Penguins/NHL
Penguins 5 – 
Flyers 1
(PIT LEADS SERIES, 2-1)
Brian Elliott turned back into Brian Elliott and the Pittsburgh Penguins are now up 2-1 in the series.
Matt Murray stopped 26 of 27 shots, while Sidney Crosby was doing Sidney Crosby things again with a goal, 3 assists in a 5-1 Penguins win.
The brilliance of Sidney Crosby and Matt Murray might have won the series in the first period.
Philadelphia came out of the gates with a major surge, dominating play but Murray shut the door on every opportunity highlighted by a breakaway save on Nolan Patrick.
After one period the Flyers had a 29-12 edge in shot attempts, 19-3 edge in scoring chances and 10-1 advantage in high danger chances, yet Murray and Crosby were the story after 20 minutes as Murray turned aside all 11 shots and Sidney Crosby scored a wrap-around goal at 10:25 of the first period on the Penguins third shot of the game.
The Flyers may nab another game from the Penguins this series but Philadelphia winning three out of four just isn’t going to happen.
The first period of Game 3 just seemed like the Flyers season and Pittsburgh showed their championship prowess in being able to weather the storm as the Flyers unraveled in the second period as Philadelphia took six minor penalties in the first 30 minutes of play.
Derick Brassard scored his first of the playoffs, a power play marker 2:48 into the second period that looked to have taken the life out of the Flyers.
Minutes later the Penguins would then tie a record for the fastest two goals in Stanley Cup Playoffs history.
On a 4-on-3 power play, Evgeni Malkin scored a one-timer goal to make it 3-0 at 6:48 of the second period. On the ensuing face-off, Sidney Crosby knocked the puck between the skates of Flyers captain Claude Giroux, gained the offensive zone and found a streaking Brian Dumoulin down the left side who beat Brian Elliott 5-hole to make it 4-0 Penguins.
Game over.
MORE BUZZ
— Adjustments from Game 2 to Game 3:
Pittsburgh had a shot mentality on the power play, going 3 of 7, while the Penguins on the PK were 6-for-6.
Pittsburgh got power play goals from Brassard, Malkin and Justin Schultz and the shot presence from the top opened up things in the middle of slot.

Despite sams garbage man it’s nice to see MAF continue to prove those that hated him for years here wrong. I’d love to talk to yoda today. Quick gave up 7 the whole series… lost. Remember when people claimed that MAF couldn’t steal a series? Playing for VGK he’s been insulated and it’s allowed him to shine. In Pittsburgh, the more run and gun style, is gonna see goalies find more pucks behind them. I mean it’s no coincidence the team started winning again with a playoff commitment to defence. Either way congrats to MAF for being the initial author… Read more »
Media puppet. Quit feeding us Elliot Friedman’s BS. Fleury is one of the worst playoff goalies in NHL history. He single-handedly squandered the Pens chances at additional Stanley Cups as Geno entered his prime years and a solid supporting cast of Crosby, Kunitz, Eric Staal, TK, and Orpik around him. The only reason his stats arent the usual garbage is because, as Sam always says, the Kings had no puck luck.
If Murray played for Vegas tonight, he would have given up less than zero goals.
But but but .. He is playing in front of superstar team. Are you saying Vegas is better then pens?
Hahaha you suckk fatso in every way just admit it
After all the suckiing for you should be a normal habit by now.
makes sense now no wonder you come here on every post and say Sam suckss. Good way to refer your self that title .
Npl sucks and when I say sucks he sucks dickks for living
But lateky he hasn’t got any cockk luck
Party at Yoda’s
Also happy to see James Neal move forward. One of my favorite players while he was here with the Pens.
He was a moron and still is. They guy is a clown
So happy pens traded him
Maybe they realized having him making pens chances to win playoffs are slim since he and malkin took turns taking dumb penalties and killing teams momentum by killing it for them.
Oh to put the cherry on the top you had orpig helping that department as well.
End of day bandwagon’s fans just blamed on fleury or puck luck .
P.S your BFF npl still sucks
I grew to hate Neal… hung out on the perimeter, took a ton of really bad calls and crossed the line too many times. Million dollar shot with a 10 cent head.
The first goal vs Nashville last year said it all… Hornqvist gets dumped in front of the goal, draws a call while Neal reacts away from the play and crosschecks Daley in the face to put his team down 2 men… pens score of course. Says all I have to about that deal lol
Fleury 66th playoff win passes hasek
Move to 11th spot

Npl sucks
I would love to see leafs / jets
Or Vegas vs pens
But Vegas have a lot of tough matchups and are underdogs
They’re going to crush the sharks. Nashville/Winnepeg will be a great series. Hopefully they beat the hell out of each other and are weak vs Vegas.
Fleury Suckss 2 shutouts.
Npl go fuckk your self
Kings lost because of no puck luck

Could Fleury pull out a shutout to finish a sweep of the kings??? My man!
Get lost punk. You were a fleury hater now you want to know if he can get a shutout.
Told you clowns will miss him
He’s actually been a big Fleury guy. I’ve been kind of a Fleury hater, but that’s only when it comes to the Hof. I’d love a pens/Vegas SCF.
I’m the one who said trade Murray for Hamilton and keep Fleury. I’m the one who said Fleury is a lock hall of famer. I’m the one who said he’ll be back in the near future to back up Jarry when Murray prices himself out of Pittsburgh.
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. The difference is, you keep crying about Murray year after year. I’ve moved on and decided to actually enjoy the Penguin games.
Kings created 13 rebounds in 3 games that they played must be puck luck
Jets won
Wild had no puck luck
Typical French Canadian excuse
Caps won in overtime
Jackets had no puck luck
Don’t look now, the Pirates aren’t fun again.
yeah reality is a bitch
J-Hay goes down the loses pile up!
Now that there is 2-3 teams with no coach .
You guys think DB will ever get a job again?
Think he might end up starting back in the AHL to build rep again.
He should never coach in NHL again he was a true fraud had no clue depended talent shows up in order to win no in game adjustment always had his arms crossed and watch ship sink
Probably leaned how to coach by watching mighty duck movies
Gudas injures couturier at practise that hip check was if necessary?
https://media.giphy.com/media/iTF4fIqjKlZE4/giphy.gif
The Athletic’s Mike Russo reports that Wild’s Zach Parise will be out 6 to 8 weeks with a fractured sternum.
What else is new probably fraud couldn’t handle the pressure
He scored in each of the first 3 games, so I’d say he handled it pretty well.
Yeah probably thought it’s too much comparing what his getting paid so went of for a small vacation. The way he did during the season and staal carried the team to the playoffs
Explains why Letang struggles with 60…
Lines today with Horny out:
Guentzel-Crosby-Simon
Hagelin-Malkin-Kessel
Sheary-Brassard-Rust
Aston-Reese-Sheahan-Kuhnhackl
Dumoulin-Hunwick
Maatta-Schultz
Oleksiak-Ruhwedel
Letang matinance day.
Couts injury at practice looked bad
He got hurt? What happened?
Forget it. Collision in practice.
I just saw it. Yikes!
Was a collision with Radko Gudas that sent Couturier off. Couple line mates were huddled around him when McCrossin came out.
Offsets Hornqvist at least… I’ll have a drink for him…
Flames fire coach Glen gulutzan
Team failed to make the playoffs because they had no puck luck
You always use puck luck as an excuse. The real reason he failed is as simple as him being Canadian coach for a Canadian team.
Hornqvist is out for game 4.
another reason why d is the best – he’s always first to break a story. what a journalist.
Upper body… day to day.
I wonder if scum sully has something to do with with lol
Yes, 2 time cup champ scum sully just decided to bench him… retard
-5am… can you explain how you have exactly a +5 rating on all your posts while the people you disagree with the most often are exactly a -5?
Just because I am having a shit day to start due to some asshole that works in Winnipeg that I believe is dumb enough to be part of your genetic swamp I am going to systemically change this because fuckkyou
goddammit lol *Systematically
Bob Cole sucks. Glad i dont have to here that loser’s voice.
Stick to your nbc cast when they talk everything but the game during the match
I will. Doc Emrick is great.
Ducks lost. 8-1 must be puck luck
8-1… sounds like an average 1 hour block for yo mama
Busy day on the board
Auston Matthews with the game winning goal in a must win game.
Big deal. Nylander was the one with the game winner assist.
Marner was great tonight as well. That line was a big difference. Babcock did a nice job shuffling the lines tonight.
If only DB took notes. How to juggle lines
What lines would he be shuffling?
Still waiting…
Bruins lost tonight no puck luck
Npl hasn’t been laid lately by a guy
Must be cockk luck
Wouldnt that be NO cockluck?
Leafs looking good tonight. They showed up tonight. Like to see this series get stretched out.
This is why they got marleau a vet presence
That Anderson save was crazy in last few minutes of the game. Must be puck luck for bruins
Like -5am mom gets her asshole stretched out in the black neighbourhoods of Montreal which is why -5ammich is such a racist?
Npl sucks
Just like the rest of the democrats
I just discover a new knowledge of hockey if a team cant get in the other team zone and shoots the puck from blue line with no secondary chance because the other team does good job. We can blame puck luck. Typical penguins bandwagon hockey IQ. Led by npl and dusty
2 fat democrats
They probably sit home don’t work and when they have no job they call it work luck. Blame the system when their lazy asses don’t even look for work in the first place
And organize protest like
#BlackCockMatters
You think Doughty and Letang are comparable….that’s the proof of how big of a moron you are.
I don’t put then same level it’s because you bitchh about letang giveaways at least if doesn’t get scored yet doughty plays wrong a la orpig and team gets scored you don’t say nothing
Karlsson been bad
Burns been bad
Keith been bad
All around letang age except for karlsson.
U ingrish bad
Haha
You need to discover a language arts class lol
Who is Sam’s brother? God, two Sam’s is two to many.
Carramrod. Better english, but just as big of an idiot.
Please enlighten me with your wisdom oh great Dustin.
Ha! Good one.
One sammich is one too many, two -5ams has to be a fucken horseman
Sam thinks Fleury is good because the media tells him so. The puppet doesnt watch the games to realize the Kings have had no puck luck.
He listend to everything Kevin Weeks says and treats it like it’s gospel. Sam and his brother are 2 morons on here.
You are one certified clown if you think kings have no puck luck. If shows you and your buddy dusty haven’t watch that series . Vegas is dominating most of the game. More like Vegas needs to have puck luck quick been the mvp for the team. Vegas are working their bud off to score. Kings not so much. Most of the time kings are having hard time to get the puck out of their own zone. I guess that’s puck luck for you and your brother dusty
Kings are not even getting secondary chance in front of the net. But coming from a moron like you that drooled over DB system and when team choked with no secondary chance and blamed on puck luck everything is expected from your fat asss
Wait… so let me get this straight… Kings are not getting second chances and you are fully crediting MAF? Sounds like we should be patting the D on the back for standing up at the blue line and clearing away second chances and/or tying up their guys…
Hey dusty you clown watch Vegas 3 goal how bad doughty was positioned
And cost them the goal I guess kings should trade him
Dumb asss
Doughty is a real defenseman, not the fragile vag we have back there that can’t shoot or play physical. You’re one dumb mother funker if you think Letang is in the same class as Doughty anymore.
Fleury Suckss
So, do the guys learn their lesson from game two and continue that tighter play or do they shoot themselves in the foot and allow this one to tie up with another nice loss?
They have the extra day to decide so hopefully Sullivan can pound it into their heads that they need to stay in this form.
I don’t think they played all that much better in game 3 outside of special teams. We still heavily outshot them in game 2. We just didn’t hit posts and Elliott didn’t play as well or get as lucky in game 3. Murray played a lot better. Konecny scored whereas he stopped Patrick. I think game 2 was more of an outlier than anything. May or may not see one more. Pens in 5, 6 max.
I agree. I dont think Any of the scores reflect the play, although I thought the Pens looked the best in game 3. You just never know what goalie (on both teams) is going to show up. Pens in 6
I think they did a better job of keeping the offense simple and playing team D, overall the pace has been the same over three
Blow it up
