i saw him once but didn't know he did that every game. could be worse. In Toronto where i live, fans are not allowed into the games as business people have all the seats and they get upset if you talk during the game.0 -

Yeah, I worked down there a couple years ago and he did it every day. The guy is dedicated. Haha, that stinks, makes for a pretty shitty sports environment.0 -

I personally feel bad for leafs fan. they might have the most loyal fans but you go an watch a game and it is worse thing you will every see. the place is packed but there are times where you can hear a pin drop.0 -
I'm having some negative deja vu here. Spring 2000: Flyers come back from 2-0 down and win 4 straight vs. Penguins in 2nd round. Conf Finals: Flyers lead 3-1 over Devils. Next thing we know Lindros is knocked out in Game 7 and Devils are in the Finals, and having a "Stanley Cup Parade" with 50 people. This can't happen again, can it??? Well at least all the other teams have good fan bases this year.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

I personally don't see Montreal coming back. but its still early, i guess. I just think the Flyers are too deep for Montreal. however, I do think that the Black hawks can play well against the flyers. both teams are similar. If carter comes back than i think the flyers have more depth than the black hawks on forward.0 -

i don't want to get to far ahead of ourselves here, but even with Carter back, i think the Hawks are deeper up front. If you look at the minutes played in the box score, Philly is rolling 5-6 guys big minutes and everyone else is low. Chicago is alot more even with the distribution, meaning the high end players are fresher and they trust the low end guys.
On the Blue line, both teams are similar, rolling basically two lines.
The other intersting things are goals for minus goals agaist. Philly is + 1.16 (3.16 and 2), while Chicago is +0.71 (3.27 and 2.56). The nice thing with Philly is, they aren't giving up big rebounds. It's been one and done for the most part.
assuming both can hang on and make it thru to the finals, based on the stats, it should be a pretty tight series.81 is now off the air0 -

you are correct on your points except i do think the Flyers have more scoring power. I think the Black hawks are a great team but if you look at points. the black hawks are rely a lot on 3 players who have more than 10 points. the flyers have 5 player with more than 10 points and if you consider that Gagne missed some games he also would have more than 10 points. yes the flyers are playing players alot, they seem to be peaking at the right times.0 -
Yeah, I thought the Flyers matched up well against the Dallas Stars in 2000 too.
