It would but we would have no energy left. It would be a really boring cup finals because the West team going to the finals will probably be badly bruised up aswell.
I don't think I could ever be bored watching the Pens in the finals.
This is gonna be huge. Time for Geno and Sid to step up. Time for the D to grab their sacks.
This is really going to be the story of this series (from the Pens side). Is the defense actually going to play better than they have played all season long? I sure as hell hope so...

Other than Letang all I want them to do is make the safe play every single time. And if Letang is going up ice I don't mind if Martin stays at center red until he gets back.
However I wouldn't be surprised if Sid, Letang, Neal, and especially Fleury sat out Saturday.
If they do, I'm going to be ****ing pissed. Tomorrow, is my only live game this season and the last 3 previous games I've gone to Sid wasn't in the lineup. I know I'm being selfish. but......**** that.

Needless to say I'm extremely worried about how Martin, Orpik, and to a lesser extent Michalek are going to play (in that order). Martin has been horrible for the past few weeks, and while Orpik and Michalek had a couple decent games, they haven't played well either.
If Philly forechecks hard and finishes every check (which I know they will), I think Martin is going to be a turnover machine.

ya it sucks. sadly that's a risk of getting tickets to the last game of the season.

I don't even know. I guess we get to wait and find out.

Never buy tickets to the last game of the season. If the team is good they'll rest their best players. If the team is bad, the game is meaningless and the players have nothing to play for.

Then Martin finds his way off this team in the offseason.

The only thing I can hope for is that we don't exit the zone WAY to early like we've been doing, causing the player carrying the puck to turn it over and create odd man and breakaway opportunities.
Plus the backchecking NEEDS to be good to bail out Martin's idiotic decisions from time to time.

Should be a good game regardless.
Buddy got them for free back in Feb. so it's about seeing the players and not the money. Just not going to be as excited to go due to it being meaningless, "especially" against Philly.

I really think the early exits are the biggest problem for us right now. Idiotic decisions are a strong candidate for 2nd though.

Early exits, horrible pinches, and idiotic decisions. These are all mental issues, and shouldn't have taken this long to sort out. It pisses me off because I've seen these players play so much better in the past (just not this season).

"Shirts off our backs" day. 18,000 PO'd fans if we get Baby Pens jerseys.
I could watch this is on a loop for the rest of my life and not get tired of it. So much goodness.
-The Shhhh moment, tainted only slightly by recent events
-****ing IMMEDIATE answer to the 3rd goal and fight
-Flyers knocking Pens over well after goals have been scored not once but twice
-Letang laying on top of Powe after the first incident
-Of course Sid embarrassing that punk Carter and silencing those mouthbreathers
I could go on
