That's not remotely reminiscent of what happened in 2008, but Evgeni Malkin getting roughed up and then scoring is a beauty to see, let's see how much juice that gives the Penguins.

I know there's still a lot of game left, but this is not how I expected the Penguins to come out after a four year playoff drought, too many turnovers, and only nine shots so far.

I know Skinner was screened there, but that's a bad goal to give up.

Stuart Skinner's had to make some big saves.

The Penguins are giving up too many turnovers so far.

Penguins have been flat, Flyers with the much better play in this first period so far.

Gotta love seeing the two big giants in Soderblom and Ristolainen going at it.

8:25 puck drop for Flyers-Penguins game 1, three minutes later than I thought it was going to be, typical NHL.

Just like last year.

Stuart Skinner has to be the starter for the Penguins, he has the most experience getting the Oilers to back-to-back finals, it makes no sense for Dan Muse to go with a goalie rotation in the playoffs, not going to win series doing that.

What does everyone think of the new Pirates city connect unis? I love them.

Hockey may be a niche sport in the United States, but you can argue it's the best postseason of the big four.

The Reds are 11-8, just like the Pirates.

So no one really knows.

What the Steelers should do in the first two rounds, is trade up and take either Spencer Fano, or Vega Ioane, and then take a wide receiver.

@tsnmike I wouldn't take him either, it'd be too much of a hometown pick, it'd also remind me of when they took Kenny Pickett, but Allar is better than Pickett, plus he's coming off a bad ankle injury.

@Matthew_Sean96 Totally unnecessary pick.

How would Steelers fans feel about them taking Drew Allar?
