I like him Big, tough, fast, and the best goal scorer in the league. Plus, I've only ever seen him dive once I've seen Crosby dive more times than i can count

He's washed up .

I'm surprised but LA is getting throttled in this game. The entire game is pretty much being played in LA's end.

Yeah they are, i still wouldn't be surprised if they pull it out in the third and win it in OT.

He just won the Richard and is a finalist for the Hart, he's hardly washed up.

It is weird how many former flyers are in this game.

must say the ings/Hawks and Bruins/Pens series should be excellent.

The Kopitar line is not as sharp as it was last year and Hawks have way too much skill for LA. I think this goes 6 at most, and I would say same for Pens winning over Bruins.

Then the Hawks-Pens series will be like an all star game series. I don't remember when was the last time two such highly skilled set of forwards met in SCF in salary cap era. There's 8-10 all stars in that lineup.

Think it'll make him miss happy hour?

Amazing there was no call on that. Bolland left his feet & got Richards' head.

There's no doubt these are the 4 best teams in the NHL this year, usually we have a surprise team that sneaks up on everyone but not in this final four.

This is absolutely my worse case scenario, Kings with former flyers everywhere maybe going for a repeat, the Hawks beat us just a couple of years back in the finals , Boston schooled us the year after the amazing comeback on their way to the stanley cup (plus i just dislike boston teams), and the pens well...

Hawks d is phenomenal and everyone of them has above average mobility

Putting our d up against them. Knowing both want to play a certain similar style. It's depressing

I agree that the Kopitar line has to pick it up. But I don't agree that the Hawks have too much skill for LA. LA did not play it's normal physical game and got outworked. I don't expect that to continue. And I pick the Bruins to beat the Pens.

He's not the same player he was 3-4 years ago. I don't care what he did this year, a half season and really except for the cup most of these "awards" are suspect to me.

But the Ovi fork yoooooooooooou

I seriously would not trade Giroux for him, to me that's like a crackhead pawning his mothers wedding ring.

The Pens do have a tendency to pout and lose their heads if teams play them tough, like we did last year. But I think having guys like Iginla and Morrow will exactly prevent that from happening. I think Matt Cooke cancels out Marchand. I think Jagr bombs. Its nuts that Jussi Jokinen cannot even find a regular spot on the 3rd line.

So he has a shift like game 5 against Montreal in 2010 this series then disappears?

They were pouting pretty good at the end of their only game lost to the Senators, and Iginla was at the front of it
