There isn't much to say about tonight's game that hasn't been said already. The Flyers need a turn around, now. Play like they played on Wednesday night and heads are gonna roll. There needs to be a solid, 60-minute, 120% effort tonight from everybody.

Period. Kick some Leaf ass.

its not often I say this but Jones has looked good in the early on. he’s had some nice outlet passes and he scored a big goal

by njh3293 on Apr 3, 2009 7:17 PM EDT reply actions  

It’s nice seeing them up 2-0 less than eight minutes into the first

Giroux is something special. Nice to see Briere creating offense also

by pintium02 on Apr 3, 2009 7:25 PM EDT reply actions  

I think they got the message. 3-0, less than 10 minutes in.

Keep it up, Flyers.

I saw this second fight coming

by pintium02 on Apr 3, 2009 7:44 PM EDT reply actions  

The Leafs are just falling apart.

by pintium02 on Apr 3, 2009 8:13 PM EDT reply actions  

To add icing to this already delicious game—the Devils are losing. To Tampa.

Swing by The Flyer Frequent. You have nothing better to do.

LOL, could this game possibly be choked away?

The Flyers better not think the game is over cuz they’re up so much.

by pintium02 on Apr 3, 2009 8:35 PM EDT reply actions  

2 quick goals? What the heck?

Don’t get comfortable, boys.

by doubleh on Apr 3, 2009 8:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Has anyone else noticed that the home team has worn white in both games of this home and home? Weird.

it used to be.

teams wore white at home and their darks on the road.

don’t know why they changed.

6-3. Jesus.

How bad is Richie hurt?

by doubleh on Apr 3, 2009 8:40 PM EDT reply actions  

And the Devils tie it up. Poop.

Still lots of game left—for the Flyers and Devils—fortunately or unfortunately.

by doubleh on Apr 3, 2009 8:45 PM EDT reply actions  

We have to hold on.

If we somehow blow this, we will be done. According to Therien, Stevens was not happy at the end of the second. Let’s see how they respond.

by mikefive on Apr 3, 2009 8:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Can’t imagine why Stevens was unhappy…/sarcasm

by doubleh on Apr 3, 2009 8:57 PM EDT reply actions  

7-3, whew.

Hard to believe that’s Carter’s first hat trick given he’s a 40 goal guy.

What the frack, Marty? Rebounds…

by doubleh on Apr 3, 2009 9:14 PM EDT reply actions  

What the hell is going on?

by pintium02 on Apr 3, 2009 9:16 PM EDT reply actions  

If ever this team could put it all together at once, they might be dangerous. Right now, I can’t figure out who they are.

by doubleh on Apr 3, 2009 9:22 PM EDT reply actions  

Yes, but it took them OT

To beat the Lightning. And they had to score 5 goals to do it—the Devils don’t come by goals easily. They are still in trouble.

I just hope the Flyguys can put together a tighter game tomorrow.

by doubleh on Apr 3, 2009 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes, but...

The Panthers lost in regulation. That means if we win once more, or if the Panthers lose once more, then we clinch a playoff spot. So all is not lost.

It would be nice to get it done tomorrow night against Ottawa, so we can go into our last four games knowing that we’re already in the playoffs.
