Capitals-Flyers feud brewing
Still stung by his team's 7-1 defeat at the Wachovia Center last month, Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau recently took some shots at the Flyers for what he perceived as running up the score. It was the Caps' worst loss since 2006, and Boudreau thought the Flyers rubbed it in by playing some of their top forwards in the closing minutes. "What goes around comes around eventually," he told NHL.com. "And it will." Boudreau's surging Caps played host to the Flyers last night. When he learned of Boudreau's comments, Flyers coach John Stevens bristled after yesterday's morning skate. "You guys can take this Boudreau stuff and you can take it somewhere else," Stevens told reporters. "I'm not getting drawn into ****-for-tat stuff. I don't know where this is going. Bruce coaches the Washington Capitals. I don't care what he says. I've got my team to get ready here. This is obviously an important game, a hard game, and I don't care what he said, to be honest with you."

Well if Boudreau and the Caps didnt like getting 7 goals scored on them, then maybe they should have done something about it. Maybe play some D? This isnt pee-wee hockey, bunch of crybabies.

funny, boudreau plays ovechkin up to the last second, no matter how many goals he scores.
i'm willing to wager that if ovechkin had a hat trick and the caps were up 6-0 AO would still be playing in the 3rd.

Isn't that what you are supposed to do in hockey, score as many goals as possible? I mean when do you let up? At 3 goals? How many come from behind wins has the league seen this year already?

macdaddy.....don't sweat it, buddy. There is another hiccup in the system today. It hit me yesterday and again today when I was correcting the spelling in a post and the corrections didn't show.
The hiccup was obviously someone choking on yet another Sundin article.......WHO GIVES A RAT'S BUTT!

Let's be honest....which team hasn't "run up" the score at one time or another against a team they don't like.
Go to the corner. Feel shame........

Yeah, you would think the Flyers were the Champs that every team was trying to knock off.

This is a silly story though and cudos to coach Stevens for not being drawn in. Usual Philly class at work.

As I recall, the caps were taking runs at the Flyers as soon as the game was out of reach. The Flyers made them pay on the PP. I would rather they take runs at some of the caps players but they would just get a 20 game suspension to go along with all the injuries they already have from other teams who took runs at the Flyers players... and got only 4 games at worst, most not even a penalty call.

I see some dupes and my comment didn't post so I will try again...
If the Caps themselves really think the score really had nothing to do with them taking runs at the Flyers players after the game was out of reach and getting called for it then they should wear helmets outside of work also.
The Flyers made them pay on the PP instead of taking runs at them. I would rather some of their stars get boarded or elbowed like the Flyers get but instead of a 4 game suspention at best (most of the B.S. doesn't even get a penalty at all called) the Flyers would get 20-25 with an already injury depleted team.
