For as much shit as we've given this guy during the regular season in the past, he sure as hell rises to the occasion come playoff time, especially against his former team as it may appear.

They showed this stat in the espn recap of the last game. Briere has more playoff points (89) than any other player in the Nhl since 2006. That edges out Zetterberg (86), Crosby (82) and Malkin (73). As we all know, he led everyone in playoff points last season. He has five goals in this particular series and four of them (including one game winner) have directly helped us take our three games. The fifth goal sent game five to overtime.

If you had to bet on anyone being our hero in game seven, you know who the obvious choice is.

And I think we can stop calling him overpaid. Remember that? lol It seems downright silly now. I'd gladly pay a little more for a guy who routinely elevates his game come playoff time. You pay more for free agents anyway, but signing Briere turned out to be a fantastic move in the long run.

yes he does,its the danny and jvr series

Briere is $ in the playoffs.

I was leading the "trade Briere and his ludicrous contract" bandwagon for quite a while.

I take it all back. Please accept my humblest apologies, Mr. Briere.

Not to brag but I called that right from the start his points per game were always good he just kept getting hurt...yes it was frustrating especially hearing it from those pen fans all the time but in reality it wasn't his fault. He's definitely money in the playoffs and worth every penny!

And what I also like is that JVR has looked really Turn-it-on-in-the-playoffsy this year too.

Would be a great playoff duo. One gets off the ice, and the other gets on. Boom

Always liked Briere... Wasn't much in Buffalo, but he always had it. I think he just really enjoys playing in black and orange.

 

[PhillyFate48]

I had Mr. Briere's back since day 1!

Thank you Danny B for making me look good and helping my Club out at the same time!

LETS GO FLYERS!

When he was in Scruffalo......He killed the Flyers!

Then when it came down to Briere,Drury or Gomez.......I knew he would wear that Flyers Crest one day!

 

[flyersfan4706]

I was upset when we didnt get Gomez. Thank God we didnt

Dan Briere is Mr. Clutch. It's unbelievable how well he turns it up in the playoffs.

 

[sportfan09]

HE IS OUR MINI GOD

Just read that he may be back Tuesday. They can use him. He, like some other more experienced players, needs to get it going.

 

[awaz]

ya he's been skating a lot recently.. i hope he does come back.. this is the kind of situation where he's thrived in the past.. this situation being most of the team playing poorly

 

[TOX1]

He's been near invisible in alot of games this year, but when he shines he reeeally shines and this team needs something right now, so I guess I could stomach DB coming back sooner than later.

 

[lasgop8]

We need him back i think him being out is effecting Cooter.

 

[TOX1]

I can't believe it has taken this long for the kid (Coots) to show some signs of his age and experience.

I'm not saying he's about to plummet into the toilet and become a shit player, but he has been exposed lately.

He'll be fine though.

yeah hes definitely been showing the signs of late but his turnovers arent nearly as bad as the carle!

and better yet, he only makes 1 a game, whereas we're lucky if carle keeps the count on 1 hand
