After the win today. We played well despite being a little stupid with the penalties. It amazes me how much more active this board is when we lose. I guess that is because the haters disappear when we win, so it is just the real honest true fans left. I want game 6. Enough with the hard way. We have the better team. If we play like it is win or series over, we will win that game. Just need to play hard and with passion and we'll win game 6. BTW...Mason didn't look so great today. Just have to pressure him with bodies, that is the key.
And I think we need to score a PPG as well in game 6 if we want to win it. 0-15 or something like that. Amazes me that we are getting a lot more penalties called on us than they are. Need to be smarter. Press them and they will take dumb penalties.
I also like how calm AV is. Good presser. Takes it in stride. Doesn't rip anyone, even after that terrible whistle cost us a goal.
I noticed that also. A pleasure to listen to the coach's post game comments without having to cringe after half of them. Loved the rolling the dice gesture av made with his hands after someone asked him how he decided to use miller today.
Let's get it done Tuesday. Flyers know they are somewhat fortunate this series is still going. Buck the trend and finish them in 6. Losing a 12th playoff gm in a row after leading in a series is just unbelievable to me. We're gonna close them out Tuesday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Stralman penalty was the dumbest penalty I have ever seen. One on one with the goal tender, does not score and then interferes with the golie. That is just plain stupid. I am glad he won't be back next year.
Say something positive 2009...I dare you...LOL. We are up 3-2 against a good solid team. The Flyers are not a bad team. They are trying to win also. They have 7 guys who scored 20 + goals. That is a solid team. Give them some credit rather than acting as if we are out there alone on the ice, and how can we only be up 3-2. Say something positive 2009...come on man....
McDonagh needs to start shooting on the PP..too often and predictably he dishes to the wing and ends up in the goalie's chest. Send St. Louis and Nash in front more.
I have a feeling he can't shoot right now even if he wanted to. Dont be surprised to see surgery for him as soon as the playoffs are over. Something is clearly still wrong with him.
Yeah maybe thats partly an issue, i forgot about the injury. Hopefully not they need him to provide that.
The Flyers are NOT a good team. Other than 17 minutes in game 2 and playing game 4 even, we have Dominated this series. Who cares if the Flyers had 7 20 plus goal scorers. This is the playoffs. Completely different animal. And yes, we have taken some dumb penalties but for anyone to say the officiating has not been horrendous, I will happily pay for your next eye exam.
i don't know how the puck anyone on here could say the flyers are playing well, the rangers are their own worse enemy in this series along with the refs, 1 flyer 1, verocek is the only flyer player who is a threat!
Just because we have dominated many parts of this series doesn't mean that the Flyers are not a good team. It doesn't fit the narrative that many people have about being negative about this team. The Rangers have played a good series overall but people would rather complain about them then talk about the positives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
the flyers play pitt well, they have played everybody else as an avg team, the rangers are the better team PERIOD, but they don't have killer instinct! if rangers were a true contender they win this in 4... even burnside doesn't even consider the rangers a sleeper team he believes columbus detroit and minn havin better chance then rangers..... this team can be so predicatble at times its pathetic
People don't realize how hard it is to win in the playoffs. No matter who your opponent is. Look at the west, all the top teams are having long series. People set the bar too high for this team as they are not a true contender for the cup.
The reason they are winning this series is they have a better defensemen and goaltending. The forwards are pretty much evenly matched from top to bottom.
We are better all the way around. If this was a boxing match, we would be in trouble. But you can't hit what you can't catch. We are so much faster it is ridiculous.
amen, im happy as fuck right now rangers won, lets go boys. we can still improve. one day at a time..... 1 more win for round 2. AV is doing awesome job hes better then i thought he was
