I'm a wizard.

This Flyers defense is awful tonight. Hard not to get scored on when you let the opposition move into your zone and throw a party.

Fochstockings		2012-05-06 08:18:57 PM

Not much the Bryz could do there.

jurzdevil		2012-05-06 08:18:58 PM

i guess i must ignore the announcers more than i thought...my bad

I have to admit this made me chuckle. Gotta love Flyers fans!

would have been funny if it said "Token".

also...

TIED!

First Zidlicky set up the first goal with a sweet saucer pass, now he's on the receiving end on the tying tally.

youngandstupid		2012-05-06 08:19:17 PM

FARK! I think the difference maker this series is that the Devils block more shots and block them effectively.

jurzdevil: RminusQ: jurzdevil: why do they keep saying "special teams"? this isn't handegg.

power play + short-handed = special teams

yeah but in the ~18 years ive been watching hockey i dont think ive heard that term used to describe a pp or pk

It could be called that, but I agree that it's stupid. It's the same players and the same lines. Nothing is special except some are removed.

robsul82		2012-05-06 08:19:21 PM

Put Hartnell in the damn box!

Bubblegum Tate		2012-05-06 08:19:32 PM

well, this is gonna be a crazy one

desertgeek		2012-05-06 08:19:52 PM

Hartnell goes full retard.

desertgeek: Ladies and gentlemen, Bryz being Bryz

I don't know if you can blame him for that. It was a heck of a deflection.

robsul82		2012-05-06 08:20:03 PM

Goalie interference is 75% of their offensive strategy, lol.

yookaloco		2012-05-06 08:20:10 PM

Bad call refs. My devs need every break we can get, but that's a BS call.

brianjohara		2012-05-06 08:20:40 PM

Can't pin that goal on Bryz. That was JVR not hustling on defense.

RminusQ		2012-05-06 08:20:47 PM

I was afraid we were gonna get a really bad "And now the Devils are red hot" pun there.

It was legit, but should have been matching minors

Primitive Screwhead		2012-05-06 08:21:32 PM

When in doubt, blame the Chili Peppers.

robsul82		2012-05-06 08:21:41 PM

2-2 Philadelphia/New Jersey after 20.

NJD with 32 seconds left on a PP.

The Great Gazoo		2012-05-06 08:21:41 PM

Hartnell tried to crosscheck the Devils player and pushed himself backwards into Brodeur. Durr.

paj		2012-05-06 08:21:44 PM

All

after 20 minutes of play.

mephisto6:

Nashville is certainly capable of wthe yotes choked on multiple ocassions in the last minute?

Hey sorry, had to run to the store.
Of course they're capable. I just don't see them taking three straight in this series. I've gone to a few games over the past few years and what strikes me about this team (as opposed to the Gretz-coached teams a few years back) is that they come to play. Every damn day.
They catch a few (arguably better teams) by surprise. Of course this is the playoffs and everyone brings it & so there will be no 1-point Capri Suns for overtime losses.
Hey? The Blackhawks outskated the Coyotes, pure and simple. Too bad they couldn't forecheck for shiat and their goalie was a headcase... else that might have meant something.
This series, i see just some balls out hard-nosed hockey with two solid netminders. Win face-off or two. It's gonna be tough to win three straight in this situation.
Trotz' decision is a whole different discussion.

It's going to be very interesting that is for sure! Can't wait for tomorrow night

Gawdzila		2012-05-06 08:22:06 PM

Wow, can't believe Philly let them back in so easily after owning 2/3rds of the period.

RminusQ		2012-05-06 08:22:33 PM

robsul82: Put Hartnell in the damn box!

He just thought Marty wanted some birthday punches.

GOOD PERIOD, DEVILS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

No lead is safe when the net is so humongous big

I thought he was slow getting over, but yeah; you're right

Smiths		2012-05-06 08:25:04 PM

well at least Philly made it so NJ didn't have to face Pitt!

GO PHILLY!

Mr.Tangent		2012-05-06 08:25:52 PM

I see Don went with grandmas drapes tonight.

That is odd.. The term Special Teams in hockey is about as common as most other hockey terms.. you must think harder.. you've heard it said plenty of times before

GO PHILLY!

With all the annual awards in hockey, there should be one for bouncing the most hated team in the league out of the playoffs. As long as Philly doesn't do anything dispicable, I would still cheer them if they win the series against my team. They've actually become my second favorite team this year.

I think Bruins & Canucks are more hated than the Pens

Cherry said Nashville won't make a comeback now and it's the coachs fault for suspending its players

Mr.Tangent		2012-05-06 08:34:16 PM

I think that was the first time I laught ad one of MacLeans puns in well...ever.

So, Trotz didn't stick his neck out for his players?

Really? I don't think of either the Bruins or Canucks as hated teams. I don't know any other player in the NHL who has Tshirts that display the hate like Crosby does.

YES Klesla on Coyotes suspended 1 game!

paj		2012-05-06 08:37:46 PM

PHX's Klesla suspended one game. Shanaban video

robsul82		2012-05-06 08:38:42 PM

All right, towel, let's take a 3-2 lead quite quickly here.

RminusQ		2012-05-06 08:38:56 PM

I don't understand Nashville.. They go out to get these players with questionable selfish reputations and when they do something selfish they get suspended

Nash knew what they were getting when they got these two

Trotz made a dumb error and I hope his team doesnt pay for it

yookaloco		2012-05-06 08:39:21 PM

I would say Canucks are a close second to the Pens. I loved them until I saw the way they played in last years playoffs. It's not their banner (or whatever symbolizes the team) that's awful, its the flopping and cheapshotting. If they change that, I'd love to root for them.

robsul82		2012-05-06 08:39:52 PM

Beat his ass, Fayne!
