Filmboy, I tell you what! It aint gonna be that easy, is it?

It's not gonna be easy at all. Especially since the refs now owe Philly at least two bad calls to even this out. Not to mention how fucking pissed everyone in the Flyer locker room is right now. Bullshit calls winning games FTL.

For the record, if that high stick goal was a Flyer goal, I'd be the first to admit it was crap.

Goal 2 = fail

Flyers goal 3 wasn't a problem. It hit his shin guard. If he kicked that in, he should be a soccer player.

Richards doesn't commit penalties late in games like that. The next shoulder hit I see from a Canadien better be a penalty too.

Ok, ok, i can tell you're not happy.
What about these 2 post we hit in the 1st? Could've been 6-3. And we've had our penalties too. Penalties on wich you scored.

True the game wasn't that great. It felt like the teams we're studying each other at some point... Ain't gonna be easy for sure... On both sides. That goes without saying.

Posts are all part of a goalie's equipment. If it hits the post, it's as good as hitting the blocker or the glove.

The game had some awful officiating. Point blank. From a neutral standpoint, it was pretty unfair. Highly in favor of the Canadiens. But really, the refs won that game for them tonight. Just awful.

It wasn't unfair until the end of the 3rd IMO, because they did let the flyers get that goal that bounced off his skate...

But at the end = lame.

That's one point of view. I don't share it.

It's fair if a puck hits a skate, unless there is a deliberate kicking motion as to direct the puck into the net with a skate. Which there was not. Lupul's skate was coming off of the ground from losing balance and being shoved. To make things even more clear, it hit his lower shin guard.

The end was definitely lame. Chalk a win up to the refs. Meh.

Being a goalie for 7 years, I lived by that.

Sounds like a good reason.

Definitely my friend. The post saved me many times. I always honor the post, no matter what team it's helping.

Nice booing of Briere, too!

A couple points here:

1). The post game interviews from the Flyers were pretty positive, and the players know that they can run with these guys.

2). Versus sucks dead donkey dick. Games 2 & 3 are on Versus, and I can't get them!

[Blood Tempest]

The booing of Briere was awesome. It's nice to know we have a player worthy of that.

1) I agree. They're confident and know this series is far from out of reach. It's anyone's series.

2) Versus is definitely lame. Fortunately I get it. My only recommendation to you is maybe try to find a bar that will be showing the game and go there.
