Fine, I'll say one good thing about the Flyers. They were involved in the best hockey fight EVER.

I cannot wait for the Pittsburgh/Detroit final. It'll be like two freight trains charging into each other at full speed.

Penguins have outscored the Flyers 12-5 in this series and all their postseason opponents 43-22.

Still, I'm worried about the Wings.

And the Flyers still have not won a cup since 1975....Broad Street Bitches really.

I'm super excited for the finals. Pens haven't been in the finals since I was five. I really don't know how to handle this honestly.

I'm actually quite impressed with the flyers this year, they did have a good run even though a lot of people felt they shouldn't of advanced when they played against washington and that controversial goal that happened in game 7.

I'd say thats quite an improvement since the flyers were the worse team in the NHL during the 2006-2007 season. I'm still hoping detroit will knock out dallas. Even though pittsburg and detroit are my two least favourite teams in the NHL, I would pick the red wings over the penguins any day thats if detroit adavances (at least I hope so).

If for any apparent reason if Dallas knocks out Detroit I would definetely pick the penguins over Dallas, but if it ends up being the penguins and red wings I would definetely go for detroit.

With Detroit, the only thing I worry about is our defense versus their offense.

BTW, I like how it's almost 11 months ago to the date I predicted the Penguins would be at the very least Stanley Cup runners-up. Pretty good, huh? Now, all they need to do is win and prove me wrong!

The thing is if it ends up being between Detroit and Pittsburg. It will definetely be a very entertaining series. It'll pretty much be back and forth. I could see that series go to 6 games possible 7. If dallas ends up being one of the few teams to come back from a 3-0 deficit, I could see pittsburg possibly taking the series in 5 games.

It'd be great symmetry; the Penguins first Cup win was against the Minnesota North Stars, who moved to Dallas and became the Stars.

Wouldn't that only be symmetry if this was the LAST cup Pittsburgh ever won?

Everyone is missing the point of this outcome between the Flyers and the Penguins: justice has been served and the Flyers are out.

That said, I look forward to tomorrow night's game. If Dallas manages to pull a series win, I'll be amazed and look at the Red Wings in disappointment. Seriously, any team that manages to go 3-0 only to lose the next four games in a row deserves to take a walk of shame. On top of that, the Red Wings to NHL is like the Patriots to NFL...only, I don't hate the Red Wings and they're not evil assholes...or cheaters.

I don't nescessarily think thats a fair statement Supersonic, but its your opinion and I'm not going to hold you against it. No matter how rare it is for a team to come back from a 3-0 deficit especially in the NHL playoffs. I think only two teams have ever done it, but I could be misinformed it can still happen. It all really depends how bad the team wants it. How hard they're going to play to accomplish it.

Detroit has been knocked out by quite a lot of teams in the playoffs that was a lower seed then them and even when they were ahead in the series, I would put anything past dallas. If dallas beats detroit in 7 games I guess they wanted it more. I'm still cheering for detroit because I think they can beat the penguins compared to dallas.

I like the way people are already talking like Detroit isn't a ridiculously dominant force that only needs to win once out of the next two games to go on to the Stanley Cup. The Wings aren't a ridiculously young and inexperienced team. They'll settle down and get the job done. Dallas is going to get buried I'd wager.
