    So, do we not get local telecasts for 2nd round any more? All Vs or NBC this series?

    only way flyers lose this series is if bryz goes totally nutso. flyers in 5 at most.

    the giroux goal was an incredible shot. what a blast.

    Briere is fucking amazing. no one in philly has ever performed in playoffs like this guy. every year like clockwork.

    primeau was out of his mind the year the lost to tampa in the ecf

    BrindAmour won the Cup with Carolina. Worst Trade Ever. Primeau had one playoff run and a 5th OT goal to show for his Flyers tenure.

    brad mccrimmon trade was the flyers worst ever. but Primeau is the most overrated player in franchise history. the same season he had the great playoff run he scored only like 7 goals in 79 regular season games or something crazy like that. he had more goals in the playoff run.

    In all three previous series between the Flyers and Devils, the team that has won Game 1 has gone on to win the series.

    Flyers have played the Devils 4 times.

    1995, 2000, 2004, 2010. The team who won Game 1 won all 4 series.

    Flyers also played the predecessor of the Devils, the Colorado Rockies, in the 1978 Preliminary Round and won the best-of-3 series 2-0.

    I hate when people say this. Lindros rejuvinated hockey in philly the way thome did baseball in philly. If given 100 chances to make that trade I'd do it every single time. if nothing else just to spite the rangers :D

    It wasn't just the Lindros trade that won the Nordiques/Avs the Cup - they already had Joe Sakic & Owen Nolan, and a whole bunch of high draft picks.

    Lindros had a lot of great years for the Flyers. The league's refusal to enforce obstruction penalties kept that team from winning a championship. (see the 1995 & 1996 losses to NJ & Fla)

    Kind of saw some of that yesterday, actually - hope it doesn't continue this series. :roll:

    agree 100%. Snider built the Wells Fargo Center on the back of Lindros.

    Traded by the Quebec Nordiques to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Peter Forsberg, Steve Duchesne, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci, Ron Hextall, Chris Simon, Philadelphia's 1993 1st-round draft choice (10th overall), Philadelphia's 1994 1st-round draft choice (10th overall) and $15,000,000.

    The flyers weren't winning a cup with just those players. Like Johnny said, colorado had sakic and nolan...not to mention some dude named patrick roy.

    Lindros got the flyers to a cup. Things didn't work out there, but the trade did. I agree with pjhawks that the corestates center was built by lindros. I remember going to a game his rookie year. every time he got the puck everyone stood up and watched in awe. the guy was unbelievable...brought meaningful hockey back to philly.

    I'd make that trade every time. Even knowing the outcome

    this is one of those things that people will disagree on forever.

    Lindors was great for a short period of time....but you just don't give up that much for a single player. it never seems to work out.

    Marty is talking about goaltender interference in OT. I bet his brother in law was saying the same thing a few years ago. :lol:

    He was so thrilling to watch. Such a force of nature. No one could've foreseen the concussion thing - concussions weren't really an acknowledged issue in 1992.

    I still have the Daily News from the day Larry Bertuzzi awarded Lindros to the Flyers "ERIC IS OURS!".

    Even when he came back for that NJ series in 2000, with all the rust, he was awesome in that Game 6 while everyone else stood around and watched him.

    Ridiculous. The refs adopted a 1995 strategy in letting the Devils clutch & grab everybody the whole game. Even with 6 PP's there were all kinds of uncalled for penalties on NJ.

    JVR wasn't in Brodeur's crease; he was just setting up a screen.
