voracek was there and brodeur skated into him, clearly not interference on that one either. jake even tried to get out of his way
- flyerscup2011

probably not ... just saying it was a little closer to interference there than on the OT goal.

Brodeur had to go around Voracek to get to the net. If he tried to go through him, probably would've drew a call. Brodeur didn't skate into him, but rather tried to skate around him.

Watch the replay Bro. Voracek was never in front of Brodeur. In my opinion, Broduer took a dive to try and draw a call there. He knew he was in trouble. All he had to do was wrap it around the boards, instead he tried to go up ice.

The pass was stupid of him, but Voracek definitely made contact with Brodeur, it's probably that Voracek was already there so I guess that classifies as establishing his position? You know damn straight Voracek knew what he was doing.

I don't think there was a lot of contact there. I think it was more embellishment on Brodeur's part then anything. He has much better balance then that.

I think it was part that and part him trying to get there to make the save.

I can live with that.

I'm glad they're letting them play. And if it happens to the Flyers, I promise you, I'll look at it with complete objectivity.

Voracek definitely put himself there to make Brodeur skate around him, that had something to do with it too. Brodeur had to arch around Voracek as he wanted to get to the crease to make the save.

Voracek was behind Broduer the whole time. Varacek reached in with his stick and definitely took some of the mustard off of Brodeur's clearing attempt.

That's a guarantee. Stick around for the "conspiracy against the Flyers by the NHL" talk.

Watch it again, when Brodeur went to go the front of his crease, he had to go around Voracek who was in front of him. That's obvious.

If the Devils scored after that no goal.

Look at Nick Grossmann...I'm not saying he's playing with a concussion, but...

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

With the exception of the Sykora goal, I thought Bryzgalov was good today.
- MJL

I had more of a problem with the zajac goal. A little too nonchalant getting back into position and he paid for it

Voracek was in front of Brodeur?

Maybe not directly in front of, but in between him and his direct route to the net.

He also took a pretty big open ice hit. I hope that doesn't have any effect.

Brodeur wants to make plays in the puck all the time. It's not always going to go well for him

I think he skate got a little hung on the post. I have far more of a problem with the coverage on the play, in front of him.

If I recall, he was the one that didn't catch up to Sykora on his goal. If he was the one that couldn't outskate Sykora, he's not 100%
- _Zippy_


He wasn't on the ice. That was Lilja.

Is Lilja that slow? I couldn't tell if it was 6 or 8.
