Strange. I must be misreading the bracket. From the tree they show on the NHL page made it look like we face winners of pens/islanders. How this works?

Highest advancing seed plays lowest advancing seed, and middle seeds play each other.

Are we all Islanders tonight?

Yessir.

They reseed the teams after each round.

The highest seed faces the lowest seed and so on.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Lol apparently refs missed an interference call on Orpik leading up to the Iginla goal.

 

[Green Wiggly]

Well, that's one way to end the first period. Off to have Mother's Day dinner, will be fun to see how many times I can check the score without getting busted.

Go Pens!

 

[lamaroo]

I hope nobody here owns a Q-Ray bracelet.

 

[Alucard]

Are we all Islanders tonight?

Not I, sir. Not I.

Gotta be honest. From what I've seen since the acquisitions, the Pens can't figure out how to play like a team. Doesn't help when individual players are coughing up the puck either.

 

[zedge]

Nope

Your tree sucks.

 

[Quick]

Yessir.

 

[Alucard]

I don't want to live if this series goes to game 7. Isles seem to have the "we want it more" factor this series.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Let's see how long the Islanders can hold the lead.

First round is often the toughest. I wouldn't take it so hard.

First round is often the toughest.

Unless you're playing the Canucks in the first round.

[JABEE]

Morrow to the box

 

[calder]

Omg Tavares.

Miller and Johnson so right during the intermission, Isles look faster than expected and Pens look slower.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Moulson with those stone hands.

 

[Red_Man]

Morrow to the box

Heart, truculence, grit, veteran leadership, etc.

 

[JABEE]

How did that miss!!!?

 

[gutter_trash]

go Isles!!! Underdog FTW

Are we all Islanders tonight?

oh yes

 

[Socreges]

So no one's going to point out that Sutter hacked Grabner in the leg way behind the play?

Amazing that was missed

 

[calder]

Moulson needs to put that one away


This game feels like it as 4-5 more goals in it. <3 shitty goalies

 

[Coldnoodle]

WTF REFEREE

 

[JABEE]

Why was that blown dead?

 

[Ricker]

Wow,early whistle there,jeez.

 

[Red_Man]

Not sure how Isles didn't score there, and what a surprise, Pens getting the early whistles.

 

[Alucard]

First round is often the toughest. I wouldn't take it so hard.

I've seen this dance enough to know when the Pens are in trouble. Just hope all that "veteran presence" they picked up at the deadline calms them the fuck down. Even then, they seem to play like chickens with their heads chopped off.

 

[Razorskin]

Fuck that ref

Islanders powerplay was nuts

 

[Heretic]

Unless you're playing the Canucks in the first round.

OH SNAP!

 

[AlexMogil]

Kinda hard to breathe during that whole pp.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

That ref blew the whistle as fast as he possibly could.

 

[Alucard]

I'm not even watching but I can tell by stats and comments how this game is going. Sounds like most of the series with the Isles outplaying the Pens.

 

[Cake Boss]

That veteran presence you picked up havent played a playoff game in half a decade.

 

[Cake Boss]

That ref blew the whistle as fast as he possibly could.

Next round is going to hard against Bettman team.

 

[JABEE]

Stupid penalty

 

[Antti]

Islanders need to capitalize on their chances. A Penguins goal is all it takes for the momentum to swing - they have a great chance now.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

This crowd is amazing lmao!

 

[Coldnoodle]

DE-FENSE DE-FENSE DE-FENSE

 

[KaYotiX]

Wow, Pens looking terrible tonight. Isles just have so much more emotion and that crowd is crazy.

Come on guys!

 

[ZeroGravity]

This is a pretty embarrassing effort by Pittsburgh so far.

EDIT: And just as I say that, they score lol

 

[Ricker]

This crowd is amazing lmao!

Yeah,they really are,haven't heard a crowd as wild as this in a while hehe...

 

[Coldnoodle]

Casey Cizikas got tripped, no call :lol

 

[lamaroo]

Next round is going to hard against Bettman team.

Sens would kill them. Actual goaltending, plus balanced scoring.

Isles

 

[C Jones]

Duper!

 

[Red_Man]

Tavares should play goalie too

 

[Alucard]

Nothing to fear, guys. Pens only have 2 shots midway through the period.

 

[KaYotiX]

Nice pass!!!

DAAAMN!!

 

[Smiley90]

Tavares should play goalie too

If he doesn't get the Hart after a season like that, he might have to.
