Galchenyuck too

Ok, Flyers winning, back in the Pulock, Nurse part of the draft.

Stupid habs. Their the only team weve been beating. For that I hope they get canned 1st round

6-3 in a some what meaningless game for us, would love to see one of our "fighters" grap the douche in the 3rd and pummel him. go old school and police the ice themselves

(frank) it, destroy them on the scoreboard and physically.

I like Montreal (not necessarily the fans ), but clearly they are stumbling into the playoffs. Back-to-back games giving up at least 5 goals doesn't help instill confidence in your D or goalie.

How's Carey price with no defense???(frank) off bryz haters

utley w/ a ph HR to tie gm at 2....

That'd be my message to the Habs bench. Keep running us and Subban will be watching the playoffs in a cast

Even winning a couple, we should still be picking up a real solid player. But I would have definitely preferred this kind of effort 4 or 5 games ago...

Seems to me that he is playing this game with the same level of team defense the Flyers have played with all Season. You see the results. Keep ignoring all the variables.

Wanna trade goalies?

i'm right there with you. they have nothing to lose at this point...so if the habs want to run around injuring players, the flyers should be willing to oblige. shame rinaldo is out of the lineup.

And the phillies suck again.

To be honest the hit on Feds was borderline illegal.
Dangerous 100%
Stupid 100%
From both angles I have seen it looked like it was from the side.

That being said...We needed G and Voracek to play like this all year.

Really doesn't matter that it was from the side. It was still boarding.

A game like this is more or less Rosehill's entire reason for existing on this planet. He's probably going to get thrown out if he hits anyone illegally, so he better make the first one count.

over the course of the entire season, not good enuf...this pretty much sums it up, so go argue w/ Bill...

"I was on the fence with this one. Despite a poor early won-loss record, Ilya Bryzgalov was the Flyers most consistently good player for the first three or four weeks of the season. Ever since then, he has been a very ordinary goaltender who has not been part of the solution. Ultimately, his .899 save percentage on the season is unacceptable, regardless of defensive breakdowns in front of him.

There haven't been a lot of games this season where Bryzgalov has truly been awful. There has not been an inordinate number of outright soft goals allowed, but the number of potentially stoppable shots that have gotten through (with Bryzgalov looking bad on the play) have increased. But over the last six weeks or so, there haven't been very many where he's been all that good, either.

I cover the Dallas Stars as well as the Flyers, and I can most assuredly tell you that the Dallas team defense is every bit as prone to horrific breakdowns as the Flyers, arguably even more so. Yet somehow Kari Lehtonen has still managed to be one of the top goaltenders in the NHL over the last few years, including a 2.23 GAA and .929 save percentage this year.

By comparison, Dallas backup goalies Richard Bachman (3.92 GAA, .848 save percentage in six appearances) and Cristopher Nilstorp (3.03 GAA, .897 SV% in five appearances) have been unable to make clutch saves and Bachman especially has compounded the problem with untimely soft goals. When one of those guys has been in net, it has become painfully clear just how vulnerable the Stars are defensively.

On many nights, Lehtonen singlehandedly lifts the Stars to a higher level of competitiveness. It CAN be done if a goalie is locked in. If Lehtonen can do it, Bryzgalov can as well. That is what the Flyers expect -- and need -- of Bryzgalov, and he doesn't even have to do it as frequently as Lehtonen does in Dallas.

Early in the season, Bryzgalov was doing just that. He kept games manageable, avoiding soft goals, erasing breakdowns at important junctures of the game and making his fair share of the tough saves. For the last month-plus, he hasn't.

It has gotten to the point where every time there is a breakaway or 2-on-1, the Flyers' best hope is for the attacking team to make a mistake because otherwise the next faceoff is going to be at center ice. Beyond those team-related issues, the bad rebounds have returned. The poor work on the stick side is back.

It's been disappointing to see after his strong start to the season. Is it unfair to hold Bryzgalov to a performance standard similar to Lehtonen's? I don't think it is. We're talking about a former Vezina finalist in Bryzgalov who is playing under a massive long-term contract to perform at the level he did early this season. But that level MUST be recovered and sustained for him to meet expectations. "

I would like to hear crunches.
