(5) Philadelphia Flyers vs (4) Pittsburgh Penguins Round 1: There will be blood

[awaz]

oy here we go again w/ the media.. leighton was called up to be the emergency 3rd tender as part of the 'black aces' which is a group of phantoms that come up with the flyers after the phantoms are habitually eliminated from playoff contention

bryz is probably resting his sore foot, took a light practice.. might as well give reps to leighton

there is 0 chance leighton sees any action unless one of the flyers goalies goes down with an injury.

bobsky will get at least 2 starts to show his mettle if bryz cant go.. throwing a guy in to the fire of a 5-3 game with 0 defense being played and expecting him to succeed is a fools errand.. they wont judge him off that

Makes for good news, lol.

it shows that the media goes to no lengths to get a rise and a story. we as the fans are sheep to it.

outscoring every other series and also out-penalizing

PHI/PIT series has had 282PIM. CHI/PHX+WSH/BOS+NJ/FLA series combined have 183PIM

I see the Flyers have Syvret and Bartulis on re-entry waivers ... some other team gonna fuck with them?

I would not mind if someone grabbed Syvret. Bartulis isn't real bad. Sad that they are going to depend on players that aren't real bad.

Practice? Who needs practice (other than the goalies and dmen)?

 

[awaz]

wtf.. the flyers dont have syvret anymore how are they putting him through waivers?

saw the bartulis one, i hope he clears.. IMO he's better than gustaffson, bourdon, and manning

Ahem.

 

[quoipourquoi]

They should really just keep playing Bryzgalov as long as he's not hurt too much. There's too high of an upside in him (second half of the season, yo), and it's relatively low risk that they'll lose this series with him in net.

The last game is going to awaken the bear in him - not the goat.

 

[elocomotive]

Ahem.

LMAO! I thought I'd just go with the trend.

 

[Dacks]

I didn't think anything Rinaldo did merited a suspension. Suspensions only seem to come with plays that did / could have caused injury. Rinaldo was thugging it up, but wasn't especially violent IMO.

But yeah, I agree, nitpicking every incident after every game is getting old. If it's not on a Torres level, not worth talking about.

The Bears got him.
