That's one of the first times I've really been pissed off watching the Flyers play in some time. Even in Game 4 against the Pens when they got crushed, you knew Pittsburgh was going to show up and the entire team just had a turd of game. It happens.

Absolutely no excuse for last night. They started strong, got an early lead for once, and then just didn't play. They completely blew what was probably Bryzgalov's best effort of the postseason so far. That's what irritates me. The games have been close because of soft goals and not getting what they should from Bryz. He shows up, and the rest of the team justs lets the Debbies walk all over them.

After busting out a gutsy win on Sunday, I thought they'd be flying all night to grab the 2-0 chokehold lead...

Maybe they'll realize the Devils aren't a joke and Marty isn't in a motorize scooter, yet.

Just win, time to turn the road magic on. Full effort tonight.

I'm not sure if it's the Devils playing better than most expected or if they Flyers just aren't putting out like they need to. I'm not satisfied with what I'm seeing, especially on that Lilja turnover that led to the Devils third goal.

Let's see some more OT magic from the Flyers.

Hartnell is a guy i think everyone on the opposing team would like to kick the **** out of. Acts like a tough guy but takes dives and just a chippy litle bitch like Fleury was in Calgary. This guy needs to grow some ballz and play or strap his purse back on and sit on the sides. Makes Philly (a team full of tough young talented men) look like they have a homo hanging in the background. Decide if ur a man or a bitch Hartnell...

The Devils forecheck has been great the last two games and it's the big reason they're up in the series. I hear a lot of people saying the Flyers aren't playing their game, but could it be that the Devils have just figured out how to beat the Flyers?

One thing I have to say, the officiating was complete garbage in this game. Larsson gets called for high sticking after Briere acts like he was shot, Kovalchuk gets a penalty for shooting the puck over the glass when it clearly went off a Flyer. Zubrus gets called for a bull**** boarding penalty when the Flyer clearly saw him coming and turned his back towards him. Then Zubrus gets his stick slashed in two and no call was made. Thankfully the Devils PK showed up when they needed it and they ended up getting the win.

True, the refs have been horrible. Lest we forget Brodeur punching a Flyer in the head in the crease. Either way, this Flyers effort has been pitiful. Not to take away from the Devils performance, which has been better than I originally thought, but the Flyers looked much better than this in game 1 and the Pens series. Well maybe this will wake up this team though, they thrive when their back is against the wall, hence us winning only one game when we score the first goal and coming back in every playoff game that we have let up the first goal so far.

By the way, I don't know what the medical staff did to Kovalchuk during his time off, but it definitely worked. He had more jump than I've seen probably since the playoffs started. He had a goal and 2 assists in this game, and was flying on the shift that led to the goal.

Not that I'm complaining, but what's happened to Giroux the last couple games? He was dominant in the first round and hasn't really done much in this series. On Kovalchuk's goal he was just floating behind him.

Just freaking win!

Where did the physical play, the will-crushing forecheck from the series with the Pens go?

Well, it was a fun Flyers season. They obviously are spent from bouncing Pittsburgh because they have shown nothing in this series. Sad thing to see considering we should be beating these guys.
