the Bruins GM has scouted the last 2 flyer games, wonder what kind of a trade that would be?

I know it was absolute madness in the last 90 seconds but I don't recall Doc or Pierre saying anything about Voracek getting a hatty w/ the GWG.

Were they too busy drooling over the deft stick tap to oneself at full speed w/ no one around him in the neutral zone by #87?

That was a carbon copy of the playoffs last year. So entertaining to watch. I thought the team did a great job at stopping Pittsburgh's first line. Seemed like Crosby was buzzing all game but couldn't find Dupuis or Kunitz. They need to cut down on the careless penalties though.

I enjoyed Letang female doging like crazy after he was sent off for his (multiple) cross checks to Rinaldo. What a little (frank)er.
- KGBflyers10


I thought Rinaldo did a nice of job of basically trolling the Penguins on the ice all night. He nailed Engelland a couple of times and if Engelland wasn't such a pylon, maybe he could catch Rinaldo and hit him back.

As for Letang....he's a MUCH better player, it seems, when he's not trying to prove how tough he is.

Watching Couturier shadow Malkin is a treat. Cooter is under Malkin's skin, in his head, up his butt, all over him!

Why did I have a flashback to the old pit-phl rivally of Bundy manhandling Jagr. Maybe it's not an exact fit, because Bundy was a defenseman and not the greatest... But, when he play Jagr - Bundy looked like a superstar.

I think that after the Montreal game, that the Flyers are carrying a chip around on their shoulders. I think they're still mad, and despite the build-up and win over Pittsburgh, they may be a bit ticked at blowing the 4-2 lead

Are you insinuating that Claude Giroux might be a good captain after all?!

Holy poop! I had a friggin heart attack watching the game. I came in late having a conflict and came in right after they cut Harry Z up...

When Grossman scored and all 5 penguins were in the net behind their goalie I was laughing/crying. I've never seen anything like it.

I was sooo glad we won. Definately the most exciting game of the season. Hard fought, I was happier that we denied them any points than we gained any. I felt the embellishments were horrendous (but I'm biased and I know it). I'd be curious to hear some opinions of people who weren't as emotionally involved. I wish Briere had been more of a presence but I won't be complaining about Jake for a bit. Let's hope they can keep up the good bounces and the scoring.

my boys!

Knuble is still a workhorse along the boards too. Aside from the double minor stickwork I didn't see much to fault Knuble for in the game vs. the Pens.

We still would have won. Pitt uncontrolled can not beat us. It is funny to watch.

Whenever the Flyers played Pittsburgh or a game in Ottawa (his hometown), Bundy was a beat.

I'm not sure who had a tougher night last night......Tomas Vokoun or Tanner Glass.

The Danny Briere quotes after the game about Glass, who got tuned up by Simmonds, were priceless:

"I might have played once against him in Winnipeg. Maybe we have our history in PlayStation. That's probably where he remembers me from. That's about the only place I played against him."

Maybe refs turned a corner with bs calls on rinaldo too? Nice to see him be able to play his game without getting called for breathing on the ice. IF he keeps this up I might have to buy his jersey just to piss other teams fans off that look at it agreed?
