I've really liked Gudas, Manning, Gagner, Ghost, and White.

The top 3 lines need to be blown up. Read was a late bloomer. Great 1st year. Signed extension. Disappeared. Got the $$.

Giroux has been terrible. Simmonds has been useless.

Our 4 goal scorers:
Raffle
Voracek
Ghost
A.Mac

2 forwards have scored in 4 games. Epic fail.

I take back everything bad I've ever said about Manning after that Wilson hit
- Nucker101


We all knew Manning liked to hit...caught Wilson just right. Couldn't think of anybody more deserving, except maybe Letang.

Absolutely. (frank)ing karma since Wilson should have been suspended a game for the headshot to Jake. (frank) him.

and if the flyers don't score 2 goals for the first time all series including a pp goal they don't win. he has nothing to do with that.

mason sucks for carrying the team on his back for 892 straight games. what a loser.

neuvirth went on an unreal streak to get the flyers into the threat of the playoffs that wasn't mason at all

His trolling is so obvious. He puts the first piece of bait out there, and after two whole minutes of no reply; he re-words it.

Both goalies were very good this season. Flyers were lucky to have Mason and Neuvirth on the squad.

Well aware of straw man, ad hominem, and a lot of the other logical fallacies. Thanks.

Cap were second overall with GAA in the entire league with a goalie who tied Brodeur's record for wins in a season and will win the Vezina. Man, those first line guys really suck.

Sometimes I just don't understand the expectations. This how the Flyers will win anymore games in the series. They will be outshot, and will have to get Holtby screened or get tips. At most, they will score 3 goals in a game because the Caps team defense is really damn good.

2 goals over 3 games is also a stat. It's not all on Mason by any stretch.

- 2Real


yeah, nobody's disputing that. i love neuvirth. and mason carried the mail after he went down.

the flyers were not down 3-0 because of him. not even close. 2 goals in 3 games. 0 for 13 on the pp. hung out to dry on the pk. no denying he gave up 2 bad goals. 1 much worse than the other. they didn't lose either game because of those goals. it's also possible he's just f'ng exhausted due to the neuvirth injury.

not sure if you know this, but teams have won the cup before using 2 goalies during the playoffs. obviously the flyers aren't going to do that, no matter who they have in net. the point still stands. chicago did it last year. darling bailed them out against nashville, then crawford did the rest.

but yeah, mason sucks and he's the reason they're on the brink.

I thought C. McDonald held his own tonight. Thoughts for those who watch the details more closely?

the caps are an outstanding team. top to bottom. it's irritating as hell.

still. would be nice to see our top guys remotely threaten some offense...at least make the other team work hard to prevent them and wear them down. they've been flat out invisible.
