Big Flyers fan here, I am going to tuesdays game; the series has produced 2 great games, even matchup, but I still like the Flyers. I think both teams are gonna be great for a while, so young.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

2-0 win. :)

I can't believe the Flyers dropped the first game after leading 4-2, but Ovechkin made an amazing play.

2 games, 1 goal by Ovechkin...advantage Flyers. :)

[QUOTE=hooskins;439322]Pens are dominating?? They let the Senators back into the 2nd game in the 3rd period and give them a tough time. Domination is an overstatement.[/QUOTE]

Did you tune in and watch what domination looked like tonight?

LET'S GO PENS!!!
LET'S GO PENS!!!

Ahem, this isn't a Pens vs Senators Playoff Thread

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Yeah if you want one go make one. I couldn't give less of a shit about the Pens vs. Sens, everybody was hoping for that matchup but as has been said before we can't all get in position to lose the final game to secure that matchup anyways. If Ottawa had gone up against any team in the Eastern Conference they most likely would've been eliminated in 4 or 5 games.

Awfully loud for a guy who doesn't care about hockey until playoff time. What a die hard fan. Yawn.

Sure sure...of course you'll say that.


The Flyers took a game at Verizon and are coming home with an even series.

You know fans in Philly are loud and trashy too. :angry-smi

Ovechkin has been held in check so far.

But yes, he was held in check for game two.

Yeah, it's not like Ovechkin has netted a game winner or anything. And for all you Philly fans that like the fact that they split the two games in Washington, remember this. In the regular series Washington lost both games at home but won both games at Philly's place.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Caps down 4-2 right now. They're struggling...or maybe they've just hit their wall now.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

I'm going to go with the latter. Watching this has been as painful as anything I can remember. I want to have faith that the Caps can turn this series around, but knowing that they've been had for like 8 out of 9 quarters is somehow not making things look bright. I can only wish that it won't be like this if we manage to make the playoffs next season. And at what point do we have to start thinking about putting Olie in for Huet? I used to have tremendous faith in him and his 1.64 (or something around that number) GAA in the regular season since coming to Washington, but this is the second time in 3 games that he's allowed 4 or more goals. My hat is off to the Flyers, they certainly have the Caps' number right now.

And their defense has been tremendous, I haven't seen anything out of our first line this entire series save for Mike Green. Not to mention they get their offense in gear so quickly it's ridiculous. Watching this series has made me hate the Flyers almost as much as any team in the NFC East.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

Their D was absolutely amazing tonight. The last two games they've gotten a lead and just buckled down. That's why our 3rd period shots on goal have been so sparse. And on offense they've done a great job of screening Huet. Ugh.

Re: Official Capitals vs Flyers Playoff Thread
 

This is a TUFF loss for the team. This Caps team has to play together and attack and create chaos in front of biron and fire the puck on him, stop passing and start shooting (Which I did see more of tonight, NOT ENOUGH)! But its no where near over, this game 4 Thursday they have to come out and play their butt off and leave that hole knotted up at 2 a piece , NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!

This team has found a way to fight there way out of a hole the last month plus, I don't think they are anywhere near out of gas. I see them leaving philly knotted up at 2!

GO CAPS!
