I forgot the last time I so the garden so quiet. I was just sipping on my beers, got tired of yelling. Many chances were missed, especially with the power-plays. Henrik scores on himself. Oi. Vey. We got flyers, penn and cap left, at least we can win two games there

PS Bruins fans are obnoxious as f@@ck. And very very very very drunk

I've seen coaches jaw at each other, and yell at opposing players, I have never seen a coach come over the bench and go after another coach like that... it was freaking nuts

Meh, I dunno...the game was very chippy. While Itty-Bitty Schenn's hit on Crosby was pretty cheap, let's not forget Crosby did give the guy a shot earlier.


As well, Lavi was pretty ticked because Danny decided to send out the entire 4th line in the final bit of the game...If that's not goonery, not sure what is.

Bylsma should not get a pass on this either.

Hate this "argument". Game was out of reach. What are we supposed to do, put out the crosby/malkin line so they can get cheap shotted? Watch any game ever that is over with 1 minute left and you most likely won't see superstars on the ice for the losing team.

I've lost my entire respect for the flyers, the coach especially, after watching those HBO winter classics specials. It's a team of rascals with a hyped-up jackass as the leader.

Never said that. But, Bylsma could've sent out the 3rd line...the 4th line was out for one purpose only at that stage of a chippy game.


You think Briere and his linemates was thinking of plastering anyone when he was on the ice? I doubt it.

Please, we had been double and triple shifting our other lines, the 4th line needed a shift, plus the hit they were protesting was as clean as they come

What's funny, is people would try to say that Crosby and Malkin are afraid, but they were playing 2+ min shifts, and the were out for the last minute of the game after all that shit went down.

They are a bunch of douchebags, I've never seen so much diving in my life. They're the most penalized team, but also draw the most penalties, because they dive every seconds

He's still their taunting Hartnell, isn't he? Looks like he was jumping up and down pretty good there. If he was that ill, he wouldn't be there having fun.

It's not like Hartnell is kicking his ass.

Did you even watch the video? He just stands there, and nods and points to his ear saying "you doing my move?" He didn't taunt Hartnell until after Hartnell started doing that shit to him. He usually only does that to the cameras to fire up the crowd, but what do I know, I just go to every game...

No need to watch the video, I was watching the game. People throwing drinks and shit at the Flyers and the dying old man going back and forth with Hartnell as well. The dying old man was getting up and down pretty good.

I saw a couple of cups thrown down after their coach crossed the divider and started going after our coach, that's nothing compared to all the shit that the Flyers fans throw at our players EVERY time we go into Philly. And yes the guy has a terminal illness, Leukemia I believe, that doesn't mean that he can't stand up and sit down

He's admitting he gave quite a few cheap shots, if you give you have to be able to take.

Well, it sure beats arguing about goalies.





Should be an entertaining tilt between the Kings/Hawks if the places hold out West, Waldorf. I hope it goes to 7 bitterly fought games.

I'm fine with most teams except Nashville. Those guys scare me...otherwise, match-up wise, I'm okay with dealing with your Kings in the 1st round. If the Kings are as great as you think they are, they will have to be an eventual opponent anyhow if Chicago advances...so, don't matter.

Not cocky, just saying that the Hawks don't match up well with the Kings this year. We have your number.

Nashville is quite a better team this year.
Bernier has the Preds number....he's had their number for a few years now...however Quick will be in goal....so

On Paper:
Line 1: Hartnell > Kunitz, Malkin > Giroux, Neal > Jagr
Line 2: Cooke > Read, Staal > Schenn, Simmonds > Kennedy
Line 3: Sullivan > Talbot, Crosby > Couturier, Voracek = Dupuis
Line 4: They are pretty much equal. Adams has 2 cups, however.

We have deeper defense and better goaltending.

Coaching: Pens. Intangibles (arena/fans...) I'll give the edge to philly. It seems harder for the Pens to go to Philly and win, than the Flyers to come to Pitt and win.

Pens in 6.
