But I've always liked the Sharks. They were my western conference team growing up. Mostly because I've always loved sharks so it was a natural fit.

Great win by the Sharkies last night! That Evander Kane pickup is looking prettttty nice!

There are a lot of bandwagon/fake fans here - aka "Rock the Redders." Just ask them when they became a fan and you'll 99% know who you are talking to. lol

Wow...three goals in four games. Sadly, Quick put up MVP type numbers.

I couldn't have made this up if I tried.

And after the 2nd round of playoffs, it typically goes to 0% fans.

With that, my annual playoff contribution. I call it "Dancing Ovenchicken"

Can't blame Quick on that one.

If Vegas wins the cup, Seattle will get hosed - they will modify the draft rules so that they can't pick a team basically consisting of four second lines and four second pairs. (Plus Vegas did get a little lucky with the Rookies...) We'll see how far they can go.

Despite winning last night, they will be lucky to make the second round this year. The only reason they were able to put 60 minutes of effort in last night was because they had ~90 minutes to do it in! Frustrating...

Dropping my Mcsorley sweater at the cleaners today, probably also have them sew an extra fold in the sleeves so I don't keep dipping them in my drink - smh

I've definitely realized that. I live in Baltimore and wear my Flyers shirts/jerseys basically all year long yet I rarely see any people wearing Caps gear until its playoff time.

Kinda sad but I see more people in Penguins gear in the city than Caps gear.

In other news.... RIP Sean Couturier. If the Flyers had any chance of getting back in the series, it's probably gone. Watch Hakstol put Filpula on the top line now.

Yeah, but every year is different. Just had to get this years official stance.

[Yapakanichi]

you know that play marchand did, he should be ejected. Took a dive and threw his skates at the opponent when he went down. Why did no one see this?

Marty was the best eh? My other personal old school favs are Gretzky (#1 fan lol) and Alexi Zhitnik.

I can't root for the ducks even if they're playing the sharks. Can they both lose?

Ahh, c'mon, sharks are the last CA team without a cup. When the sharks were out, I always picj the next Cali team. Just dont want East teams.

As it should be in every city!

I saw the video...cheap clip even in practice. Makes you wonder what Gudas is working on

If it helps, Hoenqvest is out. Sad he had to take an "embellishment" penalty for something that will keep him out...

Which play are you talking about specifically?

Which game?

[ShopVac]

All the flyer pressure, only to have Kessel go down and score the other way.

Thanks Toronto, Kessel was worth the used pucks we paid for him...

[Ralph335]

Well that didn't start well. Can Elliott stop anything?

At this point start one of the kids from the AHL...

Wouldn't be the flyers without goaltending issues.

Edit:
Hahaha Neuvy starting off right where Elliott left off. This has got to be a joke.

[ShopVac]

Change your goalie flyers...it don't matter to Crosby.

[ShopVac]

Wow....a 5-0 snooze fest at the rink of what used to be a rival. Philly seemingly cashed it in with Couturier's injury.
