That’s how you give up a lead, as the Flyers have learned a few times this season.

I’ll take more and more hits. Play the same way. If the Bruins can outscore us while getting hit, then good on them and I tip my hat. But I don’t think they can.

I agree. I really don’t think the Flyers can absorb an entire period of the Bruins pressuring us. I think we need to stay aggressive and kill time cycling the puck in their zone. Go at them, don’t sit back and pray Bryz is big when we need him to be.

Does anyone know when the Center Ice package
cost gets reduced? Its about halfway through the season, but the cost is still full price.
I have direct tv, I live out in San Diego
What about the NHL.com package, does anyone know if that gets reduced? I would prefer to get it on directtv so I can dvr it, I don’t get home from work till 5.
it wouldn’t make sense for a business to do this and lose sales, so I’d say yes it gets reduced

My friend Matt is funny...
if he plays at this pace, like the past week or so, Claude Giroux would finish with 600 assists and Hartnell around 120 goals and if he plays like that for the rest of his career he might get close to Gretzkey.

Bruins broadcasters are giving props to the Flyers for outhitting and to Hartnell and the team in general. I know Edwards is a homer but I’d much rather listen to them than some of the other guys, especially those who don’t get excited when the opposing team scores. Listen to Edwards’s call on Gaborik’s goal last night and it was appropriately dramatic. Edwards goes wacko at times but in general I think they’re professional.

It’s always interesting to see people blame Bryz but not hold the defense accountable. For instance, Bryz maybe didn’t have positioning, but Gus also let the Bruin in the crease, and beat him to the crease

But it’s easier to blame the guy in net than to actually think about who was out of position or who had to play who.
Its easier to blame the veteran who has made terrible mistakes all season than the rookie who has performed better than we thought. Bryz is more accountable and should be held to that

The Flyers are without Pronger, JVR, Briere, Jagr, and are playing one of, if not the best team in the NHL. If people were expecting a win today, I honestly don’t know what to tell you. That it’s a close game is borderline miraculous.

Voracek’s play on the first shift of the PP is a good example of the kind of play he provides.
First time he goes in and challenges Chara 1-on-1, a battle most players lose. Chara pokechecks him and Voracek looks bad as the puck leaves the zone. Next trip down he makes a nifty lateral move in traffic just inside the blue line and makes a nice pass to Simmonds for a respectable 45 footer from the center of the ice.
Both plays are prone to turnovers. If you’re partial to Voracek you’re more likely to remember the second. If not, the first.

But in regular season soccer, games end in draws. They only go to PKs when it is win or go home, and it actually does make some sense because unlike hockey which has frequent line changes, you only get three substitutions all game in soccer. Because of that, penalty shootouts in elimination games after 30 minutes of extra time are almost necessary.

Bryz did stop a couple of breakaways / clear chances by the Bruins in the first.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I can at least remember three:
Kelly had a breakaway 10 seconds into the game that didn’t go. (it might have actually gone wide, but I know Bryz cut him off at the post)
Peverley got in on him all alone at one point and was stopped.
Marchand had a SH breakaway that Bryz denied.
Pretty sure there were another one or two that I can’t think of. But yeah. Not a great game for Bryz given that fifth goal and to a lesser extent the third one, but he did make some nice stops.
by everybodyhitswoohoo on Jan 22, 2012 9:49 PM EST up reply actions
The fifth goal was a screw-up for a lot of people and not just Bryz.
The third one he probably should have had, I’ll give you that.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
That third one was interesting. Never mind that it probably shouldn’t have happened because of that interference no-call as the Bruins entered the zone, but I’ve seen similar goals to that one scored this year and people say that the defender (in this case, Timonen) was “screening the goalie”. Which I don’t totally agree with, given that he was all up in the shooter’s face and not the goalie’s, but I can see it.
As for the fifth one, yeah, Bryz has to get to the post quicker, but a lot of guys messed up there.
None of the others were that bad—the first one Simmonds should’ve got to that puck before Bergeron did, the second one Seguin got open about four five feet away from the goal, and the fourth one was quite a nice deflection there. So certainly not a BAD game for Bryz, given a few really nice saves. (That said, I usually jump to Bryz’s defense quicker than most on this website, so that’s just my take.)

Was chatting with one of my friends, said if Bryz didn’t have bad luck, he’d have none at all. The puck came out, and Gus is hitting the into the crease, and his stick goes into the perfect spot to hit the puck right through the 5. If he doesn’t bur him at that exact moment, the puck goes through.

Don and I were chatting at the game. The first goal was more on Bourdon – who lost his man and bailed, allowing him to make a good pass – than Simmonds, who really couldn’t have covered Bergeron any better. Bourdon needed to stay with Marchand and disrupt the pass attempt.

Great effort from the Flyers today. Bryz isn’t playing well, but I think the defense in front of him should deserve just as much if not more blame for his recent struggles. I really liked the play of Schenn. He was all over the place. Love him trucking (legally) the Bruins defender and then getting into fight seconds later. Cannot trade this guy for anyone in the league. He will be special. Of course we said the same thing about JVR after the playoffs last year, and that’s turned out… well… it hasn’t

I tend to visit a lot of SBN hockey blogs – if I am watching a non Canucks game alone I prefer to visit a blog so I can discuss the game (or sometimes get sidetracked with off topic convos lol)
I tried on a couple of occasions to visit the Rangers blog while watching one of their games (I am always polite, never troll, and if I am visiting then I will cheer for the team I am visiting) and not a single person responded to me. You guys did :) you guys/girls were great to a visitor from another teams blog and I appreciate that. So that is just one small way that you are different – I am sure there are more :)
I don’t visit SCoC because well….yeah lol
But until I hear your fans chanting FLOPPER while a player is down on the ice not getting up – you’ll never be as bad as Boston fans in my eyes :)
Go Canucks Go!
Don’t worry about the people of Blueshit Banter not responding. The writers are excellent, but the commenters…yeesh.

lol I don’t :) though it did put me off returning there after the 2 games I tried
but I am a Canadian girl and a Canucks fan – being thick skinned is a requirement lmao ;)
but, there are lots of great SBN blogs out there to visit :) this being one of them :)
Go Canucks Go!
Its always nice to chat with fans from other teams. They can often bring a none colored perspective to things :)

I think they’re a lot like us as well.
And, yeah we’re kind of like the Serbs, commemorating our defeats the way they do the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. Fought the Ottomans to the last man on both sides, but ultimately lost. It’s one of the most important days in their history. It’s like Black Friday and Leon Stickle and Joe Carter and all the rest of it.

Boston. At least New York is a fantastic city. I could easily see myself happily living in Crown Heights or Greenpoint in Brooklyn.
Whereas Boston I just don’t like. It has never sat well with me. Boston and I don’t get along. You couldn’t pay me to live there.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
I have only been to NY and Boston once, so cant really comment to much on that

Boston’s a nice city, but I couldn’t handle the extreme temps. For instance, the fucking winter is brutal.

Too many diagonal streets for my liking. Too many buildings on top of buildings. When I go downtown, I feel claustrophobic. The gruffness that seems charming in Philly fans feels menacing up there. There is a passive-aggressive undertone of nastiness up there. I don’t like it.

I want to complain about the weird streets, but I also think San Francisco is the coolest city ever.

they say when the big one hits that there will be an estimated 6 ft deep of broken glass covering the streets of downtown…fuck that.
…fuck that; completely made me laugh. Thanks.

i have some paintings hanging over the bed as an act of defiance against the Richter Scale gods. But then again I live on a hill of bedrock. I have a good friend in the Marina who I assume will just sink into the bay and get carried out to the Farallons.

if it is any consolation, the big earthquake that will someday hit the BC coast (Vancouver) has the potential to be WAY worse than one in California because it is a subduction zone which are where you get megathrust earthquakes
probably not any consolation though lol
Go Canucks Go!
Somebody was watching Mega Disasters on the History Channel this weekend….

yeah but you do get a more mild summer I believe whereas Chicago, fuck no. It’s hot and sticky and brutally cold in the winter.
As someone living in St. Louis…this.
Winters aren’t THAT bad, but they’re all over the place. Went from about 20 (without windchill) yesterday to about 50 today and it’ll probably go back and forth again during the week. And summers are awful.

I’m going to stay here and vent my football frustrations. Don’t want to take that to the recap.
Simon Gagne AND Mike Richards may move between towns, wear new jerseys and call different arenas home but, at the end of the day, they will both always be Philadelphia Flyers.
One day Sean Couturier will win the Conn Smythe. You heard it here first.

Understood. All I have to say to my friends who are Pats/NYG fans is “I hate reruns. Yawn.”

Haha. The annoying thing is for every snarky/angry/disgusted comment I make to the people I know who are Giants fans, all I get back is “Superbowl” and you can’t even respond to that…

lol that is as bad as when we (Canucks fans and fans of any team that haven’t won it all) get the “Stanley Cup” comment :P
Go Canucks Go!
I kinda like the Canucks, but mainly because I love good offense and because Jannik Hansen plays for em (Im a Dane aswell, if my name didnt reveal that) :)
by Anders Jensen on Jan 23, 2012 12:43 AM EST up reply actions
awww we love Beaker! (Hansen)
he’s looked really great this year and has stepped up his game :) We also have another Dane in the system in Nicklas Jensen
Go Canucks Go!
I have heard that, he is now on the second line?
Yea, I cant wait to see him playing for you :)
by Anders Jensen on Jan 23, 2012 1:04 AM EST up reply actions
lol have you ever heard a Hansen interview? and seen The Muppets? He kinda has a high squeaky voice not unlike Beaker of The Muppets lol. There is actually is a funny interview with Corey Schneider where he is asked to do his Jannik Hansen impersonation :)
we also call him Honey Badger, Great Dane and Jank :)
we have a lot of nicknames for most of our players lol
Go Canucks Go!
Haha okay. Yea we have several nicknames for our players aswell :)
