#2 New Jersey Devils vs. #7 Philadelphia Flyers: Game 1 on Wednesday, Full Schedule Here

Brian Boucher is back, though. He never had his opportunity for some revenge.

no he really isn’t i guess you’ve never heard of players like parise kovalchuck, and elias. Or aware there was an NHL season last year and without Brodeur the devils were still among the top 3 teams of the conference. If anything Marty blew it for the devils last year by coming back.(not to knock him down, but clemmenson had great chemistry with the team. This should be quite the series though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it went to 7 games.

The problem is that Edmonton had the 8th best PK unit in the league that year, and their D allowed the fewest shots against per game.

They also had 47 games started by Jussi Markannen and Michael Morrison. Then they got Dwayne Roloson, and he turned a good defensive team into a great one.

Not parallel, but a pretty major difference. Sorry to rain on your parade.

So are the rest of us who couldn’t go gonna get some feedback from the game?

This means we’ll have to watch online somewhere. Plus, there’s always 610 WIP at the very least.

TSN is the essentially the Canadian ESPN, except instead of hockey being almost non-existent, hockey is the about the only thing on TSN.

I can’t agree with you there, because I was part of the group that vowed not to boo Parise for the rest of the year after the Olympics; at least not boo him as an individual, anyway. Head hunting seems like it might violate that…

To be fair, there is at least a portion of the fanbase that believes Lindros didn’t really say F-U to the fans, but rather to Clarkie, the trainers, and the front office. Chris’ statement didn’t really say anything about Lindros loyalty anyway; when you look at what happened to the team that day, it’s still a dark day even if you hated Lindros when he was here.

I don’t want to loose our “goon image”. The fact that we are not embracing that image any more is causing us more problems than not. We still don’t get calls and everyone thinks our team is goony even this team is fairly small especially by Flyers standards and doesn’t hit anyone because we are afraid of penalties. Our tough guy is Dan Carcillo at 6ft 200lbs a light middle weight at best. We are dealing with all the negative aspects of being a goon reputation without any of the positives. Intimidation, fear especially on home ice. The brass should stop trying to conform the every changing rules of the NHL and just play hard ass hard hitting Flyers hockey regardless of the consequences.

look at the Cook play from weeks ago, then look at the Richards hit from the beginning of the season, then look at the Stevens hit. Very similar, no. Now im not one to judge a hit as dirty or not, but all three were blindside hits to the head, and in my book, is considered dirty.

Thanks for your ignorance . . .

You are completely delusional. The Flyers organization said F-U to Lindros and then pit him against the lure of its greatest player in order to stem the tide of a contrary image. Then, in the sad physical condition he was in after being abused by the Flyers and their inept training/medical staff, the Flyers fleeced the idiotic Rangers into giving the Flyers 3 players and a draft choice.

i thought my center ice expired after the regular season last year… i hope it covers the playoffs.

it’s absolutely retarded, isn’t it?

I think that only applies to the Joined in progress ones on the west coast, I think the others have to watch the Vs feed locally. Could be wrong, but that’s what I thought.

Guess so, I’ll post a link if you don’t find one before me.

We’re in the same boat. Not a chance of it being on CSNBA or CSNCA with the Sharks and the Kings being in the playoffs. Not to mention that all they care about is baseball and basketball.

I watched the end of that game on rabbit ears, too. I was so wired and couldn’t sleep, even though I had to get up and go to work the next day.

That was a tums popper
