If I have a choice, I'll take " 'Philly Goes Home In Four' for 100 Alex".

On the other hand, with two more losses Philly will have the Bruins right where they want them. Again.

I don't think they want to try that again but I'm willing to risk it going to 3-0 if they do.

not with the goalkeeping Philly has.

Don Cherry tore a strip off Brad Ference last night. Even he thinks was a dirty hit targeted at the head.

How about them Preds?
Just getting use to watching their style.
It appears that the Canucks are all over them, but that goalie keeps the Preds in contention.
Pretty good game last night although I did have a nap during the first overtime.

All Canucks in OT. But all Preds in the third. This isn't over by a long shot.

The Preds are good. Anyone in BC thinking the Canucks got off easy by missing the Red Wings and Sharks has to reconsider that logic.

And the Red Wings have not been impressive in their last two games. Today they should have been down by five goals at the end. They took uncharacteristic penalties, had defensive breakdowns, and showed very little offence. They need to step up or book tee-off times.

“Alex, I’ll take… Its not over till the fat lady sings for $1000 please”

Alex… “the answer is…… did losing game 1 in a seven game series stop the Flyers last round or last year vs. Boston”

Trader220... “A resounding NO, Flyers in 7”

The Bolts look good too

Detroit looked like they were sleep walking.

I know! I was a little worried about them after being down 3-1 to the Pens, but they've been doing good the past 5 games.

I hope they stay on a roll. Ovechkin still scares me a bit, just knowing what he's capable of.

Tampa is looking like a real contender. The Canucks will take theirs in 6 or 7. The Wings won't make it past this round. The Flyers will play well but their goalkeeping will be their demise.

:eek: Not the way the Sedin sisters are playing.

Tuesday morning headline:
Tim Thomas defeats Philadelphia Flyers. The rest of the Bruin team helps out a little bit.
O.K. maybe not quite that much but, 52 saves! :eek:
Now, who was it that said "It's the goalie stupid?" :D
It was a great game. Momentum shifted several times. There are several new dents to the goal posts on both sides of the ice. van Riemsdyk and Horton are bringing their A game like they are seasoned veterans.

JVR was very impressive and TT was a MONSTER! Sure was a lot of clanging going on.

Thomas was fantastic he was the clear cut only reason the B's won. Briere I am sure would like that one in the last seconds back.

That split second will haunt Briere all summer long.

Tampa is going to the cup finals. I saw them beat my Pens in 7 and now they are on the verge of sweeping the Caps. This team has too much talent for Flyers or Bruins.

It looks like I was wrong on the Canucks. Tampa has too much momentum at this point. That said, it will be a whole new game when the next team comes up for the Eastern finals. That 6' 9" spoked B coming at you can be a real distraction.

I said it earlier in this thread and I'll say it again... Tampa scares me. Stevey Y deserves a lot of credit same with their coach.
