Was it bad refereeing? I think it was also the case that the Flyers got into their normal lazy game losing pattern in the final 2 minutes of the game. But this game showed me alot of positive play from the Flyers. To get up two goals early, to score on the power play, being physical. They just need to be more careful with the puck.

The check by Richards with his shoulder was a 100% bad call. They called kneeing when every single person there knew it was a clean hit. That powerplay was what resulted in the game being tied with something like 30 seconds left. Richards doesn't make dumb plays like that. It was a really bad call plain and simple. I do agree that they did the typical falling apart in the last 2 minutes and obviously in OT but it wouldn't have happened had it not been for that lame call. The high-stick goal was rather questionable to since his stick hit the cross bar on the way DOWN from hitting it in which seems to indicate his stick was over 4ft. when whacking it in.

Oh well, Saturday is another day but unfortunately, in this series only 30% of teams that lose game 1 go on to win the series. They did look really awesome for the most part though.

Psh...stats. If you abided by them, the Flyers wouldn't have won game 7. Thats for sure. Saturday they will come back with more vengeance just like they did with the caps and completely PWN them.

The high sticking goal, I don't really agree with it if your stick starts above the crossbar in order to whack the puck in. If that was the case, alot of goals wouldn't have to be reviewed and play could move on. But I think the Flyers will come back from this.

Hopefully the Flyers dont come back from this, however they probably will, Montreal's goalie is too inexperienced and is suspect.

Tonight we find out if the Vezina finalist can stop Hossa and Sid

Huet + Caps D > Price + Habs D. The Habs are very laid back with their style of play. There wasn't too much physical play and it just seemed like the Flyers were awesome on their powerplays. But the Habs have some explosive offense which allows for them to score. If the Flyers can match up Timonnen/Coburn with the main offense, then we will be fine.

All I have to say is....MAR-TY! MAR-TY! MAR-TY!

Hell, if the Flyers have to lose the first game of every series to get a fire under their butts, then I am all for it.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #58 on:** April 27, 2008, 01:35:09 PM »

Heh, Thats good I guess Clint

Anybody else wanna see Laraque and Orr fight?

Bad Officiating yet again...Whistle was blown way too early on a puck Fluerry(sp?) never had control of

Steve · « **Reply #60 on:** April 30, 2008, 12:12:16 AM »

Well when Refs loose sight of the park the blow the whistle. They cannot be at every angle at every moment of the game.

overlord · « **Reply #61 on:** April 30, 2008, 11:23:23 AM »

Its not that Fluery is good because the Rangers keep scoring 3 goals on him. But the problem is that Rangers are taking bad penalties, they aren't matching up men properly, and they aren't playing smart hockey. So the Pens are walking all over them.

WadeJ · « **Reply #62 on:** April 30, 2008, 09:57:46 PM »

Flyers win!!!

overlord · « **Reply #63 on:** May 01, 2008, 12:01:25 AM »

What a great game...WOW!

Bubba Z · « **Reply #64 on:** May 01, 2008, 08:10:27 PM »

I enjoy how they how make every game so interesting.

With a two goal lead, you would think you could relax for at least a second.

As they said on WIP, Philly teams sure know how to take games down to the last wire. They do nail biting like no one else.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #66 on:** May 02, 2008, 08:35:30 PM »

Well at least we will be sent home without being swept....

overlord · « **Reply #67 on:** May 03, 2008, 10:33:32 PM »

FLYERS WIN!...But I still don't have tickets yet to any of their home games. Wade, if any of your vendors come up, my dad and I are willing to get some if you can get extras.

LETS GO PITTSBURGH!

WadeJ · « **Reply #70 on:** May 11, 2008, 10:09:04 PM »

This is stressful to watch. We need our defense to be uninjured!

Dubya91 · « **Reply #71 on:** May 12, 2008, 12:00:08 AM »

The heck with all of you, Lets Go Stars!

Bettman(NHL Commissioner) has Crosby's name on the cup already, he made sure of it, hes carving Malkin's name on it as we speak....

overlord · « **Reply #72 on:** July 02, 2009, 01:22:50 AM »

Here is a Free Agency Tracker to keep up with all the signings around the league. I can't believe the Rangers picked up Brashear. I guess Avery wasn't enough goon so they needed to add another. And Marian Gaborik cannot fill the shoes of Gomez, especially after being hurt last season.

Devils look like crap really with no big signings and the loss of Gionta. Canadiens picked up alot of big names again this off season and yet they will still stink due to no team play. Marian Hossa continues to changes teams but not for long as he signed a 12 year deal with the hawks....whatt?! And lastly, the reign of Mike Knuble has come to an end in Philly as he signed with the Caps since Kozlov and Federov are returning home to Russia since they are wimps and can't win with the Caps.

So, I spend 30 minutes trying to navigate the Rangers offical site to get the scoop on all the trades. I get annoyed and decide to see who is going to GA for the 4th and what do I find? The hockey info I was looking for! Thank you overlord!
LOL

overlord · « **Reply #74 on:** July 03, 2009, 04:03:40 PM »

Well Devils continue to fall apart as now Madden is gone to the Blackhawks. If the Devils sign back Travis Zajac, he is gonna have alot of work in front of him.
