The Official 2008/09 Flyers Thread

Definitely. I guess it was good to get the losing streak out of the way early. Hopefully we don't go through it again.

 

They'll go through a couple more...just hope that the last one isn't at the end of the season...

 

Well, couple more losing streaks, yes. I just sure hope they're not six games long. :icon_eek:

 

:icon_lol:

 

Power Play goal, Richards!

1-0 Orange and Black, but the leafs have a PP now.

Ugh, another penalty on the Flyers. I love it when the refs are too stupid to make the calls when players are going down left and right, but as soon as someone's stick touches the body of another player for a split second, the arm goes up.:icon_rolleyes:

 

Richards is the man!

 

Back-to-back shorthanded breakaways for Carter but he just misses a goal both times. Watching this penalty kill unit is almost worth taking bad penalties.

Hartnell draws a hooking/holding penalty on what would have been the third SH chance of the penalty kill. Flyers will get a 1:40 PP in 20 seconds.

Jesus Carter with yet another chance on the power play and he's stoned again. Jeff isn't used to getting denied so often.

Sbisa just completely upended a Leaf. What a huge hit.

 

Score?

 

Still 1-0 Flyers midway through the second period, but the Leafs are on the power play again.

Our own PP/opponent PP ratio has been so lopsided recently.

What a save by Biron!

How the hell was that offside? Everyone had touched up. These refs are just whistle-happy.

Still 1-0 after two periods.

Intermissions are nice when there's an NFL playoff game on, but otherwise they are brutal.

Crap. Leafs tie it up only 40 seconds into the third period.

 

Dammit!

 

Carter!!! Flyers back in front thanks to the PP goal.

 

Alberts! 3-1 Flyers.

That's his first goal since 2006.

 

Hell yeah!

 

Carter with the empty-netter to put it away!

His 29th goal of the season. Ties his career high.

The final buzzer sounds, Flyers win! 8 straight wins at home.

 

woooooooooooo hooooooooooooooo

 

Love this team...

 

watched the 3rd period after work. that was one hell of a game

 

The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired defenseman Chris Pronger and forward Ryan Dingle from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Luca Sbisa, Joffrey Lupul, two first round picks and a conditional third round pick.

Philadelphia Flyers - News: Flyers Acquire Chris Pronger - 06/26/2009

 

Ugh. They gave up way too much for a 35 year old defenseman. It's obviously a move to counter the Penguins, but Holmgren is selling out the future. Cup or awful.
