trevor Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I literally had milk coming out of my nose and I wasn't even drinking any after reading this. Thanks for the laugh Yea sure thing. I guess both will for sure happen. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Super User Posted May 3, 2011 What a game that was. I will admit, the Flyers deserved to win that game, but Thomas stood on his head and stole that one for the B's. That was playoff hochey at its best. As Bilge would say "a real barn burner". Quote
GrundleLove Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Thomas= Vezina Boucher= locker room for a sore hand. Quote
GTrombly Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 3-0 Dejavu? If you weren't from Ma. you would have gotten a -1... Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 5, 2011 Super User Posted May 5, 2011 The Bruins look poised to finish off the Flyers and take the series in 4. A-Jay Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Super User Posted May 5, 2011 If you weren't from Ma. you would have gotten a -1... It's been 39 years...I'm cautiously optimistic Quote
GTrombly Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I hope they do it. I need them to keep playing so I have something to watch also, with over 100 games left for the redsox I don't really feel like watching yet. Quote
GrundleLove Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Dear Boucher, You suck. Sincerely, Grundlelove 1 Quote
hookingem Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Flyers are stinking! At least my phills have been playing good ball. We need another Bernie Parent I can hear the flyers fans chanting now Bernie and the nets.... Lol Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Super User Posted May 6, 2011 It would be nice to see the B's finish the series tonight...Should be a great game tho. The Flyers will be a tough team to beat tonight with their backs against the wall. They have too much history and tradition to mail it in. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 Rumour has it that if Bobvrosky starts to get smoked early on, they're gonna pick a random fan to try out in goal.... Quote

Super User bilgerat Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 I thought that was how they got Boucher? Actually, Bouch is like about 80% of NHL goalies. Streaky, not bad overall but prone to bad runs. He's not the worst by far, certainly not the best. He just highlights the fact that true Hall of Fame caliber goalies are few and far between. Only Flyer fans likely remeber this, but Bobvrosky was the talk of the NHL back in October when he was on fire. The fire since died out. He's young and has a lot to learn but the potential is there. We'll see in a few years. Quote

We'll see in a few years. Your right, most goalies are super streaky, but Boucher is actually probably a backup, and would fit that bill nicely, but he's your number one and thats killing you, along with Pronger being out. I think last offseason the Philly brass probably put too much stock in their defense, hoping it could or would protect the goalie. That being said, this series is not over,goalies are streaky, and yours could go on a hot streak, and ours could go cold. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 One thing they did early this season was discourage Carcillo from enforcing and wanted him to work more on his forward posistion. Sometimes I swear he has clown shoes on instead of skates. Let him enforce. If he were back shoring up the defense, especially with Pronger out, it may help our situation. He's a better goon than forward, we have enough offensive weapons. It broke my heart to watch them get beotch slapped like that the other night That aint Flyer hockey. Like the late, great Fred Shero said, "If you don't want to see blood on the ice, go watch the Ice Capades" Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Super User Posted May 6, 2011 How bad can Boucher really be? The Flyers lost the top seed in the playoffs with like a week or two left in the regular season. You don't get there without a decent goalie, but he's just not exactly on top of his game right now. Heck, look what happened to Rask last year? Besides, not having Pronger in this series makes a huge difference. That's like the B's playing without Chara. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted May 7, 2011 Super User Posted May 7, 2011 Ahh well...Props to the Bruins. They were clearly the better team throughout the series. You guys have a hell of a goalie in Thomas. Best of luck, we'll be back next year. 1 Quote

Super User bilgerat Posted May 7, 2011 Super User Posted May 7, 2011 Time to change that avatar! I have already. For some reason it takes a while. If I go into my control panel it shows the new one. Maybe it takes time for the auto resizer to set it up. It's been that way for all of my avatars in the new forum. Quote
midnighthrasher Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 8 wins away... Never gonna happen!!! Boston is not a contendor. Too bad because they are my 29th favorite team in the NHL. Quote

A Flyers fan graciously accepts defeat and wishes you luck. A Habs fan is 1 series removed and still needs one of these: 3 Quote
