Washington. End of story. They're too good this year.

Agree with Pagan. Washington.
Don't agree with your Jersey/Philly result, though. Flyers were 5-1 against the Devils during the regular season this year. Flyers have the Devils' number.

Ian you make a valid point regarding the Philly/NJ series.
I don't know about Washington winning it all but I wouldn't be surprised. I just want if the Capital defense and goaltending can pull it off.

Although I will say this...if the Flyers do knock off the Devils and someone knocks off the Caps, I like my Pens' chances.

Fleury better get his head back in the game or this won't be a very long run at all.

Not quite sure exactly what happened in Game 1 last night with our special teams however if the Devils figure out how to play the way they are capable of they should win the series. The difference last night was puck luck the Devils simply weren't getting the bounces. They did eveything they really neede to do to limit the Flyers Offense and got their chances. They basically failed on the PP going 0-5not taking away anything for the Flyers PK but this is what cost them the game plain & simple. It s still only 1 win for the Flyers so not exactly panicing yet

I thought he should have been pulled. That usually gets him back in the game next time.
Also the Sens goalie doesn't look too confident SHOT THE PUCK!

Obviously happy about the results of game one, but certainly not going to get too excited. Bottom line is, without a doubt, the Devils are the better team and they should win the series.
I will say, though, that for whatever reason the Flyers just really seem to have their number. They're now 6-1 against them this season and that's way too lopsided to be a fluke.
I'm very curious to see how game 2 goes tomorrow night. If history tells you anything, the Devils should be mad and come out firing and the Flyers, who have a horrible tendancy to get over-confident, will come out flat and end up getting smoked.

I have a feeling if he's the slightest bit shaky tomorrow night we'll see Johnson.

I know! You had to see one sportswriter's column on the game..."Senators' Elliott Unflappable In Debut".
Unflappable? Four goals, one by Adams on a backhand and that's unflappable? LOL!

Going to the game tonight. If Fleury plays like he did the other night, it may be the last Penguins game ever at Mellon Arena.

BITE YOUR TONGUE!
Bro...favor to ask. Is there any way you can get me a towel from the game and I can send you the $$$?
Never had the pleasure of going to the Igloo...would love a playoff towel.

It looks like all the teams have incredible skill. Any team could take it at this point. It is exciting stuff.
Just found out this morning that Sutton isn't gettiing suspended for his hit on Leopold. I was very angry last night about that hit. Orpik has a nice hip check though and it is roughing.

Huge win last night for the Devs! No way they could have headed to Philly down to 2-0. Great game for Elias & Parise last night! Hey you know you are good shape when Colin White scores
In true NHL fashion this series has horrible officiating where does the league find these guys?

By "horrible officiating" I can only assume you mean the absurd non-call when Colin White tried to kill Claude Giroux by checking him head first into the boards in what would, in any other game, be a textbook boarding with intent to injure that should have resulted in a match penalty and a game misconduct?
If you're referring to anything else, you weren't watching the game closely because the Devils played very undisciplined hockey and took some really stupid penalties.
Kovalchuk is looking like a real waste, because he's been invisible thus far and was the poster child for dumb penalites (how does a "superstar" get called for elbowing Dan Carcillo???). Oddly enough (or maybe not so odd) the Devils were a better team before they traded for him.
The only saving grace for the Devils is that they really didn't give up much to get him.
All that being said, I still like the Devils to win this series. They're still a better team than the Flyers and Brodeur is, at least for now, still Brodeur.

I can't believe White wasn't called for that either. But Carcillo ran into Kovy's elbow when he was engaged with another player Kovy didn't even see him coming in so that was questionable at best. How about Clarkson cleanly striking the puck first and being called for tripping? I saw it live and multiple times on the replays.
Calling Kovy a waste is just the Flyer Fan coming out in you! He had 2 assists and sealed the game with the ENG!
It has been horrible both ways which in the playoffs there is no excuse for period! Not only true in this series but pretty bad overall from the games I saw. I heard that the officials were addressed by the league after Friday night's game at the Rock
