titanium2 867 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 Hey wait a second, how many teams lost a Game 7 at home in these playoffs so far? Warshington, Pittburgh, Pheonix, Boastin... Anyone else? Seems like home ice can be a disadvantage because teams tend to focus better on the road and have less distractions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 Kind of sucks the Wings couldn't be the ones to pull that off... Yes it does. At the same time, I'm a little happy that they have the time off and can get better workouts and whatnot to prepare for next year. I couldn't bear to watch them towards the end of last year's run and this whole year. Too many guys just look so worn down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Storm 38 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 The Flyers what a comeback, took them high in my pool not as high as the Wings of course. They got a lot of grit and determination. I guess Montreal can't play the underdog card no longer. Go Leino Go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 Kind of sucks the Wings couldn't be the ones to pull that off... Remember what Babcock said in post game after we went down 3-0. He said something like, "Coming back from 3-0 only happens once every 30 or so years, guess it's our turn." He was kinda right but unfortunately, it wasn't us. Even people thought if anyone could, it'd be the Wings ... no one saw this coming but hey, congratulations Flyers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therock48880 14 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 There's a part of me that's sad that Philly doesn't get to beat on Crosby and Pens for seven games in a row. Although, I'm still thrilled that the Pens lost. I think Philly is becoming my favorite team from the east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 Just finally watched the replay of this on NHL network... Ville Leino looks like he has really found his niche in the league. Was strong on the power play, even strength just looked like he belonged. Good for Philly and the comeback. Worst of all the chokes in the history of 3-0. Amazing what that arena sounded like after that 4th goal. None of the Lets Go Bruins none of the TUUK! chants when he makes a simple save. Unreal.. Habs in 6 tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 Who the hell did we get in return for Leino? Would he have helped us out with one or two goals here and there and maybe change the outcome of our series with SJ? Is Kenny kicking himself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would he have helped us out with one or two goals here and there and maybe change the outcome of our series with SJ? Is Kenny kicking himself? Dman named Tollefsen.. Not sure what chances he has at making the roster. Doesn't seem likely from what I have been reading. And in regards to Ville its simply a matter of confidence which in Detroit he didn't have much. Although I do recall a little goal scoring streak he went on when we first called him up. He just never really panned out, but would have loved to have plugged him to see what he could have done. So in short, he has the perfect situation now in Philly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although, I'm still thrilled that the Pens lost. I think Philly is becoming my favorite team from the east. I'm definitely with you on that, they've shown a lot of moxie at the end of the season considering all the goaltending problems plaguing them all year. Now in the playoffs a guy like Boucher who was relegated to third string leads them at the end of the year into the playoffs helps beat the Devils ; gets injured in game 6 with Boston in the midst of a shutout; Leighton relieves just back from an injury incurred during the season completes the shutout ; and he helps them win a phenomenal comeback game seven. Plus they got Leino playing some gritty hockey what's there not to like. Go Flyers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jibbajaba 14 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 Jeez - no one knows the kid or is tearing him down. He just has the poor fortune of being a funny symbol of the Bruins failure. The Bruins make little kids cry. Exactly. I just thought it was funny that they showed a little kid crying on TV after his team lost. IT was just the icing on the cake after that choke job. Almost every one of the players that he's crying over is a millionaire that went home that night in their Range Rover or Porsche to have sex with supermodel-caliber talent. Nothing to cry over. And yes, I say the same thing when the Wings lose. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
