I'm so sick of hearing about the Stanley cup winning teams of the 70s

Definitely, Raffl/Coots/Read looking great.

I know. I still think the best fit in the top 9 is without Vinny

The guy that has been punched 1000 times in the head.

OK. I admit it: I laughed.

jj said they are going to call it tight. we know they will one at least
- hogweed

so you've just called two really borderline penalties on the home team so why not let an obvious trip of adam hall in the offensive zone go uncalled. remember when the flyers were really good?

I hate seeing 2 ticky tack calls against us esp a barely touched trip, and seeing basically a tackle and then cross check right in fornt of the ref let go for the other team

JJ...

at least the Flyers are playing better over the last 5 - 8 minutes.

The 1992 team doesn't get enough love. Tommy Soderstrom.

Oh look, Hartnell getting manhandled by a kid.

Ticky tack or not, flyers put themselves in positions for those calls.

JJ...
- Tomahawk

agreed. There's enough embellishment going on, without saying that players NEED to do it.

- funmaster18

right, but the other team can put themselves in much worse positions and not get called?

- Tomahawk

His act is wearing thin, IMO. If he's stick to announcing and kept his homer opinions to himself it would do wonders.

I thought Girouxs was very ticky tack. If you go to a game, you'll see things like that and chops to the back of the knee on a regular basis.

Grossmanns was just a dumb penalty.

JJ was saying G should have "flopped" when Marchand x-checked him in the back.

Cant argue with you there, but all you can do is take care of your own business.

Thanks coatsey, lots of technology in those pads. They even have to charge them overnight

Bruins superstar dmen since the 67 expansion:
Orr
Park
Bourque
Chara

Flyers:
Howe
and for a VERY brief time, Pronger

sigh...

...With the way the refs are calling the game. Dont leave out that part. I dont have a problem with what he said. After those two calls you know everyone on the bench will be looking for calls now.

- Tomahawk

Would rather he didn't. It's sad that flopping is encouraged around the league though. Flops are rarely ever called and when they are they always take both players involved.

- Tomahawk

and Keith Jones basically agreeing with him.

Of course the other way around he's say how they need to get it out of the game

Nice stop Mase!

Glad to see someone has shown up to play today
