Fing Flyers........they looked like they weren't even trying to win.
They better play better tomorrow.
I was disappointed by Philly
But don't worry, last year they lost game 1 to Montreal but won the series.
They'll be VERY physical in game 2 and will throw more big bodies in front of Fleury
I was a little disappointed there were not many fights in the game.![]()
Coté? maybe
According to hockeyfights.com, he hasn't had a fight since March 28th.![]()
Ouch
Laraque hasn't had many fights either this year.
I hope he'll drop the gloves vs Boston.
If not, Laraque and his "fight ethics"![]()
It's the best part about hockey that I love. Call me crazy. It's like Nascar, I watch to see them crash.
(and survive of course)
That's because you are not the one taking the hits![]()
Yea, that's why![]()
Flyers fans are awesome.
Second, dont worry about the Flyers. They backed into the playoffs more or less and theyre playing in hostile territory in the first game of a 7 game series. They might even lose game 2 (i doubt it, but maybe), but theyre going to make the Pens pay for it in blood and broken bones.
I mean, Hartnell alone is going to put a couple Pens out of the series before its all said and done. Get Carter going, support Biron some more (defense was ty last night, very ty) and that game ends 2-1 Pens, not 4-1.
Which gives a better indiciation of the series, IMO. One must remember, the Pens played fan-fickin-tastic last night. They havent played like that since their march back into playoff contention in early March. They dominated... the Flyers played like complete garbage (save for Biron, who I thought was solid). Stupid penalty after stupid penalty, no offensive flow or transition game to speak of...yet, the Flyers were still in the game in the third period.
Thats was Pitt's best shot and admittedly, it was a very nice "shot". But if Flyers tighten up the defense and get a cycle going down low with their physical forwards, Gonchar wont last the series, nor Letang. Fleury will crack and the Flyers could turn this series around as soon as next game.
I dont have much faith in either coach for either team, but if I had to choose one, it'd be Stevens. Bylsma is a rook who likes to play aggressive because of his center depth. Without those guys going, you'd have to time it in nanoseconds before Bylsma puts them into a trap and Philly will walk all over them physically.
Washington the bed...didnt expect that. I thought NYR would win a game on their own ice, but they stole the first game! Gomez was everywhere. I think I may have underestimated NYR with Lundqvist in net....Ive never thought much of Washington. Sure they can score, but theyre goaltending and defense are deplorable. Thus the reason I think its a ing travesty that Green is going to win the Norris. Total bull .
New Jersey did just as I expected. Complete and utter domination, total -smacking in the first game. I expect Carolina to put up a better fight in their own building, but this series was over before it started, IMO. NJ is a Cup contender, Carolina is an east Pretender.
What a game between StLouis and Vancouver! Excellent hockey being played there, just wish the refs would put their damn whistles away and let them play. Both teams have size and grit...let them decide the outcome. 15 ing PPs between the two teams...thats ridiculous. Ended 2-1 with Luongo looking like the all-world goaltender he is. But remember, that was Vancouver, at home in the first game of the playoffs and they only mustered a 2-1 victory with their goaltender carrying the team to victory. That is no recipe for longterm success in the playoffs...not saying its impossible or that it hasnt happened before, but its a real gamble to bank on such things. They look vulnerable to me. StLouis was hitting everything in sight. That will pay dividends by game 3, just watch.
God, I love the playoffs.

If you read my playoff previews (previous page), you'll see that I picked NYR; Caps have talented scorers, but their D and goaltending suck major $%%^^# ass.
NYR are a better overall team and are battle tested
No, that's not me.
They better come out fists fighting on Friday night!![]()
I absolutely read your preview. So far, your take on Washington is spot on. Their defense is shoddy, at best. But then, I thought they would "out talent" NYR.
Its the first game but theyve already lost home ice advantage. Washington, I think, still wins the series. But I'll have a better gauge on that after game 2.
I think Washington will win game 2 because NYR will relax.
However, Boudreau has to take a decision: do I start Theodore in game 2 or not?
Because if he plays like he did in game 1, it's 0-2
(But again, remember Carolina in the first round in 2006' the Habs drilled Gerber and Canes lost ice advantage. down 0-2; then Cam Ward started and they won the next 4; although it had a lot to do with Koivu'seye injury in game 3)
Stupid penalty cost us the game at the end of the 3rd
Oh, and nice softie goal, Carey Price

Now you know how I felt the other night.
Good game last night between the Blackhawks & Flames.....OT.....Go Hawks!
@ the Red Wings. I'm rooting for Columbus in that series, this is the first time they've been in the playoffs? Red Wings won it last year, that's enough.

GO PENS GO
What a game tonight. The Flyers have played pretty stupid in the closing moments of both games. This was a well played game, with few penalties.
I wish the Pens would have played this aggressive against the Red Wings last season....I think they could have forced a game 7. Even playing timid for much of the series, they forced 6 games...and had a few good shots at the end to tie it and send it to OT....
I hope this series ends just like last years.....
PENGUINS RULE
