j.hoop 64 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Yea... either the Flyers were lucky to make it as far as the ECF, or the Pens have the east dominated as much as the Wings have been ripping up the west. i think they only had enough to make it as far as they have, no way enough to get to the finals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Philadelphia is playing as if they're too intimidated by the Pens fowards. They aren't sustaining pressure in the offensive zone because forwards are too quick to give up on the situation to get back and be prepared for a defensive run. On an individual level they also look intimidated. The Flyers are fumbling the puck and passing it often to open areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Well, I suppose that makes enough sense. Not the most satisfying answer, but probably the right one. Heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 And yea, they've been flubbing on a lot of passes and absolutely sucked on containment.. like that drop pass with which Prospal just backed up that statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Waiting for someone to take the bait... Also, I'm pretty sure I could have scored 50 goals in the NHL 20 years ago. It looks so easy. Actually if you take today's knowledge on nutrition and training, etc., etc. I can guarantee you that there would be 10+ 50 goal scorers in the league today that could easily score 50 20 years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at Coffey, how easy was it to score form the point back then? I hated that hockey. There were so many stoppages. A period used to take like 45 minutes. Totally ***.

SeeingRed 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 ooof. you can tell philly's really hurting on defense. sloppy sloppy sloppy. Didn't even turn around until halfway into the zone! Oh well, let the pitts kids get cocky coming in to face a real team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This Is Bida 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Egh! I'm your typical hockey fan who hates basketball. Such a boring sport. The exact opposite of hockey! Anyways, that hit by Downie honestly pisses me off. He charges after Sykora and drills him LONG after Sykora gets rid of the puck. What a pathetic hit. Someone needs to lay that guy the f**k out. Its guys like him that don't belong in the NHL. (Sorry, just never liked that guy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
