My worse nightmare is an LA/NY finals and seeing Williams, Richards and Carter lift the cup.

really, you know they are Flyers WEST....ugh I hate that term...

plucking twitter tweeps...

The only reason the Flyers are even in the 2nd round is because Fluery forgot how to stop a puck. Brodeur hasn't been great but he's been a hell of a lot better than Fluery was. Every team that qualified for the playoffs in the East would have beat Pitts in the 1st round the way Fluery played.

Haha right. LA only beat Vancouver because they played better and the sky is Blue except when it's not.

Bryz reminds me of Pete Peeters...very stiff and not much movement, he doesnt look comfortable being a flyer and those rebounds?

Don't worry about hockey. You got a first place Birds juggernaut on your hands. This Orioles team is legit.
- PLindbergh31

good drafting by the whole NFC east, huh? should be a good year

Excellent point.
- Scoob

I don't think the Flyers were worthy of making the playoffs.

thanks...
looking forward to it...

hope you have a good weekend as well...

A bit of sun, some brew, and a nice meal will do it tonight. And that's just the start

I wanted to strangle Simmonds for his constant soft ass flips towards the Devils zone that got maybe 5 feet inside the blue line which was quickly transitioned into the Flyers zone. Yeah, he wasn't the only one but I counted at least a half dozen times he did it.
- nastyflyergirl

he's not the only one and these unforced loose plays have played THE pivotal role in this series...iow, they are beating themselves as much as the devs are.

I'm referring as much to detail-type plays where the flyers need to dump the puck deep to change lines or to change momentum by getting the puck to a safer area. they also had plenty of opps to lob pucks into corners where brodeur couldn't get to it.
- isaiah520

the devils are owning the neutral zone right now, which is affecting the Flyers ability to get pucks deep.

IMO the struggles have little to do with effort. It is the devils buying into a system that is negating the flyers attack. I actually think the flyers are close to breaking through 5 on 5. Devils allowed the flyers a bit more room in their own end as the game went on. The PP is a big issue. Flyers attacked their over aggressive kill on the Carle goal. Need more of that

Btw voracek is the flyers best forward by far

I agree, the Flyers were the better team in OT -- despite the two power plays they were awarded.

As soon as I saw them going for the change I yelled at the TV loud enough to wake up both kids.

I almost "Titanic'd" my remote. Very frustrating.

beside the line change screw up, the flyers were playing a dam good period. the devils are just making the flyers pay for their mistakes faster then the pens.

Stephen Hawking could be playing goal for the Devils right now. Broduer hasn't had to be that great.

where the heck is Jagr and Giroux? they both are in LA LA land and thats not going to be in LA.

Giroux has not been terribly effective. He needs to get back in gear and assert himself. I want Laviolette to be able to call him the 'best player in the world' again, I loved the bit of outrage that came after that.

Jagr I get he's 40. Theres speculation of a giroux injury. I read somewhere he was seen wincing and talking to the trainer during warmup?

what is the latest with couturier? ty

Actually, he reminds me more of Leighton.

Big. Not that mobile. Not athletic. Poor stick handler. Has a hard time rebounding to his feet once he's down. Very inconsistent.

Richards with the Gordie Howe hattrick

Seriously though, I hope you guys win. A Flyers/Kings Final would be amazing

This team is like a kid in high school that can't do their homework unless it's due in about 10 minutes (I know I was that kid and yes i worked on the next class's hw constantly in the preceeding class. I often said it's classwork not homework). There's a ton of mental mistakes going on out in that mess. Give the Devils their due they aren't making any, hence the 2-1 lead. My gosh where's the second and third efforts on Brodeur, traffic in front of the net, etc. Oh yea and the piss poor line change. Well I thought they'd get it done in 5 games guess it's gonna take 6 maybe 7 now.

I dont think he likes playing in Philly and I think the fans feel the same way about him

This team stinks right now wish we had Richards but the carter deal made up for it

- BulliesPhan87

I and the CBC announcers last night think that he's hurt.

I hope Cooter's ok... hopefully it's only a superficial cut and nothing too deep.

I think it's amazing that Kubina can't even play. He must have a torn labrum in his shoulder or something like that.

I was SOO sure that when Schenn tipped that shot in OT, that he had the winner. The season is on the line Sunday.

this could happen, LA looks very good right now

the fans want to love him so bad

got a huge standing ovation after one sequence in game 2 and there was an extended 'bryz' chant
