My guess is, he was trying to guess what Giroux was going to do and got frozen. Perron tried to do same to Mason

Yeah -- glad for it, too. We needed that extra point.

I know this team has a clear ceiling, some clear flaws. But damn it, I want them to make the playoffs.

I hear you -- you just look around, and it's so difficult to find who other options might be.

Hopefully, we find two guys. I have no damn clue how we will, but hopefully we do.

My buddy who's a Rags fan says they aren't going to have the money to bring back Girardi. That's where I would look.

The trouble I had with the Oilers signing him was poop like that...young team, last thing they need is a goalie chirping them when he gives up a goal

Absolutely. Anything can happen in the playoffs, as long as you're in, you can win

At least he wasn't throwing his jersey onto the ice - that'd really piss off his coach

Since the moment he was bought out I've been waiting for that exact scene to happen.

EDIT: Look at the single fan in a Canucks jersey cheering with his arms spread in the background

Plus all this talk in here about the team ceiling and being mediocre is pissing me off. The team 17-9-4 since starting 1-7. That's impressive and I like what I'm seeing out of the team. And the disclaimer is that I was one of the biggest pessimists in the beginning of the year. They have talent and it's starting to show.

Flyers are now 8th in the conference. They're 3 points back of Toronto with 2 games in hand. It'd be good to get in position for a wildcard spot in case a division rival manages to surge ahead of us.

I don't mean it to be harsh -- it's just being honest. The Flyers aren't the only team with a ceiling and various flaws; you can still be a fan and acknowledge that, for example, our defense isn't good enough to win the Stanley Cup.

Saying that doesn't mean a person hates the team or anything -- it just means that you acknowledge that this team is a work in progress and has some issues to address.

That's kinda what I worry about -- I really don't think New Jersey is bad. I think Peter DeBoer's an excellent coach, and I can see them getting hot.

I wasn't implying you weren't a fan or thought they stink. I see a lot of the 2010 team in this one, with better goaltending. They have a ton of fight since the beginning of the season. When they are down 2 or 3, I feel like they can come back. No team in the East is head and shoulders better then them and that includes Pittsburgh. The West on the other hand is a different story.

Typically they storm back in the third but I dont get that vibe.

4-2 Flyers. So humongous letdown.

They exceeded my expectations.

The forwards are a treat to watch right now and 28 and 93 are on top of their games but could you imagine if we had just one star dman and a couple of real good ones. Coburn, Mezsaros, Streit are dog dooie and Kimmo is just over the hill. I forgot to mention spin orama Schenn is the last minute, they are a bunch of clowns on D but I still love them, lol.

I really have to wonder what his team mates are going to think of this stick throwing incident, it's called losing the room and I am sure Eakins will be addressing that soon enough. Bryz played good but by throwing his stick after the goal he was clearly saying what a bunch of morons taking two dumb penalties. Very similar to the incident in Philly last year when he left the puck for Coburn and Coburn left it for Bryz and the wrong guy got it and scored, lol
Bryz to me clearly through his new Oiler mates under the bus with that reaction.
