2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs

The Flyers/Penguins game has been absolutely amazing, both teams are really fighting. Hoping the Penguins can pull it off, though ;D

Penguins just scored to give them a 5-4 lead over the Flyers!! :D

...and the Flyers just scored to tie the game at 5-5, son of a... >_<

Giroux and Couturier really stuck it to the Pens tonight.

Plus the fact that Jagr (Heck he scored the winning goal) and Talbot scored on the Penguins probably made the loss hurt a little more. I can't imagine what it would of been like being a Pens fan and having those players in particular go to the Flyers during the last offseason.
 
Well, the Pens hadn't wanted Jagr for a while. It's their fault he signed elsewhere.

I just thought there was a time in the offseason where practically everybody. Whether fueled by Nostalgic wishes were thinking Jagr was going to sign with Pittsburgh once more. I think I even remember a headline where it said something like "Pittsburgh trying to woo Jagr"

Although I don't like the Pens. I actually felt sorry for them after Jagr bolted to the Flyers. It'd be like Fedorov teasing the Red Wings with a comeback to the team but then going to the Blackhawks.
 
So despite 48 shots on net, the Canucks muster just two goals and are doomed by Jonathan Quick's top-notch play and major defensive lapses. They allowed two shorthanded goals, a powerplay goal and one more just after a powerplay had expired. They're now down 2-0 in the series, but the Bruins went down 2-0 in the first round last year at home and turned things around. Can the Canucks do the same? I personally don't think so, unless Daniel Sedin comes back.

I'd say the Nucks outplayed LA overall, but Vancouver's lapses and Jonathan Quick did them in tonight. While I don't see Quick playing that well all the time, the Canucks won't be taking 48 shots and LA will play better defensively and probably score some goals that aren't gift-wrapped for them.

Also, the Pens didnt really want Jagr. IN FACT, Jagr took LESS money to go to the Flyers than the Pens offered him. The thing is, Penguins wanted Jagr to play on their 3rd or 2nd line. Said he would absolutely not play with Crosby or Malkin. Jagr wanted a top line roll. Flyers offered him time playing with Claude Giroux.

Now who would you want to play with? 39 years old, and past your prime. Offered to play a 3rd line roll with Jordan Staal. Or 1st line winger with Claude Muther Fucking Giroux? I know which one I'd take.

The Pittsburgh management barely showed an interest in Jagr. Flyers were personally calling Jagr up on the phone, asking him to come to the Flyers. Chris Pronger personally called Jagr. Claude Giroux personally called Jagr. Kimmo Timonen personally called Jagr. Etc. Flyers just showed more interest, and it showed with who Jagr signed with.
