Well, they were well rested after taking the 2nd period off.

In both games. That second period has been huge for us the last 2 games. Probably will be again tomorrow, I fully expect to be down after the first, I think the Flyers will come out like gangbusters.

Wow...Boston's got a dancing schmuck too.

I hope so. And if they do, I hope they bring one new piece of vocabulary with it...

Sustain.

EDIT - What the hell happened over in your thread? You're letting guys in without proper screening again.

What I've noticed is a complete flip flop. The first 3 games the Flyers were putting the puck deep and getting on our D forcing turnovers. Now it's the Pens doing that to the Flyers and the fact that these guys are playing close to 30 minutes it's taking a toll. Whether we have one game left or 2 I expect both teams to bring it and provide us with some stellar hockey.

I'll be honest. The Flyers didn't lose game 5 due to their defense and those guys playing those minutes. They lost game 5 because they failed to generate offense 5 on 5, especially in the 2nd period. The Forwards for the Flyers are the biggest culprits in the game. They have to be better

5 on 5 the Flyers are generating absolutely nothing until the third period. A lot of that once again comes back to getting pucks deep and controlling the play.

0:43 seconds. You're welcome.

I think it's difficult to pin the blame on anything/anyone in particular. They all should accept equal share of the blame in the loss.

The Penguin?

In the later clip, I could have sworn it was Alan Ruck in the costume.

The Flyers have a great opportunity tomorrow afternoon on home ice.

They'd better be ready. This noon start is strange.

I don't blame you, but isn't avoidance really just a shirking of your duties?

Ah. Well, yeah, but at least he didn't take on the persona of Rerun.

I don't think you can ban people when 2 people are having an argument but they are both arguing the same side and don't even know it.

One of our posters is in Alaska. 8 AM for him. I can't even imagine that.

But he said he had a surprise for the Flyers in game 7. Don't win game 6 because then i won't find out what entertainment greatness he has in store.

Bruins on the ropes.

In my opinion it's not. The loss can clearly be pinned on the lack of 5 on 5 offense. As a team, they all should accept blame. But that's not what I'm talking about.

Forget the start time, if your not ready to play tomorrow then you dont deserve to win, this is the playoffs.

The lack of even strength scoring isn't AS important when your PP is 10 for 20 or whatever ridiculous number it is.

Not a ban, necessarily.

Clearly Laviolette doesn't think much of Kubina or Lilja for whatever reason, hurt or otherwise, based upon their playing time last night. Therefore them being a bit of a waste of a roster spot the last game isn't too far off and is no way a critique of their careers.
- wolfhounds

It's incredibly far off. It's not the case under any circumstance. It's an off base, incorrect, statement whether it is abut one game or a career.

Not a ban, necessarily.


- tangent_man

I probably should have. Thought the Flyer fan was fine and hoped the Pen fan would just stop.
