Stanley cup time !!!!!

Your original predictions are taking a beating right now. Tampa? Coyotes? Kings? Not all of the series are over but I think you may have been a bit off picking the underdogs. The only upset I really picked was for the Sabres to beat the Flyers.

Def a tough loss last night and as for my predictions I must have been half asleep when I started this thread. Back to the fly guys, one word CONSISTENCY, it's killing us. That should have been a win if you minus the two goals that boosh let in from wacky angles. Now we have juggled 3 goalies so far in 5 games which is not good at all. The goalies and our powerplay. I'm not worried at all about this team it's just i didn't think it would go to game 7.

Yeah, the Sabers are giving the Flyers a beating. I'm a little upset that they lost in OT, and not having Carter or Pronger doesn't help. But they've been without key players before and did fine. They just need to step it up a little bit more. I'll say this series will go all 7 games. If the Flyers get knocked out by Buffalo, I'll be a little upset.

I know Seru/Siroux is hurting right now, and I like him, so I will stop there.

Hmmmm that's a little harsh..... As for "TOUGHER" the game has changed so drastically that if the BULLIES were playing today half of them would be suspended and the other half would be playing shorthanded because of all the frequent penalty in today's game. Don't worry my friend Flyers will win this. As for my man SERU he knows too not to worry, although we didnt expect to go 7 games in round 1 we will be fine. Think positive we won't get to rest for round 2 so our legs won't be weak.

No - I clearly remember the Hammer. All of these dudes with mullets and pretty faces aren't The Hammer. Most guys in today's NHL would pee down their legs if they ever had to drop gloves with Schultz.

As for the Flyers - yeah, Boucher looked like crap and Leighton looked fine until he gave up that huge rebound. Then again, Ennis was untouched when he slammed it home.

As I have hinted to Seru/Siroux, the Flyers have a lot of bad karma working against them. The gods of Hockey were not pleased with the whiny mama's boy that was Lindros, and the gods of Hockey have long memories.

My favorite hit of all time:

My second favorite hit of all time:

I clearly remember both of those hits. Lindros was caught both times doing what he shouldn't have done, had his head down. But to high five after a hit like that is messed up. After a while even I started calling Lindros captain concussion.

Well if you remember, Ol' Mama's Boy Lindros had quite the habit of throwing down with no names and people that were notorious for not being able to fight.

Yes, he threw down with Stevens a few times, but Stevens was not a fighter.

At 6'4" and 230 lbs, with a penchant for throwing dirty hits, and a whiny off-ice attitude of entitlement, Lindros was fairly well disliked by other hockey players and fans alike.

Both the Kasparaitis and Stevens hits were clean, as opposed to a lot of the hits the Mama's Boy threw. In his career in the NHL, Eric the Puss decided to go toe to toe with only one real punch out artist - McSorley. Even an aging McSorley was able to slap him about.

So when you see the smirks on the faces of other NHL players after Lindros would get clobbered, it's because he was a jack-ass off the ice and a bully on it.

Personally, I could never understand why he couldn't get it through his thick skull to keep his head up. I played hockey all the way through high school and then adult league for several years. One of the first things they tell you in Ice Mites is to keep your damn head up.

Lindros the Dirty Douche:

I agree, both hits were clean as they could be, and Lindros had that "better than you" attitude. I was actually happy when they got rid of him.

And yeah, the first fundamental I learned was keep your head up. By the time Stevens hit him, he had 6 concussions. The so called "special mouth guard" didn't help. If the Flyers never made the trade for him and kept Forseberg, just think what they could have done.

I always considered Lindros a waste of talent. If he had ditched the attitude and put in the effort of, for example, a LeClair, he could have been a monster.

LeClair, Dejarden, Zubrus, any of those. I think making him captain so young so fast went straight to his head.

Its going to the the "RED WINGS" !!!

Red Wings are a great team but they gotta vet more than Phoenix to convince me although my predictions this year have been slightly off so far. Today's a must win for the Flyers to force a game 7. Everyone has to show up and bring it all on the ice. I talked to Ed Snyder and he told me if I wanted to play goalie I could but I had to decline because I already have arrangements for Easter dinner.
Go Flyers and Happy Easter !!!!

Don't know about the future juggling 3 goalies but what I do know is I'm very happy with the win and the forcing of game 7 tomorrow night.
Let's Go Flyers !!!

Bring on the Bruins !!!!!!!

LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!!!!!

Flyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could have seen that! But alas, we don't get VS. at work. :( Brutal though. Good to see he got off the ice with a little help. Too bad the Flyers are down 2 games already in the series. They better come back from this.

Well as probably the only "Black and Gold" supporter I figured I show some luv... The playoffs have been very exciting this year and a lot of great goal tending all around... I am looking forward to rest of the 2nd round this series is going to get good... I know there is a good amount of philly fans on here so I figure I'm game for some harassment... Lol

Looks like you won't hear anything as long as the Bruins continue to beat the crap out of them.

The Flyer's goaltending is shockingly bad............

Yeah, You definitely need solid goal tending to get far in the playoffs.. If it wasn't for Thomas the B's would of made it by the 1st round.. Considering there power play has been horrid...

Ok I can't sit here and not write on my own thread because my team is playing like ( for a lack of better word) dookie. CONSISTENCY that's the flyers biggest problem ever since the all star break. That and lack of confidence in Bobrovsky. This kid is the reason why we were number 1 all year and he had 1 bad game just 1 and u benched and scratched him. Talk about it back firing on you. No worries though we have the Bruins right where we want them ..... Lol. Bruins are playing some good hockey, I won't talk any smack because a) we are down 3-0 and B) I like Timmy Thomas, I love to see American born players doing good because there aren't many of them. I have to say though this has been a pretty good playoffs this year, alot of game 7's and a decent amount of overtime games.

A really crappy team (with a good goalie) took Philly all the way to 7 games, you seriously couldn't have expected to make it past round two. It's certainly been a good post season all around, despite my team (buf) and my 2nd favorite team I inevitably fall to when we fall on our face (or not make the post) Chicago, are out.

:rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage:VANCOUVE R IS GOING TO DOMINATE THE CUP END OF THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!:rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage::rage: :rage::rage::rage:

A bit disappointed that the Flyers did so bad in round 2. Boston out-played them all four games. Thomas is a damn good goalie. I'll be rooting for the Bruins for the rest of this season. I want an East Coast team to win the cup. And it would be great for Boston to win their first.

Well it won't be the Bruins 1st cup but it has been a long time... Can't wait game 1 vs Tampa later today. It is going to be a great series and hope the B's can get it done... but I am with you as I would like to see an east coast team win the cup even if it's not the Bruins...
