dont care for either team so dont much care about this series

 

[Derk]

Pens in 5. I don't care much about this series. If Fleury tanks again, things will get interesting and the Pens probably start their search for a new goalie.

 

[bustaheims]

Pittsburgh in 5. Fleury waits until round 2 to show his true playoff self.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Pittsburgh in 4. I needed a sweep and Columbus lost Horton again to injury.

Why is Bob Cole doing this game and not the Habs game?  I find that odd.

 

[Jalili]

Entertaining game so far.

Will either team go far in the playoffs? I would bet money against it, but it should be a spirited series.

Does anyone ever have issues streaming CBC online games? Both Mozilla & IE won't go for me...everything is up to date and current. Did a quick web search and nothing.

Pens just took a 4-3 lead in the 3rd after being down 3-1.

So wide open. Completely works against Fleury.

What...No one on the Senators fan site can help?

Do you have adblocks in place?  Or using anything that would make your IP look like it's not in Canada?

As Potvin29 mentioned...turning off Adblock might help. Also try other browsers such as Chrome or Opera. If you are using FF, check if you have any adons that might interfere.

I was just watching a compilation from Game 1 of Dubinsky shadowing Crosby, and what I saw was a bunch of penalties that (probably) weren't called (slashing the hands, spearing, hitting from behind, interference). I'm not a Crosby fanboy or a hater, but that was ridiculous.

Yeah. It'll be interesting to see if the refs watch Dubinsky a little closer this time around.

According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, the Flyers originally let go of Bobrovsky because he's a 'weak' playoff goaltender.

That was evidenced in Columbus 4-3 loss (Game 1) as Bobo allowed two very stoppable goals, even by his own coach's admission. 
The timing couldn't have been worse for the Blue Jackets, but then again no one expects them to secure a series upset of Pittsburgh.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

So apparently the Flyers dumped Bobrovsky because they didn't think he could get it done in the playoffs.

He let in a couple with odour on them in Game 1 and is now 3-1 down after one in Game 2.

Interesting, although I tend to lean on the Flyers have no clue about goalies side of things.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Just turned this one on. More OT eh? This has been a pretty great first round.

edit: Hah, I almost spoke too soon as Columbus had a chance late.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Crosby centering Stempniak and Kunitz...poor guy.

And Columbus win it in 2nd overtime. Fleury left out to dry on that goal.
