I hope your Cryers are not reading this! I want them to fall for it... Dude, I"m not sure the 'hawks will even score a GOAL the way the Flyers are playing these days....muah ha ha!!!
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Dude, I"m not sure the 'hawks will even score a GOAL the way the Flyers are playing these days....muah ha ha!!! Okay... Step away from the bong... Step away from the bong! You obviously had too much.
ajzepp Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Okay... Step away from the bong... Step away from the bong! You obviously had too much. Well ****, 3 of our 4 wins last series were SHUTOUTS....we're bringin' some of that shiit to Chi-town!
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Well ****, 3 of our 4 wins last series were SHUTOUTS....we're bringin' some of that shiit to Chi-town! Big difference between the Habs, Bruins, Devils! One thing that does work fpr a little bit is to bring the trap (note the Predators series). Do not get all loosey goosey... You will loose!

Do not get all loosey goosey... You will loose! Bobby Clarke learned his lesson from before,when we'd go up against teams that would skate around us in circles, and all our big oafs were helpless against teams like Detroit back when we faced them in the Finals. We've got a more balanced team now that matches up better against a wider variety of opponents, and on top of that we're HUNGRY!!! No more curse of Willie Penn...PHILLY IN DA HOUSE!!!!!!

I get off work at 6pm, and my bday is saturday, so you can bet your ass that the Flyers are going to have a NICE BIG BDAY PRESENT in store for the Z-man!!!
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 What is a Philadelphia Flyer anyway? Is it a train? I think the BlackHawks were named after the original owner's military (I think Army) unit?? They named themselves after the Native American Chief of the Sauk (Great lakes to IL-WI)... The name of the team went from two words (Chief's spelling) to one (the military unit). What gets me is the whole Original 6 BS. The Blackhawks were an expansion team.
Buftex Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 Not the matchup I was pulling for, but it should be a good series. I am still not sure that I believe in the Flyers... I do like Dan Briere though... don't know who to root for...instinct says Blackhawks (how can a Sabres fan pull for the Flyers?), but part of me wouldn't half mind the Flyers winning it... if, for nothing else, to show the Sabres that it is possible to make moves, and it is possible to build a winner pretty quickly....remember how awful the Flyers were just 3-4 years ago?
BuffOrange Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 THis is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. The Bills beat the Jets last year. The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies this year. The Boston Celtics lost to the Indiana Pacers this year. So, tell me again how this differs? It's funny that the people that have no clue about hockey are the one's that spout off stuff that rarely happens in the playoffs. Mostly because, you really only watch it when it pertains to you.....which is no biggie...........just don't act like you know the game more than that. What? When was the last time a 5 seed had homefield in a conference championship game? Or a 4 or 5 in the NBA, much less a 7?
CountDorkula Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Though this has nothing to do with he playoffs, I would like to thank the Maple Leafs for giving Boston the number 2 overall pick. Division Winners last year Deep playoff run this year Underacheived this year by many standards 2 very good goaltenders now they get the number 2 pick? Boston has some good things coming their way, i expect them 2 be back on top next year, and for awhile after.

When they got obliterated by the Red Wings in the finals a while back, I think it helped Clarke finally understand that he needed more speed and players with SKILLS instead of huge bruisers who could overpower their opponents. Even back when I was living in Philly, Clarke was loved for being willing to make moves to improve the team, but criticized for not understanding the current state of the game. Aside from that, Lindros was always overrated, IMO, and Clarke was in love with the guy. A lot of people felt it held the franchise back, cause Lindros very rarely would show up when it mattered. LeClair was always the MVP of those teams from the late 90s....anyway, I digress. I can't wait til Saturday!!!

ajzepp Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Obviously you skipped right past the 2006 playoffs... Yeah, I was a bit preoccupied during that season lol
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah, I was a bit preoccupied during that season lol Just wait till you get a load of the 'Hawks finesse/skating game and then hitting... If they bring it properly (you know anything can hapopen)... Your "A" team Philly won't even be able to hold Chicago's jock. On paper this... The talent team is Chicago and this looks to be a laugher. But, it is hockey and anything can happen! Good luck!
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 This is for Lv: Either way the last 5 years... Right now it is 2-2, with talent (on paper) teams winning 2 SC's. If the 'Hawks win, "talent" (again on paper by far over the Flyers) will have the edge 3-2... Not so overwhelming aye? If Philly wins... Here is hoping you are right (the numbers are a lot closer than you want to think) about "talent" Lv!
Rico Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 I don't watch hockey anymore & I don't know if anyone mentioned this already... but I saw some of the last Chicago game and I have to give the Black Hawks props for the music they play after they score a goal. If I was the other team or the other team's fans, I would really be pissed to hear that.
