or not because Tim Thomas won them a cup last year.

or not because Tim Thomas still has a 2.12 GAA and .933 sv% on the year.

Do either of those apply to Bryz? Boston fans aren't any more even-tempered or sensible than the Flyers fans. If Thomas was putting in a season like Bryz has so far, they'd be talking about it as well.

Personally, I am not basing any decision off of yesterday but if he doesn't become consistantly better then it is time for Bob to see some time against the top teams to see how he fares.

Meh. I'm all for playing the goalie that gives the Flyers a better chance of winning. Right now, neither of them has convinced me that they're going far this spring. Bob, for all the accolades he's won from the fanbase, came up short against the Rangers and that's troubling.

However, I will root for both of our goalies because of the crest they wear on the front. I can hope they get better and talk rationally about it as opposed to firing off vitriol and boo my own team's goalie (or sarcastically cheer his saves).

Tappan on the NHL on the Fly starts by saying the Flyers and Boston both coming in off of losses saturday.......

WIP just said the FLyers lost to boston 5-4.

Seriously, can they check this stuff before saying it on the air. Tappan esp drives me nuts. her saying Bernie Parent's name wrong several times had me fuming

- nastyflyergirl


Frank the tank said the Flyers only trailed 2-1 after the first period yesterday.

Any hopes for Hartnell now? Yes I understand that Toews plays in the west but the Hawks also have 2 other forwards playing in the game.
- Schenn2shine


Hartnell deserved to be an initial selection, if they ask him now based on all the injuries he should decline.

At least Tappen is easy on the eyes. What are the clowns at WIP's excuse?

Why? The worry he might get hurt? Hartnell has been a healthy players since he's been here. The only time he's ever sat out is due to the flu.

I don't think so. Horton may have a concussion.

Amazingly McDonagh is playing tomorrow night after that collision with the boards.

I was amazed that Ovechkin did not even get a penalty for leaving his feet and basically forearming that guys head in to the glass.

He shouldn't have to settle for being second banana due to injuries. He deserved to be there on his own merit, not as a replacement for the 10th guy who was injured.

He will be suspended. Left his feet and delivered a headshot. Should be 5, I think he will get 3.

Did you do your due diligence on this comparison? To make sure it wasn't a toaster strudel?
