Eastern Conference: Philadelphia Flyers (M3) vs New York Rangers (M2)

I really hope the Rangers are sitting back wondering who they get in the next round like you guys here.

I really hope the Flyers are sitting back and wondering why they made this move

March 5, 2014 Traded D Andrej Meszaros to Boston for 2014 third-round draft pick.

They sure could use him now

Even though I picked the Flyers to win this 1st round match up, there is no way they beat Lundqvist 2 games in a row.. 0% chance..

Philly has never matched up well against the Rangers. Despite what's happened in Round 1, I still think Philly would beat the Pens and the Rangers would lose to the Pens. The only way Philly comes back is if Giroux has 6 goals in 2 games and Mason grabs a shutout. Both are unlikely to happen. It's not a good matchup for Philly. Whoever wins the Mon-Bos series will come out of the East.

wow, Flyers just owning this one so far

Simmonds is a monster. Talk about a player emerging into one of the best power-scoring combos in the league...

[The Comish]

Mason coming up big as well!

Hatty time.

Mason's glove is gross.

Hatty time.

I heard the announcers on TSN say they took away 14 garbage bags worth of hats!!! Now that's a hat trick!

[Mr. Guru]

I've always liked Simmonds as a real NHLer as opposed to fantasy.

Brings so much. Can move up and down the lineup. Excellent player even when he doesn't score.

i saw wayne simmonds at real sports last year, he was eating chicken wings.

that's my story, nothing cool happened, i didn't even talk to him. i just sat at the bar, sipped my gin and tonic, and watch him devour those wings. they seemed to be either Medium or some sort of BBQ if you really must know.

[Atomic Wedgy]

The boys just need to keep playing like this for 80 more minutes. I wonder if Lundqvist is pulled for the 3rd.

Your prediction might come true

[Atomic Wedgy]

The Rags seem to be playing right into our hands. If they want an emotional game with big hits and fights, we will come out on top as that stuff really fuels us. The Rangers need to be playing a much more controlled game against us. I'm quietly confident now going into Game 7.

hugggge win by the Flyers, they dominated every aspect of this game and even though they made some mistakes, the Rangers did not capitalize on them
