Did anyone notice on Yahoo this gem from Kimmo Timo:
I’m surprised the guy hitting us is Savard. As far as I know he missed two months with a concussion. I thought he learned from that. I guess he didn’t. I’m sure the first chance to hit him in Game 6, we will.
So for you Boston fans, this is your head’s up. Yes we will be trying to run Savard tonight. It’s gonna be a hell of a game, although a complete blow out again by Philly wouldn’t be a problem either.

Because you make utterly idiotic statements on here and provide absolutely no logic whatsoever to back them up.
You provide absolutely no content to our discussion of hockey at all. You display an almost blinding ignorance of hockey knowledge.
You have absolutely no concept of humor and sarcasm – you seriously just thought that someone was assembling a WSD (a Weapon of Savard Destruction) and was going to launch it at tonights game.
To sum up, you posting is like reading the second act of Flowers for Algernon….it just keeps getting more and more retarded.

I’ll be there with a simple sling and some stones, but I think I could probably knock him out with that from 124…heck, it worked on Goliath, and Savard is certainly no Goliath. Plus, it’ll be easier to get through security than Travis’s ASM’s.

YES! Destroy Savard and Begin, and win again 4-0. Man that’d be a dream game to watch. I don’t like to see other players hurt but I’ve had enough of Begin and Savard.

If Savard is on the ice, he is fair game for physical play. And if he wants to cross check our captain in the face, chances are, he will see some hits tonight.

I dont think there is a player on the flyers who would be that vicious. Yeah theyre physical, they want to punish people for being off guard on the ice, but to recklessly rush at someone like that with a clear intent to injure there is no chance.

The Flyers are without a doubt in his Savard’s head, just as they were in Kovalchuk’s in the Devils series.
If the Flyers were not getting to Savard, he would not have exploded on Richards. That was not a response to one questionable hit, that was a response to a series worth of teasing around and getting in Savard’s head, a place where the Flyers want to be.

I agree with this. It is obviously bothering him.

With the Way Nodl is playing right now, does anybody else think he makes this team better than Powe would have? Or even dare I say it, Lappy? I know we all love Lappy, but I think Nodl is playing better now than Laperriere would have. Granted if Nodl could have just replaced Powe…
Formerly... "You don't have to be sweet, to be good"
Nodl wasn’t scoring in his opportunities in the NHL, and he was drafted as a scorer. There was also a coaching change, so I’m not sure what Laviolette thought of him, or how much he even knew of him when he got here. Nodl has worked pretty hard at his defensive game, to get more shots at the NHL level, and it has shown in these playoofs. However, I don’t think you can say he’d be better or worse than anyone until he gets more of a consistent role on the team on a longer stint with the big club. I would rather see him here than Powe, but that’s just me.
Zombie Geoff is at it again!
Geoff has clearly infiltrated the Flyers’ locker room and disguised himself as Simon Gagne.
“We’ve had a really tough year on goalies, but we always find a way to battle through it,”GagneGeoff Detweiler said. “It’s really sad we lost Brian. In the playoffs, he was definitely our best player.”
GagneDetweiler added that, “on the other side, we were kind of lucky. Michael came back and I think he was our best player before he got hurt. . . . In the playoffs, your best player has to be your goalie. If your goalie plays well, your team is going to play with a lot of confidence. You’re not scared to make a mistake [because] you know your goalie is good enough to make the save. Brian was able to do that for us, especially in the first series against Jersey. Without him, I don’t think we winthat seriesanything ever again.”

RE: Bruins blog
I think we’ll see a completely different Bruins squad tonight. They are going to come out fired up and attacking and I have a feeling Leighton’s going to have to make some decent saves in the first ten. If the Flyers can keep it close or score on a counter, the game could be over quickly.

Sorry, but Boston gave 2 or 3 nasty cross checks last game. The most memorable being the Giroux injury after which the whole of the TD garden chanted ‘bullshit’. The evening culminated with Savard giving multiple cross checks to the face of our captain.
No amount of begging from their fans of ‘please don’t hurt our precious player’ is going to deter whatever beating the bruins players may or may not receive. You guys have it coming to you.
yeah yeah
The Bruins have had so much injustice this year they deserve a break.

The season is far from over, but it’s hard to not appriciate what the Bruins have overcome this season. Sometimes good things come to those who wait. Maybe that will be the case for the Bruins. Or maybe their new hope will be shatered. Hopefully the former will come true, but either way, the Bruins have already amazed many. They never said die.
Maybe they don’t teach spelling and grammar in Boston area schools?

what are you like 12? Personally, I’d love to be able to talk about hockey here and not have to wade through 50 posts about how you don’t want the big bad Flyers to beat up your man crush Marc Savard because you love him so much and think he’s so dreamy and how awesome he looks without a shirt on in that poster on your bedroom wall.

I think at this point it’s just best to ignore her, no need to keep this up. I think we have all come to the same conclusions reading her posts on here anyway. If we stop responding to her comments, there is less crap to weed through to get to something a bit more interesting.
You’re probably right, sometimes it’s just too fun to feed the trolls though.
It’s like an internet petting zoo
Oh and I can guess who voted Flyers on the poll

Schedule
I haven’t seen much discussion of this, but if the Flyers should force a game 7 tonight, the schedule is going to seriously favor the winner of the Pens vs. Canadiens series.
If game 7 is Friday night, the 2nd round would probably start Sunday right, giving whichever team wins only a day of rest vs. the Pens/Canadiens getting at least 3 days. Count on Bettman to make sure his handpicked favorite draws a favorable 3rd round start time.

I still love that there is still a possibility that if/when we make it to the next round, we could have home ice advantage! Ha.

absolutely. But let’s assume that Pittsburgh does indeed beat Montreal tonight. If we should complete the historic comeback, we’re going to face a Pittsburgh team in Pittsburgh, fresh off of a 3 day rest. Same goes for the Bruins. That just smacks of unfairness. Although, didn’t we have to play Pittsburgh after several back to backs this year? So I guess this is almost par for the course.

Is it possible to go an entire playoffs without boning the schedule up for a change?
At least there hasn’t been back to back games this year.
It could start Monday. They could start the Western Conference on Sunday.
Not much of an advantage should the Canadiens pull off the upset. They’ve played two seven-game series in a row.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
not so much for Montreal, but it certainly is for Pittsburgh.

Moreso for them, yes.
All things considered, the Pens played roughly the same amount of game time as a 7-game series during their 6-game bout with Ottawa. Game 5 went abput halfway into a 3rd OT, and Game 6 went halfway into the first OT. Still, they got some time off before facing Montreal.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I’m not so concerned about how much time they’ve actually played. I maintain that a 3-4 day layoff after the second round is huge and is definitely going to favor whatever team (Canadiens/Pittsburgh) win tonight.
It’s not enough time for real rust to develop (like potentially happened with our 10 day layoff), but it’s enough time to get rested.

To be honest after the stinkers we put together after our layoff I am not so sure that I wouldn’t mind only having a day off.

This will be the second game this series I get to watch live in its entirety.
Any news on what DirecTV channel it will start on?

good question. I was wondering the same thing, given that VS is joining it “in progress”. I’m hoping center ice is picking up the TSN feed or maybe this means that the NHL network will carry it?

I think it’ll start on the Alternate channel and switch over to regular Versus once the other game is over.

Non DTV subscribers don’t have VS-Alt. I have no idea how DTV got the alternate feed, since they didn’t even have VS until a couple of months ago…. Who knows…
Yeah, Ben asked for the DTV channel though.

Have you been able to get a solid radio feed online that’s on-time with the TV broadcast? I hate when its a minute ahead or behind. Especially if tis ahead, and you hear the play before you see it… just seems unnatural.

Hopefully he doesn’t compare Pronger to a dandelion again tonight. He is definitely a character. I thought that announcers were supposed to be un-bias? I feel like JJ, Jonsey and Bill Clement are fairly unbias and will announce the game with fairness to both teams, at least most of the time. With CSN Philly being a bitch all year and not sharing their broadcasts, I have seen so many homer announcers throughout the course of the year. Its ridiculous, and only gets worse during the playoffs, apparently…
He is definitely a character.
You’d love him if he was a philly homer.

Eh
There’s a line, though (and I can think of a few Philly announcers who cross it…don’t like them as much either). Sure it’s entertaining for a while, but when someone’s flipping out in outrage when they’re empirically wrong (for a neutral, non-hockey example, I suggest checking out Rob Dibble on Washington Nationals broadcasts) it’s just embarassing to watch.
Then again, I never really enjoy when they have a “fan” type commentator in the booth (think Tony Kornheiser or Dennis Miller in MNF), so a guy who calls players on the other team names and think his team craps gold (the general local version of the “fan” commentator) really doesn’t do much for me.
All that said, I have no idea where Edwards fits into that spectrum.
You wouldn’t like him.

The “fan” commentators are completely intolerable. The Habs radio broadcast has one of those doing color commentary. You can’t actually tell what’s happening on the ice because he spends the whole time cheering/shouting over the play-by-play call.

Coatseys a homer. Clement is not he was a color guy when espn had broadcasts with gary throne. Jj may be a little bit of a homer but he knows the sport and always gives credit to the good play of opponents.

Local PBP guys
should have a little bit of homer in them. Not enough where they lose a realistic grip on the game, but a little excitement for big plays on local broadcasts is part of the fun of watching your hometown announcers (something I’ve grown to miss a bit being out of town).
Agreed on the assessments of Coates and Clement, which is why I love having Clement back as a broadcaster.
JJ is a hockey diplomat… the worst homers are jack edwards and fsn pittsburgh’s bob erray. eddie o as well…
Errey is totally in a league of his own in terms of being absolutely atrocious.

Rick Jeannaret? He sounds like someone stabs him whenever the Sabres score a goal.
“Now CONNOLLY out in front the shot they SCOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!!!!!
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Jeannaret (or whatever) is kinda annoying but mostly because he’s not rooting for my team.

Kind of like Jeannaret because his voice sounds to me like somebody’s kindly old grandfather, like in a few years we’ll have to visit him in the old folks home and he’ll pinch your cheeks and not remember your name anymore.
