with a slight chance of lebda

Who's giving all these a minus 1? Probs a Hawks fan. GOALLLLLL FLYERS!!! :siren:

I'm 93% sure that on 58% of days that's Eva Unit Zero's job.

i'd say there's about a 99% chance of that happening

WOOOHOOOO GO FLYERS!!!!

We have a crapologist named Lebda. Maybe Yzerman should take him too.

I'd rather trade Boston for their number 15 pick to ensure we get McIlrath.

I don't expect a sweep, so tonight very well could be the Flyers' night to win. Eager keeps the game puck.

I actually don't hate Crosby, unlike a lot of people here. In most of the bashing threads, I'm usually painted as a slappy because I don't contribute to the blind hate. And I never said he consciously decided not to. Way back when it happened, I was pointing out to people that Chelios intentionally skipped the handshake line when the Wings lost to the Ducks in the conference finals, but he got a free pass for it. My point was that Crosby has these string of missteps that sort of contribute to his aura of douchiness. He's a great player and most of the hatred he gets is completely unfounded. But he comes off as just a little ***** sometimes, which makes him pretty easy to hate. Ovechkin has a much greater track record of questionable incidents, on and off the ice, but gets cut a lot more slack because of his personality. In the list of irritations, Crosby not shaking hands ranks pretty low. It's just a small sign of his immaturity that he didn't even think to shake hands, no matter who was interviewing him. I understand why they did it, but honestly I think Crosby was given the C while he was too young.

This!! I've been saying this also. Market the Americans since most of the market is in America!

Cheapshots? Are we talking about the same player? When I think of cheapshots I think of Ovechkin putting a player into the boards from behind, or kneeing other players. You know actually plays that could end careers? Crosby isn't an angel on the ice, but hockey is a physical and emotional game I'd be worried if a player didn't show any emotion. I hate the diving, but it's up to the NHL to enforce it not the players. Hockey is a competitive game and you have to use every advantage you can. Don't act like Crosby is the pioneer of embellishing. Getzlaf and Ryan are not in the same class as Crosby/Ovechkin are. As a league you have to market your very BEST players. I don't even really care about marketing, I just like watching hockey and watching Ovechkin/Crosby play is quite a treat and I'm happy to leave it at that. Marketing is about attracting new fans, not to satisfy existing fans that's what the game itself is for.

Well played sir. I Almqvist thought this game was over.

He's fought sometime in the last ten years, so probably not.

Holland and Babcock messed up with Leino. He could have been great here. Philly put some weight on him and gave him a chance, and all we have to show for it is Ole and a 5th round pick. Let's hope we get something out of the pick at least.

Here's the Link Wow.

This is why it doesn't matter who wins this series. They're all just a bunch of losers

I just realized that Pronger has gone to the Finals in his first season with Edmonton, Anaheim and Philly. Maybe we should trade Rafalski and a pick.....

C'mon Armando!

I'd take Asham over Nystrom. Unless you're talking about Bob Nystrom.

So . . . because Pronger spit on the indian head, we supposed to feel sympathy for the same fanbase that screams "Detroit Sucks" during the start of every home game? Color me unimpressed by your rationalizing. Pronger might be a jackass but he wasn't the only one in the building that night (ahem, Kane and Buff).

It's the media's fault that Crosby didn't notice or think of the handshake ritual that happens after every series ending game?? Every captain or star player is mobbed after the Cup winning game. Its not exactly a new phenomenon. And how exactly do you not notice 40 guys lining up at center ice?

I'll concur with that. My wife doesn't follow hockey but even she hates Crosby.

Brett Favre didn't do commercials? Or Urlacher? Or Reggie Bush? I agree Peyton may have the most, but it's not like Crosby and the NHL. esteef

I would have to agree with you there. Why does it have to be one player? I mean I identify with the Wings, etc.

I think this says more about the fans in Montreal than anything else.
