Phightins Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Ilya sets the Flyers shutout minutes streak (and breaks his personal record from the playoffs with the Ducks a few years back). It's pretty amazing how great the rest of the team plays when Bryz plays well. Can't wait to see what happens when Meszaros and van Riemsdyk get back. Hopefully everyone can stay healthy at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Possibly the worst period this team has played all season. I don't get why this happens in every afternoon game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 That stick to Rinaldo's mouth looked like it hurt like crazy. Damn, I hope he's alright from that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Possibly the worst period this team has played all season. I don't get why this happens in every afternoon game. Take this back. The 2nd period today was easily worse.  All is well that ends well, though. It is a weird feeling to win a game thanks to a goalie "stealing" it. Should have been down by 3 or 4 goals by the time the 3rd period began.  Anyway, I was at the game so I can't really comment on a lot of the stuff since I didn't have a good view. Thankfully I still haven't seen a close up of the Rinaldo play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Just saw the replay of the big scrum in the 3rd period. Â Chris Kunitz, you suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Meszaros likely done for the season. Means Kubina has to get back really soon. The Lilja/Gustafsson/Bourdon/Manning combinations need to be off the ice as much as possible. It already seems like Timonen is wearing down from getting used too much. So obviously this isn't good.

Phightins Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Not sure if I have ever seen a player have more of a bipolar season than Bryz is having. Unreal. Â Loving it now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Playoff spot clinched. Penguins lose, Rangers almost lose. Had the potential to be a very productive night, but I will take it regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Infuriating game last night. Outshot them 38-15 and lost. I am pretty sure the Flyers only made 3 glaring mistakes all game, and each one wound up in the net. Just "one of those nights", however in this instance, it is probably going to cost us any chance of home ice in the first round. Hooray for likely being the 3rd best team in the conference and getting rewarded by playing the Penguins in round 1!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 So Bryz has some sort of fracture in his foot. AWESOME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think it's something like a 95% chance we play PIT in round 1. Flyers control their own destiny for home ice, though. It was very nice of the Islanders to help us out this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 More or less locked into a first round match with the Penguins. Which is awesome and terrifying. Knock them out while Boston hopefully takes out Ottawa. Then the Bruins will most likely either play Washington or New Jersey...... Then if the Flyers are in the finals, Bryzgolov can have a meltdown.

EastCoastNiner Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012  I've said it for a while now, especially on the "misc", that the Rangers are not good enough to win the Stanley Cup, and will lose to the Capitals if they play them. Laugh all you want now, but you won't be laughing much in a few weeks if the Rangers have to play the Capitals . A team with a "meh" offense such as the Rangers will struggle in the playoffs. Personally, if there's one team I don't want to play, it's actually the Rangers because they just have the Bruins number, but I don't think they will be able to beat Washington. Call it whatever you want, but I call it the truth.

You're entitled to your opinion if you think Washington will edge out the series. I know you like to make your bold predictions and live/die by them.. but "most likely" is just silly.

You're entitled to your opinion if you think Washington will edge out the series. I know you like to make your bold predictions and live/die by them.. but "most likely" is just silly. I'll make this my last post about the Rangers and Capitals in this thread, as this is meant for the Flyers. The Capitals have had the Rangers number over the years. Yes, this season is different, but they have had their number in recent years, and in the playoffs. No team since the lock-out has won the Stanley Cup without being top 10 in scoring. There's a first time for everything, but I just don't trust the Rangers offense to be consistent enough. Maybe you believe they will be, but I just don't see it when I watch them play. The Rangers are currently 11th in goals (close enough to top 10), but I really don't see the offense there. I don't think it's an outrageous prediction to think their offense will let them down, even against Washington. On that note, Ovechkin has been heating up, and is the all-time leader in gpg in playoff history. I just like this match-up IF the Rangers play the Capitals. If the Rangers draw the Sabres, my opinion will change. However, I just like the Capitals in this particular match-up. If the Rangers were to play the Bruins, I would be pretty nervous as the Rangers seem to play them ever well. However, I just think the Capitals would take out the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 The Capitals have had the Rangers number over the years. Yes, this season is different, but they have had their number in recent years, and in the playoffs.Yeah, the 1 seed Caps had the 8 seed Rangers' number last year (Rangers got 1 win and blew 2 OT games).. and the 2 seed Caps had the 7 seed Rangers' number in '08/'09 (when they went 7 games). As you've acknowledged, though, this isn't the same team.. there is no Scott Gomez, Chris Drury, Wade Redden, Michael Roszival, etc etc etc etc. No team since the lock-out has won the Stanley Cup without being top 10 in scoring. There's a first time for everything, but I just don't trust the Rangers offense to be consistent enough. Maybe you believe they will be, but I just don't see it when I watch them play. The Rangers are currently 11th in goals (close enough to top 10), but I really don't see the offense there.I'm not saying that the Rangers are winning the cup. I won't make a foolhardy statement like that. Winning the cup and escaping the 8 seed Capitals aren't the same. I respect your opinion if you think the Caps would edge a series. But saying it's a 'most likely' scenario with an 8 toppling a 1 in the 1st round is something I can't agree with, not when the Capitals have been inferior in every aspect this year. Sorry for getting OT Chris! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
