still amazes me how the Flyers panic in their own zone. Hartnell with clear control of the puck, no one around him, 3 guys to pass to ... and he just whips it around the glass, hoping for a clear. Of course it goes out of play and we have a faceoff in our zone.

You obviously don't understand the intricacies of the Flyers defensive zone system.

I liked him better when he called baseball games.

That's Frank Drebben, or is it Enrico Pallazzo?

They say it's onside...BECAUSE THEY WERE ONSIDE!!

They're gonna call that icing....BECAUSE IT WAS (frank)ING ICING!!!

I don't seem to mind them too much. Keith Jones brings a more unbiased opinion to the team.

All broadcasters in the states are heavily biased. Broadcasters in Canada are much better.

- opeth_pa

Carkner hit Rosehill about 3 or 4 times and dropped him, but it looked like he lost his balance a bit too.

Coburn fighting is just humorous to me. He thinks he's this tough guy because he's taller than a lot of players, but in reality he's Kjell Samuelsson

Come on dude he fights like 3 times a year. And if he thought he was a tough guy, he wouldn't be fighting Kyle Okposo

With regard to the icings, there used to be a rule that, if the linesmen deemed it was an intended pass, they could wave it off.

When did they get rid of that? There's been countless times where a pass goes between a guy's legs, goes between his skate and stick, etc. where it was a clear pass attempt, but gets called icing.
