Rd. 2 Down Goes NJ!

[FlyersEnforcer]

Not going to go far when you have to put up 4 goals a game, every game, in order to win. Defense is terrible (carle) but Bryz is also letting in way to many easy shots

who comes in for couturier, holmstrom?

it better not be. flyers are lacking in toughness and energy they need rinaldo or sestito

[Corpse]

Hearing we could possibly have Mezaros back for tomorrow. Him remotely healthy will be an upgarde over Gus. Looking like Cooter is going to be out and Rinaldo in, he'll had some energy for sure. We'll miss Cooter but maybe Rinaldo can stir some ****t up and get the boys more in to it from it. Just hope the target he had from the refs in the ****tsburgh series is a little less or he'll end up on the bench after we end up short handed.

Getting Mesz back would be a huge upgrade on D,even if he's
rusty. I'd love to see Sestito in for this series. I like Zac but I think
Sestito can provide more bang and disrupt Marty in the crease.

Only guys that have shown up this series so far in my opinion are JVR, Schenn, and Simmonds. Also, Bryz has played 2 outstanding games and been bailing his defense out in games 2 and 3. We had no business leading for 2/3 of the game in game 2 and had no business going into overtime in game 3.

Matt Carle has been downright atrocious all series long. Terrible. Lilja's outplaying him. Gus looks more like a rookie than Bourdon or Manning have. Mez coming back should help. I'd dress Manning for a game over Lilja as well. But I can't complain on Lilja to be honest, I hate him but he's played well. He's also the only guy other than Simmonds who didn't go for a change in the OT when NJ had the puck at their own blue line in the nuetral zone.

I dont know why gus is getting so much hate i think he actually looks really good out there. Carle has been awful and should sit (even though i know he wont)

We need a spark and a tough guy comming in the lineup is exactly what this team needs

[taylormade4]

I love when Rinaldo is playing more than anybody, but the problem is that he will be handcuffed the entire game. He will get penalties and game misconducts just for legal checks just because he's Rinaldo.

[Creevjam]

Tonight we get to see what this team is made of. Time for us to step up to the plate. IMO, with the rest of the competition, this is our best chance to win the cup. Hartsy and Simmonds need to step the fvck up, Jagr needs to learn to get the puck deep, instead of some slow ass move that just turns the puck over. And the team as a whole needs to HIT, stop playing like *******. I say we win out and take this in 6

I got drunk last night and re-watched the last 2 games on PVR. Something that really stands out to me is the Flyer unwillingness to advance the puck when under pressure. They seem to keep trying eat it against the boards instead of clearing it or flipping it ahead. Especially when NJ dumps it in deep, instead of stepping in to and clearing it hard around they don't do it. I'm not sure if it's because they don't want to expose themselves for the hit or if this is some kind of game plan, either way it isn't working.

u still drunk?

[D Y B FLYERS]

Can't say I expected the series to be 3-1 in favor of the Devils right now. Shocking, honestly. Where did the Flyers go? They didn't show up at all again yesterday, but somehow managed to start with a 2-0 lead in the game only to end up losing it 4-2. The game could have been a lot worse, but you can't expect Bryz to be the only one playing. It seems lately that when Bryz plays well, nobody else does and vice versa. I don't think this series is over just yet, but the Flyers have certainly made it much tougher for them now.

[Gage55]

Just one time I'd like to see the Flyers put in 100% all game. We'd be a terribly hard team to beat if that ever happened.

No Giroux, fantastic!

[2yt4u]

Without G for Game 5 so what would you do??

Hartnell/Briere/Jagr
Voracek/Schenn/Simmonds
Read/Couturier/JVR
Sestito/Talbot/Rinaldo ( Go for it,wtf!)
Take a seat for now Wells.

Timonen/Coby
Grossmann/Gus
Carle/Lilja (Whoever,sick of both of them) Manning inserted maybe?
Hopefully Mesz tries to go??

Bryz.
