How about those FLY$ going 4-5-1 in their last 10 games and after blowing home ice against the NY RAG$ their coach (John Steven’s) says,”I’ve liked the way we played lately . . . ” Oh yea – no wonder those FULGY fans are booing. What’s that message?

@ Stealth
Those Flyers walked right over Montreal after beating the Caps. They didn’t look too wore out!

The Flyers will make the playoffs, and as for last season, the CAPS wore the Flyers out in that first round seven game series… No one wants a first round matchup like that…

I doubt anyone would be “Tanking”, with how close all the teams are and how close they are to missing the playoffs, 1 win changes everything, there is no way someone would be purposely losing, at least until they secured a spot. I do believe that the last game teams may throw it for a better matchup.

This would be a super first round match-up. Question now is with Paul Holmgren calling-up three start players and his coach is this a SMOKE and MIRROR routine and they are really TANKING to avoid a Penguin 1st round!

GM calls out the FLYERS STARS…………

FLYERS falling down – cruising LOL
Paul Holmgren says, “Mike [Richards] has to play better, Jeff [Carter] has to play better. These guys are our big guns. Simon [Gagne] has to play better. Mike Knuble and Scott Hartnell, these are our big guys, they all have to step up.”

FLYER FANS are losing it too: Why can’t the defense get any shots on net from the point?? Come on Briere earn your money! Stevens is the coach. It’s his team. it’s his fault. They play with NO intensity at all. Stevens has no intensity at all. The Defense has been suspect at best. How many giveaways have we seen by Coburn and Alberts lately? As long as we only have a second rate goalie like he was in Buffalo, we will only be a second rate team.
Mr. Lover lover loves this stuff boom -boom -boom.

Okay – Okay YINZ is convincing me to park the Pen’s WOOHOO TRAIN here at PenguinPOOP. I see a few visitors and original WOOHOO Train Pen’s fans starting to post here so why not. YINZERS all have to be some where when the playoff rides begins – right.
@ DR Hook YINZ had better get the Matchup of the PENS VS CANES in the works after last night, eh.

DR Hook,

Nice Write-up. Can’t disagree with you here.

Whatever Bylsma’s doing, it’s working. He has the team playing almost to their potential. He brought the swagger back.

Its funny to think that not too long ago we weren’t sure the Pens would make the playoffs, now we’re bracing ourselves for what very well might be another serious run.

KULT: After reading the post-gazette article that dunlop posted, I’m starting to believe maybe Therrien was the problem, I willing to bet the Pens are high on the list of teams no-one wants 2 play!

First of all I just want to say nice site guys/girls. First timer her. In these times you have to keep a sense of humor and it’s much better than tracking my IRA!
As to the Flyers, they are one of those good and bad teams some days they are on and some days they are off. The pens are in that catagory too unless you go along with the theory that Therrien was stinking the place up. Right now since Bylsma been on the scene I’m going with it was Therrien and these boys are right back where they should have been all the time. I’m thinking that if anyone is TANKING games it’s around playing us in the first round. I don’t think any team wants us right now.

We probably beat the Flyers as easily in five as last year, that’s if the Flyers make the playoffs, they are sinking fast.
