TJ Oshie - Shootout beast.

I'm in Middletown, Delaware. Went to the beach yesterday morning to secure some stuff at our beach place, and picked up a generator on the way home. We made it through Irene without losing power, but something's telling me we won't be so lucky this time.

There were reports that TB lost somewhere between 20-25 million last year, and Yzerman has been trying to hammer out an extension with Stamkos and his agent for well over a month. I'm sure plenty of clubs are going to be willing to tender him an offer sheet with hopes of leaving Tampa no choice but ...

Habs should be a good test for the Flyers tomorrow night. They're playing well, and Price has looked good.

Eleven million extension contract for J. Carter with a cap hitting at 5.2 next year. Good signing for the Flyers.

I'm sure you meant 11 years, and I agree it's a good deal. Now, Homer needs to work on getting Leino inked. I'm not sure how I feel about these long contracts, but I don't mind seeing ...

Flyers are fun to watch. I hate to see players losing their job to an injury, but how can you not keep riding Bob at this point? With that said, I can't wait to see Leighton back to take some of the workload off of the rook. It'll help us in the long run.

JVR scratched again, and impressive Eric ...

That's how it looked on TV...

I thought the hit was clean. If anything should've been called, maybe charging, but you rarely see that called in the NHL these days.

I do love how all hell broke loose after the play, and Crosby is at center ice begging the ref for a penalty to be called on Lupul.

As for the series, I don't ...

Mitch Williams was there last night. He's an analyst for CSN Philly (Ricky Botallico as well), and he was interviewing players on the field after the game. Mitch is actually loved by Phillies fans these days, and his analysis is usually spot-on.

He actually talked on-air about that sign Naples just ...

I'm pumped. The Phils have looked good through two series, but the long layoff does have me a bit worried.

I thought Price was awful, once again, in game 5. Umberger's 2nd goal, and Hartnell's slapper, are routine saves for most NHL goalies. Flyers fans have been through this in the past, watching goalies allow those deflating softies in. That is what's been so great about Biron thus far, he makes all of ...

Incredible effort by the Flyers tonight. They once again blow a 2 goal lead, yet find a way in the end. Briere has been worth every penny during these playoffs. Biron was outstanding. You can't really fault him for either goal.

Biron ...WOW!...
Dont know what they can do differently?

How about crashing the net more? He's seeing all the shots. Habs forwards are not moving their feet, no screening going on, they have to play with more desperation. We'll see what happens in the last period.

I couldn't agree more. In fact ...

Was I the only Flyer fan expecting the Habs to tie it late?

Indeed it was. He might be getting a call from the league office.

All Philly had to do was play disciplined in the third, and they coast to a win. Now, it's 3-2, and the Habs are pushing hard.

After two games, I think we have a chance. Our last two regular season games with the Habs were nailbiters, and we could very easily be up 2-0 after two playoff games in Montreal. Buckle your seatbelts, we might be in for another long series.

I must admit: Joffrey Lupul is playing some pretty decent hockey for the Flyers. The guy was complete shite in Edmonton, but the change in scenery has helped him.

The last two games. The guy was invisible for the first 6 with Washington. He did play well during the regular season ...

B*tching about the refs will give Flyernation a convenient excuse after Philly loses to the Habs in the second round, though.



Take care,
PK

Not really. Flyers fans are well aware that we're huge underdogs going into this series. Going against the Caps, we knew we were the better team. Take the ...

Imagine if it were a Philly fan throwing that bottle at a Caps player...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!



What a freakin' game! The Upshall-Carter-Knuble line killed it tonight. Biron and Huet were spectacular in the third period and the first OT.

3-1!

What I loved most about the dive AO took was that Richards immediately skated up to him while he was down, and was barking in his ear to get up and stop faking.

No doubt it was a trip, but both Umberger and Ovechkin should've been sent off.

Thanks, Jared!

Mike Richards is Cannon.

I'll be at the Flyers/Caps game tonight, and I can't wait. Two years without playoff hockey in Philly seems like an eternity. The Wachovia Center is going to be rocking.

How lame is it that the Flyers/Caps series doesn't start til Friday?
