Bad loss last night for the FlyersThe forwards and the D played their ass off only to be let down by the goaltending
I'm I still worried? NOPE...
Go Flyers...

Goaltending? A problem? For the Flyers? Never! It's like your team's management has had a brain-fart since Hextall left........
Leafs beat the Wild last night 3-0. We're keeping pace and still fighting for a playoff spot. It's a slim hope, but if they keep winning, it's a possibility.
It was 23 year old James Reimer's 3rd shutout of the season and 16th win of his short rookie season (16-7-4). This kid has been amazing, and hopefully he'll continue to shine. He's everything you want in a goalie: he works hard, he has good technique and positioning, and he takes responsibility for any goal he lets in (so, the opposite of Tantrum Rask
). The team wants to win for him, they have confidence in his play, and they seem to play better when he's playing.
Colorado on Thursday and Detroit on Saturday......
@Surely: trade you Rask for Reimer, a 1st and 2nd rounder in 2013, and a 1st rounder in 2014?
I'm sure burke would do it!
No way.....he's your problem now. Isn't it enough that we took Raycroft off your hands for him?
Trade ya both Boucher and Bobrovsky for Thomas in a heartbeatGoaltending? A problem? For the Flyers? Never! It's like your team's management has had a brain-fart since Hextall left........

TML are not making the playoffs this year. Technically it's a possibility but they would need to win 8 straight to finish the season and it's still the leafs so that won't happen. Although Reimer has been great in a small sample size, if he can keep it up I think this is the first time in a long time that the leafs have a decent shot at making the show next year.

First we have to take care of the Pen's tomorrow night and then will deal with your boyz
No Worrys...

What is the bolded part supposed to mean? I guess not much coming from an Oilers fan.
Although it's a slim possibility that we'll make it this year, the possibility still exists.
BTW, looks like the Oil did a little better last year with Quinn as head coach and without Hall........

Fluerry did show up On the other hand the Flyers as a team didn't show upI'm I worried... YES...

Leafs won again last night 4-3. Only 3 points back now.....Except we've played 2 more games than Buffalo and Carolina.
Wow, the Bruins destroyed the Habs last night worse than what Chara did to Pachioretti last week. Way to show up.

Yeah Bobo none of the antics we have come to expect either. We really needed to take that one in regulation but giving 1 is better than taking 1 or none. There is one more. The Flyers have killed the Pens in the Consol this year. Well there was no last year in the Consol lol. Anyway. The Devil tonight. I hate these pricks. We need to stick a fork in them.
Fluerry was a wall again tonight. We can play that game too Devils. 1-0 shoot out win. Lets go Pens.
If someone asked me a week ago who I would not want to play in the playoffs, I would say LA. Now a one week span, their cup dreams went up in flames and their hopes of even making the playoffs haven taken a nose dive-losing their top two scorers-
You really must feel for them
You really must feel for them
Yeah, it's pretty crazy how much can change in a week.
Really unbelievable. I was excited to watch them this post-season.
In other bad news, Marc Savard is having issues with his memory. That's some scary sh**.
Looks like my Leafs are all but done. Another year........
Matt Cooke is a scumbag and should be banned from the league.
Bruins beat the Flyers 2-1 tonight. It was a fun game to watch. Bruins clinched a playoff spot with the win.
I really wish someone would do a really serious study on concussions-and I am not just talking about our sport-I think all major sports leagues should launch an investigation into the long term effects. We can regulate our leagues till the end of time, but we must know how to care for the victims-we can't have more Marc Savards or god forbid Dave Duerson-
@Surely-whats your feeling on leafs trading up-do they have anything that could net them a 1st rounder?
EDIT-

Ken Dryden is talking
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the last time he talked about improving player safety and violence-he got nearly all minor and major junior hockey leagues in Canada, along with Hockey Canada to address the issue.
Maybe its time to it again??

Tits. The Pens can tie for conference leader tonight. Then Sid comes back... History.
We already have two late-round first rounders, but it is possible that Burke will try to trade up to a higher pick. If anyone can do it, Burke can. I doubt that any of our current roster players would be enough to land a higher first rounder. The only position we seem to have an abundance of is goaltending. We have a couple of prospects on the Marlies that other teams might find interesting. We also have a good amount of cap space, and if there is a solid center available on July 1, Burke will go after him.
Ken Dryden is sooooooooooooooo boring. But I can agree with some of the stuff he's saying, and if he can help to make things a little safer, good on him. However, please keep in mind that his current gig is as a federal politician......he's an MP, which is like a senator in the US.
Burke's comments weren't given the proper context. Where it says: "We want that hit in our game.", it doesn't say what hit he's referring to. The article is making it seem like he wants to keep hits to the head in the game. Here's the full quote:
That quote makes a lot more sense in context and I think that many people here agree with that based on the discussion.
Glad to see the B's clinch last night. Looking forward to that charge for the playoff tix on my credit card today. Surprised I haven't seen it yet!
Blackhawks tomorrow - should be interesting given the pileup to get in in the west. Anyone going?
Don't count on Crosby. He'll be half the player he was earlier this year until probably the beginning of next season. It took Bergeron 3 years to fully recover from his concussion and get his play back to where it was before.
