Is it is wrong to hope the Devils go undefeated the rest of the way? Well yeah that question answers itself, but still I'd really like to see our rookies win a round (assuming that would happen vs Fla) and get some playoff experience building toward the future. I don't like our chances against the Rags or the Pens, not trying to be negative just how I see it

I bet the NHL goes to the Stupid Shootout for the first 3 rounds if and when the next big t.v. contract is negotiated - if ESPN ever agrees to carry the NHL again that'll be part of the package guaranteed.

I just threw up in my mouth. I hear where you're coming from, TV and $ call the shots. But the regular season shootout compromises the integrity of the game as is, doing it in the playoffs at any level would destroy it completely. I just can't see it....but then again I woulda never believed 3 total points in some games and 2 in others....or the freaking trapezoid either.....

All I know is a system that would reward the Flyers for letting NJ pass them in the standings is seriously effed up!

Nah, we'll play the Penguins, since I know about 5,000 of them, and it will be a non-stop **** storm from them for 2 weeks. Rangers..I know NO one that's a fan..so there is no way we play them.

Flawed logic, perhaps?

Somehow, that seems perfectly logical to me....of course I also think that I'm the reason the flyers lose to the devils in North Jersey every time I go up there, so take that for what it's worth....

@Vanflyer

Probably not suspension-worthy, but agreed the in-game penalty didn't fit the crime

Kunitz should have been tossed after he re-engaged after separation, or after he was grinding Hartnell's face into the ice. Dare I say a match penalty at that point?

I really don't know how that wasn't at least a 10 min misconduct. Sometimes I think we b*tch too much about the Pens being Bettman's team, but JFC some of the dirty cheap crap they get away with.... How sweet that Scott got the game winner.

i hate to revel in another person's pain,

Me too, unless it's those cheap shot penguins and their whiny b*tch fans, keep the posts coming Mikey!

and while he didn't have to be as good this afternoon, the penguins could easily have run it up a little in the 2nd when they had the flyers on their butts all period long. credit bryzgalov for another keeping-the-flyers-in-it showing.

Agreed. I thought Bryz was very good today, if not for him a 2 goal third period wouldn't have been enough to tie it up....or even make it close for that matter.

Flyers/Pens at 4/5 would drive me nuts.

Yeah. How do you think that possibility makes Flyers fans feel? I'd rather face anybody in the East than the Penguinos

Yeah, you could start with Hartnell and have him do his accidental flop into the goalie.....rattle his cage a bit for the second and third shooters! Ok maybe not but I got a funny visual anyway....

Was at my kid's soccer game, got home just in time for OT. Don't know how he looked in the game but that shootout was putrid. Didn't even flinch on goal #2 to his glove side. Well at least they salvaged a point after going down 2 zip.

P.S. I love the "Floyd" tribute. My 19 yo has that poster on his wall.

Now that's a sign of good upbringing right there!

Man, one of my kids has a soccer game at 2......don't they check the hockey schedule before they set these times???!!

Or abused armadillos.

I was wondering same about MrX

Yeah, I miss that crazy cop

@Southwestflyer

I didn't know you were an original Silly.com poster. How is New Mexico?

And has he seen MrX13 out there?? Better check the escalators for flying senior citizens

Punishment rescinded on account of the awesomeness of your avatar.

Most gracious of you....hard to go wrong with naked young ladies spraypainted all Floydian. That Flyers-Deadskull is awesomely awesome too!

No sheep for you!

Ouch that's a...stiff punishment

K-bag must be answering his own posts over there by now. Welcome aboard SW

Nice to see Carle getting some of the recognition that he deservers. The guy has been seriously under appreciated by a lot of Flyers fans.

I plead guilty your honor

Thanks Jim.

I didn't think they made bikinis that big....

i am more than happy that he has gotten his crap together recently, but that doesn't mean anyone who found his previous performance unacceptable owes anyone any kind of owning up.

How do you "like" a post here? Because that summed it up perfectly. No seriously, where's the like button.....

I'm happily eating crow!

The transformation is nothing short of stunning, doesn't even look like the same player.....let's hope this is the real Bryz

@Phillygrump

Yeah, that's the heaven and Hell of the technology age, so much good information in a nanosecond but we have to wade through the craps to get to it

@xganarchy

Indeed, Rick lives!

@Miller Time

I didn't see the hit, but I can't see Buttman overruling his discipline czar

Well that's what I needed, some snot nosed punk know it all with a blog admonishing me for stating what we all could plainly see - that Bryz flat out stunk. For months. Great that he's hopefully found his groove, but the author also fails to point out that his hot streak pretty much coincides with the D pulling itself together after the acquisitions of Grossman and Kubina.
