Well hopefully she can get one more, I'll blur her out you perv!!!











just kidding about the perv.

We must be watching different games. I think Ottawa has been the slightly better team over the series.
- 12,9 and 22

In each of the 3 wins for each team, the goaltender has been the best player on the ice by a significant margin. Not really hard to understand. If you don't think a .961 save % in the 3 Ottawa victories means it's all Anderson, not sure what to tell you.

4 goals a game in the playoffs is a lot. I hope the Flyers don't have trouble scoring in the next round. But what happens if the PP inevitably has a cold streak. The Flyers went a considerable amount of time without scoring 5 on 5 against the Pens. Who weren't exactly a defensive stalwart of a team.
- MJL

The Flyers should also give up less goals as the Pens are by far more of an offensive powerhouse.

It seems a lot of people are letting the Pens series win trump the 8 regulation losses to the Rangers when it comes to the "bring on anyone" posts. I'm all for believing in my team against anyone but come on guys, common sense says every one of us should be rooting hard for the Sens right now. Be careful what you wish for my butt, 8 straight losses!
- hereticpride

Meaningless. It wasn't that long ago that the Pens seemed too good for the league. That being said, I'm rooting hard for the Sens. I hate how the Rangers play.

Someone (Linus, maybe) always called her "sir."

Yeah, no way I win going down that road (who wants to be Marcie?), so I'm going to apologize for my mistake, note the 'diva' in your name, and address you properly from now on.

Hey if it get's flaunted I'm gonna look, just ask my wife

U do realize their leading goal scorer for the playoffs is out with a concussion right?
- JoeRussomanno

Boyle had 3 goals in 5 games, he's hardly one of their best offensive players. Very small playoff sample size thus far. Boyle is much more important on their PK, taking faceoffs, and playing against other teams top lines, then he is offensively. Offense they get from him is gravy.

It was a facetious question. But the fact remains their 4th line center is looking like Mark Messier in that series which is a big reason they are in game 7.

Yes, which is why I said we'd be looking at more games like 3-2, versus some of the scores in the Pens games. More games like game 5.

Stats can be deceiving especially save percentage. Didn't the losing goalie have a high save percentage too. I base my opinions on watching the game not looking at the stats.

Yeah. He's been a big factor, no question.

The Rangers are a good team but so are the Flyers. The team that plays better hockey will go deeper into the playoffs. Earlier in the year the Rangers looked primed to go to the finals but down the stretch they have become vulnerable imo.

Being that Philadelphia can easily outscore anyone that's left do you see them keeping this style of game going or tightening up? I think they should just let it loose and dare teams to try and outscore them.

rhetorical question?

I totally agree. I think the Flyers special teams has to be the difference in the series. If they play defense like they did in Game 6 I have zero concern with whoever we play.

Games like those in 5 and 6 of that series are more realistic. Those first 4 games imo were a result of mainly emotion. Each team wanted to just pulverize and humiliate the other so bad that by the time it got under control the damage was done.

Yikes that is a miniscule OBP. If they continue to get quality starting pitching they will be competitive. They can't fire Palmer. He's Mr. Oriole. (Well him and Ripken).
- PLindbergh31

I think it's gonna be hard to avoid 90 losses again.

Too many soft outs, at least for the first tenth of the season.

Lotsa solo homers, though.

That's their style. And if Bryz can stop the ones he's supposed to stop, the Flyers should be good.

Adam Jones is tearing it up for my fantasy team.

Depends on the team. You have to play a balanced game against the Rags or Bs or you're going to get destroyed. If its FLA or NJ I'd be slightly more inclined to go in guns blazing. But really team defense against any team should be their first focus. The offense will come.

I question their offensive capability. If I'm in charge of devising a game plan to beat them it's to fight fire with fire here. Don't force anything because they are opportunistic. In that I mean they play so well defensively that they just wait for you to make a mistake by growing impatient and then make you pay for it.

Sure they can turn up the pressure, but it's nothing like a team like the Penguins can do. If the Flyers can hold them to one goal in a game then they should be able to do it to the rangers, by being patient like I said. They make mistakes too and give up odd man rushes but you gotta get them behind in the score. The Flyers have shown they can put 3 up on them, but they gotta take their time.

That's their style. And if Bryz can stop the ones he's supposed to stop, the Flyers should be good.
- wolfhounds

My feelings too. I think the only way they can hurt themselves is by adapting their game to their opposition. I wouldn't be scared of getting into a defense optional trading chances game against the Rags or Bruins. Although if the Bruins get it together they would present the bigger challenge to you.

Stats can be deceiving especially save percentage. Didn't the losing goalie have a high save percentage too. I base my opinions on watching the game not looking at the stats.
- 12,9 and 22

I have watched every game in that series and both goaltenders have been fantastic.

I think the Flyers when playing their best can beat any team in the league. However I also think w/the injuries they've battled this year they will need a little bit of "luck" and have at least one of the Rangers or Bruins knocked off by another team.

If the Flyers play the Rags or Bruins, they are going to have to win some 2-1, 3-2 type games. They won't be scoring 8 goals vs. either of those teams.
