watched the game at work last night it was disgusting... every thing the Flyers did right in the 1st 3 games they did wrong last night .. and bryz well i don't think i need to say anything about him...but they have 3 games to win 1 so it isn't all bad .. what i did like was with the exception of Rinaldo the team for the whole kept its composure they had a few gaffs ( Reads elbow) but they were able to hold it together....

now Rinaldo was lucky he didn't draw a match penalty on what he did a complete lack of control and deserving of every penalty minute he got ... time for them to regroup and come out hard in game 5... the good thing is when a team gets blown out like that they normally come out the next game with a vengeance.... GO FLYERS!!!!

A blowout lose is way better then any overtime or close game. The Flyers will feed on this disgraceful experience, and learn from it. Geting humiliated by another team doesn't sit well. The way the Flyers lose this series, is if Bryz completely poops the bed. Then poor Snider would have a heart attack.

To me, the whole team was waaayy too loosy goosy. I hope Lavy and the leadership group tore a strip off them. THis is a good teamwe have on the ropes, and we just wasted an opportunity to dispatch of them. All is not lost, but they have to refocus immediately.

I fully believe if Bryz doesn't blow chunks in game 4. Flyers would have won, they had full momentum, then Bryz let's in another poop goal to Malkin. That one goal gave them hope.

If the Flyers lose in 7 to the Penguins, It's going to be because of one person. Bryz

Nope this lost is haunting every Flyer, till Friday. Also there is a reason why only the 1942 Leafs, 1975 Islanders, The 2010 Flyers, are the only teams in history to come back from 3-0.
Also no one in Basketball has ever come back from 3-0, and only the Red Soxs have done it in baseball.
It's virtually impossible.

The way these 2 teams have been playing, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a Pens comeback.

I don't know why you're making the leap to even discuss that we'd lose in game 7 and if so it's Bryz's fault for losing game 4. Sure both tenders played bad, but we are still in the drivers seat.

Bryz letting Malkin score on the worst goal let in yet this postseason is what changed momentum .

I think 17 goals against in 4 games is exactly that...

Malkin better get (frank)ing suspended.
- Scottie Upshall


Not going to happen. Flyers need to regroup and put this game behind them. Better days ahead. Have to finish the job in Pittsburgh. Get focused and win the game.

the 2 days off messed with the Flyers karma they had control and the extra day allowed the pens to re-focus now its time to shut the door on them and get them back off there game the 1 good thing is usually when a goalie poops the bed like Bryz did last night the next game he comes back hard the flyers wont let last night happen again and i don't think it will go another game

in truth last nights game had me worried before the start Pitts was going to come out hard and they did and i agree the flyers were to loose and not playing tight enough down low they need to tighten up on the defensive end and get more shots at the net although they won MAF did not have a good game his save percentage was still under .800 we need to take advantage of that

Well, I'm glad you're at least thinking rationally.

Yep, last night was ugly. Completely franking ugly. But it's only one game. Still up 3-1. I'm still confident in this team. They'll do some assessing, make some adjustments, and be ready to go on Friday.

That's what sucks about the NHL playoffs. If you lose one game, the series is over. I mean, the Flyers lead the series 3-1, they had scored 8 goals in back to back games, have bounced back from adversity all year to post one of the 5 best records in the NHL and need to win one out of three games, two of which will be played in a building that they are 7-1 in over it's history

Obviously there's nothing to be positive about. Let's discuss off season moves because there's no way that they make it past the Pens now.

I have two concerns. Obviously Grossmann. He's a big part of the puzzle and not having him will hurt.

I'm also concerned that Bryzgalov's foot is really bothering him. He's not moving well

I agree with you.. but Ill tell you what.. I am not comfortable at all right now.

Grossmann is out, and if its a conky likely wont be back for ATLEAST a week.

Neal and Adams are back Friday and will likely come out with a huge chip on their shoulders. The Pens have their backs against the wall.. and have shown their own ability to battle through extreme adversity.

IF the Flyers dont come ready to play 60 minutes on Friday.. poops gonna get real

He was especially slow in getting over on Letang's goal, and Letang held the puck as long as he did when Bryzgalov made 'The Save' in game 2. Hopefully it was just one of those nights.

You're not at all concerned that they've given up 22 goals in the last four games?
