The Rangers have been one of the best teams in hockey over the 2nd half of the season.

The Flyers have played very well since their horrid start to the season. The Rangers still have a better record since that time.

This is a good team.

The Rangers aren't a bad team. The Flyers aren't a bad team.

2 weeks ago it was, let's make the playoffs. Once you get in anything can happen.

Rangers aren't better. They have a better game plan. Flyers are completely unwilling to change their style of play to defeat the Rangers.

When Brian Boyle looks faster than 17 Skaters on the Flyers bench, there is something wrong.

Yes, because Boyle is playing on their 4th line and is a VERY GOOD 4th line player. The Rangers have guys like Dominick Moore and Brian Boyle. The Flyers have Zac Rinaldo and Adam Hall.

I think its unfair to judge a player based on Cup rings. Last I checked it was a team sport that is usally won by an elite goaltender...
- GOA88


Well...there was Niemi, Fleury, Osgood, Ward, Khabibulin...

I agree. Berube has been out coached bad. Can someone honestly tell me that the Rangers are that much more talented??? I mean Zuccarello led that team in scoring with 59 pts. Thats speaks for itself. They have better defense. I get it. They have the better goalie. I get that. Overall the Flyers on paper are the more talented group.

No, it's because of the system that they play. Jody Shelley didn't look that bad as a Ranger too, mind you. We all know how that turned out for us.

Who has the more talented top 12 forwards?

Rangers or Flyers?

Game plan dont mean poop if your players dont execute. The flyers forward corps might as well show up drunk. Theres one maybe two other guys who have come to play everygame this series and left it all out on the ice.

The Rangers have a MUCH BETTER defense and a distinct advantage in goaltending. They are also much deeper at forward. Their offensive numbers are worse because they play a committed, two-way game.

VL had 20 goals, but it doesn't mean he's a good player. Our 2nd line has 68 total goals, but gets outplayed every night.

It all comes down to the Power Play. The Flyers relied on it all year long. They aren't going to all the sudden not rely on it in the playoffs.

Voracek, Giroux, Vinny, Hartnell, and Simmonds all scored a ton of Goals on the PP. That's 5 of our 7 20 goal scorers.

Rangers aren't a better team. Flyers are just playing themselves out of the playoffs. It's easier to say the Rangers are better than to admit your team poop the bed.
