Crosbybitch got put in his place. Giroux is the better player.

claude_gir0ux · Answer

tone79 · Answer

East can the potential to be wide open for the flyers now, go Caps, Sens and Cats!

watch a game

BooBunny · Answer

Sorry Le Rink...&#xD;&#xA;They were done in with their defensive lapses and very undisciplined play early in the series. A pipe dream to come back after a 3-0 deficit. And of course...MAF totally dissappeared this series save for Game 5. Do you think he was overworked too much during the regular season???&#xD;&#xA;With the talent on that team...it has to be a huge dissappointment fo Pens fans everywhere. Crosby and Malkin were way outplayed by Giroux and Coutourier.

TDD · Answer

If NY, NJ, and Boston go down, the remaining goalies in the East will be Theodore, Bryzgalov, Anderson, and Holtby!&#xD;&#xA;WOW!

LeRinkRat · Answer

good luck to your Flyers the rest of the way, claude_

IF the Senators can knockoff the Rangers, you guys should be in GREAT shape the rest of the way esp IF they keep up the intensity shown in this series and Bryz tightens up like today.

I&#39;ve watched them all. One series does not make the guy better. Slow your roll newbie :)

Dith · Answer

i cant see any team from the east beating nashville, kings or blues, even against the yotes it would be difficult. no defense vs defense? no chance at all.

Jaysvdubwhat · Answer

u ppl overact it was one seriesobviously the next few series won&#x27;t be like that

wiggins · Answer

Philly played well defensively last two games. Pens also averaged about 3-4 goals a game since Crosby game back. There is no team like that really lolStill Bryz is a huge concern.

Skubishack · Answer

Your Pens just won the Cup a few back... Time for some new ringholders to join the frat.... and hopefully the are the boyZ who play on Broad Street in South Philly.

The Pens went down swinging hard... maybe not sop much in that last game but this was one wild series LaRinkRat... you have a good team that will make adjustment in the offseason and then they will be back in the dance again next season.

This season just was not meant to be for them.

SugeKnight · Answer

that was an embarrassment. out hustled and no sense for pucks out front. i feel bad for you guys and i am shocked the pens couldnt match the flyers play in any game

fsutomahawk · Answer

Get out of here with that crap. Giroux is a good player, but he is not Crosby

Dith · Answer

no, its not only about the pit/phi series

Niners13 · Answer

Should have just kept the lead in the first two games and the series was over.

Not really outplayed. Fleury sucked every game except one and the refs were horrible.

Still better than losing to Florida/Ottawa/etc.

NHL Seeding is a joke and so is the league with the officiating/suspensions. No consistency whatsoever.

Hopefully they are punished with all time low ratings soon.

LeRinkRat · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;I don&#x27;t know. the Flyers kind of remind me of the early 90&#x27;s Penguins. their D and Barrasso were pretty losse at time to BUT the offense could fill the net.&#xD;&#xA;I would give them a decent chance against the West.

Massive pens fan ...hate Philly ...but they deserved to win ..the pens looked like they didn&#39;t even care to be playing ..no heart and half ass effort with a shitty D ..if pens don&#39;t make some moves for a shut down D guy or 2 ..they won&#39;t ever make a deep run again

I know I feel like that about my team every time they go out in the playoffs.  Pens played their asses off, but the Flyers were just more determined to win.  Pens got the better of the FLyers in 2008 and 2009, and the Flyers were due to win.  While the Pens were the Vegas favorites to win the Cup, Flyers matched up with them better than any other team in the East.  The familiarity was a huge factor.  Pens showed heart by coming back in games 4 and 5.  They could have quit but didn&#x27;t.  I just think that the Flyers and Pens are fairly equal on paper.  Flyers need to play way better D (like today) and Bryzgalov has got to get hot, or this will be a next round exit.

a complete embarrassment
