flyers losing more than the bruins are winning

[scottflyers88]

not to downplay what the bruins are doing although the flyers are shooting themselves in the foot. they finally get the lead and respond by putting dumb and dumber out there on defense. they both cover the same person off the draw and leave a bruins player wide open in front of the net. then richards throws and big hit and i have no idea where carle went because he left a bruins player on a breakaway. great job defense.

Certainly losing Carter and Gagne hasn't helped the Flyers, but the Bruins have been the better team thus far.

well look at the game tonight. flyers up 1-0 and krejicek and parent leave a guy open in front of the net for a good 5 seconds. i actually said, who has the guy in front of the net. 2 seconds later he scored. then richards is holding the puck in the offensive zone and the bruins eventually get it. no idea where carle went at all. i could see if it was a rush and got caught or something. he was just sitting in the offensive zone i guess. jersey would have won also if our defense played like this.

NJDEVIL"S long time no see, Been a few years. but you are wrong about the Bruin's being the better team. Any Bruin's fan will tell you this could easily be 2-0 Flyer's. This game has been more Flyer's also.

 

[scottflyers88]

we still need secondary scoring. for once a forward not named richards or briere scored.

The better *team* is up 2-0 in the series. The better team has found ways to win each of the first two.

I wouldn't exactly categorize that as the flyers losing more than the bruins are winning. That's more along the lines of those two d-men just aren't very good and are prone to mistakes like we saw tonight.

 

[scottflyers88]

have the game winners bounce right to your stick?

 

[scottflyers88]

it is not even that they are not good it is that they are not even in position.

I disagree, Boston has played 3 very solid games in this series and is deserving of being up 3-0. I think a lot of the reason Philly is struggling is because of the system they are going up against. Boston has played the Flyers just like you need to in order to beat them.

Not being a Dick but do you think all the Flyer's injuries might have a play in this too? Not dissing the "B"'s , but come on!

 

[scottflyers88]

and the flyers completely outplayed the bruins tonight. maybe not the first 2 games although if the flyers deserved to win a game this postseason it was this one.

 

[scottflyers88]

of course the injuries played a part. not an excuse, just the truth. i am proud of the flyers. no other team in my opinion would even make the postseason without their 2 goalies. let alone winning a playoff round without their leading scorer, best winger, and best penalty killer.

Of course the injuries hurt. I never said otherwise. However Boston has their share of injuries too. Sturm is out. Savard while back still is not at 100% Krejci got hurt tonight and didn't return. The fact of the matter is Boston just knows how to beat Philly.

 

[GagneFire12]

Flyers are a bunch of losers.

 

[scottflyers88]

boston knows how to beat philly? i know how to beat philly without carter, gagne, emery, leighton, and laperierre. seriously the only people left on the flyers who could play were giroux, richards, briere, and pronger. not tough.

 

[GagneFire12]

Blah. Frank the injuries. The Flyers have nearly played Boston even, and are down three games. They need someone to step up and perform in the clutch. Win on Friday and who knows.

I like your style young man!

Notice after the 2nd period Lava separated Krajicek and Parent? I was thinking the same thing too...the biggest chink in the armour is the 3rd defensive pairing on this team...and the Bruins are eating it up.

The other thing is that I NEVER see anyone in front of the net screening Rask. Maybe they're scared of Pronger's shot...after what it did to Carter.

If by "better team" you mean they've fucked up less than the Flyers, then I would agree with you.
