Never happened. They just skipped right to year 41.

Of course, this helped a bit...

Cubs have some openings in their fan base. I support my team. I'm positive in looking and judging my team. And this Series loss isn't going to change that,

You can be negative and reference other teams all you want. That's expected from you. But I choose, and it is a choice. To think positive.

Funny how I think positive about everything else in life.

You honestly think Kimmo is the only one on this team that doesn't like Bryz?
- Yosimar89

It seemed most people were embarrassed by him from what little I've seen of 24/7

not the best way to mentally help a goalie

Wow was NBC just waiting for the Flyers to get knocked out to jump all over Bryzgalov, and use their psychiatry degrees on his mental state. Nice for JR to spew the old "Flyers haven't had a goalie since Hextall" spiel. Hey JR, the goalies on your Flyers teams says "thanks".

It does sting. But I feel that the bigger and better things are in store for this team in future years.

We are not going to be contenders next year. Sorry. Thats just delusional. We had trouble with defensive teams all year and one just took us behind the woodshed. Thats not going to change in 1 year.

Gagne won't be playing, not sure if it would mean anything for him to be on a team that win a cup, when he wasn't a participant in the playoffs. It would bother me immensely if Carter and Richards skate around with it, not because I dislike them, but it would just be another cross to bear.

i know he's out, but he's still have been part of a cup team. not sure if he played in 25 regular season games, which i think is the minimum (unless you play in even 1 game of the final).

i'd bear the cross happily as long as it means a cup is not in the hands of either of those two other franchises. i have nothing against the kings as an organization - or their fans.

It would only be a cross to bear if you make it one.

Not trying to troll, but the Flyers will never go far with Bryzgalov. Just look at Phoenix. They get rid of Bryzy and are now in the WCF. At no point in these or any playoffs that Bryzy has ever played has he been the reason why his team won.

THe guys on VS are ragging on Bryz, but he was the least of the Flyers' problems this series. Just goes to show they just make poop up as they go along. Bad gwg aside, the Flyers couldn't score more than 1 goal tonight.

They had trouble with teams that forecheck all season.

Adjustments need to be made to the roster. That happens every off-season.

who cares about what Melrose says
- nhindian

Barry Melrose couldn't coach a Wayne Gretzky-led team to a Stanley Cup.

He doesn't know poop.

Then why aren't you positive on this board and with the Flyers.

Dude, we went to the Stanley Cup Finals with Mike (frank)ing Leighton. Don't tell us we're going nowhere. Bryz was the least of the Flyers' problems this playoffs.

Fair points, I can come around to your way of thinking. Certainly won't be a 12th Cup awarded to a team in Flyers Division since they last won. That's not happening right? RIGHT?

Not saying he was the only problem, but Leighton did make big saves when it counted.

I'm sure you can figure it out.

HAHAHA that's funny.

He was a sieve in the Finals. The D was outstanding in front of him until then. When he had to make a big save, he couldn't. The cup winning goal was horrid. Back to the AHL for him.

History tells us that things definitely do change from one year to the next. And it's assinine to state before you even know what the team that will take the ice, looks like, that it is delusional to think that they could be a contender next Season.

You're kidding me, right?

Which was the knock on him prior to leaving Phx. We have several years to see if that holds true.

I'm sure you can figure it out.
- PLindbergh31

It's pretty easy to figure out. That was done a long time ago.

I remember when Crims was gloating during round 1 while trouncing the Pens. I told him enjoy the moment, it probably wont last. His words, "thanks brah I'm pretty sure it will".
- Buffalo--Sabres

wow you really get humor and sarcasm if you think crim is ever serious on here. brilliant.


good grief.

I knew Kane's shot never went in!
