St. Louis goalies look great when they just let guys skate in unimpeded and get off shots on good looks

They have to win 3 out of 4 now. Not easy. It can be done though.

If they were good at home you could say that they just need to win a road game.

If you watch the Devils in their own end they have two defenseman behind the net and the two forwards pinching low as well. The Flyers need to do a better job using their point men.

The Flyers are off their game on offense because they cant get pucks deep because Brodeur plays it so well. They need to figure out another way to get the offense going.

Defensively they need to just get the puck up the walls. Trying to do to much and make the perfect pass too many times.

I give the Devils credit for their play but the Flyers are playing dumb hockey at the same time and not working hard.

i know! run brodeur if he comes out of his net cause if he's out of the crease he should be fair game

matt carle makes a dumb mistake pretty much every game that leads to a goal
there's a reason why pronger is injured he had to carry that bum on his back

- 2Real



It's funny that Carle told Philly he wants more money than what they offered him

I'm not a guy that shies away from criticizing a goalie, but man, I just don't get what some of you guys see. The Bryz of tonight on a better defensive team, like LA, or NJ, doesn't let in 4 goals because things like point blank Kovalchuk shots don't happen. And nothing terribly "leaky" went in. Elias is a good player... sometimes good players make their shot. It happens. I was ready to give up on Bryz earlier this year for the rest of it, but good god, the team play was atrocious at times tonight and all of game 2. No goalie overcomes that. Watch the other games in the playoffs. It isn't happening. These goalies with great stats are getting great support from the rest of the team

Can we clone you. Or can we hack a few of these jerk offs accounts so that their posts get rerouted and reconfigured into something like this

I guess it's my black and gold glasses, but I thought Bryz made some very timely saves (2 breakaway stops)

He's definitely playing better than he was in Rd 1...

- nhindian

I was listening to the radio call and Therien is perfectly willing to blame whoever is responsible. He was not blaming bryz for this mess.

So let me get this right Pronger is hurt because Carle let the Maple Leaf put his stick into Prongers eye and effectively end his season?

Or was it the goaltender?
- bodiva88


The unimpressiveness (?) or the good stretch?

Probably both.

The team D was noticeably ... smarter (?) in that stretch.

i can't believe some people are content with losing to a terrible team
- 2Real


I think that's why the Flyers are down 2-1 in this Your players think we're terrible and don't give us any credit.. figure they can just half ass it and still beat us. It's the playoffs. Every team left is very good.

Unless you can provide a legit media source confirming this do not speculate.

Flyers are working hard. Give credit to the devils they are working smarter. This is system beating the flyers. They have no answer to the tremendous pressure. And G is Hurt. Flyers are working hard

I don't think they are a terrible team, terrible teams don't put up 100 point seasons.

he sure as hell blamed him on the elias goal, the first one, which i heard on the radio. based on what he said, i thought it was a brutal goal. i saw the replay and don't agree with what he said at all.
