The Strangers as I like to refer to them as. What a joke, worst team money can't buy. So how many times are they going to miss the playoffs with Messier, Gretzky, Jagr, Satan, Straka and now Gaborik. They are owned by Cablevision who are in turn owned by the Dolan's. They also own the Indians. People are going to throw them out of town for the Knicks and Rangers.
Most of the Devils faithful didn't want the Flyers. Of all the games I watched this year I didn't see the Devils play the Flyers once but I know the record isn't good and I also know that doesn't mean anything. If the Devils get consistent scoring they will go deep in the playoffs. They actually played better when all the starters were out then since they have been back. I bet they are only .500 since most of the starters got back but the Penguins did basically the same thing. Guess we shall see!
I went down yesterday........ good game..... but..... Flyers should have ended with a better record IMHO than where they were.....then to have it come down to a shoot out.... not a happy "flyers" camper there LOL Nonetheless to the average fan it was a fun exciting game......just should not have had the implications it did, as they should have had a better record..... Boucher played well ( and is our third goalie for the season) .... we all know you do not go far in the playoffs without a good steady goaltender who can also "steal" a game here and there....... so i do not see them going far, but stranger things have happened.........
i was happy to see Devils as our first round as, they have finally played them consistently through out the season, and a Tpke series is always a good one. IMHO it was a draw that wiould give the flyers their best opportunity to get out of the first round........ Reality is i do not see them going further than that.........but who knows....rules change, whistles don't get blown as much in the playoffs......we will be finding out soon enough
