Daily Links for Tuesday, April 19

While I agree with that to some extent, I think our problems lie elsewhere. Philly’s D is very strong, with or without Pronger. Getting 37 shots and even getting the quality that we had is a feat. Our problem is in two things offensively: failure to capitalize on the PP at key times, and failure to bury chances. We are getting to the net and crashing hard. We just need to finish our chances. Taking any shots, even if poor, are good shots to take against Boucher. Just look at the second goal last night: Connolly takes a wrister from the top of the circles which Boucher throws out a huge rebound to Gerbe.
On another note, both goals last night were scored high on Boucher…I would bet you will see a LOT of high shots in Game 4 from the Sabres.

If you are curious about scoring chances, I believe toddthefox is still tracking them at BSH. He started during the end of the regular season for the Flyers. I’m hoping that he posts them for the playoffs soon. If he does, I’ll drop a link in the comments of a flyby.

We have become much younger on the back end. Anyone else love Weber’s play so far? He is such a beast knocking people around.

Yeah, that is harsh. We obviously do not get the comment load they do, but to make fun of our followers is pretty lame.

I also never thought I’d see the day that the FLYERS called US dirty. That’s clearly a joke. We took penalties, yes. But I wouldnt really consider hooking, holding the stick, roughing, etc dirty penalties. Get your facts straight Flyers douchebags fans! I’d go over there and tell those cheesesteak sucking rocky-lovers what is up, but I wouldn’t be caught dead being a member of that filthy site!

Let’s just hope the Sabres pull their heads up, clean up their own zone, and show the Flyers who the better team really is.

If we were up 2-1 I’m sure we’d have our share of smug comments. And, to be fair, the higher seed has earned the right to be smug when they’re up – it’s the expected outcome.

As for bashing DBTB, well, if they want to flash their e-boners around about how great their collection of zeros and ones is, let them. I’m secure enough in our site-hood that it doesn’t bother me.

Snapshots of individuals on a fairly large blog is not representative of the group. And in fairness , a lot of green does hurt the eyes, but is a preference here, and I think it’s respected. I’d hope none of the members of BSH would come on here to complain about the green; they keep that in their house which doesn’t seem like that big of a deal IMO. I’m not sure how any of that is indicative of ignorance of the community as a whole.

As a side note, I’ve quite enjoyed the visits from Ubiquitous.

Hecht, not Roy… hopefully.

I had thought Roy was second round at the earliest?

I laughed out loud in my office when I came back to the page and it was all green!
Would be nice to get Roysie and Hecht back ASAP, but that is a pipe dream. Both could provide a huge burst.

Only two at this point, not much of an invasion. This is more like a how do ya do than an invasion.

I’ll allow any sort of OT talk that involves Portal 2.
