A dangerous style of play (coming from way back), but the Flyguys sure know how to do it better than any other team in the league.

I've watched him a lot this season and I feel like he gives up alot of softies. I understand what you are saying about their defensive style, but I haven't been impressed by him at all. He played well after the 1st period last night, they tightened up defensively and made the big saves when needed. The question is, can he do it on a consistent basis?

I am biased as a fan, but I really have a hard time thinking that anyone, except possibly the Pens, can beat the Rangers in a 7 game series this year. They are too tough night in and night out to lose 4 out of 7.
That said I am hoping for a final 4 of Chicago, Detroit, Rangers and Boston. I like the original 6 teams getting after it.

Obviously I'm a big Rangers fan and the whole key to them is whether they can score. It's been anemic all season (including the PP which has been awful), they need Lundqvist to play back to his mid-season form. If they can acomplish that they could go very far in the playoffs. That being said the Pens are probably the best team top to bottom in the East if not the entire league.

i thought the rangers tailed off a bit late; and you never know what torts is going to do/say. for obvious reasons, i hope you're really bad at prognosticating!

I agree, still think they are probably good enough to beat everyone but the Pens, I have never actually said, "Go Flyers" until last night.

yeah, i probably enjoyed seeing the flyers win just a liiiiiittle bit more than if i'd seen yet another pic of sid and co as the winners.
at least game one in their series went to ot-i told my husband i hope they play seven and go to ot in each one.

Let's hope so, for my mental health's case lol.

My friends all call me nuts for thinking this, but I want nothing more for the Flyers to have to face the Rangers. I want them, BADLY. (total opposite of how I feel about my Sixers and the Heat. Hoping someone else knocks them off, but I want EVERY BIT of the Rangers.)
