Time for me to boycot the Flyers. No offense. It’s a jinx I believe. We’ll see what happens. [Link]
Flyers.Femme » Game 3: FPoW Conference Finals
This Game Yikes! I'm trying to pay attention to the game while I'm on a conference call. The call was winning, but it's done now. (Verizon FiOS, please hurry up and get to my neighborhood so that I can throw another service your way. I mean, you already have me for everything else, 'kay?) Getting a look at the score … [Link]
Flyers Center » Credit is Due
I have to give credit to the fans that were in attendance for game 2 in Pittsburgh. When Coburn went down, the Penguin fans could have easily booed him as he got up but they showed some class and gave him a round of applause for getting up and off the ice without any serious injury. It’s good to see … [Link]
Flyers Goal Scored By… » Flyers vs. Penguins Game 3
At 7:35 tonight, as the sun disappears over the underemployed inhabitants of the City of Pittsburgh, and as they pour into their favorite bars like they do every other night of the week, the Flyers are going to begin playing what has to be 60 minutes of war-like hockey against their beloved Penguins. The Flyers need to battle but, remain … [Link]
Flyers Center » Believe
Have you had that feeling that everything is going to go wrong? That we are cursed and there is nothing we can do to get through this round? Well, you are not alone. That feeling of panic is only natural to a Philadelphia sports fan, let alone a Flyers one. Our top defensive pairing is out with injury, our top … [Link]
eager to go psycho » Crybaby Crosby
Yep, he's in the oven.
I don't really have anything to say about Crosby. It's just that when you google crybaby crosby, I was the second link instead of the first, so I'm just trying to get back into first place. I might throw in a "Crosby Sucks" here just to see if I can get higher on that google results … [Link]

Clarke's Boys » Series Shifts Back To Philly
On this morning before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Philadelphia Flyers have a lot of work cut out for them. As the series shifts to South Philly, not only are the Flyguys down, 2-0, they’ll be without their top two defensemen in Kimmo Timonen and Bryadon Coburn. Both are freaky, fluke injuries that can have you question … [Link]
Flyers Center » Hartnell Has a Simple Plan
Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Hartnell has nothing to hide when discussing his strategy prior to stepping on the ice each shift. “That’s because I’ve basically played the same way my whole career,” Hartnell told NHL.com. Sounds simple enough, but as linemate Daniel Briere explains, Hartnell’s game is all about passion and determination, qualities that have earned him the respect and … [Link]
Flyers Center » Coburn Doubtful for Game 3
Per flyers.com
Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn was examined today by Dr. Steven Goldman at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. The following is a statement from Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren: “Everything checked out okay. The only issue now is the swelling around his eye. That is the concern we have right now moving forward. Everything in and around his eye is … [Link]
HockeyBuzz.com: Bill Meltzer » Flyers Playoff Gameday: Game 3 vs. Penguins
WRAPUP The Penguins have been the better team in this series and deserve to be up three games to none. They've executed their neutral zone trap to near perfection. When the puck has gone in deep, they've done an excellent job protecting Marc-Andre Fleury. Most of all, they have done an outstanding job of capitalizing on Flyers turnovers. "They're creating … [Link]
Flyers Goal Scored By… » Shine A Light on Steve Downie
Say what you will about his turnover, but I think Steve Downie was the Flyers best player last night.
Now those of you with access to "yahoo" or "nhl.com" are probably saying "that guy only played 3:46 last night, surely this guy is having a laugh!" I assure you I am not having a laugh. As a matter of fact my … [Link]
Flyers.Femme » Scheisse
Literally, that was my thought on hearing, seeing and reading about the puck Coburn took to the face last night. (It equaled the reaction to the one Sami took earlier in the year.) Best wishes for a speed recovery, big guy! I would say that my permanently displaced jaw flared up today just for you, but I believe it had … [Link]

Flyers Center » Flyers Down 2 - 0 to Penguins
(Pittsburgh, PA) – Maxime Talbot scored midway through in the third period to break a tie, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-2 victory and two games to none lead over the Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference Finals at Mellon Arena on Sunday night. Talbot, returning from a three-game absence due to a foot injury, got open in the … [Link]
Clarke's Boys » Robert Esche Is Alive
Not that long ago, my buddy asked me, “Where’s Robert Esche these days?” Looking up the whereabouts of “Bob The Goalie,” I found that he wasn’t in the NHL this season. Seeing action in only 18-games in last year’s debacle of a Flyers season, Esche was a free agent and became expendable after the acquisition of Martin Biron. Esche was … [Link]

Clarke's Boys » Flyers In A Hole
When Derian Hatcher is playing 28-minutes in the 2008 (not 1998) conference finals, you’re in trouble. After the loss of Kimmo Timonen, young star, Braydon Coburn was asked to pick up most of the slack. Well, that lasted only a little over a minute of playing time into Game 2, as Coburn was struck in the face with the puck … [Link]
Flyers.Femme » A Plague I Tell You
Bad house-keeping strikes again! You know, there's nothing like a few days off when you're hot. Time to relax. Time to get over some of those little aches and pains. Time for you to pencil in a loss. Marty: Get sticky again. Nitty: Practice really hard. And pray that we haven't keep you sitting so long that you go colder … [Link]
HockeyBuzz.com: Bill Meltzer » Flyers Playoff Gameday: Game 2 vs. Penguins
WRAPUP AND THIRD PERIOD COMMENTARY The Flyers played the Penguins pretty evenly over the course of the second and third periods, but once again were done in by an unforced turnover. Philly battled valiantly in the absence of both Kimmo Timonen and Braydon Coburn (badly cut near his left eye after getting struck by a puck). But that's small consolation … [Link]
