welp

Looks like my Flyers are just about done for. I think that they will win Game 6 at home. All teams have a tough time closing out a series, especially with the Rangers being away from the Garden. We just aren't a good matchup for them. Unless Mason is able to steal 2 games in a row its all over :( Giroux scored a goal today, so that was cool. I thought we came out in the 1st period playing well but it just went downhill

They need to clean house in Philly. New management top to bottom. They just can't seem to let go of that old school, old boys club mentality. Prior to the salary cap they could out spend their competition. Now that teams are forced to build through the draft and player development the deficiencies in this organization are being exposed. When is the last time they developed a stud defenseman? How about a goalie? I think we'd have to go back to Ron Hextall to find an example.

I agree. Philly needs to move past the Broad Street Bullies and focus on the future. They are in desperate need of a franchise goalie and some solid D. Some good 2-way forwards would help too. I love watching Philly games but it is tough sometimes. Still rooting for Philly over NY...Go Flyers!

I have a theory about Pens fans...Either they're from Pittsburgh, or they're tween girls who are obsessed with Sidney Crosby (Isn't that a girls name?). haha

Agreed. Even their trades have been terrible lately. It's sad when players like Richards and Carter are run out of town, and then win a cup the very next season with another team. My god, all of us stoners in this thread would do a better job managing this team. Maybe Paul Holmgren needs to smoke a joint the next time he decides to pick up the phone and trade someone. :bigjoint:
