You could insert anyone from STL but Oshie and Sobotka into that sentence.

Well I mean it wasn't likely the Blues escaped the conference with the way the Hawks and Ducks are playing.

Should be an entertaining finish to the series for sure. Despite the results, I don't think home ice means much moving forward. The Kings can win anywhere in the playoffs, and the Blues have been the better team thus far.

OTWP, congrats on the seats...but I hope you have a miserable night. :D

Huge game for the Wild tonight - a win, and it's a whole new series. If they play like they did for the majority of game 3 (which they mostly dominated), it can happen. Not holding my breath, but here's hoping...

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?

Fleury was terrible but the whole team is getting outplayed. That shouldn't be happening with the talent on the roster. But all anyone will talk about is Fleury now. Islanders have been on the offensive the last two games.

It wasn't THAT bad until that last one... not Flyers/Pens incompetence besides the one behind the net... just some odd deflections... but, holy shit, that might have bee the worst goal I've ever seen.

Hope it goes 7... it's been a fun series to watch, mostly since the Pens refuse to play defense and take away the middle of the ice. Even some in game one and quite a bit in game 2 before the comeback, the Isles were getting a lot of quality chances... and they're beating the Pens at their own game, which is even more impressive, considering the Pens were playing pretty good defense earlier in the season.

Vokoun starts Game 5. Period.

You picked up Vokoun for this exact scenario and credit to Shero for doing so. Fleury has been atrocious for a second straight playoff year. The Islanders have been controlling play from Game 2 on, but this situation could be so much worse. Tied 2-2, going back home for a pivotal Game 5...it could be a LOT worse.

So the Battle of Sprint Center Whored Out Teams is tied at 2 now.

Fleury has been ****ing terrible. He's gone for the playoffs. Play Vokoun no question about it. This team needs their asses chewed. They need to come out game 5 and play like they should be playing.

Poor Budaj...

Fleury has been Cassel-esque.
That should say it all.

Penguins are playing ok Fluery sucks

I was just saying Fleury is like Cassel. Lost all of his confidence and everything goes wrong.
