    Nice article from Bucci... doesn't pick the Flyers but doesn't discount them either...

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs2008/columns/story?columnist=buccigross_john&id=3386690

    BTW no one from ESPN or TSN is picking the Flyers this round... not even the monkey.

    Curious have any of them picked the Flyers in any round ?

    I know the Monkey had us against the Caps
    My drinking team has a hockey problem

    The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

    Bucci had us against the Caps, and Melrose against the Habs but don't think anyone from TSN picked us...

    gotta love being the underdog... just wish I would have put some money on the Flyers before the season when my dad was in Vegas.

    Relax... its a big loss but this team won't let it stop them. They've rallied all season around each other and they'll do it again. Team defense against the Pens will win this series and everyone has to chip in. Because of the injury, I don't expect to see Cote in the lineup unless Laraque really starts to take liberties with people. You can't have Hatcher or Smith getting in fights and not being on the ice for 5 minutes at a time.

    I feel bad for Kimmo, having a great playoffs and then something freakish like happens. Thankfully they caught it early and before he got on the plane.

    Sucks losing Timmonen, but hopefully we'll overcome it.

    I bet a penguins fan $250 on the series. Come on Flyers, help finance my PJ tour.

    You don't have to worry about laraque. He's a pacifist these days. All of a sudden he thinks he's wayne gretzky behind the net. Ruutu and Roberts will be doing the agitating.

    from philly.com blog...
    You will note that Sam Donnellon is the only one selecting the Flyers. Sam and Ed Barkowitz are tied with the best record in our NHL selections with a 9-3 record. Sam is 6-0 in the East and has picked three of his nine winners in the correct number of games.

    Could it bode well for the boys??? ;)

    looks like Hatch and Coburn are the top D line with Jones and Smitty running 2nd... hopefully Jones and Smith can control Malkin because I'm pretty sure Hatch and Coburn will play mostly against Crosby. Although I wouldn't mind them against Malkin with the Jones pairing on the ice against Sid.

    And Jones will get the first shot on the point for the PP...

    I did hear earlier in the week that he was a huge Flyers fan. Hopefully the Flyers do something for the family or with the family during the series. that would be a nice gesture. maybe bring the kids out to drop the puck or something - i know it doesn't bring their father back but would be a nice touch of class to do.

    The Flyers have invited the family to Game 3 of the series and will have a moment of silence for Sgt Liczbinski before the game.

    They were saying on the radio this morning about moving Kappy back there

    I doubt Stevens would do that at this point

    I don't think that would happen early in games but I can see Stevens having Kappy out there later in games with a lead because he is defensively aware and has shown the ability to make the smart play in key situations.

    Christ I've had too much free time on my hands today :) can't wait to get home and watch this game...

    How cool is that !

    BTW...my ticket crusade may have yielded 2 tickets for game 3 !

    My In-Laws in Philly have a neighbor that gets season tickets from a guy and he has 4 tickets for May 13th Sec 124 Row 13

    I hoping for 2 of those tickets !!
