E C Q F: (4) Pittsburgh Penguins Vs (5) Philadelphia Flyers

[Jaimito]

flyers defense would've been much better if pronger was back in it

[Demo250]

8-5! Holy crap, what a high score. lol

6 freaking points for Giroux!!!!

[flapjacks]

6 points for giroux

[Hobble]

Wow, Giroux had 6 points and Couturier with 3 goals (starting to really dislike that Scheifele pick )

[Froggy Fresh]

Couturier was the steal of the draft.

[soshified]

Pit allows 8 (well 7)! Holy Damn! And Giroux with 6 POINTS! Holy Crapp

[flapjacks]

I didn't even realize that it was a DOUBLE hat trick tonight. Giroux and Couturier. Wow. Just wow.

[swflyers28]

I'm just in awe of this team. Two hat tricks tonight, G has a 6 point night. Coots has a hat trick in his 2nd game of his playoff career while shutting down Malkin. Just wow.

[canuck_trevor16]

the flyers exposed what the pens really are.......

[Baka]

Everyone do the Letang!

9 seconds into this Matt Read bumps Letang and throws his head back and goes down, NBC's feed was nice enough to censorer the material so you don't see it from a great angle but the Philadelphia feed showed it from all angles, I will add that if it is ever uploaded. Letang was assessed a penalty for diving.

Aww yeah Wayne Simmonds has got it

Man I love it when teams that pull this nonsense lose.

[Tony Romo]

Couturier was the steal of the draft.

[Baercheese]

^ Hahaha Simmonds is so awesome

[Don't.Mess.With.Kes<3]

cannot believe Pit is down 2-0 in the series. Did not see that coming

[UFCanuck]

Giroux is the best play maker in the game today, and I don't mean just passing.

[MrsCanuck]

omg Giroux and the Couterier...

Loved the praise from Jagr after the game and on Jagr's Twitter.

@28CGiroux 3+3=6 points in one playoff game. beginning of the year i called u little Mario- now i can scratch out the little.

[Ilya Mikheyev]

I knew Philly was good and some of the downs from earlier in the year was mostly Bryz adjusting to a very very different system/situation.

I hope they can win this series! Can never count a team with Crosby, Malkin & Fleury out!

Great series to watch so far though for sure.

Great leadership shown from Jagr. I wonder if he will play another year.

[forever_hope]

Funny how a lot of people were predicting Canucks vs Pens in the finals yet both are down 0-2..

I think both teams will come back and make it at least 6 games but wow the flyers are definitely a great team:

Giroux, Briere, Jagr, Voracek, Hartnell, Simmonds, Schenn, Couturier, Read

Pronger, Timonen, Carle, Coburn, Meszaros, Grossman, Kubina..

Bryz, Bob

That is a STACKED top 9 with skill, grit, and speed..

Defense would be just as good if healthy:

If only Bryz would be more consistent.. and Bob isn't that bad of a backup either..

I fully expect the Pens to come out strong though, as they're not lacking either:

Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Neal, Kunitz, Dupuis, Sullivan, Cooke, Kennedy

Letang, Orpik, Michalek, Niskanen, Martin, Engelland

Fleury, Johnson

Wow.

[Canuck or Die]

It's crazy that both Vancouver and Pittsburgh dropped both their home games.

It will just make it that much more epic in June when they face each other.

[marleau_12]

I wonder if Fleury's getting heat for all the goals against.
