    Flyers own Price. :lol: Flyers can score...that's the only reason they won.

    To be fair, Bob did a nice job on the full 2 minute 5-3 portion of the game. and also to be fair, i think it was the 3rd goal for the habs, bob should never have been put in that position....Flyers had the puck behind the net, no mtrl player around, 3 flyers players, and the guy with the puck (i didn't catch who it was) just chucks it up the boards to nobody. mtrl gets it, and they are able to walk it right to the front of the net. seems like every time the Flyers make a boneheaded play like that, it ends up in the back of the net.

    maybe the one that bounced around his pad and sat right at the post was a little soft, but i guess, overall, bob didn't too horrible. i just wish he would stand up a little more in net

    I agree with your assessment. There's just something about the way Bob plays that I don't like.

    I love watching the 74 Finals just because Parent has such a cool style - stand up and stop the puck. Nobody does that today.

    They should replay some games from that 74 Semifinal series (obviously Flyers-Rangers) leading up to the Winter Classic - home team won every game but I've never seen any of them replayed.

    very few goalies stand up any more. seems like they are scared to kick pucks away.

    Lundquist might be the most stand up goalie left...and even tho he plays for that one fraud's team, i enjoy watching him play goal.

    I'm with you guys on bob. I think he stinks. THat senguin goal today was one of the worst I've ever seen. reminded me of the playoffs last year

    bruins just push the flyers all over the ice. flyers aren't tough enough. it's like they have a roster of all skinny/fast guys from the old nintendo hockey game (the one with the country teams...forget the name of it)

    eh, no rush. these games don't mean anything. let him get healthy and make sure he's ready.

    sestito is a monster. I hope he's in the lineup on friday night

    I think giroux is gonna be out a few more weeks.

    Seems like it's been a while since briere scored. Would be nice to see him tie this thing up

    EDIT: jvr too. these two really need to step up with all these injuries
