mojo1917 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Since game 2 the devils have been having their way with the rangers. If not for lundquist being all world the devils could be up 2-1 or worse...seeing this play out as it has is making me feel less bad about our teams exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If that's true, you're alone. I hate it when the Flyers lose, regardless of circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 LOL. @doom88I don't like when the Flyers lose either, however the debs are playing some good ball, it wasn't the flyers self destructing. They got beat by a team playing as well as they can, and that team is doing the same thing to the chalk of the east. Wasn't some bs fluke is all I'm saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I can't imagine anyone thinks it was a fluke. So many reasons, including NJ's excellent execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poulin20 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The puzzling thing to me is where are the Devils that sucked vs the Panthers and vs the Flyers in game 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy City Flyer Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The puzzling thing to me is where are the Devils that sucked vs the Panthers and vs the Flyers in game 1?They never really sucked, they only finished 1 point behind us and beat a decent Florida team even tho it went 7. As much as I HATE NJ and anything Devils, they have a chance to knock off the #1 seed and I sure didn't think they had a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poulin20 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) They never really sucked, they only finished 1 point behind us and beat a decent Florida team even tho it went 7. As much as I HATE NJ and anything Devils, they have a chance to knock off the #1 seed and I sure didn't think they had a chance. The Devils struggled for good parts of the season and were only 1 pt behind us due to a plethora of shootout wins. The Flyers had 43 Regulation and OT wins while the Devils only had 36 Regulation/OT wins. 12 of their wins (and hence extra points) came via shootout. They were not really that good of a team in the Regular season. Florida was an even worse team in the regular season and only had home ice becaue they won a very crappy division. The Devils looked horiffic in that series only to pull it out in the end. (Brodeur couldnt stop a beach ball for much of that series). Sometime during game 2 vs the Flyers something clicked and the Devils hit their stride and they have been on a tear ever since. Before that though they were not anything special IMHO.

Then NJ found the gas pedal and got excellent play from guys I didn't expect ( and i don't think a whole lot of other people did either) . the gionta line was really good for them as an example. so now that i've explained the post and kind of ruined the humor...perhaps you'd like to add something of value ? if so, i'd like to see what that may be.

mojo1917 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 the results of the Devils/ Rangers series are starting to become just.The Devils are beating the Rangers just like they did the Flyers. the difference between 4-1 and 4-2 will be Lundquist, who has kept the rangers in striking distance despite the fact he's been under siege for 10 periods... only in the 2nd and 3rd did the Rangers start to play in the Devils zone.

Podein25 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) my memories of elias and broduer killing the flyers remained pretty vivid...so i thought we'd win...I'm not sure what you mean.Here's what I'd say.The problems we had vs NJ, viz:- getting hemmed in our own zone- poor puck pursuit because of poor dumps/no energy (see above)- poor puck possession (lost faceoffs, lost battles, giveaways)- poor gap control- poor (none) puck support in all areas of the ice- etcAll those things were evident in game 1. Then, by half way through game 2, it was pretty clear that we were seriously screwed, especially with the way certain guys were playing (Giroux especially). The problems were systemic (oh no look what I did, now we have to go thru the whole "we need a new system" crap again).Naturally, I held out some small hope that someone could emerge as a difference-maker, change the momentum, but I was prepared for the loss in game 5 and planned for it.
