Penguins Beat Flyers Again in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals

The Pittsburgh Penguins currently have the best record of any team in the playoffs since the postseason began. With last night’s 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pens have improved 10-1. Since this is their second game (and second victory), they are halfway to winning the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals. If I were Philly, I’d be very worried.
To be fair, the Flyers have been dealt a couple blows – they lost Kimmo Timonen to a blood clot before the start of the series, Braydon Coburn got knocked out of the lineup early in last night’s game after taking a puck to the face and the first two games have been played at the Pens’ Mellon Arena, where they have been hugely successful during the playoffs.
Here’s the scoring summary:
PHI: Carter, J. (PPG, 05:46 in 2nd), Richards, M. (SHG, 19:36 in 2nd)
PIT: Crosby, S. (PPG, 10:48 in 1st), Hossa, M. (PPG, 13:43 in 2nd), Talbot, M. (08:51 in 3rd), Staal, J. (19:31 in 3rd)
The Penguins are really on a roll. Maybe on home ice, the Flyers will be able to turn things around and make this series a bit more exciting because the only thing I’m finding interesting right now is how similarly the Eastern and Western Conference Finals are playing out. Can you imagine how crazy it would be if the Pens went up against the Detroit Red Wings for the Stanley Cup? It would be insane!
