On another note...am I talking to myself in here?
RedHotCulpepper said:The Flyers will win the series if they play like they did last night on four other nights.....They were out shot 58-32 because of the Sabres "speed" and "pressure", and also because the officials continually called EVERY minor thing on the Flyers, which i dont have a problem with, as long as they call it the OTHER way too, and they didn't. I'm not blaming the refs though, the Flyer defenseman didn't play nearly as good enough as it took to win. But the toughness, the effort and the tenacity is one thing i loved to see and one thing that will win us the series if we keep it up.

Crisis said:The "soft" Sabres were more physical than the Flyers all night.
We outplayed the Flyers, we just couldn't cash in oppurtunities to seal it in the end. If the Flyers play this way the whole series and the Sabres start to cash in on the golden chances, it's a sweep.
The reffing was horrible both ways.
RedHotCulpepper said:Keep telling yourself that, the ones who needed to cash in the Golden Oppertunities were the Flyers, hitting the post and missing several wide open nets is inexcusable. If they play the way they did Friday night tonight, they will win.....The officiating was bad on both sides yes, but worse on the Flyers side, and a strong reason the Flyers were out-shot so badly was the fact that the Sabres had 9 power plays. I mean when you spend a good majority of a game killing power play after power play, not only is it draining physically but the scoring just isn't there. The Flyers are supposed to be one of the top "shorthanded" scoring teams, but those stats are padded because their penalty kill is sometimes so poor it can lead to foolish mistakes for the team on the PP. Though they are a great road penalty killing team like i previously stated.....Anyway, tonight is basically a must win for the Flyers because down 2-0 even if they win both home games i cant see them taking a game 5 or 7 in Buffalo, that "Hockey-Hotbed"!

Somehow the Sabres set a franchise record with shots and were the ones who cashed in on every oppurtunity?RedHotCulpepper said:Keep telling yourself that, the ones who needed to cash in the Golden Oppertunities were the Flyers, hitting the post and missing several wide open nets is inexcusable.
