Better period for Bryz and the Flyers. They still have a lot of work ahead of them.

I thought Bryz played ok in the 1st too. None of the goals where his fault IMO.

I thought the first 2 could have been saved. Crosby with a floating backhand and then even on the second goal, Kennedy didnt get all that shot. The third was a bit flukey.
Compare the goals vs some of the saves Fleury made, most notably Jagr on the breakaway and Hartnell on the 2 on 1. That's the difference so far, Fleury made big saves early while Bryz did not.

Wow. Flyers look like a totally different team since the first period.

I left DC in 1999, but was a season ticket holder for years - I was thrilled when he came to the Caps - As a kid, he was and still is my favorite player - A good friend was in the front office and got me this as a going away present -

That was a pretty gutty comeback for a team on the road that looked absolutely dead in the first period. Bryzgalov also picked his game big time.

I agree. Good game. If things keep going like Game 1, it will be a fun series to watch.

Wasn't going to watch this one, but didn't have a choice. The Preds were f****** blacked out. I don't know who was more ticked off, me or my daughter.....

I know it does you no good now, but the Preds game was on CNBC last night. I think every 1st round game will be covered on either NBC Sports Network, CNBC or NHL Network.

I know. I had it on CNBC @ 7:00. Screen went blank and got the dreaded "Game not available for viewing" box. It was ugly.

very nice. we moved down here in 94. only things i miss from up there are hockey and steamed blue crabs. got my husband hooked on hockey while we lived up there just glad they came up with nhl center ice, i get that every year. started going when the team started, i was 7.

i have a signed pic of adam oates in my office. gets some funny looks! not many around here who know anything about hockey. my oldest was a dino cicarelli fan back when he was 6-7 years old. still have one of his signed cards.

Zig and Dan - I suspect we attended many of the same games back in the early 90's. I was actually a Caps fan back then (expect when they played the Bruins ). Playoff games at teh old Cap Centre were awesome.

Had the good fortune of sharing a few "pops" with many of the boys during this timeframe. A great bunch of guys. Have this sweater and a D Hunter classic Titan stick.

With all that said. GO Bs!!!

i had so much stuff from back then-my parents moved so who knows where all that memorabilia all ended up. i joined the navy almost straight out of h.s., and that stuff didn't enter my mind then as far as putting it somewhere safe.
i still call the new verizon center the cap center-that's what it's always been.

a lot of memories, so many old players that i still remember. al iafrate's fast time was still the record at the all-star skills contest until two years ago i believe.

That's sad if that's the first (and best) memory that comes to mind.................
