To be fair, if Marty's Mom doesn't pass away that night, we pass away in 5 games. They really rallied around that then got some breaks when Kreider ram-rodded Price right out of the series lol

I do NOT think I would BET the Penguins this game. I have seen Michal Neuvirth get HOT before. besides the 30 saves last game recently WON @ Columbus 2-1 (OT) on 35 saves and WON 4-1 @ VGK on 38 saves. I am NOT sold on Matt Murray for the Penguins

Yes, it's something how psychology in sports can be a big factor sometimes.

Murray has two shutouts in this series so far and shutout the Preds twice in the Finals last year. That's four in the past 11 playoff games. Yes, he lets in a bad goal here and there, but so do most other goalies. I think he comes up big more often than not.
Another thing to think about for tomorrow's game: Murray is 9-1 lifetime in the postseason in a game following a Pens loss, the only exception being Games 3 and 4 against Nashville last year.

well we will see. Murray came in off injury for Fleury last years Eastern Conference final vs the Senators and won games 4 & 5 BUT lost game 6 to force a game 7 which the Penguins WON in OT.
in Neuvirth's other significant playoff performance for the Flyers two years ago, down 0-3 to the Capitals Neuvirth replaced a struggling Steve Mason – much like he has replaced a laboring Brian Elliott in this series.
Neuvirth won Games 4 and 5 in that 2016 first-round series. He stopped 31 of 32 shots in a 2-1 win in Game 4, then blanked the Caps, 2-0, in Game 5, which the Flyers won despite getting outshot, 44-11. In Game 6, Neuvirth was again brilliant, turning aside 28 shots in a 1-0 Flyers loss.
In those three games, which were his only playoff appearances that season, Neuvirth had off-the-chart numbers a 0.67 goals-against average and a .981 save percentage BUT lost that series 2-4 from NO "goal support" game six

I am not for conspiracy but the way the penguin layer down game 5... Really... Seems like the state of Pennsylvania wanted to cash in more tickets. I personally believe pens close it out game 6. No need for game 7 as pens will move on to the second round and will continue to sell out. Really feel this series was set up for $$$. Basically go 3-3 and game 7 determines the winner. Pennsivlaina wins right?. Yeah yeah conspiracy.. Really disappointing game 5 how the pens layed down.

Either that or NBC needed some compelling drama to show on TV today

well the Penguins hardly "layed down" game 5 with 32 SOG's to 25 for the Flyers and 13-8 in the 3rd. it was tied 2-2 going into the 3rd and a lucky shot by Sean Couturier @ 18:54 put the Flyers up 3-2 and a last second "M-T" made it a 4-2 final. Penguins like the Predators later last night got "robbed by a masked man"

Fair. I guess being biased I saw this as an easy pens series. Unlike a few other series where the stakes are the same this one seemed to weigh heavy on the pens side. Just didn't see them losing at home here. For a moment felt what if. What if someone said Let them win. Sell out the Philadelphia arena. More money for the state. Just felt "fixed". Sorry not sorry. Other instances where the team really battles through desperate for a win sure but not this game. After period one I felt pens were laying down. This is sports. Enternaiment business. "Business" sell tickets. Shit why not make every series go 3-3 and decide the outcome game 7. Ticket sales boom. Nhl could use it.
Just venting and bullshitting so please this is just for bullshitting purposes lol.

Pens didn’t lay down Game 5. They had some great shots on goal, Neuvirth just stopped some that Elliott wouldn’t have. They did look horrid on PP tho. Game could have easily been 5-1 but just didn’t go their way.

When Nuevirth gets hot he is unbeatable, in 2016 he single handedly won Games 4 and 5 against the caps to send it to game 6 where the flyers lost 1-0 I believe. Flyers win today and take it to Game 7

Cities get hot, seems stupid but look at Boston, Houston, and this year with the rise of the Sixers and Villanova, and the Phillies this is not a place you want to be playing in..energy carries over concrete.. and you got a key player scoring Friday while hurt....
This game totally smells Under/Philly time to set up game 7
Don’t step in front of trains people, it’s back down the Pa Turnpike we go( btw has some of the best truck stops in the world including Truck Stop Annies if anyone knows what that means)

Was thinking the exact same thing yesterday and was going to create a thread but didn't
Horse racing isn't the only corrupt sport in that state I guess.
If the fix is in.......there definitely will be a game 7 in Pittsburgh.
