Another game tonight isn't there?

Am i right in thinking if the Flyers win the next 2 games they play 1 home and 1 away to determin the winner? Where as if the hawks win 1 then it's in the bag?

i'm a bit confused, It's best out of seven. So basically first one to 4wins, is the winner. Right now Blackhawks have a 2-0 game lead on the Flyers

Ohh. Isn't the same in the UK that's why i was asking. XD I was thinking it was 4 games and if the results where 2-2 it'd go into a further 2 games. Course that's only 6 games.

MY way made sense as well. They sure play a lot of games though. A final play off game here is 1 home and 1 away. And if the results 1-1 then it comes down to goal difference. I prefer yours tbh.

The NHL really plays a lot of games, with the 82 game season plus the 4 best-of-7 rounds.

And Creepy, if you want to know where the playoff games are played, I'll give you an example:
Chicago is a higher seed than Philly this round, so the games will be played in this order : @Chicago, @Chicago, @Philly, @Philly, @Chicago, @Philly, @Chicago.

Anyways, game 3 tonight

Oh, and honestly, I don't mind the Chicago goal song, I actually like it.

82 really isn't that many. The NBA and MLB play many more games than that

Not really. The NBA also has 82 games in a season, with 4 rounds of playoffs, best of 7 each. Exact same format as the NHL. Even the games are the same length - 60 minutes - except they are split into quarters of 15mins each rather than thirds of 20 minutes each.

The MLB however do play a lot more games...but they're able to play more, as it's not really as intensive a sport as hockey and basketball are.

Blimey that was slightly worrying when the goal got waved off.

Flyers certainly deserved the win this time around. Not a fan of there goalie though.

Guy seems to come out with butter all over his hands. Can't hold onto the puck for the life of him. That's been the biggest difference IMO between the two teams Hawks have got the better guy in front of the net.

As long as we're keeping with the bad puns, Antii will get no-emmy for his his performance on TV so far this round.

Game 4 tonight

. Should be better than the last game (not a giant fan of close call goals).

Well, they get to fly from Philly to Chicago after this game.
