Because it forced the league to water down the game so every single infraction is called in the series.

Not Leighton again.

I am still in shock, floating through today in a daze.

pretend you've been asleep since last wednesday at 7:00 and you woke up this morning and read that the flyers are up 3-1 in the best of 7 series. How would you feel? you'd be pumped. they had one bad game and they will make adjustments and put in a better effort tomorrow night.

If I see Leighton starting in net with no injuries preventing Bob or Bryz from playing I want the whole coaching staff replaced after the series is over.

If Bryzgalov can't play due to injury, after what I saw from Bobrovsky last night, I'm not sure Leighton isn't the lesser of two evils as crazy as it sounds.

Leighton hasn't played a minute of Nhl time in almost a year and now you want to bring him into a series against possibly the most offensively talented team in the world? big mistake. Need I remind you of his game 6 performance against Buffalo? A much more inferior offensive unit was able to blow three goals past him in the first 10 minutes. Granted Bryz and Bob have given up a slew of goals but you put Leighton in there and the damn will go from leaking to busting open.

Probably won't matter, if Bryzgalov can't play (and play reasonably well) they won't advance imo.

Leighton just looked bad because of the defense. If the defense was better, Leighton would have looked great

Bill,

Sorry if I missed it but who do you feel plays in Grossmann's absence? Gus or Manning?

Nice try but and I know what you're doing.

Either way this defense isn't doing great against this Penguins team who is much more potent offense than that Buffalo team.

The Bryz before the injury is the guy they need. Not all his fault but he does need to be better.

We need to keep Bryz in net and have the Forwards and Defense stop all the cross-ice passes. Even if that means Briere, and Jagr have to drop below the blue-line in the defensive zone. Give Pittsburgh the shots from the point, and take everything down low away. Give me a nice defensive 3-2 game with the Flyers winning.

And who do you see replacing Rinaldo?

I think having both Harry Z and Wellwood in the line up might not be a great plan, they are similar players.
