 No Man.  Pitt has this one.  You seem to always pick the underdog even when they arent the underdog!  Im getting Pitt at     -118.  Im taking that to the bank.  Phili cant compete.  They have Hatcher playing 25 minutes right now.  Anytime Big Hatcher is out there, many wrong things may happen.  Hes slow, out of shape, stupid and does not belong in the "New NHL".  The Flyers will turn over tonight.  Its been a great run for them, but honestly they cant contend with Pittsburgh.  The Puns are Just flying right now.  Ill ride them until they faulter.

P.S.  I don't think "slow, stupid and out of shape" would have help 'Big Hatch' in the "old NHL" either.

Pittsburgh has dominated the first two games and I believe that the trend will continue.  Malkin has been all over briere and the rest of philly looks slower and less talented.  Maybe the home crowd helps but I like Pitt here.

Let's get realistic here:  Philly nearly didn't even make the playoffs.  Their top D-man is gone, and their goalie has been solved and then some by the Pens offense.  The Flyers no longer have any business playing in this tournament.

PIT is playing like a runaway freight train.

PENS PL 

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out Philly.

I agree about Hatcher 100%. I never thought he was worth a shit even when he was younger. Always overpaid and overhyped. Cost my Wings a shot at the cup a while back. If Philly is to win a game, this is the one. I'm still looking at this.

Early lean on philly and the over. I definately like the over!

Unit_G,
Where have you been all my life!!! haha.  You are bang on.  This home ice advantage is rediculous!  They should not be close to even money.  Pitt has dominated this series, and now that Biron looks human and Hatcher is head man on the point... along side who?  Lasse Koukenen and Randy Jones??? hahaha.  It is a poor example of a playoff defense core.  With Coburn, timonen and rathje out, or playing injured they dont stand a chance... especially now that Birons Special Super Human Powers have dwindled.  My entire bankroll will be put  on Pitt tonight.  I know that if Phili wins one its this one, i just dont believe they will win any.  Im betting both series end in sweeps.  And i think ill ride my entire bankroll on all the next 3 games to be completely honest.  I have tickets for Game 5 At the Joe!!!  Im Hoping to see sid and gino get romped by the wings in 5.   But Yea, Hatcher is a huge Douche!  ever since he played on the wings and i got to see how slow and stupid he was.

RIDE THE PENS TILL THEY LOSE,CROSBYS GETTING BACK INTO HIS GROOVEAND PHILLYS D IS PLAYING TO MANY MINUTES BECAUSE OF INJURIES, I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF COBURN PLAYS LIMITED MINUTES TONIGHT AFTER THE INJURY THE OTHER NIGHT .ALSO DONT THINK HE GETS BACK INTO HIS REG ICE TIME TILL GAME 4, THATS LEAVING 5 DEFENSIVE MEN TO ROTATE FOR PHILLY IN THE GAME AND I THINK THE PENS WHERE THEM DOWN IN THE 3RD...  PENS 5-3

Just a hunch and slightly better bang for the buck on home ice here on da Flyers! Count it...

No Timonnen + No Coburn = no chance!  The rest of the Flyers defence is old and slow, and can't keep up with the Pennies speedy forwards.  For the Flyers to win, Biron will have to be a wall and stop 35+ shots. 
 
Pens ML in this one.

Penguins vs. Flyers PL -1.5 +260 (1 unit to win 2.6) - going out on a limb here and taking the underdog to get it done at home.  Hopefully they can win 3-1 or 4-2, but I have a gut feeling that it'll be only a 1 goal victory for Philly.  I would also consider taking the under in this game... also a gut feeling after two 6-goal games.

I agree that home team advantage has the least effect in Hockey of all sports but I'm with Pronk on this one. The teams that do have the decent home ice advantages in the NHL are Detroit, Montreal and Philly so I'm riding with Philly in this one.
 
W8Lifter I was dumb to ride your "insider info" under pick on that Detroit game last night and I'm still kicking myself... cost me a five teamer!  And I always play the over in Detroit games... I know my fault not yours but jeeze... KILL your Insider!

Going with Flyers Over 2.5 -145 (1 Unit) & Pens PL -1.5  +230 (1 Unit)....Calling Game 5-3'ish Favor of Pens
 
I Say Flyers Come Out Strong in 1st Period Rushing the Net, But Then Will Tire Defensively in 2nd & 3rd, Allowing Pen's to Lite Up The Lamp.
