He could. We all could.

I won't watch the cup being lifted by flyers.

So when Tocchet, Kjell, and Wregget won the Cup you changed the channel?

Good thing the Devils beat the Flyers way back when.

If anything, I'll watch it just because of the ex Flyer factor. Salt in the wound

[pfim]

That's an all time brain fart. Right up there with Leon Lett, Chris Webber, Jean Van de Velde...

[ExPatriatePen]

He could. We all could.

Three goals in four minutes?

Seriously, I'd like to know what I'm forgetting.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

The North Stars had an epic collapse. Let's see if the final score exceeds 8-0.

[shafnutz05]

I wouldn't count the Debs out just yet. Plenty of time left.

And I'll bet the Hindenburg will be back flying in no time.

Just kidding SDD, but I don't think I've ever seen such an implosion during a championship game in any sport.

I think that is a massive overstatement. The Devils were down 3-0 in this series, won two in a row, and in game six, had one player commit a really stupid penalty. I've certainly seen worse meltdowns in elimination games

With all due respect Shaf... Can you name one?

2006 Mavericks?

[shafnutz05]

Lol...it was a five minute major. And the game was tied 0-0 prior to that. These weren't even strength goals.

If you want to talk about greatest bonehead moves by an individual in an elimination game, I'm listening

[npv708]

I think I do that same play in NHL 12 all the time, but I only get thrown out, like half the time.

There it is...

Thanks!

And no, I don't think the Mavs collapse compares, they didn't give up 25 or 30 unanswered points. To me that's the equivalent of what just happened.

That's the spirit. Richards, Carter AND Gagne doing something they couldn't do for Philadelphia? I'm in.

Don't forget John Stevens.

Haha, really? IT WAS A POWER PLAY!!! Against a team playing with tons of energy in front of their home crowd. After a penalty that completely deflated any momentum the Devils had.

That doesn't even remotely compare to giving up 25 or 30 points in 5 on 5 basketball.

not bad for the realism factor.

Shaf, I could care less if it's a PP or not, going down 0-3 in less than a four minute span in an elimination game is pretty damn deflating... But I'm smart enough to realize I have three respected posters (at least) who disagree with me. I'll take that as an indication that mine is probably a minority opinion.

Let's see how the Devils respond here to start the 2nd, that'll certainly tell the story won't it?

[shafnutz05]

It most certainly will. If this goes south, just imagine the fan reaction towards Bernier next year in NJ. Wow

Yeah, I even occasionally get a call from Don Cherry, cursing me out for being just another dirty American player.

Hextall and Williams as well. I've read a lot of Flyer fans, or maybe it's the bloggers, who say they are rooting for the Kings. It all changes once they lift the Cup. Out of the four players, I'm glad Gagne gets it the most. One of the few Flyer's whose game I respect and seems a class act off the ice. Add in all the injuries, he deserves. The fact he's going to do it in LA and not Philly? Even better.

[pfim]

Would love it if Pee-Air could get an interview with Bernier. Maybe he can be an in-studio guest in the second intermission.

[shafnutz05]

Agree with the above. I listen to a ton of Philly sports talk (because, quite frankly, the quality on the Fanatic is far better than Pittsburgh outside of Madden), and you can tell there is an underlying fear re: Richards and Carter winning it all.

[llipgh2]

Scuds looks like he has no idea where he is.

[pfim]

Geez. How does the linesman get in that position? That's really poor.

[npv708]

Ouch.

[dman66]

Scuds looks like he has no idea where he is.

His face looks absolutely painful.

LOL Jeff Carter. What a floating puck there.
