• It's over. 6-1 is the final. Back at it again against these guys in two days in Pittsburgh.
• Two minutes left.
• Why is anyone still watching this?
• Fans are chanting "WE WANT SEVEN!"
• GOAL: Owen Tippett. Neither team could hold onto the puck there for a little bit, Matvei Michkov picks off Danton Heinen in the slot and sets up Tippett in front: Flyers 6, Penguins 1
• Penguins back on the power play with 16:13 left. Nick Seeler hooks Evgeni Malkin.
• Bryan Rust is out of the box just as the Flyers ring one off the post.
• Penguins to the PK with 19:44 left. Bryan Rust sits for two for holding.
• Third period is underway.
• Alex Nedeljkovic still leads them out for the start of the third.
• End of the second. Flyers lead, 5-1 and have a 28-17 lead in shots.
• GOAL: Bobby Brink, 10 seconds later. Drives to the net and redirects in a Noah Cates feed. Might have hit P.O Joseph, who also went into the net. Flyers 5. Penguins 1
• GOAL: Noah Cates with 65 seconds left in the second. Alex Nedeljkovic made a save, scramble in front, Cates knocks in the loose puck. Flyers 4, Penguins 1
• GOAL: Flyers regain the two-goal lead. Tyson Foerster with another one-timer from the left circle off the rush. Flyers 3, Penguins 1
• Nothing on that power play.
• Penguins get their first power play. Garnet Hathaway sits for two for interference with 11:55 left in the second.
• GOAL: Phil Tomasino tucks one past Samuel Ersson's pad on a partial breakaway sprung by Michael Bunting to cut the Flyers' lead in half. Flyers 2, Penguins 1

• End of the first. Flyers lead 2-0 and have an 14-6 lead in shots as well.
• Probably should bring up Filip Larsson at one point here. Four shutouts in 15 starts.
• GOAL: Noah Cates beats Alex Nedeljkovic high-blocker. Another softie. Flyers 2, Penguins 0
• Flyers get a 3-on-1 with Erik Karlsson as the only man back and he intercepts a pass to break it up.
• Nothing on that Flyers power play.
• I like that they just keep Gritty caged in his little area atop the lower bowl, guarded by his secret service. He's just in there pacing around.
• Penguins to the PK with 13:12 left in the first. Anthony Beauvillier sits for two for high-sticking.
• Rasmus Ristolainen just saved a goal. Puck got past Samuel Ersson and was going in, Ristolainen swept it away.
• Owen Tippett records the Flyers' second shot of the game and Alex Nedeljkovic stops this one. Baby steps.
• Mike Sullivan was just down there shaking his head in disbelief after the goal.
• GOAL: Penguins had a decent start and got a pair of chances out of it. Play finally heads down their end and Rasmus Ristolainen gets the Flyers' first shot of the game, 3:56 in. Soft one-timer from the left circle, and it goes in. Flyers 1, Penguins 0
• Pretty empty in here, especially in the lower bowl.
• This game is underway.

• Hi from the building with the best soft pretzels in the league. I had three before warmups. It's also a free hoodie giveaway here tonight so I now own a Flyers hoodie. Not sure what the plan is for that.
