  2. I hate it when these patterns continue.

    Make that 4 of 6 elimination games where the Habs scored the 1st goal in the 1st 2 minutes of the game.

  6. Geez. The Flyers need to play this entire game short-handed. It might be their only way to win.

  11. I gotta feelin that Les Habs will be Bruin tonight.

    Bruin in Flyers Urban Dictionary = Choke.

  12. While things could not have started worse, the Flyers responded nicely and Richards’ shortie was nothing short of epic.

    I would prefer to be tied at 0-0 then 1-1 at this point, but at least we are tied and are not being buried by the Habs.

    The Habs are 1-0 in elimination games when being tied at the 1st intermission. That tie was also a 1-1 tie (Game 6 PIT).

  20. I really can't believe this.

    Please hang on, Flyers. Please hang on. As much as I said going into this thing that I did not think the Flyers had a chance, I have never been prouder to be a fan of this team and am damn proud to say that I have followed them all season.

  33. I kinda hate the Flyers. They're a really dirty team (just hit people, whether it's legal or not), but the Habs are just a soft team with an atrocious power play. Congrats on making it...and to think you were bitching about the shootout that got them here.

    The Blackhawks are probably going to smash the Flyers. I think I'm going to root for the Stanley Cup to be cancelled. Chalk this one up in this most angering sports season for me.

  34. We're doomed.

    Richards took the Prince of Wales Trophy.

  35. They're a really dirty team.

    Trust me, I've followed this team all year. I have complimented them when they deserved compliments. I have criticized them when they deserved to be criticized, if not here, then on Twitter. They may not be perfectly clean on every play. Mistakes are made and heat of the moment stupidity take forefront once in a while, but if there is a truth to be had about this incarnation of this Flyers team, it is this: They are not a dirty team. That's not to say that there have not been mistakes or a player commits an occasional dirty play. That being said, I dare you to find a team this year that has not had a player or players commit a dirty play or 2 this season. If you want to pursue this discussion further, that is your choice, but I will defend my team from that false accusation to its death.

    @ JC: So what? Sidney Crosby touched it last year, and look how that worked out for him.
