Oh c'om Brz. The net is too humongous big?

[pucktividi 472]

The Devils took a page from the Rangers fore-check text book

Come on Flyers

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Damn, all tied up now.

[SaCkaveli20 275]

How can you people cheer for Philly? Parise is going to UFA, dont worry.

Better safe than sorry.

Apparently this.

[brett 1,029]

flyers are done. no defense at all. sloppy as hell

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

I guess I can't put all the blame on Bryz. They are hanging him out to dry. Brodeur has had hardly any shots on goal.

[Resetti 44]

Is it just me or is Schenn a bit of a diver? Throughout both playoff series for him, I constantly see him falling over when he gets touched. Either he has an inner ear infection throwing his balance off, or he has a high center of gravity.

[brett 1,029]

devils put the strangle hold on. BOO

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Flyers, I'm dissapoint.

[SaCkaveli20 275]

Lol am I the only one here cheering for NJ???

[puckloo39 5,686]

yes, and that include the fans in NJ, aside from right now.

Lol uh oh :S

[Guest irishock]

Looks like it might be NJ vs NY conf. Finals.

If only Avery was still around, lol.

I am too. I just like being able to go see playoff hockey nearby now that I live here. I hope the Devils close them out Tuesday and then I can get tickets for the next round (Please be the Rangers, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be the Rangers)

I'm cheering for the Devils too their fans deserve some nice moments. Kovalchuck has really changed himself under Lemair last year doesn't come off as cocky and even does backchecks?! Shame Avery isn't playing for the Rags anymore Brodeur versus Avery would have a huge potential.Am I the only not surprised by this? The Flyers don't play defense they got lucky against Pittsburgh, because they've played even less and had some atrocious performances from Fleury.

I don't think the Flyers will win the cup but I want them and the Rangers to get to the finals. Now that would be a good series.

[Resetti 44]

I'm rooting for the Devils this series but it doesn't really matter who comes out of the East, I'm pulling for whoever comes out of the West.

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

I can think of one defenceman Philadelphia could use right now.

What's he out with anyway? I've gotta think Pronger on, say, one good leg is still better than no Pronger at this point.

Post-concussion syndrome.

I think the Flyers are all but done

[xtrememachine1 795]

Really surprised by this series. It seemed like the Flyers has this thing going their way in Game 2, then all of a sudden in the 3rd period the Devils like flipped a switch and took over the whole series. Seeing as how the Flyers were so dominant against the Pens, its pretty surprising to see them down this quick.

Penguins' D blows. Devils are built around D. There's the difference, IMO.

Plus, there was (and, I have to imagine, still is, and will continue to be) some mighty bad blood between the Flyers and Pens. And the Flyers wanted to prove something, and saw they could - in a very big, definitive way.

So: D, and motivation. There's the difference, I guess.
