There is. It's called the youtube comment section, the Mos Eisley of the internet.

Has to feel weird for flyers fans to see non fans continuing to back your team(because of the pure hate...and insecurity with the pens).

be careful posting on their boards. Their fans all said that we shouldnt have had our first line out at the end of the game (when Briere got leveled by Vitale). I simply corrected them and said Briere isnt our first line center and they rebuttled by saying Philly school fans failed me.

Next thing you know a bunch of them reported me to a moderator and I got a warning for "flaming."

Like their Captain, coach and GM - the fans, are a bunch of hypocritical crybabies.

This series is going to be rough. I think Philly is the type of team that would target Crosby. I also think Bryzgalov will be the story in this series.

Philly in 4

Jagr(who is being totally overlooked by most everyone) will salute the Pens and their failed playoff hopes after 6 games this season.

Hahaha, we won 4 of 5 games by luck!!

Yes, yes, I certainly hope my Pens win and I do believe they have a fairly decent and competitive team, but I've also been around long to know it's simply manic fanboyism to discount the possibility your little dreams can be dashed and there's nothing you can do about it.
We could absolutely lose this series.

Here are the issues with both teams:

Flyers: slow d-men (no Mez, we may have Grossmann back tho), Matt Carle, Bryz going into the woods again, rookies not having the stamina to carry through playoffs, high scorers in regular season who may not have what it takes in post-season due to lack of experience, missing Briere

Pens: Crosby and Malkin getting Head-f***ed by the Flyers (as they seem to get very agitated and off their game by us), MAF's five-hole circa 2007 (and sometimes as of late), taking bad penalties

It's fairly even. Either team could go home. I think either way it goes to 6 or 7 games.

Going to be interesting for sure, especially to see the pen's coaches, Crosby's, and Malkin's antics. Hopefully not too much dirty play, and flopping around by the pen's. Though i doubt it.

This will hopefully be as epic as Vancouver/Chicago last year. Just two great teams that absolutely detest each other.

And I'll get to enjoy it because my team isn't involved

Posting on other peoples boards is the same for everyone just don't do it. Pens fans get banned quickly on flyer's boards, as blackhawks fans get banned easily on canucks boards as everyone gets banned ridiculously quickly on leafs or habs boards.

And now I will point out that you one as well...since the flyers moderators are no different. In fact no board on hf is. But yeah point out the pens.

Actually, I was just informing a Rangers fan to not post on the Pens board.

And your basic use of the English language is flawed, to put it nicely.

Anyone else find it really weird that there is absolutely ZERO mention of this matchup on NHL.com?

I know the Regular Season is still on, but this is PURE marketing material to hype the playoffs even more, don't understand why they can't push the fact an epic series like this has been set. It could be used to push the game tomorrow as well.

Weird.

Yeah, I'm sure you were a respectful saint when you went to their board.

It's hilarious you label the Pens entire organization as crybabies while simultaneously creating a river of tears about being banned from some other team's board.

Will be a tough series that could go either way, but the homer in me says the Flyers have the Pens right where they want them. 4 games will be at fortress Consol Energy center.

I wonder if the Flyers will take notice that according to the NHL you can stick out the knee on guys like Malkin and Crosby without fear of supplementary discipline.

1. It's like that on every team's forum, rivals fans who try to start **** get banned, Pens fans get banned from Flyers threads, too you know?

2. Hmm. Crosby, Bylsma, and Shero. Hypocrites? Babies? How? Something tells me you don't know the meaning of the word hypocrite.

Here is what I want you to tell me. I want you to give me 1 example from each person, tell me what one of them does that they don't want others doing, then give me an example of being a baby.

And if you're going to call out a team's coach and player for somehow being a baby even though they had rarely anything to say about the topic, then please call out your own team's coach(es) and player on doing the exact same thing.

The NFL page on Reddit has trash talk threads where everyone's posts are automatically in caps. Absolutely, mind-bogglingly hilarious. If only we could have something similar here...

No you have it wrong. Only anyone who happens to play on the same team as Crosby and Malkin can get away with that. League rules are league rules.
