Nice road win by the Flyers, I never thought they could go into Boston take down the Bruins like they did.

Peace

5-0-1 in their last 6 in boston

but considering the way they have been playing the last 15 or so games, it's a bit of a suprise. they still didn't look good.

Boosh looked pretty great.

i agree. he's played well all season when given the chance. but the offense is so putrid. i'm still waiting for somebody to grow some balls and camp out in front of the net for rebounds and tips. put me in coach...i've got no problem playing power forward.

I think the Flyers are gonna ride Boucher while Emery is out and maybe give Leighton a spot start here and there. If the offense picks up, this team should win games. But without it, it wouldn't matter if the Flyers had Brodeur between the pipes..

numbers don't look terrible, but what happens to him when emery gets healthy? i don't see a deal inolving him and the Flyers happening any time soon. now if booby clark was still involved, we would trade Pronger and Richards to get him.

I agree with what both you and chromiam are saying.
The reason Halak wants a trade is for more playtime, and when Emery is back Jaro'd be back to riding the pine and requesting a trade.
I would like to get something for him, I think he's a good goaltender (most of the time), but I'm not expecting anything more than a pick.

I should add I heard a Halak to Philadelphia rumour LONG ago. So long I don't remember how long. It may have been before you signed Emery, though, which would make this statement a moot point

yeah, yet anouther terrible night. so glad i paid for the NHL package so i could get all the games.

oh wait, i could have seen's tonight beat down on VS. weeeee

If you had to watch it on Vs you would have been subject to hearing Emerick fellate the Penguins for 60 minutes.

yup. the boston annoucers last night were worse tho. they were there first big homers i've run across. for some reason, i only get the Flyers annoucers about 10% of the time.

The Boston announcers are pretty bad.
Our (Canada's) national station (CBC) loooooves the Leafs. Brutal.
I watch the Habs games in french so I don't understand half of what they're saying, but I reckon they like the team, lol

i thought it would be a season long homer fest, but hockey annoucers for the most part have been pretty fair.

CBC rules. i lived in Toledo for along time and we got CBC. I enjoyed watching the Flyers games on there vs. any other channel. CBC does a good job of letting hte sounds of the game make it to the tv, vs. espn at the time which turned down the game sound and cranked up the talking head sound. Don Cherry is crazy too.

this really all depends on how good Halek plays and how Emery plays. given that are team is young, we could offer a 2 rd round pick.

i just hope the flyers beat Pitt today at home. we have some tough games on the road coming up.

How can this team be so bad this year ?

I never thought they would have such trouble scoring goals

Some how they're only 4pts out of the playoffs...It's pretty obvious the issues with this team are deep rooted and not a coaching problem

A friend of mine knows one of the beat reporters and, allegedly, Briere, Hartnell, and Cote are going through divorces. I guess that could affect the locker room, but it does nothing to explain why Mike Richards is fucking awful lately. He's gotta be hurt, it's the only thing that makes sense. And if he is, it might be time to sit and heal. :?

see my post on the previous page - rumor has it that Carter had an affair with Hartnell's wife which has divided the locker room.

either way a major trade must occur - no way this team should be this bad.

oh yeah, a stick to stick pass isn't a penalty.
