It's like the Flyers forgot to show up.

Let's see if the Devils can take the lead in this series. They need to keep Kovalchuk out.

I haven't scored tickets yet but man would I love to be there. The only problem I have going to Devils games is my fellow Devils fans. I just don't like them. They're rude, loud and for some reason always chant "Rangers svck" no matter who they're playing. It's like they're from Philly (I hate Philadelphia! It's mostly a Giants vs Eagles thing and a very late hit after the whistle on Ike Hilliard from Brian Dawkins that knocked him out for the season)

Completely awesome! You should change your opinion about them as fast as you can and join them! Who knows you'd like it yourself. :lol:

Yeah, I really do love certain rudeness in hockey fans. Creates more atmosphere and tension if anything. :rolleyes:

Anyway, what I saw from only the highlights this time, Bryzgalov still didn't show anything spectacular. His saves were all about good reads and positioning, stuff that should be taken for granted from an NHL starter. Yet with Bryz, they are "great saves". Oh man. :D I'm not blaming Bryz from last night's game though. Flyers looked pretty horrible in the third. It's like they had everybody in the defensive zone but no-one was defending. I did notice something similar in the 1st period of the first game: Flyers give way too much room for Devils attackers to spread and close in on their goal, whereas the Devils take all the room away from Flyers the moment Philly gets the puck.

Maybe it's just me. Devils fans are a hard pill to swallow. They seem, well, white trash - for lack of a better term at the moment. I'm a much bigger fan of Rangers fans even though I'm supposed to "hate" them, because they seem so much more mature. I'm not a fan of the team (I don't hate them though), but they have better fans.

I'm a NY Giants fan, and lucky for me their fans are just like me - passionate about their team but not jerks. When I go to Devils games I feel out of place. Yeah they're my NHL team but the fans annoy me. Like I said I expect that sort of behavior from Eagles fans, and I absolutely despise everything to do with the Eagles.

(if you don't think Eagles fans are loud, obnoxious white trash, you've never been to south jersey :))

The whole team melted down in the third. They looked tired and unmotivated. It was the complete opposite of game 1, where Philly woke up in the third and NJ looked tired and unmotivated.
