Open Thread: Two potential clinchers tonight
It’s a bit of a light schedule tonight for the NHL, with just two games tonight. The Pens will try to extend their series with the Flyers tonight at 7:30 in Pittsburgh. At 8:00pm, the Predators will try to close out their series at home against the Red Wings. We could see both series end tonight.
Across the other sports, the Knicks (7:30 at Cleveland) and Mets (7:00pm vs. SF) are in action as well. Discuss what you want, just keep it civil.

Civility be dammed, this is playoff hockey!
There’s civility in playoff hockey? Only in the FLA/NJD series.
Knicks @ cleveland a.k.a who cares
Seeding purposes…I think they can lock in the 7 seed and a date with the Heat.
They still have a shot at 6th.
Yipee.
Well Carle makes up for it. 1-0 Flyers. Wonder if their momentum gets stunted if they win and have to wait a week to play again.
Yea. I agree. Let them sit around and stagnate a bit. To whoever wins this series, though, they better learn how to play D quick, and get some goaltending if they want to go any further.
But then again, it might help that bone chip in Bryz’s foot heal. Makes you wonder.
Do you think it’s still aggravated?
Bone chips are a pain. I’d have to assume so.
Neither Bob nor Bryz looked good…I’ll take either one
Pens complaining about calls and non-calls? How odd. Hoping they win tonight though…would love to see this be Philly in 7, but six would be ok by me also.
Pens fans complain whenever a player gets knocked down.
And Sully makes is 1-1…looks like another one of those games where they are shooting on a shooter tutor.
And it begins…
This is getting ridulous. Flyers are well over 50%the in the PP for the series and Pittsburgh isn’t too far behind…
I think it’s safe to say that defense and goaltending were not the focus in this series.
Man, Fleury almost looks like he’s diving *away* from the puck.
There was nothing MAF could do on that goal. The defense let him down there.
Has anyone seen Janne Makkonen’s NHL tribute videos, “Our Way of Life” and “Dare to Dream?” If not, do so, now.
What should I be more hapier about. The fact that the Penguins are coming back and might beat the Flyers in 7 games or the fact that Nashville won the series against Detroit and Radulov scored his first goal of the playoffs???
Clearly, neither. Pens need to get eliminated, they’re far more dangerous, I think, than Philadelphia.
And, who roots against Detroit? C’mon, man, they’re the Red Wings. What’s not to love about that franchise?
Anyone else have a hard time believing that Kenny Alberts’ voice is really his? Listening to him on MSG radio over the years, I always pictured an old-school stoic sportscaster. He doesn’t look the part at all.
