w/e they played like poop. ill be worried when we lose 3 games.

So now that the goalie didn't steal the game, we are left with non competitive dogpoop against Greene, Fayne, Gionta, Carter, and the rest of these (frank)ing stiffs.

Cool third period.

There isn't a single player on the Devils that is a stiff. They are a good team, that just outworked and out played the Flyers.

Giroux, Briere, Jagr were GODAWFUL today.

I'd say everyone but Bryz was.

look like a bunch of monkeys humping a foot ball this is pathetic when will these dummies learn you cant dump the puck against the devils complete lack of shooting complete lack of offense and hung Bryz out to dry.... FRANKIN PATHETIC

.........In a period.

Makes more sense.

They have to realize they have to work hard in playoff games? Second no show game in 8 playoff games.
- PLindbergh31

They were outworked bottom line. They need to play with their backs against the wall. Its a series now and you have to play solid hockey or the season wont be much longer. Its one game though. Have to get it done on the road now.

Marty sounds like such an idiot when he talks.

This should be a nice head check for the team.

Wellwood was good and a couple of others, not many though.

Full marks for the Debs. They were terrific tonite.

This is the youth of this team...they'll come back more focused on the road Thursday

I don't think they can even match the Flyers if they actually play.

If the Flyers play the way they did tonight they couldnt beat a high school team.

That was really, really, really frustrating to watch.

The Panthers who were the worst playoff team since the lockout with a -24 goal differential didn't play one game like this in an entire 7 game series against this team.

Devils missing their best player, they have a suspect defense at best with not one legit bigtime d-man, and a 40 year old goaltender. This is an absolute cluster(frank).

A 1-0 third period lead turns into a 4-1 deficit, is (frank)ing inexcusable.

The Devils defense isn't suspect. They're a better defensive team then the Flyers are. I really don't know why many are underrating the Devils as a team.

I wouldn't even call tonight playing.

youth? How was Briere, Jagr, Hartnell tonight? The leaders failed

I really thought the turning point of this game was the penalty on JVR. They were pressing hard and somehow only JVR gets a penalty.

It's not on the refs obviously, but I thought the call changed the flow of the game.

I'd say everyone but Bryz was.

I saw effort from the D in general, esp Coburn. I would say Simmer tried and JVR was good initially before he caught the bug. Read had his usual Carter like game: Goal, otherwise invisible.

I saw Briere grinning in the box after his penalty in our zone. Like I said, too big for themselves. Got thrashed by an average team.

My God people its one game. The Devils may have played their best game of the playoffs tonight, and the Flyers probably played their worst.

Its one game to one. Still a long way to go.

Were they using papier mache sticks?

Well...the Phils won and the Sixers are kicking butt...

Good job Bryz, Coburn, and Im sure Im missing 1 or 2 others.


That was bad. They played like they were up 3 games to 0. I expect them to respond effectively Thursday.

God, I hope it's just the youth of the team.

I also wish I could find ONE guy who came to play ... other than Bryz.

The Flyers have no one to blame but themselves

This "average team" put up 102 points in the best division in hockey.
