That was my comment.

But with the caps coming home and a chance to end the series I have a feeling they will have some energy.

Yeah...i get what youre saying...really I was more annoyed by this guy at my office who pretends to be a fan and just says simple buzzwords like that. Right before you wrote that he literally walked by my office and goes "first 10 minutes will be huge tonight!"

They are big every night, but with how the series has gone, the Flyers just need to keep doing their thing. They havent had to withstand anything but third periods and penalty kills really

I hate that phrase and way of thinking. All of the minutes are important.

Oh, and people need to calm the frank down about this Murray kid. Sure, he's playing well but saying it's time to trade Fleury and hand it over to Murray? Um, yeah, I'd hold off on that move, sport.

I predict a big break out from your top three.

Giroux, Simmonds and Voracek.

Between the three of them..they MAY even get a point!!

A lot of that is do to the expansion draft. Would they make Fluery available to keep Murray

I hope Stolarz becomes the better goaltender. Murray getting shutouts in playoff games in MSG, while the Flyers were scared to death to start Stolarz in the second game of back to backs.

Well they have a year to decide that and I'll go out on a limb and predict no.

It is cliché.

But if they were to get down 2-0 in the first five that can wipe out a lot of good energy for the flyers.

Four points in four games. The math isn't all that tough

I wouldn't be so sure.

If they think Murray is the future they can make Fluery available and clear space without having move someone like Malkin like people say.

The Pens have no choice right now but to start Murray. He's the best of what's available to them.

The Flyers had a choice while trying to get into the playoffs and Stolarz wasn't the best of what was available to them.

But, yeah, same thing I guess.

Yeah I hear you. Only reason why I'm comparing the situation at all is because they were drafted in the same draft, I believe Murray went 38 picks after Stolarz did.

You just hope the offense comes to life at some point. Don't know how you can win 3 straight 2-1 type of games. If only they didn't squander those early PP opportunities.

My point is I doubt they're making that decision on Murray's small sample size of NHL work to date.

Andrew Hammond who?

That bum that got clowned at MSG last night in a must win game? I would think Rags fans are down catering to the crown-less King.

And without two injuries he'd be watching games on television with Stolarz.
