I probably sound like a broken record with how many times I say this year's playoffs is like 2010, but I have to completely agree with you. Let's hope it all plays out the same, minus the results of the Cup Final!

Crosby was pulling all of his teammates' groins last series, but he didn't miss a game. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitresses and try the veal.

I think tonight will belong to Briere, JVR, and Simmonds. Bryz will be good not great, but that's all we need from him in this series. 5-2 final.

If both the Flyers and Sixers are playing, the Flyers will move over to 93.3 WMMR for the game. Still stays on FM, so no complaints there! WIP deserves to lose these teams.

I have been saying to my friends, the offense reminds me of the 2010 team. But instead of Hartnell and Leino with Briere, it is JVR and Jake that are stepping up. I think we can roll 4 lines and really have no weakness up front. We had better top D in 2010, but as a whole I think this defensive unit is better. Again, there is no D pair that I am afraid to have out there.

Rangers vs. Caps: I would love to pick with my heart, but I think the Rangers will step up from their first round performance. Rangers in 6. Flyers vs. Devils: I am scared that I really can't find a single person who is picking the Devils. But like everyone else, I just can't see how the Devils can compete with the Flyers if both teams play like they did in round one. Flyers in 5. Blues vs. Kings: This time I am going with my heart, as I really want to see a Flyers East vs. Flyers West Stanley Cup Final. The storylines would be endless. Kings in 7. Coyotes vs. Preds: The Coyotes took game 1, but I think The Preds are a better team overall, and their offense will improve as the series goes on. Preds in 6.

Thank you for using you're 4th post to respond to me. I feel honored. Now go puff out your chest at the local bar and take home the girl that looks the closest like Tyler Kennedy.

We are winning tonight. We are clearly the better team. The Flyers mailed it in during the 2nd period of Game 4. They own the Pens in Pissburgh, and both teams know it. They will not let this game slip away. So don't let 1 game make you forget about the first 3. This series ends tonight. So at around 10:15 tonight, when the series is over and we're all watching the handshake line, raise your glasses or bottles and toast Briere, Giroux, Hartnell, Read, Simmonds, Couturier, Jagr, and even Bryz. Because we're going to round 2, and there is nothing that Cindy, Corky, Frankenstein's Monster, or Flower Girl can do to stop it. Let's Go Flyers!

Milli Vinnilli would have a better plus/minus.

hagelin was just suspended 3 games for his elbow in the Rangers/Sens game last night. I am revising my predictions. Neal 1, Adams 1, Asham 4. Take that to the bank.

Neal gets 1, Asham gets 3. The rought stuff is going to send the ratings up, but Shanny needs to at least act like he is trying to keep things in check.

It was a woman who was on the phone, and she said she handled the orders from the Flyers in the past. She better hope the owner doesn't find out about this or she may have to start applying for the only other available job in West Virginia: the mines.

Looks like the rib joint will sell to the Flyers after all. 97.5 called them this morning and they said they didn't serve them that one time because it was Easter Sunday. The lady's exact quote was "If you have money, we have ribs." Let's go eat!

If someone is fined for specifically fighting Cindy or Frankenstein, I offer up $20 bucks. If Lavy punches a player or Bielsma, $50.

I don't know about the playoffs, but I'm fresh to go today if they want to goon it up. You don't get suspended multiple times in college hockey for no reason!

I hope this becomes a goon fest today. But we need to be careful on who fights Cindy because that will be an automatic suspension. So the question is, who do you want to sit for games 1-4 of the playoffs? Cindy won't fight Shelley, so can Harry Z fight?

Here's the problem with Carle. He is a good player and can put some points up. There are at least a few teams that will realize that. I think he is going to get a $4.5 to 5 million offer from another team in the offseason. I wouldn't pay him that to stay in Philly. And we havne't been hurting to score when you look at the season as a whole. We have needed D who can clear the net and take the body. We now have that locked up for 4 years. We will get either Kubina or Carle, but not both. I think Kubina ends up being the route the Flyers go with.

I think we have seen that any offense against the Penguins will be fined, so I say we start a fund to help pay for whatever Flyers gets the fine today. This isn't a bounty because I'm not asking them to injure a player. I am saying that I KNOW a fine will come from somewhere today and it most likely will be unwarranted. Anyone else in?

What you didn't hear is that immediately after this interview, Milbury was assigned to cover rounds 1 and 2 of the Maple Leaf Open, the annual golfing event for the playoffless Toronto Maple Leafs.

43 out of 60. Does that qualify for the grand prize, getting to join Panotch for his next post-game interview of Bryz?

If Washington gets the 8, I see them going out in 4 or 5 games. There's an offseason of change coming to Washington.

Here is how I see things shaking out. The 7 and 8 seeds may get jumbled a bit, but I think it will be 1-Pittsburgh, 2-Boston, 3-Florida, 4-NYR, 5-Flyers, 6-Devils. Devils will knock off Florida, we will beat the Rangers, so it will be Pittsburgh-Devils and Bruins-Flyers in the 2nd round. If we have the hot goalie, we have a shot because Boston can't roll over us in a shootout in the playoffs. So then Pittsburgh-Flyers in the Conference Finals. 7 game series that we win in Pittsburgh on a Bryz shutout. My ONLY (Ha!) fear is that we would be too worn out from the Pittsburgh series for the Stanley Cup Finals.

My whole thing is, who cares if it was based on the Simmonds play? To think that teammates don't show frustration towards one another on the ice is incorrect. If a guy receives a "buddy" pass, the passer will surely get chewed out. If a guy misses a wide open player streaking in on a breakaway, he may raise his stick or look back at the player. If a guy won't pass the puck, someone may start banging their stick in frustration to call for the puck. None of those situations show that someone is a bad teammate. I think Bryz has a big target on his back and if he even sneezed the wrong way, his detractors are going to jump all over him. At this point, he is our goalie going forward into the playoffs. I know comments on a message board won't ever get to him, but I don't see what the point is right now in bashing him. It's not going to change anything. It's just like the fact that right now, booing solves nothing except potentially wears away what little confidence he has built.

I was posting it more as a local kid getting to play in the area, and from a personal perspective, a fellow Roman grad who played there a couple years after I graduated. But yea, the stats aren't anything to write home about.
