The positive is, if Bryz keeps this up and finds his March form...

They win games, but the Flyers forget how to play offense, which I think is more annoying?

Bryzgalov has been stellar, but you can't play like this and expect to win games.

Hadn't heard a peep until they had a bad period, weird.

Exactly. One guy out of 20 has shown up through two periods.

No you can't. But the Flyers still have the lead. And there is another period to play. I expect the Flyers to make a push. And I'll gladly take a game where the FLyers are outplayed, but win due to goaltending.

You been waiting for your goalie to steal a game and right now he is in line to do it. The Devils are getting really good chances but Bryz has been there to stop them all. That was a very poor period for the Flyers. Its like they never came out of the locker room.

It's unfair to ask Bryzgalov to steal this game with the type of effort in front of him.

You'd think we were losing the way I'm reading the complaints. There is no question the Flyers need to start putting shots on Brodeur but at the same time, Bryz is finally holding up his end of the bargain. The offense has carried us in a lot of games but this time, for one game, our goaltending is coming through. I'm okay with this for now. We need a strong 3rd period now. The team just needs to win this one for Bryz. Simple as that.

No it's not. I'll use a line you use often. He's a 51M goalie.

- PLindbergh31


ha, doesn't matter to that team, they're still that much better than our team. Eh, guess I'll go back to watching the Flyers play.

I would take it though. It would be huge for Bryz and he can do it

Is it unfair to have a goalie steal one for us though? We've hoped for it not only all season long but the past 15 to 20 years.

Have to credit the Devils for playing a tremendous period, but the Flyers looked like they were out for a sunday skate at the local rink.
- PLindbergh31


This is the Devils system at their best, the Devils are making the Flyers play bad, in a way. Almost every dump-in, a Devils player was right there with the Flyers player to pressure him or turn the puck over.

Isn't that the only time, be definition, a goalie has a chance to "steal a game"?

Granted the flyers didn't play their best, but I took it as the devils giving their all and our goalie doing what we hoped. They will come out better in the third and we can forget about "the worst period of playoff hockey ever"

well, as BAD as that period was ... and it was BAD, we still have the lead, and if we play the kind of hockey that got us here we'll win this 3rd period and go up 2 zip.

That was a terrible period. They are lucky Bryz is playing well. They can't keep this sloppy play up. Need a strong third.

If their "system" is outworking/outhustling the Flyers, than yes, they are executing it
