The Philadelphia Flyers are on the brink of advancing to the second round after taking a commanding 3-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins . The Flyers-Penguins rivalry had the potential to create an intriguing first-round matchup, but Philadelphia's domination has taken some of the juice out of the series. A cherry on top of the performance for the Flyers would be sweeping their in-state rival and sending them home.

"WHeck yes! Tippett iced it and the Flyers are up 3-0! Not surprised one bit, this crew's rolling." X user @liqui_sniper wrote .
"This changed everything. Pittsburgh should have never engaged. They played right into the Flyers hand. Unhinged hockey. Lots of game left. Pittsburgh needs a sniffer." Paul Bissonnette added .
"They look good. Darth Vladar looks good hopefully he's healthy. Pens couldn't get a big game from Skinner. Flyers in 5" @ DanD62178591113 furthered.
The Penguins are going to need to take it one game at a time if they're going to mount a comeback. Only four teams in NHL history have come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series, and the way the Penguins played so far this series doesn't give much confidence that they will become the fifth.

One issue that will have to change is the play of Stuart Skinner , who has been struggling as Pittsburgh's starter through the first three games. Pittsburgh had tons of momentum entering the postseason, but Dan Vladar outplayed Skinner so far and offensive struggles from the Penguins' forwards has it looking dangerously likely that the Flyers can finish the job in four games.
