Bring on the Caps or Jackets! (after their 7 game series with 6 overtimes)!
I knew once Pittsburgh got those two quick goals, it was going to get ugly. It’s Philadelphia.
Wow!
Great comeback from the Penguins!
Guess I’ll have to listen to Flyers fans cry about uncalled penalties but I can live with it.
Hagelin never came back from the hit to the head. No call there either.
Great game. Althougth Flyers got dirty, we knew that was coming.
Pens never gave up down 2, absolutely gutsy win.
5 of 8 series done
jets a threat to end Canadian draught?
6 series done. !
Was the expansion draft too generous to Vegas ?
I predict winners ... Jets n Sharks

It did seem like the Golden Knights had some sweetheart deals to be sure.
Deep down I feel Winnipeg goes home with everything.
Caps vs Pens....again. “Ned......Ned Ryerson!!”
Penguins have ended the Capitals dreams so many times its almost embarrassing.
Almost.
Every year that the Penguins won the Stanley Cup they eliminated the Capitals along the way!
I so love stomping the Caps. They’re like a stalker ex-boyfirend when it comes to the Pens. He comes back to the door constantly, then one day you meet him with a gun and put a hole in him. Turns out he’s a zombie, so he gets out of the grave next season and you go through it again.
I do not believe what I just saw!
Pens win!
Golden Knights already up 4-0 just 12 minutes into the 1st period.
Vegas wins 7-0.
Think they can’t win the Cup? Think again.
Fleury is playing hands down his best playoff run ever.
I hope the Penguins get to see him in the Finals.
Sharks gave up 4 goals in 4 games against the Kings.
They gave up that many in 10 minutes last night!
