If Brodeur can keep playing the way he has in the last two games and Bryzgalov continues to play like a typical Flyers goalie in the playoffs, the Devils can win in 6 or 7.

Agreed. And Kovy should come of the PK

[nmm90392]

you people need to relax. it was one game. yeah we got out played in the second and third but we kept coming back. we didnt get blown out. for god sakes it went into ot. if we lost in regulation by 2 or 3 goals then theres a reason for consern but we didnt we kept coming back. and we lost in ot. yeah game one was a lose but it wasnt as bad as everyone is making it seem.

[ringtwins]

That's all true, oh and giroux looks like freggly all growed up, whistling

[Devils Pride 26]

Without Kovy, we are going to NEED the third line to pitch in. Clarkson has to get going. But the first ten minutes are all you need to see to know the Devils have a shot at winning this thing.

yes it was. they were outplayed from the second into the ot when the flyers woke up. it wasnt even the same game once that happened. only because of bryz did it go to ot. if youre the flyers you got to start to wonder if he'll keep you from the cup if he continues his play which isnt being magnified due to the flyers winning...for now.

We have too many players that need to be protected at the moment. If Kovalchuk plays then Kovalchuk, Sykora and Clarkson need to be protected in the top 9. Taking Sykora out for Zharkov solves one of the problems. Clarkson hasn't gotten to the point where he needs to come out. Kovalchuk isn't coming out unless his groin completely tears.

Parise - Elias - Zubrus
Ponikarovski - Zajac - Zharkov
Kovalchuk - Henrique - Clarkson
Zarter - Gionta - Beernier

PP
Kovalchuk - Elias - Parise
Zidlicky - Zajac

And I thought we already had enough Z names, Zarter

How many Cups do the Flyers have if they ever had mediocre goaltending in the playoffs? Their last quality gut was Hextall (first tenure).

Please don't remind me. I'd say at least 6 Cups (counting the two in the 70's) maybe more if we didn't run into the Oilers teams in the 80's. Those Flyer teams that played the Oilers circa 85-87 would have beaten a LOT of teams not named the Oilers.

Bobby Clarke was a great player but a stubborn boneheaded GM when it came to addressing goaltending.

The answer to beating the Flyers lies in THE UNIVERSE:

[gata]

I thought i'd share

[Devil Fan]

Three star so far:

1). Parise
2). Brodeur
3). Zajac

As for Bryzgalov, I think he is helping us a bit as well. IMO, he gave up two softies in Game 1 (Travis and Petr's) and was solid in game 2. Then, he gave up two stoppable shot (zach's and Patrik's) and I was a little bit surprise for the OT winner by Poni. However, the trend shows that we expect to see a better Bryzgalov in game 4.

[theamazingtiny]

Zharkov isn't going in the line up. Is he good defensively yes but he can't produce. He has been given so many chances to make the team and he hasn't earned the spot. DO i want him in their over Janssen? Yes i do, but he won't go in the line up so might as well not eve bring him up he isn't basically considered at this point as he wasn't all year when we brought up Mills several times over him. He's pretty much lost it here at this point. I wish he can make it but has shown other wise. He's not a star in Albany and to other players he was the weak link.

Fvck yes, we were getting so caught up in this playoffs thing we were forgetting to have some board drama.

He used my old signature for 2 weeks, regardless of the "Martyisth3b3st" on the bottom right. He's a real winner, that one.

Everyone stop it. There is obviously no way we can beat the Flyers.

I didn't think the Devils could. That being said, they still have to win one more.
