Couldnt figure out why the Flyers were still trying to goon it up down 2-1 in a 3-1 series. Wasted time and opportunity. Gave NJ powerplays which they finally converted on to make it 3-1. Then the Lou Lamariello neutral zone bog-down occurred and it was good night.
In that situation, its time to stop going for the big hits and cheap shots. Time to get some puck possession and pressure in the NJ zone.
I think they were trying to become emotionally vested in the series. Before the big hits in last night's game this series was pretty much a pillow fight. Rare that you see two teams go through a series without hating one another, which is exactly how this series went.
Now I don't care what happens in the playoffs. Just please, someone beat the stinkin rangers

:fp: JVR ... always score when you take bad penalties ...
he should be wearing carter's 17
yes, I went there. he's entering that territory for me. package him and bob in a trade
frustrating end to a fun season. they have work to do but the future is bright. worst part is that the biggest question is the same thing it's been for 25 fucking years :roll: (yes, I know bryz was solid vs NJ, but he's still more of a question mark than answer at this point)
carter and richards in the conference finals again. less points and worse position this year and same level of playoffs....want to reconsider the 'these trades were steals' comments?
as for Bryz cleary the Flyers didn't check out his personality or didn't seem to care that they guy is basically nuts. 8 more years...might be the worst contract in philly now?

Roman Checkmanek was absolutely nuts, and he was probably the best goalie the Flyers have had in the last 20 years. The problem there was that he showed up his teammates who couldnt score to save their lives.
Wonder what he is up to these days.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.
however, i think a case could be made that the richards deal was not as good....jury is still out on it
schenn and simmonds both had pretty good years. and both were great vs pitt.
I love richards but he got another concussion this year (hasn't been the most durable guy) and his contract was pretty ridiculous (something like 8 more years). I see why the flyers got out from under that commitment.
bryzaster said to a russian newspaper that the treatment he received from the phila fans wouldn't be wished upon his worst enemy. Amnesty please.

boy, thank god for the sixers. right?
in all seriousness, i have to apologize. last tuesday i parlayed the sixers with the flyers. my buddy, huge flyers fan who's had season tix for years, told me the flyers were going to sweep. so, money line it was with the sixers +6 or whatever the line was. never thought it would the flyers to let me down in that one. luckily i had the sixers in a separate bet to break even.
aaaaaanywho, that was my first and probably only hockey bet ever. they didn't win another game. i'm sorry guys.

There was a point two years ago when Bobrovsky genuinely looked like the Flyers goalie of the future. By the playoffs, it was apparent he was not. Being a back-up goalie is not easy in the NHL, especially after you were a starter who won 28 games the year before as a rookie. If there is one thing the Flyers learned this season, it’s that Bob is not suited to back up, especially given how infrequent his starts were among the 29 games he played. He simply couldn’t find any kind of acceptable rhythm and finished with a very mediocre 3.02 GAA and .899 save percentage. He has one year left on his contract and it would behoove the club to find an accomplished back-up ala Brian Boucher’s pedigree, who can function better with long periods of inactivity. Someone like Scott Clemmensen in Florida, who is used to the back-up role and will be unrestricted this summer. Bob is 24. The guy ahead of him has eight years left on his contract. In fairness to Bobrovsky, the Flyers should move him to where he can be groomed into a full-time starter. He’s not going to develop here and he’s not going to play here.

if you can get somethign decent, trade him.
i still think he didn't get a fair shake in last years playoffs. the playoff round robin in net last year was a joke.

Jeff Carter with a hat trick as the Kings move to 10-1 in the playoffs against the #1, 2 and 3 seeds in the West. Crazy run they are on right now.
what's worse for Flyers fans, Henrik Lundquist taking the Cup down Broadway or Carter and Richards taking it down Hollywood Blvd.?
i've moved on from hockey....but i'll be rooting for the teams in this order
kings
yotes
devils
rangers
i don't think any flyers fan will say anything bad if the flyers west win the title. some may not like carter, but you can't hold anything agaist him or richards. neither asked to be traded, both signed long term deals with philly because they wanted to be there.

Not saying he's the reason they lost, but that 2nd goal last night was the worst thing I have ever seen

i dunno...that empty net goal that marty gave up was pretty bad.

no love for that pronger deal

or ryan howard. or papelbon
anyone disappointed with the jeff carter trade is beyond lost
carter was a great deal....
