did anyone else notice all four advancing teams in the west have stellar goaltending.. and that two years ago if someone said those 4 teams would be in the second round you would be laughed at..

I was just thinking about that the other day how crazy it seems to have Vancouver, San Jose, Detroit, and Chicago all go out in the first round.

I like it, its a nice change to see these new teams advance

Really awful to hear about the racist tweets and what not that ensued after Ward won that game.

Honestly if you can't get excited about hockey from the last 10 or so minutes of this Rangers/Sens game, you might be dead inside.

And if you're not watching, you suck.

 

[snipezo]

Good effort by the Sens.

 

[The Guid]

more OT!

 

[The Guid]

Make it a double

 

[The Guid]

Henrique ends it. Devils win.

Sad for Florida, as a whole, but FUCK Jose Theodore lol

 

[Gtown81]

Rangers advancin, now they don't have to deal with Maclean's defensive schemes

I'd be scared to see Philly with a healthy Pronger and a good goalie.

 

[VC15]

Flyers fans booing their team off the ice. Hopefully, we see more of that after the next two periods.

One goal was never going to be enough to beat the Flyers.

Giroux absolutely ripped that. Flyers up 3-2 now with 15 left.

 

[snipezo]

Despite having an inconsistent goalie, I think Flyers have a good shot at winning it all.

 

[Maxy]

Great game today. Giroux showing why he was a steal at 22. I loooooove the Flyers this season, so young yet completely gritty, a completely different image than the Mike Richards/Jeff Carter team of the past!

I'm honestly scared to see them when Schenn, Couturier, Wellwood all hit their prime!

 

[The Guid]

Kevin Klein's pass on Kostitsyn's goal to tie it at 1 was a beauty

And, damn, Giroux is such a beast.

The Devils need to stop facking panicking in their own zone...especially in clutch situations. Rather than try and control the puck around the net, they just continuously tried to clear it and sling it down the ice. That method of playing defense bit us in the ass and is why the Flyers hold a 1-0 lead in the series.

The positive is as bad as I think we played, the game still went into OT. Bryzgalov is way too inconsistent for the Flyers to win shit.

not until they meet the Rangers, although they'll probably finish off the devils sooner or later

 

[snickers95]

Radulov and Kostitsyn aren't playing? I don't like that, Radulov seems to have no sense at all. Just because he doesn't want to be there doesn't mean he should be a dumbass.

 

[VC15]

The only thing the Devils did wrong in the second period was not score, they need to keep attacking.

 

[A.E]

I would've never guessed we would comeback to drudge the Flyers, on the road, and without Kovy on the ice. Larsson made a big statement by playing a great game and scoring tonight, this after he was a healthy scratch during the Florida series.

After playing a scared game 1, the Devils came back to pwn game 2 and I feel stoked about this series heading to Jersey.
