin-Kunitz
Dupuis-Crosby-Sullivan
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Adams-Vitale-Asham

I think this is the reason its going to be a tough series for the Penguins most teams cant match up against the top 3 lines where Philly can because of their depth.

P.s. That FACT isn't a FACT at all.

Either Iron Mike tried to exaggerate a little bit with his numbers or Penguins fans aren't so good at math. Considering that the erroneous numbers that Mike posted had the difference at 9 but you subtracted 18 from 27 and were left with 8 I think I'm gonna go with the latter.

penguins in 6.

I took the numbers of Yahoo's boxscores. Just did it again and got the same numbers. Yahoo had a 9 penalty difference, I think ESPN's was 6. Big whoop, for there being some conspiracy, there's really not one at all.

I know right, it's not like the Flyers have been called for 102 more penalties on the season than the Pens have for a whopping 438 more penalty minutes or anything.

Ok, and...? Those penalties didn't come in a game against Pittsburgh. There's no "the refs were favoring the Pens" in that situation. It's irrelevant. In head-to-head games, the Flyers enjoyed 12-18 minutes (depending which site you look at) more powerplay time than the Pens did. Quite the conspiracy, I tell ya!

Another tough one and with the Penguins giving up more goals lately but have the added punch with Crosby back, it's difficult to figure out if they are ready to play playoff hockey. I'm going with the overpowering offense, Pittsburgh.

Pens have more talent and are a tougher team top to bottom. Give the Flyers 2 games for their BS. Pens in 6.

OMG, that is focking hilarious.

I will only complain if the Flyers get corn holed by the zebras, will that work?

I hope it doesn't happen but I fully expect it to so when Rinaldo slobber knocks Cindy and no arm goes up, I will be pleasantly surprised.

There is no conspiracy here, just the expectation of one. Those videos alone should show you guys what dirtbag Malkin is but I've seen nothing to refute it, just trying to change the subject. I roll my eyes at some of the posts and as I sit here taking a dump, I can at least laugh. The trash alk is awesome sauce.

[Kid Roberts]

If you want your team to win the Cup, you have to be a homer. I don't care how dirty they play or what they do. Pens in 6.

No kidding. Have you ever seen a Pens fan try to say he's a clean, honest player? Neither have I. He isn't one who is above doing something cheap every once in a while. It's not really a huge secret. And it's certainly not breaking news.
