Tough times for your Flyers. Brzgalov is a polarizing figure in the dressing room. Mason is not the answer in goal. That goalies make the defense look bad. And losing 1-0 to Buffalo is an embarrassment-not quite as bad as Boston losing to Carolina last night, though. If Boston gets beyond the first round, I'll be surprised. Lucic is am overpaid stiff, Horton is invisible, and Krejci is overrated. And that's the B's top line. Ouch!
I can't believe the B's have completely fallen off the map. They looked like serious contenders, and I thought they had enough experience to figure it out before the playoffs. Now they look like an almost-certain one-and-done ... against a Team like Toronto, even!
I joked with someone that I won't be surprised if someone in orange ends up scoring on Bryz this season. He's a headcase, for sure, but I think he can be good enough in the right situation. I think the organ-eye-zation is too obsessed with finding the perfect goalie - a unicorn in hockey - instead of evaluating the position within reason. I always thought Bobrovsky deserved some time to develop. Philadelphia rushed him along and shipped him off, and now he's a Vezina candidate....
The defense doesn't need help looking bad, and it makes the Pronger injury/retirement all the more troubling. He was ALWAYS in the right position in his own zone, and he was like an extra coach on the ice. Just can't replace that.
Does this mean you're back on a hockey kick, or are you still just

I watch from a distance but will watch a game like last night's Leafs-Habs game for a distraction. The last few times the Bruins have been on TV, I haven't watched; and I don't think I've seen a total of three periods of the game the Sabres play that somewhat resembles professional hockey (Last week Wieland called them "a disgrace to the profession."). I haven't seen a game from the Western Conference. Mostly I follow the game at tsn.com, the Boston Globe online, and Sports Illustrated's online coverage, which is pretty good.
