Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Flyers out to an early lead. Made the Debbies look silly.

Wouldn't it be great if you could mute the commentators and just listen to the game?

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?

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!

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...

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.

2-0?

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.

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.

Doubt it would've been 25 if he wasn't a repeat offender. Yes, I'd agree with you guys need to have their head on a swivel, at the very least don't admire your pass. SCORE!!! HE SHOT ****ING HIGH!!!

Called it. Larsson in his first playoff game. 1-1. Time to wake up Flyers. Finish out the third.

 

[sivdrinks]

Devils deserve this game, think that goal woke up Philly though. SCORE!!!

 

[emjay]

Flyers are definitely blowing it.

 

[sivdrinks]

Devils look solid but this is usually when they stop playing and try to sit on it. Gotta be a 60 minute effort (not Dogfish).

 

[tally350z]

Nice...3 to 1

 

[emjay]

3-1 now. Ick.

 

[sivdrinks]

**** YEAH! and might I say all 3 goals shot high thank you very much.

 

[jtkratzer]

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.

 

[jtkratzer]

I don't think so, just the first one. Last one was a semi-wrap around into an open side of the net.

 

[tally350z]

I believe the second one was above the left shoulder..

Yeah it definitely can't be blamed on Bryz, surprisingly.

 

[emjay]

That's why I hate no-icing on the PK... Can actually be an advantage in situations like this.

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.

I'm surprised that there were 4 different scorers for Jersey and Sykora, Elias, and Parise were kept off the score sheet. Impressed really.

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*.

In conjunction with the no line change icing rules, that could get ugly for penalty killers.

What? This is the only way a goalie can score! It's awesome!

 

[Barnzy02]

missed most of the Flyers games last night due to my own playoffs starting last night.

Not a good hockey night

 

[ColbyJack]

I would venture a guess that they drowned their sorrows and broke curfew. Young foreigners + hot Phoenix chicks + copious amounts of alcohol= suspension. Haha

Called it!!! I've witnessed my share of shenanigans on road trips... even at college national tournaments to know the signs. Haha.

 

[Homercidal]

Well, I just want to say at least Boston is out. I wont' have to listen to my friend's dad lording that over my head every time I see him. I don't know what it is about people from Bahston.
