GO FLYERS

[baddest434]

can they become just the 3rd team in hockey history to come back from a 3 games to none deficit to win a 7 game series? last time it happened i believe was the 1975 islanders. i'm not a flyer fan but hell i like when any team can make history. go philly

[Tsar]

+1 for making history.

[GP99GT]

go bruins

[Frosty]

What a ride it's been, I personally wrote them off after Game 3.

The Bruins played a solid game in Game 6 but I think they're a beaten team. If the Flyers score first kiss the game goodbye for the Bruins....at home, blowing a 3 game lead...talk about pressure.

Yeah Bill it's be the 3rd time in NHL history and only the 4th time in North American sports history(2004 Red Sox) so this is a rare bit of history we "might" witness.

Either way this has been on ridiculous series! It's nice to see GREAT hockey that keeps people interested with Ovechkin and Crosby sitting in the golf cart. The SJ/CHI series will be great and whoever plays MTL in the Eastern Conference will be good(talk about another story, the #8 seed Canadians knocking off #1 seed Caps and the defending champs Penguins, not too shabby). The Wacchovia Center is already packed to watch the game on the jumbo-tron.

With that said....

[Slow-V6]

Go Flyers!!

[BonzoHansen]

I hope both teams fall into a sink hole.

[baddest434]

ugh i witnessed that 2004 red sox comeback!! didn't like it to much:evil:

[GP99GT]

lol @ first period

[JL8Jeff]

Wow, crazy game already!

[NastyEllEssWon]

im not even a hockey fan and im watching this game. lots of action. lol i dont know why though but everytime i see the flyers uniform i immediately think of Ron Hextall :rofl:






edit: 9:20, flyers just took a lead...some crazy hitting going on too.

[Tsar]

awesome game

[Frosty]

.....I have no voice left :rofl:

Holy ****....

[BonzoHansen]

Just checking the box score...is it funny Boston blew a 3-0 lead in this game?

1st Period
Boston 5:27, Michael Ryder 4 (power play) (Zdeno Chara, Matt Hunwick)
Boston 9:02, Milan Lucic 4 (power play) (Dennis Wideman, Johnny Boychuk)
Boston 14:10, Milan Lucic 5 (unassisted)
Philadelphia 17:12, James van Riemsdyk 1 (Claude Giroux)
2nd Period
Philadelphia 2:49, Scott Hartnell 2 (Ville Leino, Danny Briere)
Philadelphia 8:39, Danny Briere 7 (Scott Hartnell)
3rd Period
Philadelphia 12:52, Simon Gagne 4 (power play) (Mike Richards, Ville Leino)

[Frosty]

Very poetic isn't it? Blow a 3 goal lead, blow a 3 game lead. Lose the game 4-3, lose the series 4-3.

Baaaaastan fans are probably on suicide watch right now. :rofl:

[NastyEllEssWon]

thats one for sports history right there :nod:

[Knipps]

That's what the bruins did the first round, the only reason they made it to the 2nd round was bc of their ridiculous comebacks. I didn't expect them to make it very far

[baddest434]

thanks to that freakin storm i had no cable or internet. so i missed the damn game.

[Frosty]

Are you serious? That sucks man :(

[deadtrend1]

I couldn't watch the game cause I have Directv. Awesome ... I love Communication Politics that black out channels I should get.

[JL8Jeff]

Man that was a great game. I still can't believe the Flyers have made it this far with all the injuries to key players. I have no idea what to expect in the next series against Montreal.

[baddest434]

Are you serious? That sucks man :(

i sure am serious!! power came back on around 11 pm. i missed a great game!

[Blacdout96]

Are they a championship caliber team? no, but are they a team that should be overlooked, hell no. Finaaly tyhe luck as turn the tides for the flyers, it's usually them that let up a big lead. they've made it this far, I'm a satisfied fan, that and Pittsburg is gone, they gave the flyers much trouble this season, so it's nice to see what might become of this series between the habs and Flyers.

[Frosty]

Both Conference Finals should be great hockey. I can't freaking wait!!!

[Frosty]

Wow, MTL got bitch slapped tonight :)

[NastyEllEssWon]

impressive game tonight :nod:

[NastyEllEssWon]

Wow, MTL got bitch slapped tonight :)





wow philly looks commanding

[Frosty]

They played a sloppy game tonight, too many penalties, but Leighton was solid...

[baddest434]

maybe this is the flyers year. they are on a roll.

[JL8Jeff]

maybe this is the flyers year. they are on a roll.

Don't jinx em. The really didn't look that good last night but the win is all that matters right now.

[band77one]

another shutout for leighton, he's having a killer year when he's healthy, hopefully they can keep up the play for the finals !

[NastyEllEssWon]

theyre not there yet. montreal has made a habit of coming back when down. i would love nothing more than to see a philly team do well....even if im not a fan of the sport :nod:

[Frosty]

I honestly don't think the Habs will come back this series and I'm not saying that because I'm a Flyers fan. I don't think the Flyers will crumble like other teams did, not with that coach, not with the players in the locker room.

I'm done making predictions, the Flyers surprised me. I thought this series was going to be the perfect opportunity for let down after such an emotional series against Boston. Maybe I was wrong about this team.

[NastyEllEssWon]

so philly pulled it off.....chicago looks tough....heres hoping to something to drink about this summer :nod:

[Slow-V6]

unbelievable! Chicago doesnt scare me as much as Montreal did. We just beat the team that knocked off the #1 and #3 seeds in the East.

[my82roc]

Like the Tugger(god rest his soul)used to say."Ya gotta believe".This team is for real,theres no denying that.It should be a good series.

[Frosty]

The 'Hawks are no joke. This will be a great series.

[baddest434]

yeah for philly! and jeff thought i was going to jinx them :lol:

[JL8Jeff]

I still can't believe this team has made it this far. With the injuries in the playoffs they still managed to play a solid game. Now they get some rest which hopefully helps them heal up some more. It should be a good series.

[Frosty]

This team just won't quit. I'm getting tired of hearing how Chicago is superior to this team and how they were going to steamroll Philly in 4 or 5 games. Hopefully now the idiot 'Hawks fans and media will have a nice warm cup of STFU

[NastyEllEssWon]

its a real tight series. if philly can take care of business sunday we might have another parade...woo woo for philly.

[Blacdout96]

This team just won't quit. I'm getting tired of hearing how Chicago is superior to this team and how they were going to steamroll Philly in 4 or 5 games. Hopefully now the idiot 'Hawks fans and media will have a nice warm cup of STFU

Im getting ick of the play by play announcer on Versus ( cant think of his name) He's always anti Flyers, always has to talk about how strong the other team is. Im excited to see the outcome so far, but it suck s I can't watch the games.......If I do, they may lose. the last two games I didn't watch, so intermission and post game is the only time I'm allowed to watch. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to take if it means we get a parade!!!

[JL8Jeff]

These teams are pretty evenly matched up. The Flyers outplayed Chicago in game 2 and lost, Chicago outplayed them last night and lost. Flyers just need to keep shooting the puck and looking for the rebounds.

[Blacdout96]

they are starting to find the weak spots of Niemi, and disrupting their plays more efficiently.

[Frosty]

So where is Dustin Byfuglien at? The way the media made it sound this guy was the Jesus reborn and was going to plow through the Flyers...the guy is a fraud. Just another example how the media will take anyone over the "thugs" of Philly.

I'm on a bunch of different sites and I'm getting a kick out of all of the arrogant, know-nothing 'hawks fans that have gone from "well we're going to sweep, we're going to win in 5 now" to waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Pronger is mean, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Pronger is getting away with stuff, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah the games are fixed for the Flyers.

It's funny. I originally picked the 'hawks in 6 but I think I might be eating those words(happily I might add, pass the hot sauce :rofl: )

[Blacdout96]

Well ByFu is a goon, trying to start crap, reminds me of Domi. Pronger is an excellent asset to the team, and he's been around to knwo what to do, and what not to do. He is holding his ground without tryign to make them slip up and have him caught up in the process. if they dont like the contact sport, watch Soccor where they roll on the ground crying and then get right up after the penalty is called :)

Carcillo was nice to have him in there just to give them a reminder that we'll rough em up if we have to, but at this stage of the game, we need to focus on continuing to disrupt ther western style of play which is alot of passing. we go head first into them, and we need to start switching it up. I see the Flyers trying to grasp the passing game, and they slip up a few times trying. I do love thier enthusiasm, especially with the amount of energy they have in the third, which is telling me Chicago is busting their ass to keep up in the game, being wipped out by the third, allowing a small cushion of opportunity for the flyers.

[BigAls87Z28]

For the sheer fact that I want Philly to win nothing, ever again, Go Hawks.

[baddest434]

[BigAls87Z28]

Actually there was a big GM outreach program at a Chevy dealer in NE philly today. I was asked to go, but had to work.

Good, stay the hell away from here!

(kidding)

[Frosty]

...and so ends the magical run. Sucks they lost on such a cheesedick goal but that's the way the game goes.

What a great, great series.

[Blacdout96]

And now we wait another decade for a finals matchup. The Flyers just cannot get past the speed and passing of the west coast man. And you are so right, that was such a cheesy goal, If I was Kane, I'd ask for a redo

[Frosty]

I don't know if it was Chicago's speed that did it. They just had a lot of bad, lazy turnovers. I'm trying really hard not to rip Leighton, he's a 2nd string or 3rd string goalie that, in part, got the team to the Finals, can't ask for much more....but two REALLY soft goals.....frustrating....

[Blacdout96]

The last one really burned me, bad angle shot, and what not, but Niemi had alot of LUCKY, and I do mean LUCKY saves in this series. I do believe he sold his soul to the devil.

[Frosty]

There's no question he got lucky but a save is a save and he made them when he team needed them.

It also doesn't help when the Flyers shoot right at him....how Carter didn't bury that shot with Niemi flopping around like a fish out of water at the end of the game is beyond me.

[JL8Jeff]

I thought the first 4 games were evenly matched. The last 2 Chicago outplayed the Flyers but it still went to OT. Leighton gave up way too many soft goals in finals. Of course, the Flyers let them skate into the zone, skate across the front and then shoot from the side. They never tried to stop those shots and that's what killed them. Chicago won 3 games by 1 goal, not exactly dominating but it got the job done. The Flyers needed to shoot more, they only had 24 shots in game 6 when you're back is against the wall! Carter and Gagne became non factors. Carter definitely did not have his good shot and he took too long to take the shot whenever he had the puck. Yup, it will be another 10-15 years before they get back to the finals. :cry:

[my82roc]

I was there last nite and Im still feeling sick to my stomach after the way it ended.I didnt see the puck go in,and the red light never went on.We left right as they announced the goal.Really didnt feel like watching chicago skate the cup on our ice.Flyers did have alot of chances but they totally got outplayed as you could tell by the shots on goal.There were a few "phantom"calls against us by the referee(pronger high stick)looked like he hit him in the chest.Sharp`s goal on the 4 on 4 was one leighton should have had.All in all it was a great playoff run and the guys deserve alot of credit for making it to the finals.So now its another summer of "maybe next season".

[Blacdout96]

they need to go back and work on their puck handling a little better, too many times losing the puck. and this passing setup for a half hour on a powerplay, no wonder why they only got 1 shot in two powerplays. i am glad they got where they did, but they were fumbling and runnign around atthe end to try and catch up. Let's hope they hone in on their skills this summer and really come out swinging next season.

Pronger has been around how many years, and his continueing problem of getting petty penalties was hurting.

We also have to realize that Gange and Carter are still hurting, they arent 100%, so I have to give them credit. We need more speed, we go t the grunt, but thats not goign to help us when the puck is stranded in the middle of the ice with a great opportunity of going in fro ma rebound, or a breakaway, but we die off quickly with the speed and it gets tipped away from their sticks.

We always looked strong int the third period, like I said, which tells me Chicago wasent relaxing, they were giving it their all, but Niemi really was the only thing standing int the way of the Flyers flurishing in the third. It just wasent ment to be, and I was prepared for them to lose, but I still feel like **** to see them get that far, come back from no where, and to just come up short....

[JL8Jeff]

That goal was a strange one and you couldn't tell what was going on watching the tv. Even the replays are tough to tell how it got through the way it did. I've never seen that many fans in one place so quiet. But it was a weak goal, just like the game winner in game 1. The game 1 result pissed me off for 3 days.

[BurninrubberGT]

poor flyers :lol:

[Blacdout96]

...and so ends the magical run. Sucks they lost on such a cheesedick goal but that's the way the game goes.

What a great, great series.

Well it may have been one of the greatest in recent history. Flyers set a new attendance record, and I believe they had the highest rated stanley cup playoffs in years. They were dwindling each year ( rightfully so when Dicksburgh's Crosby has tons of air time to cry when he gets hit by a redwing player) But to see this matchup, I really cant think of a better line up to go to the finals.

[Frosty]

The hockey fan in me is ecstatic about the entertainment factor, obviously the Flyers fan in me is disappointed.

I'm glad that the ratings were high, I'm glad it was GREAT hockey without Sid the Crybaby and Ovechkin. Two teams with history, two teams with great storylines.....it was definitely a great year not only for the Flyers/'hawks but also for the NHL.

I still think the Flyers could have and maybe even should have won this series even if they were up against a better team. One thing is safe to say, this team did not quit, they did not stop....hopefully they can use this as a springboard into next year...but they definitely need to make a few changes to address so weak spots.

[baddest434]

hats off to the flyers! i didn't think they would go as far as they did. maybe next year.

[Frosty]

Neither did I :rofl: I'll be the first to admit I wrote them off. I was at a pub watching the last game of the regular season against the Rangers(:rofl: garbage team) and said to a friend right after Boucher made the save that they'll maybe beat NJ since they match up well....after that say good night.

Obviously they had an easier time since the Pens and Caps got knocked out but still.....they shocked me. Unfortunately I was right when I predicted 'hawks in 6 :(

[Slow-V6]

We need a legit #1 Goalie that will stop the typical shot!! If it wasnt for the cheap goals we would have won the series!! I dont think Chicagos goalie gave up easy goals like our goalie did! Both the goalies made tough saves when the team needed them to but the difference is that our goalie gave up weak goals just about every game! You play the puck as a goalie.. You dont play the pass. And for crying out loud face the shooter!! That Kane goal should have been sticked asside or caught if Leighton was facing the shot! It looked like he went down into a butterfly towards the front of the net anticipating a pass to the front of the net and not a shot!!

It was a great run but with Washington and Pittsburg in our conferance its going to be hard to get there again! This was one of those seasons that everything sorta fell into our lap.

[Frosty]

Leighton wasn't playing the pass, he went down at the wrong time and it found a way through. It was a bad angle, there wasn't anywhere for him to come out and challenge. He played it fine, it was just a fluke. Not sure how he could have caught a puck that was along the ice. :confused:

[Slow-V6]

Kane was to the right of the net and Leighton was facing the front of the net!
He went down to protect the post like goalies do to prevent wrap around attempts! I thought he went down in a butterfly. Still there was no reason to go down at all for that shot! Keep ur stick on the ice or turn and face the shooter!


This was a great run but this team hasnt won a cup since what 75? It has been to the finals 6 times since and have not won! To come back and force overtime in your building I was sure they would win and force a game 7. What happened was the worst thing I could have imagined!!. If Leighton got beat on a breakaway goal or a good goal were he played it right then it would not be as bad!

Hey this is Philly right? There is always next year!!

[Slow-V6]

. Not sure how he could have caught a puck that was along the ice. :confused:

there wasn't anywhere for him to come out and challenge



Trapped it with his glove on the ice when he went down if he was facing the shot!

I didnt say come out to challenge I said turn and face the shooter!

[Frosty]

He played it fine, you play that scenario again 100 times and he makes that save 99 times, it was a fluke goal. On that play, on that angle you absolutely, 100% hug the post.

He wasn't playing the pass, he was doing what he was supposed to do on a bad angle and a player rushing down the side, you hug the post, take the short side completely out of the equation, again it just found a way through, it was able to sneak through him. With Kane's speed there was a good chance he was going to slide around the other side of the net, you have to take that into account. Had Leighton then missed a wrap around on the other side people would have have bitched about that.

He just flat out didn't get down in time, that's pretty much it. He was in position to make the save, he just didn't.

He could have and should have at least kept his stick on the ice while hugging the post and just sticked the puck to the boards!! Its the Stanley cup Finals! Its either win or go home. Its not a regular season game. You can not give up a goal like that! You just cant! He knows it. If he would have made that simple routine stop then the Flyers more then likely would have won the game!

This is up there with the Mitch Williams pitch to Joe Carter!!

[Frosty]

There shouldn't have been overtime, there was no reason whatsoever Carter shouldn't have buried a wide open net instead of shooting it right at Niemi.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. It's over, it doesn't matter. It's frustrating that Leighton didn't make that save but there was much, MUCH more to that loss and the loss of the series. If people want to keep keying on Leighton that's fine, ignoring other glaringly obvious issues shows that a lot of people aren't knowledgeable in the sport(not saying that about you, just generally speaking).

[Slow-V6]

Here is a quote from Leighton on CBS sports on the overtime goal!!


Leighton stopped 37 shots -- just not the last one.

"I went to the corner and saw a guy drive the net," he said. "I thought he was going to pass it but he threw it at my feet and it went underneath me."


Complete story here...

Sounds like he was looking for a pass which led to him not playing the shot correctly!! You play who has the puck!! You dont play the pass as a goalie! If you do then you start giving up weak goals!! Your Defense plays the pass. So you go ahead and play that scenario 100 times. I bet you it goes in more then 1 time!!

[Frosty]

That's fine, didn't see that quote, regardless he was still in position to make the save and just didn't. Have you even played the game? Even in his position he should have made the save and just flat out didn't....you can sit there and critique it all you want. He just didn't make the save.

But again, there are/were bigger issues that just Leighton.

[Slow-V6]

. If people want to keep keying on Leighton that's fine, ignoring other glaringly obvious issues shows that a lot of people aren't knowledgeable in the sport(not saying that about you, just generally speaking).

Issues like us being a 7 seed that barely got into the playoffs? That we used basically our 2nd and 3rd string goalies of which both were coming off injuries? Like how Carter and Gagne were obviosly hurt? That Richards could not win a faceoff when we needed it?

[Slow-V6]

But again, there are/were bigger issues that just Leighton.

The quote is around 16 paragraphs down.

You can be in position all you want if you are thinking pass you will play the pass!!

Yes actually I played Goalie in Highschool and a couple of years in the Navy! Probably played 6 yrs of goalie but I wasnt going to mention that because I cant compare what I did against the NHL!

Leighton looked solid on alot of shots in the Finals! But he did give up at least 1 weak goal in just about every game! At times he wasnt coming out to cut down angles, and His 5 hole was pretty wide open on alot of shots! Thats what you would expect as a backup goalie!

[Frosty]

....but that's what he was, a backup goalie. ;)

We can go back and forth as to why he didn't make the save, the fact is he didn't and it was a fluke, he did the right thing and just didn't execute.

...and I thought you played for a while, that's why I asked. I remember you saying you did when you were up for a few car shows.

http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2010/06/2010-stanley-cup-finals-michael-leighton-was-expecting-a-pass.php

How could he be doing the right thing when he said he thought it was a pass? I am not going back and forth with you about why he missed the save I am just reading from Leighton himself on why he missed the goal!

They lost in the Cup finals! It wasnt like the 2nd round or something its the Finals!! Was it cool when the Eagles lost the Superbowl that they could have won? After everything this team went through to get there and loose it like that on home ice! To have the other team come into game 6 Wed with the parade already setup for Friday, and for that team to beat you on a **** goal like that when you had all the momentum in the game! Thats what I am still heated about.. They skated around our home ice with there little Blackhawk flag and then talked **** on our fans for not cheering them when they were on the ice!! We cheered for them when the anounced that the cup was won by the Hawks but after that I aint cheering for you!

If that doesnt hurt you at all as a Philly fan then I dont know whats wrong with you!! This team will be rememberd as a team that withstood so much but in the end fell short! A team that wasnt suppose to be in the finals. Thats the way I will remember this team. Was a great run That ended on the worst goal I have ever seen to win a stanley cup. When my daughter asks me in the future about the 2010 Flyers thats what I will tell her. It was such a bad goal that only 2 players new it went in. the player that shot it and the goalie that gave it up!!

[Frosty]

But he was still in position to make the save and just didn't. Regardless if he was anticipating pass he was still there, the puck went THROUGH him. As a goalie, you know, that's a big no-no for any reason. He let 2 go through him. When I played I'd get pissed if something went through me, I'd rather get beat if someone picked a corner or something, never through me. You can sit there an analyze every little part of why it happened....hell I'm more mad about the goal he let up on Sharp's shot.

As far as the 'hawks talking ****, they proved they're classless. Burish talked **** on Pronger after the game and said he'd punch him in the face...yeah...dude averaged 5 minutes a game in the Finals and had no points....real big force there :rolleyes:

The fact is the ride was great and they came up short. They faced a slightly faster, slightly more skilled team. Goaltending was a big factor in their loss but it wasn't the WHOLE issue. I don't know how else to say it. Leighton let in a few soft goals, it happens. He's not the sole reason they lost, the game should have never gone to OT to begin with. A few players dissapeared and their D was just exhausted....Krichek(sp) needs to go, Parent needs to stay on the Phantoms and they need get a solid D man to relieve Pronger and Timonen, they're not young any more.

I tip my hat to the 'hawks, they earned this win and the cup. I'm not gonna rip the team or a player for the loss....no one(including myself) thought they would get this far. They played their asses off and came up a bit short. They played well above their potential IMO, got hot at the right time but they still have a ton of holes to fill. Leighton isn't a superstar, he isn't an elite goalie. He is a player that was picked up on waivers, a player that almost went to Europe to play since no NHL team wanted him. He is what he is. Flyers fans jumped on his back because he played well against a joke of a Habs team that weren't nearly as good as people thought they were. The Flyers finally played an offensive powerhouse and they were exposed. No one in the East that they faced had a great offense so it was no doubt a false sense of security.

I'm still mad about the loss, since I can't play the sport any more I kind of live through the Flyers when it comes to sports, it absolutely sucks that they lost on home ice, the way they did(like you said) but the bigger picture is that it was still a successful season. They can build on this, think of what they accomplished.

Such is the life of a Philly sports fan, they lead you to the edge of victory and just fall short. It happens but they win and lose as a team...and it was a team effort the entire season...that's the way I'm gonna look at it.

[Slow-V6]

Its like in baseball. If you go to the plate thinking fastball and get a changeup you will not hit it and the ball will get by you. Your in position to hit the ball but your mind is focussed on another pitch and you miss the pitch that is thrown to you. If you a goalie and in your mind you think that the player is going to pass the puck and then he shoots it instead then the puck will go through you as well!

Leighton is a great backup goalie that got exposed in the finals and was pulled from 2 games because of it! I had a feeling that the season would end because of the goalies but not on a stupid, almost parralle shot on net like that was!!


On other news man the Phillies are doing bad right now!

[Frosty]

You're talking to an ex goalie ;) I know. But anticipation is also part of a goalies mindset but enough arguing. You keep keying in on him thinking pass....he was still in position to make the save and just didn't.

...and yeah the Phillies are just......horrible right now. They'll turn it around....at least that's what we've been saying for the last month.

[NastyEllEssWon]

flyers couldnt pass the puck for garbage

I think they won today!! The Phillies! At least its still early in the season.

Yup and Hamels was one of my starting pitchers for my fantasy team so it was a win/win :)
