[Brodeur]

Parise dives and gets the Devils a 2 man advantage which they score on.

Simmonds avoids a big hit from Boulton which draws a crowd and a penalty on Boulton....id say boulton vs shelley or Sestito is a lock....

End of the period after the refs gave the Devils another goal on a blatant missed call, Simmonds and Hartnell are pissed and going after Volchenkov and Zubrus.

0.4

lol flyers really got smacked around today!

I thought it was a nice gesture from the Devils to spot Philly 4 goals in the 3rd. :)

Yeah,from the douches in the black and white striped shirts who
were horrible and dictated the flow of the game from the outset.
Everyone in the Devils lineup besides Kovy had their gloves cemented on.

As Lavy would say, this game lacked jam.

2yt4u, your logo needs more wrist. they are soft.

I'm sure the Flyers were offering fights left and right and the Devils were too scared to drop them. It's not like they were up 6-0 or anything....:scared:
