Canadiens quotes irk Flyer
Posted: Tuesday May 06, 2008 06:11AM ET
Over the last three months, the Flyers have been a resilient bunch that has thrived on being the underdog. But they sure would appreciate being recognized as only the second team in modern NHL history to go from worst in the league one year to the conference finals the next. The Detroit Red Wings did it in 1987. "I was a little disappointed with the quotes I saw" from the Canadiens after the series victory over Montreal, Flyers center Danny Briere said yesterday. "When you win a series in five games, at some point you had to do something well. But that's the way it has been for us all year."

Report Offensive CommentFrom my knowledge, the Canadiens have only said that the Flyers got all the bounces - they conceded that the Flyers played well, but chalked up the series to the Flyers getting the bounces and the Habs not getting them. Its farily true, if you ask me. How can you deny it when you had a goal go THROUGH a defenceman's skate tuck and into the net? It was a series plagued with questionable reffing, but the Flyers should not be trying to deny that they got more lucky bounces than the Habs did. It was their hard work that got them those bounces, but if what I'm saying is what they are upset about, they need to get over themselves. The series is over, the whining continues

Report Offensive CommentIs the Eastern COnference Finals going to be sponsored by Pampers? We've got a team of divers and complainers vs. a team that cries about injustice AFTER they win a series. I've heard of sore losers but.....

Report Offensive CommentIt's just Briere. He seems a little over-sensitive, but it's not that big of a deal. He's telling the truth.

Report Offensive CommentThis is just Briere getting some payback with the Canadians...
He got booed in Montreal everytime he touched the puck...
So now he is throwing a Boo back at them...with a whoo as his final word
Boo-whoo..Danny.
I'll bet you're still going to be crying at the end of the next series...when you look in the mirror and still see you can't grow a playoff beard.

Report Offensive CommentI've decided to entitle this series with the Pens and Flyers as...
The Battle of the Pennsylvania Peach fuzz...Briere vs Crosby.

Report Offensive CommentIt doesn't take much to upset some players these days, does it? Who cares what the Habs say or think? You beat them soundly. That's all that matters. Move on! You've got bigger fish to fry right now (even though a penguin is a bird of sorts)!

Report Offensive CommentIt would be fair to assume that the Pens will get more help from the refs than the Flyers. Firstly, because of the image Betman & Co. are trying to project of the new NHL and secondly, because they would like nothing better than a Detroit - Penguins final. Good for ratings and all that. They'll keep the Flyers on a short leash.

Report Offensive CommentCanadian fans have become rather boorish. They lost. Their fans can officially shut their whiny pieholes and go ice fishing or whatever the hell they do in Canada besides hockey. I am a Flyers fan but I unfortunately think we will lose in 6 to the Penguins. I think the Penguins will do more with their scoring chances than the boys from montreal managed to do.

BuhBye!

Report Offensive CommentFlyers in 6. Same as the Habs series but won't be able to finish in Pitt in game 5. Will have to come back and feed off the Home crowd to beat the Kid and company. No matter what happens, I'm expecting an amazing series, musch like the entire Flyers Post Season.
25 years Dang it, I want a parade down Broad Street!
