Bring on the Flyers!
I’m geekin out over here. Why? Because the ultimate series for a trip to the Stanley Cup finals is now in place. Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia. But first, lets talk about the last 9 games Pittsburgh has played. Pens went 8-1, swept the Sens in 4 and beat the Rangers in 5. There are plenty of sites that will talk about the series and the record pretty much tells the story. Pens dominated.
That brings us to the wet dream of playoff possibilities. Western PA Pittsburgh VS Eastern PA Philadelphia. The thing with Philly fans is that they love to bitch. No matter how good the situation they will find a reason to be miserable. The Flyers won the season series 5-3 and were they happy? No, they claimed the Pens threw the game. They’re also the biggest advocates of Sidney Crosby committing dives but neglect the fact he’s the best player in the NHL. Philly fans could win the cup and STILL find a reason to bitch about it. I think part of it is due to being close enough to New York that the smugness is still in the water. Sorry, it’s worter there.
Let the trash talking start. I have my tickets ready and already started the phone calls with friends out east. This will be an epic battle and honestly I expect this to go 7 games.
cheers!
