Philly at Pittsburgh; St. Louis at Colorado

[Guest irishock]

Philly ties the game 2-2 entering intermission.

Could be a 1st round matchup, maybe 1 vs 8 or 2 vs 7.

Bryzgalov is terrible.

If not for him, the Wings would have a 4 year drought of winning a playoff series.

With the Avs only managing 19 SOG. I haven't been watching the game, but ouch.

EDIT: scores just as I'm posting that.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Simmonds with the Gordie Howe hat trick tonight by the way.

2 goals, 1 assist, 1 fight.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Philly Pens games continue to just be bananas.

Crazy goal mouth scramble. Everyone was in the crease but Vokoun.

Why, because of the extended 5 on 3 late in the game? I watched last night and though the Pens got the short end of the stick more often than not in terms of calls. The elbowing call on Adams, I think, was brutal.

In terms fo the 5 on 3 (total of 3 penalties called), they were all automatic calls, 2 highsticking penatlies + Talbot not only covered the puck in his end with his hand (which I think is automatic now...new rule), he picked it up, turned around and then dropped it.

I'm not sure how anyone can complain about any of those calls.

After watching that game though, it is so obvious that Philly knows how to play against the Pens, they get them off their game so easily. If they aren't goating them into retaliation penalties (they've been able to do that a lot with Malkin and Neal), they are at least getting them away from playing their game. They are totalling in their heads. Seems pretty easy to fix, but that is one of the problems with a young team.....it's hard to avoid getting rattled.
