Flyers out to an early lead. Made the Debbies look silly.
Brodeur outta position and outta control leads to a goal. Devils still refuse to shoot high on an average Bryzgalov. I'm a Devils fan but was that really interference at the end there?
jtkratzer said:Probably just as bad of a call as the inteference call in Game 1 on the semi breakaway that led to a Devils power play goal. It was perfectly played defense and it got called. It happens from time to time. Flyers didn't score, so no damage done.
And Bryz hasn't looked average in this game. He's looking like he's playing his best game of the post season.
Bryz covering low, Devils shooting low. Actually outplaying Philly right now. Devils shot selection is HORRIBLE!
it makes me insane to see nhl forwards shoot low when 90% of goalies play a butterfly style. It's unacceptable not to be able to pick the upper corners if your an nhl forward. The flyers/pens series was filled with top shelf goals. 2-0 flyers, game and series.
sivdrinks said:Out of your post I'm getting that you're defending Torres, not worthy of a 25 game suspension. I brought up Scott Stevens as an example of how and when to hit. That's what the **** I'm talking about.
rjwhite41 said:No I don't think he deserved 25 games. I think that a player must go way over the line in order to deserve that. Anyway, I'm not really trying to defend Torres or charging or boarding. My problem is the fans screaming for suspensions every time someone gets hit. This conversation got focused on past cases because I said if Hossa had his head up he would have been able to avoid the hit.
Devils looked solid for most of the period, just couldn't solve Bryz. Knowing Bryz's history, 1 goal is not going to be a good enough lead, but who knows...
**** YEAH! and might I say all 3 goals shot high thank you very much.
jtkratzer said:Flyers are wasting a great effort by Bryz. They're not helping him out at all. This is brutal. He gave them everything they needed to win this game and they're blowing it.
emjay said:That's why I hate no-icing on the PK... Can actually be an advantage in situations like this.
jtkratzer said:Either way, Flyers just didn't play. Flyers got the early lead and could have had the Debbies by the throat with a 2-0 lead. Just a pathetic effort. Not sure who to blame, but the coach and players didn't get the work ethic they needed, and even worse, they got great goaltending from Bryz and had everything they needed, even with only 2 shots on goal in the second, they still had the lead. Frustrating.
emjay said:I just hate when a player on a team that's up one or two points gets a penalty in the last few minutes, and even though the losing team pulls their goalie to get an extra attacker, the penalty killers can keep whacking it down the ice without having to worry about icing. Has nothing to do with the fact the Devils scored a goal off of it (though the chances of it sliding in makes it all the worse), just that in many situations it actually ends up giving the penalized team an *advantage*.

I don't know what it is about people from Bahston.
Everyone I have ever met is a jackhole, that may be it.

Same thing is true with Philly fans.
same thing is true with minnesota fans. See i can do that, too.
philly gets a bad rap, there are a lot of ******** in this city. I'll be the first to say it and i won't try to deny it.
It's just so over done .... The same **** that happens in philly, can and has happened in many other cities. Don't be that guy.

I don't know man. They threw batteries at Scott rolen when he joined the cards. Ive never seen that before and that was definitely not cool.
By the way, Florida panthers fans are.... I don't know, I've never heard of one.
I thought it was JD Drew ? Since he refused to play in Philly, but yeah, there was a lot drama surrounding Rolen, too.
I'll put it this way ... Eagles fans are insane and this is where the "philly reputation" comes from, IMO ... they're savages, Phillies fans have become absolutely awful ever since they won the series in '08, 76ers fans ... not sure there are any.
Flyers fans are typically pretty sensible, we'll break your balls ... but atleast, in my experience, just like people that appreciate hockey, no matter what team your a fan of ....
In a city of about 2 million, going to a sporting even that holds 20-50,000 people, half of which have been drinking for several hours ... is it any surprise people act like jerkoffs ?
Philly has a serious 'napoleon' complex - we're in the shadow of NYC, DC, and Boston ... perpetual losers in every sport ...
