@Mr. Nat...Told myself my ranting was done, but... <br /><br />@Mr. Natural - no lectures about how we all had diminished expectations going into this, por favor.<br /><br />I'm THRILLED with how far they made it. I love this team. Great bunch of guys and they gave us something really special to celebrate so far this spring. I'm not giving up on THEM. <br /><br />In fact, the only way I think we stand a chance tonight is if the guys say: Fuck this, we want to win, and skate balls-out for 60 minutes and make the Flyers not know what hit them. <br /><br />I have said since day one of this miraculous run that I love this team/think we made it this far IN SPITE OF CHOCKS. Not because of him.<br /><br />We won the series against the Caps due to Halak's miracles, Hal Gill's heroics and the timely scoring chances those things created.<br /><br />I will give Chocks credit in that his system was going to be good enough to take the Pens to 7 games. (Although when the penguins adjusted to it, they would beat us)<br /><br />What pisses me off now is the fact that we could have made it much further, but for Chocula's inability to make coaching adjustments against the Flyers and throw out his fucking passive defence "puck possession" system when it clearly isn't working against an opponent. <br /><br />If I wanted to make this rant even longer, I could give you SPECIFIC DETAILS with times on the clock to show you why it isn't working... you know, instead of references to heroic past players.<br /><br />But I digress. <br /><br />I sincerely hope he proves me wrong tonight. The way this series has been played thus far makes me doubt it.<br /><br />And I'm not sure how much the guys have left in the tank in order to complete yet another comeback. <br /><br />I will always love this team. I will always be grateful for the magical spring of 2010.<br /><br />That is not incompatible with being pissed off/disappointed/wistful for what might have been. <br /><br />/second rant.lawyergirl77https://www.blogger.com/profile/15982085224804216209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-38540226691065527542010-05-24T07:20:50.974-04:002010-05-24T07:20:50.974-04:00Sounds like it's time to get laid fcfarb.Sounds like it's time to get laid fcfarb.hfotwcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-14510912412523840332010-05-23T23:48:59.028-04:002010-05-23T23:48:59.028-04:00Haha you don't live around Flyers fans do you ...Haha you don't live around Flyers fans do you huh?

You're all di...Man WTF is going on in here....<br /><br />You're all disappointed because all season long you knew we had a great shot at winning the cup if only Chocula would stay hands off?!<br /><br />We ALL had lowered expectations.<br /><br />We ALL were amazed when beyond all reasonable hope they came back from 3-1 to beat the greatest offensive machine in the league?<br /><br />We are a team that gave up more goals than we scored all year and into the payoffs for fuck sake!<br /><br />We ALL knew it couldn't be done against the Pens 'çause they were so much better balance than the Caps? <br /><br />Now we're Smurfs?<br /><br />Now Chocula's a retard?<br /><br />What and the PHucken' PHlyers would have beaten the Caps and Pens?<br /><br />Do you all remember how you felt when they actually won game 7 against the Caps, it was astounding, did not compute!!<br /><br />Well here's one lifelong fan (for more fucking years that I want to admit on this forum) that thinks Chocula is smart enough to listen to Captain Kirk and the brain-thrust that got us here.<br /><br />For smurfs they have stood pretty tall on occasion, if they believe, if they want it more than the other guy, they will come back and beat the PHucken'PHlyers.<br /><br />I have had the honour and privilege to spend time with Mr. Cornoyer , H. Richard, Reggie Houle and the great Jean Beliveau(among others) and when these guys talk about winning they know what the fuck they are talking about and it's about HEART, willingness to sacrifice and do what is necessary about wanting it more and leaving it on the ice.(Don't get them going on the "heart" factor of guys with the skills of the likes of a Kovalev).<br /><br />Lesser teams beat better teams all the time, the PHucken'PHlyers?!! The have a 29 year old Jr. B goalie, they are lacking depth on defence, PHucken Pronger's 36 and starting to look like it.<br /><br />I will tell you if we win game #5 we will storm back and win this series.<br /><br />IT'S THE PHUCKEN'PHLYERS FOR CHristsake, not the Caps or Pens!!!!!<br /><br />I'm upset, goodnight.Mr. naturalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072174171669425438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-69862910424829733722010-05-23T23:35:32.843-04:002010-05-23T23:35:32.843-04:00@Tyg: I know it wasn't your doing with the nam...@Tyg: I know it wasn't your doing with the name.

Boneheaded ownership, and false expectations. No thank you. The Flyers have a great thing going for them. Big powerful forwards, and a great future ahead of them. Our team? Not even close, our GM is a retard who can't draft physical players. Instead we draft a bunch of fucking smurfs.

Made adjustments that forced them to tighten up defensively.<br /><br />Result: super passive, rope-a-dope style that worked fine for the Pens/Caps, but that won't work against a team like the Flyers.<br /><br />Horseshit system was abandoned in game 3 for a run-and-gun style in which, guess what, we outplayed, outshot, outhustled the Flyers and WON THE FUCKING GAME. <br /><br />I have lots of examples, but I won't go into them. One really easy way to tell that we're playing this shit system and that we'll lose the game: count the number of times we dump the puck into the Flyers' end for a line change. We did it ONCE in game 3. Twice in the first period of game 4. 5 TIMES IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF THE SECOND PERIOD IN GAME 4. <br /><br />It's basically a fucking turnover, without being credited as such on the scoresheet. The Flyers scoop that shit up and bang down the ice for a scoring chance. <br /><br />WTF - is Chocula too fucking stubborn to realize his system AIN'T WORKING??<br /><br />Problem is he's fucking untouchable now, so we're in for more of the same unless he smartens up tomorrow night.<br /><br />But it may be too little, too late.<br /><br />The boys deserve better. <br /><br />/rantlawyergirl77https://www.blogger.com/profile/15982085224804216209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-53912735160386359892010-05-23T21:41:22.204-04:002010-05-23T21:41:22.204-04:00First, can we please stop calling everything -gate...First, can we please stop calling everything -gate?
