I've smelled this fart before.

Go B's. If you blow it again, they'll move YOUR team to Winnipeg.

Would've been the Caps had the Habs advanced, but yeah, the point stands.

I believe in my team, I really do, but there is not a chance of another comeback here. We have no heart, confidence is shot and Boucher has no consistency.

There are a couple of players, Bobrovsky included (because he's a rookie) that exempt my rage but we haven't been the same team since the All-Star Break. Now I don't know if these are coaching issues directed towards Lavvy or leadership problems from Richards but someone needs to be held accountable for this. It's not on to try and waltz through the last third of the season and turn on this 'switch' everyone keeps talking about when the Playoffs come knocking, because it has not worked. Did you see the Canucks let off. No.

Angry!!

Still one more game left to get hammered and revenge is done from Beantown.

do you think that is far enough away?

the flyers r done!....im kinda wondering what snider thinks about giving homer an extenion?
richards,giroux,carle,cobourn,kimmo have played crappy...but they have played poor as a team
boucher is not all 2 blame..he is a backup at best
i hope that this makes hommer realize they need a goalie

i think they should move lenno,hartnell,nodl,mezeros,o donnell and the biggest bum versteeg

Even a backup goalie should have a SV% higher than .900 and a GAA under 3.00. This is the playoffs. The goals that he has allowed would be inexcusable in a bantam league.

I think it's a little unfair to blame Giroux in this. In my opinion, he's been one of our strongest players.

Boucher is a back-up, but he has conceded some awful chances that even a back-up would save. Terrible!

We need to ride with a new (PROVEN) goalie and Bobrovsky. That would be a nice tandem. I believe Bob is the future though.

Leino is probably going to want around $2-2.5m, but I agree about Versteeg, he needs to go, pronto.

Nodl is liked by the management and I quite like him too. I'd prefer him to stay and at a $1m, he'll do the job.

I'd like Meszaros to stay and Carle to go.

i am just happy to see a power play goal.

maybe it is the beard...

[GrimUSMC]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...the Bruins must LOVE being done with Carey Price. Is there a worse goalie in these playoffs than Boucher?

Listen, I agree we have the worst goalie combo in the playoffs, by far, lol. But you give a guy a 100 mph slap shot from about 15 feet away, chances are its going in. I dont care of you have Ken Dryden in net, its going in. The Flyers strongest element, their D, has betrayed them. Carle has been horrible, and they're forwards (IM LOOKING AT YOU KRIS VERSTEEG) look lost in their own end. They do not deserve to win a single game in the series. Its not goaltending, its the entire team.
