gl jml, hate seeing that caps price dropping. Hope they can pull it out and the line movement means nothing.

Hey JML was wondering what you thought about possibly playing Washington to win the series at +265...Pretty good price IMO...They were finally able to put the puck in the net against NY and should be fairly confident heading in to game 4...Have a feeling Ovechkin works some magic in game 4...Comment

JML-
to answer your question...because i've just had enough. I've had enough of getting up to work 2 hours early so i can watch a Flyers game at 4PM only to have them be then ones who didn't show up. I mean game after game after important game. Last year i believe it was they had a chance at home to win the division and were down like 4-1 to the Devils before the thing even got going. Efforts like they had versus Toronto in the last week of the season. They have become all to familiar. 15 of the 16 teams got the memo that the playoffs started this week......surprise surprise...PHI was the one who came out flat. I'm just sick of it. And then the trades. They trade a great locker room guy and a hard worker for a complete thug who is just an overall waste of space as a hockey player in Carcillo. I mean don't the flyers have enough bone heads already without another one? they should be named the Philadelphia Lip Services because they always say all the right things and then do all the wrong ones...."yeah, you know we need to stay out of the penalty box"...so what do they do in game1...take 400 penalties...:thumbs:...it's like a broken record with this team....one that lacks veteran leadership and one that needs somebody to say enough is enough of the not showing up for whole games and not playing 60 minutes of hockey but every week or 2. Read the PHI area papers...they all say the same thing....people are tired of getting 1/2 ass efforts from this group and that being more the norm than not.
Sure i like guys like Carter, Richards, Gagne.......but this group as a collective whole i think is lazy as ****. Even in games like the TOR game in the last week when they went up 3-0...they still couldn't play a complete game and had to hang on for an 8-5 win. They get up on PIT 2-0 and then fall asleep and start taking dumb penalties and next thing you know it's 2-2. This team needs to get the freeking bobby clark stamp off of this team. I can't stand that guy. They need to find some guys who are willing to go into the corner like Primeau did for what 900 periods of OT versus PIT a few years ago and pay the price.
Just sick of it, that's all. Been going on for too long. Culture needs to change in PHI. They are incapable of playing good hockey for 60 minutes or over an stretch of time. Last year's playoff run had a lot to do with who theyplayed too. They played a WAS team that was making its first appearence in eons and was just happy to be there. Then they beat a MON team that got horrible goaltending. Then they flat out got destroyed by PIT in the finals.
PHI will lose this series in probably 5 games, IMO and will lose tonight. They will forget why/how they won game3 and think that just putting on the orange jersey and saying 1974 and 1975 will get them a win. PIT will be good again tonight and regroup for the W. Wrapping it up in game5. Golf course city for PHI. :thumbs:Last edited by FlyersFan; 04-21-2009, 01:25 PM.I am the M'bah a'Flyers Fan !Comment

I think Philly holds at home. Pens in 7...Comment

Fair enough FF. Just coming from my angle, and as a Leafs fan, I guess I just meant I would be happy as a pig in **** if my team was 4th overall in the regular season, were battling in the playoffs right now, and was stocked with young stars for the future. You usually sound like your are following the Clippers or something. lol.Comment

Tuesday Game 3s:
BlueJackets +137 vs Wings
Headscratcher of a line...should be a pick'em in reality, but I realize people have Detroit unstoppable right now after the 1st two games...BUT, CBus is a home team, played their best hockey there all year, and will be pumped tonight. They beat DET 2 of 3 during the regular season at home this year. They will not get swept, winning tonight or tomorrow. I like tonight. Maybe my favourite play of the postseason so far.

you know if PHI put forth a STL like effort they would win the cup. and that is my problem with that team. I hear you, though. And my bitch is not that they aren't winning, it's that i keep seeing the same crap year after year. I can always live with a team that plays hard and competes. I can't stand teams that have a sense of entitlement or are lazy/stupid. I mean how can you be Mike Knuble and this team and make a comment after game 1 like "yeah, we didn't come to play...we forgot what playoff intensity is like"...:dunno:
oh well. enough of that...lol...
GL!...can't wait for the SAN/ANA game tonight. hate both teams but love watching those teams beat on each other.....:thumbs: ....i am on CBJ tooI am the M'bah a'Flyers Fan !Comment

Only seen a couple periods of that Ana/SJ series, but it was good what I saw. Everyone's real down on SJ, but they outshot the hell out of ANA last game, and Hiller held. Going to try and check out that game tonight...looking at backing SJ. Probably going to watch the Pennsl series, then that Cali series tonight...
Actually...been alot of intensity in most of the series so far...I've enjoyed this round...Comment
-
Went ahead and backed SJ... in Game 3 tonight...
Sharks -136 vs Ducks
Everyone, everywhere down on the Sharks...and for good reason, they lost both at home, and everyone remembers their history of playoff success...lol, but from the little I've seen of this series, they were the better team, and they could have easily won either of those games. They almost had double the shots in BOTH of those home losses. Interesting that Anaheim seems to have the edge in goaltending so far. We'll see tonight...

Not sure how I missed this one...Game 4:
Blues +115 vs Canucks
Anti-sweep play...Blues have been in this series, and could easily be up 2-1....they will be desperate tonight to win a game at home, and ALSO Vancouver could be a litle bit complacent, knowing they are up 3-0, and going home for game 5. Breaks down to a desperate team at home (dogged no less!) against a team with safe feelings playing on the road, and looking ahead to a home game. Good value for those reasons. I have Vancouver winning the West, but I think they lose tonight!
