[The Four Peters]

I dub this the Eastern Conference gamethread.

[MoGator71]

Not loving this matchup. Elias is a notorious Flyer-killer and Kovalchuk seems like he's twice the player he was as a Thrasher; that seemed like an odd fit at the time but apparently Lou Lamoriello is smarter than I am.

Interesting that Calder finalist Henrique could be the 4th-best rookie in this series.

LOL WUT

Real weak goal given up by Holtby there. 1-0 Rags.

[PedroSpecialK]

[sachmoney]

Brooks Laich feeds Chimera, who beats Lundqvist five hole, to tie it up with 5.1 left in the second period.

[ForceAtHome]

Unreal sauce from Laich.

[TheShynessClinic]

That was a ridiculous pass.

[Boston Brawler]

That is an awesome photo, PSK. At least he acknowledges it

[ForceAtHome]

Did the Johansson non-call/non-goal remind anyone else of the Bergeron goal from the Cup finals last year?

[BoSoxFink]

Of course Holtby turns into a pumpkin in game 1 against the Rangers

[OldSaintJohn]

The no-goal today was frozen before Johansson crashed into Lundquist. Last year Luongo never had the puck. Same situation as far as no goalie-interference though

[MoGator71]

Hey I said "could be"...just a lot of quality young talent and that's without even factoring in Larsson.

Larsson isn't playing in this series so he doesn't matter.

Matt Read showed why he isn't better than Henrique on the first NJ goal.

The only guy I'd be willing to debate is the guy Philly got because of Winnipeg's total incompetence.

[Rudy's Curve]

Fucking Harrold.

[mikeford]

That guy needs to stop being played. He is dreadful at absolutely fucking everything. There is absolutely no way Adam Larsson could be worse.

[Rudy's Curve]

What the fuck Marty?

[mikeford]

Didn't help that he got run into by a Flyer before the first rolling save.

[Greg29fan]

pressure the points on the Flyers power play and it doesn't look so hot - Devils figured that out in one game, Pittsburgh stood around for 6 games waiting for God to strike somebody dead or something.

[Rudy's Curve]

Have the Devils won a faceoff this postseason?

[ForceAtHome]

It's Claude Giroux's world and we're just living in it.

Thanks for the reverse lock.

He's vaulted to the top of my list of favorite non-Bruins. God he's fun to watch.

Shit, he might be my favorite player in the NHL to watch right now, period. It blows my mind that the entire OHL passed on him.

Only Zajac.


Elias to the locker room. Will be a quick series if he doesn't come back.

[Greg29fan]

Thanks for the reverse lock.

Two penalty kills they were perfect, on Giroux's they were all standing around. you have to pressure up top, that's where the Flyers run everything from.

[Rudy's Curve]

PETER LAVIOLETTE MASTER OF TIMEOUTS

[mikeford]

Oh look, it's Peter Harrold being terrible and getting roasted. WHODATHUNKIT

[ForceAtHome]

Did Marty give JVR like three shots to the head?

[BoSoxFink]

God the Flyers are a fucking fun team to watch play. I love their style of play so much

[Rudy's Curve]

Thank god for Bryz - the Devils have been constantly under seige.

[Greg29fan]

Bryzgalov is so terrible - ECHL goalies should be able to stop Sykora's goal and he lets it right through.

[mikeford]

Brodeur is the only reason this game isnt like 10-3

[Average Reds]

Refs deciding anything where there's not a bone showing isn't a penalty.

[86spike]

NJ just likes OT.

Good, its the playoffs.

[ForceAtHome]

You have to like New Jersey's odds if they can get this to a shootout.

The Flyers should just start pulling the goalie with a minute left in the 4-on-4 next year. At least in non-conference games where they won't care if the other team gets an extra ROW.

I believe if you do this and give up an ENG, you actually don't get the "loser point."

[MoGator71]

Fucking Harrold.

He's not but he probably should be, Harrold sucks. I'd take him over Carle or Lilja though...Lilja is like a smaller slower Hal Gill.

[MoGator71]

Really? Now that you mention it it sounds familiar but wow, what a crappy rule.

[86spike]

I hate that fucking rule

[mikeford]

Dat save

[The Four Peters]

Wow Brodeur. Just wow.

[Rudy's Curve]

Holy shit Marty.

Devils are fucked with no TV timeouts. They're gonna need to catch a big break.

[The Four Peters]

Lost in the amazingness of that save is the ridiculousness of that pass.

[86spike]

Kicked?

[mikeford]

KICKED IN. FUCK OFF.

[ForceAtHome]

Who gives a shit about this game, Bryce Harper just got his first career single! WOO!

[86spike]

No goal
