Today we're all Rangers fans...sorta

I’d like to see the Rangers and Flyers skate to a 10-9 game, with the Rangers pulling it out with a minute left in the 3rd with a Sean Avery goal. Then, I’d like to see a brawl ensue where Hartnell klonks Avery over the head with his stick and receives a 20 game suspension. Piling up the injuries on both sides would be nice, too. But alas, it will probably be as anti-climatic as last year’s Pen’s vs. Flyers yawn-fest at the end of the season when there was nothing to play for. The Rangers are in that position again since their playoff positioning is set, and just need to escape the game drama free. Philly? Probably get an early lead and mail it in.

insert evil laughter here

Either way we know we have the Flyers so does that mean Godard gets a jersey instead of Adams or Satan? Does it also mean that Boucher gets in there in stead of Letang or Eaton?

I have said numerous times on this website, which I LOVE, that the Flyers were the one team I was a little worried about. I wanted the Devils like I wanted the Sens last year. This will be a tough match up that I think the Pens will pull off in 6. Unlike last year’s sweep of the Sens this first round will be a challenge.

Who knows maybe that is a good thing. Last year we got to the Finals with relative ease and it showed in those first two games in Detroit that we were not ready for the highest level. Perhaps a tougher road plus last year’s experience makes the team even better than last year!

Lets enjoy the best time of year, its playoff hockey time baby!!!

Lets Go Pens!!!

It was nice to check the score of the rangers vs. flyers game to see that the rangers won in regulation. As much as it pains me to see the rangers winning and making the playoffs. I had them not even making the playoffs a few short months ago.

That being said home ice will be huge for the Pens in the first round against the flyers. But i am expecting a grueling first round match-up leaving the winners a little black and blue. Lets go Pens

Congrats to the Penguins on securing home ice. Even though history has proven that Martin Biron can and will screw himself and his team over whenever the opportunity presents itself I have to admit it was a little surprised to watch the Flyers lose a game that was practically gift wrapped for them – I mean, Philadelphia had to win this game to get home ice advantage. You’d think they would be a little bit motivated to do something besides run Sean Avery into the boards from behind, but I guess not. Good luck!

But props to gorgalor for predicting a Hartnell-Avery brawl at the end of the game
