Ok bud.. you kinda missed the point there though.

Hush!



Flyers Stink..

Hush!



Flyers Stink..

Can't argue with ya there the last 20 games or so. I hope they wake up in time for the playoffs. They were the best team in the Eastern Conference through 3/4ths of the season. Unreal how they just start trying to coast. Time to ramp it up!

Ryan Miller was simply a beast tonight.

I also have never seen such a lack of urgency that the Flyers displayed in the final 3 minutes of the game.

MTL looks back to the 2010 playoff form. I still think Halak>Price though

Eh. Miller played a fine game, but the Flyers also blew a couple pretty good chances. They let this one slip away, like you said, with a lack of urgency.

I'm just going to say that if we lose this series, i'd seriously start considering moving Richards and/or Carter. Im sick of the party all night crew and how it always seems to transfer over to their lack of hustle on the ice. Carter in particular can GTHO. I've never seen a more talented player care any less than he does most nights.

They are not moving Carter. He just got a big contract extension. Maybe he is mad because Ryan Howard is engaged to his former girlfriend.

CapitalFan must have had a strange sense of deja vu last night as for the second straight year an 8 seed took them to OT in game one. This year they won.

For me the only series that counts is Canadiens-Bruins. I live in Vancouver so the faster the Canucks go out the better for me but they will probably last a couple of rounds and the people around will make my life miserable. They are having jersey day tomorrow and allegedly only Canuck jerseys can be worn.

I told our COO what will you do if I wear my Canadiens' one?

The Canucks are playing on another level this year.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Halak is not > Price. Price is by far the better goalie. We made the right choice.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Miller played fairly well last game.. but the Flyers are just getting screwed out of this series with some of these penalty calls man. Im not one to usually complain about officiating, but a 5 minute major for putting your arm up when someone is taking a run at you, and double roughing minors when you're getting cross checked in the back 6 times in a row while your facedown and helpless on the ice.. and getting cross checked in the back and punched in the face with a cheap shot from the goalie? Unreal.

Im a true Texan, but I hate the Stars...who btw are not a true Texas team. My team is the Pittsburgh Penguins and has been since the mid-late 80s.

All my other teams are Texas though...but then again, I am San Antonio, born and raised....San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Astros, Texas Longhorns TAMU-CC Islanders, and Judson Rockets.

In fact, three of my favorite wrestlers are from Texas....Stone Cold Steve Austin (Victoria), HBK (San Antonio), and The Undertaker (Houston area I believe).

GO PENS....up 3-1...let's bring it back to Pittsburgh and close this son of a gun out.....

Bruins showing some heart coming back from down two games and down 2 goals in a must win game 4. Winning last night's thriller was huge.

Bruins Canadians, best rivalry in sports.

That game was pretty epic. Thomas' save in the 2nd overtime was one to remember.

i missed the first 4 games of the playoffs and so I was super stoked to sit down and watch my Pens play yesterday....and then the Pens neglected to show up for the game.....and I have still yet to see the Pens play...

what a disgusting embarrassment that was....8-2, really?

At least they are up 3-2 and have 2 games to close this out....also, they are 2-0 in Tampa and only 1-2 in Pittsburgh....game 6 is in Tampa

GO PENS

Haven't seen much of them, usually catch a Preds game on TV here, and they've just won their series so good for them. First time they've advanced...ever. But, I'm still gonna root for the Pens.

Gionta shot it right at him. If he hits it straight, it's in but he angled it and it went right into Thomas. Great save but not as great as some you see.

Canadiens were 5-1 in elimination games last playoff, hopefully they can pull out another two this year.

Canucks are choking big time and that puts a smile on my face to say the least.

It seems as though the Hockey gods are making them (the Habs) pay for all the diving they do. :

oh please, they don't dive anymore than marchand, Bergeron, Recchi, Krecji etc

We just don't have whiner broadcasters like Jack Edwards complaining about it all the time like the Bruins do.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Go BOLTS!

Evened it up tonight. Vinny and the boys head back to Pitts to close it out.

Bob Cole says hello.

Glen Healy would too but he can't hear with his head stuck up Cole's arse.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

so when has Bob Cole complained about diving?

 

[TheCowboy]

Sabres vs Flyers will be epic tonight. I hope Buffalo wins cause I hate Philly, but then I hope Buffalo loses in the next round so it can make everyone here sad. :laugh2:
