On a final point, Tampa will crush Calgary in the Finals. The rust will kill Calgary in the first two games, and Calgary will not be able to roll the lines against Tampa's big guns. Calgary has one line that can score from game to game. I know you guys are prolly gonna disagree, but having...

Congratulations to the Lightning. They are a good hockey team and will probably win the Cup. Flyers fans have nothing to hang their heads about, and Robert Esche was simply brilliant tonight and really was the only reason the Flyers were even close in this game. He made some mind boggling...

Man I hope this is a great game tonight! Tampa has earned my respect, although I still have my doubts about how they are going to respond in a game 7 of a series that would be over if not for their lackluster effort at the end of the last game. But it is a game 7 and truly it is anyone's game...

Joe, I agree with you about the Primeau thing and the game being the best of the series from both teams. But you know what, you might think that Primeau is the only thing that got the Flyers to this point if you listen to the idiotic ESPN announcers. True he has been amazing in this series...

WHEW! Who knows what will happen in game 7 with the way this series has been? But I'll tell you what...this was a game the Flyers really deserved. They dominated the Bolts down the stretch. But I am ever weary of the typical philadelphia sports situation--we all have been here before with...

Win or lose, I am really proud to be a Flyers fan this year. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a player dominate in the playoffs the way Keith Primeau has this year. Goalscoring, hitting, faceoffs, you name it--this guy has been truly awesome in every facet of the game. More...

Well it was close to the Flyers being offsides there on Kappanen's goal. Khabibulin and Esche both look terrible tonight, and yet again you gotta just marvel at how remarkably bad of a series this has been.

Ok..fuck this. Tampa Bay was offsides on the Lecavalier goal. I am so fucking sick of the officiating in this series.

Tony, yes Tampa Bay is winning because of what the Flyers are failing to do. There are two sides to that coin--Tampa has done well on special teams, but the Flyers have also been non-existent. You could say that Tampa is doing a good job and is just outplaying the Flyers on special teams. Or...

Alright Michael I'm done with you. I'm not gonna get into a pissing match with you. I am gracious--I have been very fair in my comments as this series has went on, even impartial at times. If you will read my posts, I have been stating that both teams have played very poorly for large stretches...

Michael, remind me again how Tampa scored its three goals before the empty netter? They were average at even strength, in fact unless I'm missing something the Flyers outscored them 2-0 at even strength. 5 on 5 this team hasn't done shit against the Flyers, but the Flyers penalty killing has...

Micheal...get a clue please. What game were you watching? To say that Tampa played well would be a gross overstatement--Khabibulin won the game for them. Kudos to him for bailing out his team, but the Flyers dominated from the second period on. I'm not bitching about the game--but be realistic...

ugghh now Tampa looks terrible--if they keep taking dumb penalties and playing in their own zone they are gonna end up losing this game. What is up with this series--does anyone wanna actually show up for a whole game? Neither of these teams will beat Calgary or San Jose if they keep playing the...

ughh..the Flyers look hideous right now. You can really see that they are tired, and Tampa's lucky streak with injuries just continues. I think this series might be over, and yet again I must say that the level of play in this series has just been terrible--when will both teams actually play a...

Joe, you are right it was a game of lost chances. Tampa got some hideous power plays off of terrible calls, and that is where most of their scoring chances came from. They were terrible in this game, and one thing that is really bothering me so far in this series is that both teams have failed...

Well Tampa can thank Khabibulin for holding onto their 2-0 lead after two. The Flyers look really inconsistent, bummer. For a lot of the second they looked like they were on a power play but can't score at all. This series has been really weird so far. Anyone else notice how bad the ice is...

ugghh that was a painful first period. Esche should have had both of those :angry: Flyers look flat and aren't capitalizing on Tampa's turnovers tonight like they did in game 2.

Man the Flames look good! That plus San Jose looks terrible. They'll be tough in the finals for either the Flyers or Tampa (I don't see San Jose coming back)

And on a final note, I have never so much as touched a puck while it was on the ice, but I do know a thing or two about hockey. Sporting experience doesn't mean squat when it comes to know about the sport. LOL are you serious? I know football really really well for one who has never played...

Man am I getting flack. Anyway, if Tampa fans know so much about the game then why do they cheer when their is an icing? Why do they have to have things like icing explained to them. Hockey is still a young sport in Florida. I never said the Flyers would walk away with the series--but they...

Colorado and Detroit are overpaid, overhyped teams. They did not lay down, they actually really tried. They just weren't good enough to beat the Sharks and Flames, respectively.

Christ, I'm not bragging merely stating a fact based on what certain people have said on these boards. Did I not say Tampa's defenseman would get burned eventually if they continued to play run and gun? Didn't they get obliterated last night for that very reason--by some accounts they gave up...

You mean people who moved here from Canada, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, etc.? And I may be a (rare) native Floridian, but I think I've learned enough about hockey over the past 11 years to understand how it works. Really, is that why a lot of you Lighthing supporters were saying...

Hate to say I told you so--Tampa's YOUNG defenseman got burned tonight, and if they don't learn, they will get blown out in this series like they got blown out tonight. That game tonight was what should have been happening to Tampa all playoffs, but the problem is that they played teams that...

You guys obviously weren't watching the same game I was. Tampa had no business even being in this game until the latter part of the second period. They were dominated for large stretches of the games against both the Islanders and especially the Canadiens too. Yes you are right though, they won...

LOL--The Lighting yet again were DOMINATED for large portions of this game. The Flyers size WILL play a factor--to anyone that watched the game, they could see that the Flyers looked like they were on a power play the whole time. That and Tampa's defenseman were taking chances left and...

I wouldn't be too sure of that. Tampa's speed will be difficult for the Flyers to contend with. Are you kidding me? That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Let's look at the lineups, shall we--Sami Kapanen is one of the fastest players in the world, he won the skills competition fastest...

Whew what a finish. Did anyone see the OT? Great back and forth action! Kapanen got absoultely demolished by the head-hunter Darcy Tucker, but then Roenick's goal really was a great shot...if you are gonna lose in OT you may as well lose on a good shot. Now I do feel as though I can bitch...

Bring on the Bolts. It's 2-0 with three mins to go in the first! Man I really hope this is the Flyers' year. I get a funny feeling that it might be.

Bye Bye Wings! Calgary deserved this series, and Detroit is just getting too old to do anything any more. I think this marks the end of the Wings as we've come to know them--a lot of key old guys on that team.
