#4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #5 Philadelphia Flyers

What a crazy series that was...looking forward to playing Washington (hopefully) next round.

 

Wouldn't you guys be playing the winner of Devils/Panthers?

Flyers in 6 or 7. Philly owns Pittsburgh in their own building.

the NHL doesn't run a straight playoff system, in the second round the highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed and the middle two seeds play each other, so if the Panthers, Senators, and Caps all advance (each lead their series right now) the Panthers (3 seed) would play the Sens (8 seed) and the Flyers (5 seed) would play the Caps (7 seed)

Ah, cool. So they're like the NFL. Thanks for the info.

lmao

 

Definitely going to be the funnest series of the first round. I voted the Flyers cause I hope they do everything you said, but I'm actually thinking Pens in 7...unfortunately.

 

At least injure some guys.

 

lolme. I must say, Philly is looking to be a huge title contender with this win.

 

If they're defense performs almost to the standard of yesterday's game, they'll be in good shape.

If our defense plays like it did yesterday, we can beat anybody. The problem is, they've only played that well once. The potentially good news is that the rest of the Eastern Conference is shaping up well. If the Rangers, Bruins, and Devils all get knocked out...what a dream scenario. We'll see what happens.

Higher seeds are dropping like flies (excluding DevilsvPanthers because NJ was favorite).
