awwww, dats!!!

Finallllllly Flip!

looking good guys!

Arnott is out!!!! I bet its from the dogpile celebration.

listen to the crowd during the game.....its a lot worse.

I know I'm probably gonna get flamed like hell for this by all you Holland lovers but I want to get some honest opinions here. If we lose this series, it will be the 3rd loss in 5 years to a team in the first round. Two of which would be after we finished first in the league. All you Holland lovers argue that, "he gives us a consistently good team every year, he builds a team that lands us a president's trophy, blah blah blah." I say, who gives a s*** if we have a great season just to lose AGAIN in the first round. This year, Holland had PLENTY of cap space and ability to make some good mvoes in the summer......he got Rafalski and.....thats it (unless you count Drake). Uhhh.....what happened the secondary scoring we DESPERATELY need? Holland says he's saving room for the trade deadline. Fair enough. Trade deadline comes......and we get......Stuart? A good acquisition but he still failed to address what we really needed and that was MORE scorers! He had chances to pull the trigger and land us some good guys......and failed. He liked what we "have" and didn't want to "give away the future".....the excuse he so often uses. Well Holland, the future ain't looking too good right now either. I believe Flip has one point so far? I know when we can come back and win this series......but I really think if we don't, Holland is to blame.....especially considering we had some quality chances to make our team a lot better. I've said it ebfore and will say it again....this guy gets way too much praise for what he does.....which is basically very little.

Yes officer.

Is Bettman paying these Philly refs? I mean, from a total neutral standpoint, this game has been completely one sided officiating wise. I mean, its jokingly bad.

another TERRIBLE call by the refs to give the Flyers a PP at the end of the game worst officiating I have ever seen in a game.

best save of the playoffs by Huet!

Are the refs being paid off or what? This has to be one of the worst nights of officiating I have ever seen. First off in the Caps game, we have the refs making the stupidest calls ever like a shot to the shoulder as roughing? And in the mean time two OBVIOUS high sticks to the Caps WITH BLOOD have not been called. Theeeeen, we have a phantom Holmstrom-like interference call on Dallas. WTF??? (Btw, this is the same ref who called icing against the Devils in game 1 even though they were on the PK). NHL HAS to up their recruitment team for refs... Ducks have had it since the first year post-lockout.

means you can watch it on FSN

CAPS WITH THE LEAD!!

oh man, the caps are digging their own graves.

Yea dude, I'm not usually one to take the Ducks' side but that song is like your trademark. Very lame and lack of originality for the Flyers to have the same song. Thats like if the Blue Jackets started playing "hey hey, hockeytown!" after a goal

YEA CAPS!!! SILENCE THOSE GOONS!

Flyers score first. Really bugs me how they just totally ripped the goal song from the Ducks.

Haha, Montreal booed the hell out of the American national anthem. Is it just me, or are crowds getting worse and worse these days?

A lot of people seem to think I'm hitting the panic button after 2 bad games. Thats not it.....I understand that the series is tied and we have a significant chance. The thing is, its not a reassuring tie. This team just hasn't seemed hungry for the cup. If we were playing like say....Calgary has these past 4 games, I'd be totally content with a tie. Calgary has played with crazy intensity throughout.....you can tell they WANT it. The Wings look like a team that is getting payed to play......thats it. This series has a very "Edmonton 05" feel to it. Mind you, I know this can change....and it will have to if we are to have any shot at this cup. As for the GM thing, you either agree or disagree. I, as well as many others, have already made valid points so I will leave it as it is.

stealing that for my sig.

You're not supposed to hang on to assets that aren't contributing for one. The "need" to resign Flip? Why is there a need at all to resign Flip? Why keep around players that don't contribute and frankly, have little potential. My god, some people on this board think Flip, Kop, and Huds are like the next GODS of hockey......we just need to wait for them to come into their own. Get real.

agreed.

THANK YOU, thats exactly what I am saying. He was given the dynasty as a welcome present. The 2002 Wings were pretty much put together by the former GM.......he was given the team.

heh, will it seems pretty unanimous on here. I personally would like to see him canned......thats just me though. He did such an awful job this year with free agency and the trade deadline. IMO at least.

pp over, i have class. hopefully my absence will bring some luck.
