The New Jersey Devils are already assured of playing in the postseason and may know if they have home-ice advantage for the opening round when they take the ice on Friday night.

The Philadelphia Flyers, meanwhile, are simply hoping to make the playoffs as they meet the Devils for the final time in the regular season at the Wachovia Center.

The Devils (45-28-7) will clinch the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference if the New York Rangers get no points in their game with the New York Islanders on Thursday. New Jersey also could lock up home-ice advantage with either a win over the Rangers on Sunday at the Prudential Center.

"That's the thing we need to get," the Devils' Zach Parise said of having the home-ice edge in the quarterfinals.

New Jersey is 24-14-2 at home this season, and has only three regulation losses in its last 13 at its new arena.

The Devils were blanked in their first game against the Flyers this season, but have won six straight from them by a combined 28-12 score with special teams play being the key. Over the last four meetings, the Devils are 8-for-24 on the power play, and they tied a club record with five man-advantage goals in a 7-3 road win on Jan. 22.

Philadelphia (40-29-11) enters this game ninth in the East, one point behind Boston and Washington, who are tied for seventh.

They will be returning home to face a New Jersey team which has won three in a row -- all after regulation -- including a 3-2 shootout victory over Boston on Wednesday.

Parise was the hero for the second straight game after beating the Bruins' Tim Thomas for the lone goal in the tiebreaker. On Tuesday, Parise tallied his team-leading 32nd goal 29 seconds into overtime of a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders that clinched the Devils' 11th straight playoff appearance.

"We are trying to move forward and play well going into the playoffs," said New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur, who stopped all four Bruins he faced in the shootout en route to his 43rd win. "We got rewarded by a big goal at the end."

After losing five consecutive starts in Philadelphia between February 2004 and March 2006, Brodeur is 6-1-1 with a 3.07 goals-against average in eight starts there. He is 16-1-1 in his last 18 starts against the Flyers overall.

Philadelphia had picked up five of a possible six points through a three-game swing in the New York City area, but was beaten 4-2 by Pittsburgh on Wednesday in its final road game of 2007-08. The Flyers will close the regular season on Sunday against the Atlantic Division champion Penguins.

"We still hold our fate in our hands. If we win our next two we're in," the Flyers' Mike Richards said. "Two games at home is a good position to be in."

Philadelphia has won three in a row at home, and is 6-2-0 there since a six-game losing streak from Feb. 6-23.

Scott Hartnell and Jeff Carter scored first-period goals for the Flyers on Wednesday. Daniel Briere had one assist, extending his point streak to seven games (five goals, five assists).

Briere, who's wrapping up his first season with the Flyers after signing an eight-year, $52 million free-agent deal, has only two goals and two assists in seven games versus New Jersey. He leads Philadelphia with 31 goals and is second with 72 points, two behind Richards.



hugeee game. we can clinch home ice advantage for the first round and hurt the flyers playoff chances. Go Devils!!!!

Lets Get this Home Ice issue wrapped Up!

Let's secure home ice with a win tonight. I expect a nice, physical game.

http://images2.metacafe.com/thumb/210333/1457191/4/flash_player/0/the_wrap_it_up_box.jpg

I won't see either of the last two games, I'm leaving in five hours for a trip to Pittsburgh/Ohio! LETS GO DEVILS!!!!! GET THAT HOME ICE!

We might as well give it our all and lock up that fourth spot. Too bad either way it looks more and more like we'll be facing the Rangers in the first round.

Then again we have all seen that the playoffs are a whole different story..

Please smoke Flyers in regulations. We will take care of them Sunday. Flyers must not make the playoffs!!!

WIN (IN REGULATION)

Lets finish them.

Depressing that we will be facing the Rags in the 1st round, but I guess the playoffs are a whole different beast.

A win in regulation by you guys, a Caps win, and 1 more Bruin win puts the Flyers away even if they beat my team Sunday. Gary Roberts return.

I'm going to the game with a Flyer fan friend of mine (yuck). I am sitting in section 222. All I have heard about this place is horror stories for visiting fans. Should I honestly be scared and not even wear my jersey?

You'll be fine, wear your jersey with pride. Just don't act like an idiot and they'll leave you alone. You can cheer for the Devils, but DON'T act like you just won the cup when we score, or if we win!

Fingers are crossed.

Mine too, buddeh

Devils didn't get any help with their playoff clinch, and it doesn't look like they're going to get any help clinching home ice. Time to go out tonight and win that themselves!

This is pretty close to a must-win for Philadelphia. Washington's last game will be against a Florida team on the second night of a back to back, you have to figure they'll win that one. And it looks like the Capitals will have the first tiebreaker (wins), so Philly has to beat them outright - which means they need to win both of their remaining games. So we should see a pretty desperate team tonight.

You'll be fine, wear your jersey with pride. Just don't act like an idiot and they'll leave you alone. You can cheer for the Devils, but DON'T act like you just won the cup when we score, or if we win!In other words don't at like the 10,000 Ranger fans at NVMC last night. Yes it was 10,000 I was there!:amazed::shakeheadbtw Let's kill the Flyers!!!:naughty:

Mine too, buddeh

Your not my buddy friend!!!

As much as I hate the Flyers if they do make the playoffs Marty has the Hart in the bag.

We should win in overtime...

Haha! Why do you fear the Rangers? We will beat them in 4. There is no doubt about this. It is already established. Do you doubt the power of Brodeur? Shame on you.

You're not my guy, buddeh!!!!!

Dude, I guess you have a point there.

Why does Marty have the Hart in the bag? I love Marty, but right now, the Hart goes to AO, especially if they make the playoffs.

He'd have the Hart in the bag if Philly made the playoffs, that means he's thinking Washington will miss and the B's and Flyers will get in. Lets end the Flyers tonight, that will be hilarious.

Yeah...it would just make there fans hate us and Marty more than they already do! :thumbu:

Oh absolutely........what do I want more? A meaningless best player in the league trophy? (Which I believe he is whether he wins or not anyways cause I love him) or the Flyers missing the playoffs, and getting to watch Ovy play in the playoffs? I'll take the Flyers miss every time.

I laugh whenever a Ranger fan brings up that 05 Calder trophy because they're like "If it wasn't for Lundqvist coming in at the same time as Crosby and Ovechkin, he would have won the Calder" Well we can say the same thing, Marty could have won one hart, and possibly two if Crosby and Ovechkin weren't in the league because it looks like he's going to lose it to both of them one year after another lol.

On another note, Washington-Pittsburgh 1st round match up? The Cros v.s Ovy? That's what the NHL wants.

Nah, I'd rather AO and the Caps get the division and knock down Carolina!

And is it me, or are the Rangers fans getting really cocky?

I think Washington can take Pittsburgh though. It's funny isn't it? They jump from 8th to 3rd. We really need to win against Philly in regulation. I want them out, after all that talk of how improved they were and how Biron was going to win the Vezina after 10 games into the season, it would make me as happy as Luongo missing last night. What a goalie.

When have they not been cocky??

True brit....very very true!

I just saw someone post that if we play the Rangers in the 1st round that we're going to get swept.....

We can only hope our boys pull a big win out of there ***** against a desperate "bullies" team. If we can come away with a win and a clean bill of health, paint me happy.

It would be nice for results to go against Philly, we might even have "The War-room" on our side for tonights game. That is if the NHL wants to earn some money this offseason.

True brit....very very true!

I just saw someone post that if we play the Rangers in the 1st round that we're going to get swept.....

of course they are saying that. They were cocky even when we were on the streak from 98-01. Ask them about that...they'll tell you "Most of the games were ties" blah blah blah. Oh and of course they love to talk about 95. "It wasn't a full season, so it's not that big of a deal...blah blah blah"

True brit....very very true!

I just saw someone post that if we play the Rangers in the 1st round that we're going to get swept.....

At this point it wouldnt surprise me. :(

I think its all going to come down to goaltending and clutch goal scoring. Its a series that will be too tough to call.

That would be a terrific series and I'm all for seeing Ovie in the playoffs. :)

I agree and luck seems to just be against us. Hopefully we'll be able to regroup and beat them, but who knows. :(

I hope we win tonight! My boss is a Flyer's fan and I would like nothing better to make him sad.

Would love to see the Caps beat the crap out of the Penguins. They are becoming my second favorite team especially now that I'm in Maryland and get all their local feed.

True brit....very very true!

I just saw someone post that if we play the Rangers in the 1st round that we're going to get swept.....

I gotta tell you... in 2k6 when we swept them... before the series started I was so freakin' nervous about playing them. I don't understand how they can want to play us. Theres very few teams I would want to play against right now.

Honestly...I already think I'm going to vomit if we have to play them.

I hate the flyers more than any other team. I never want to see them in the playoffs. Having the Flyers miss the playoffs would be perfect. screw them.



Marty deserves the Hart because with out him this year, we finish about 12th in the east.

yup. I agree. I don't think I'll be able to watch.

I'm gonna enjoy us crushing the Rangers like a bug.

I hope we win tonight because I'm a devs fan and like it when they win. Of course the only team that I enjoy watching them beat more than the flyers is the rags.

yup. I agree. I don't think I'll be able to watch.

Hahaha...I would never miss a game! But that's not to say I won't be sitting there watching it like I do with scary movies! Hands over the face with the fingers spread a little apart....

I'm gonna enjoy us crushing the Rangers like a bug.

If you are right, I will be ecstatic. :)

Hahaha...I would never miss a game! But that's not to say I'll be sitting there watching it like I do with scary movies! Hands over the face with the fingers spread a little apart....

that's how I have watched all the games against the Rags this year. I just hate the way it makes my stomach nervous...like someone is about to jump up and kill me. It's good being a diehard fan, but sometimes it's hard. lol

If you are right, I will be ecstatic. :)

Well, Marty's pride will be on the line. I don't think he's gonna let queen henrik beat him.

Plus you know Lundqvist folds under pressure. Lets see what his excuse this time is.

Well, Marty's pride will be on the line. I don't think he's gonna let queen henrik beat him.

I hope not, but he always feels that way and we haven't got their number yet. But as we all say, playoffs are completely different.

I work with a Rangers fan who's son used to play with Marty's son. Marty always used to tell him before games against the Rangers, "Well, I'm off to beat your team." Here's hoping we do it Sunday and if we meet in the playoffs.

what are the chances we can draw someone else? Isn't it slim to none?

It depends on what Ottawa does. If Ottawa wins tonight and the Rangers lose, then they would swap places.

And then that would mean we'd have to beat the Rangers on Sunday because tonight is Ottawa's last game.

It would be an "act of god" for the Rangers to lose to the Sound Tigers tonight. :shakehead


Like a semi to a wall, is how we need to go into this. We are gonna make these two teams like I like my shrimp, "battered". F the Rangers, F the flyers, Lets get this done! :thumbu:

Ottawa is one team that is hot and cold right now. Its like a sleeping giant. They have very very good offense but lousy defense. It probably is better for our style this year to play them. Unlike last year, we have gotten bigger and our system has changed slightly. We're actually better matched up to Ottawa than the Rangers.

I think if we want to beat the Rangers, we are going have to change our system slightly. They know our playing style too well because of Gomez. We need to capitalize on their familiarity and use breakouts that is counter intuitive to what they are used to seeing with us.

A win tonight would be impressive with the Flyers playing for their lives. The Devils will have to hold on for the first 5 to 10 minutes and if they do and stay out of the box, we have a shot. I would be happy with a point, but I like Philly to win tonight, unless they come out and play careless and out of control hockey.

Amen to that F the Flyers and Rangers. We should focus on the task at hand and beat the Flyers and sink them. I don´t care if we face the Rangers in the 1st round. Actually, it will be great! REdemption for that humiliation during the reg season. One more thing, don´t cheer for the Senators to overtake the Rangers, I am scared of the Sens. Their offense would crush us like last season.

I don't mind playing the Rangers. My worry his that they have a great PK and we don't as of late and our PP is nothing to write home about, while their's seem to have woken up. Actually, that's a concern for any match up the Devils have.

Elias needs to neutralize Gomez on his breakouts. I wouldn't say match 'em line for line, but I think Elias is the best match for Gomez. He's a better all around player. I remember Gomez tried his little end to end in the last game and Elias was all over him, not fooled whatsoever

Well as Devils fans....we better be down on our knees praying!!




Nonsense. They better be praying. "KILL THEM!"

it's a good idea since they played together and still have some of that "I know where he is" mentality.

The good thing is, their PP sucks too.

Breaking them down with size is one strategy, though I think they match us for size so its really not that great of an advantage.

We really just need to change the location of our breakout to capitalize on their familiarity. For example... We always have a headman positioned halfway up just past the side boards of the neutral zone. Instead of going up straight why not change it so our guys pass cross ice instead? You notice when they play us, they put their guys right there on the side to anticipate our passes, theres nobody in the middle.

Or we could just have Martin, Oduya or Elias carry it all the way up the ice Gomez style. I know they can do it.

Thats a good idea too, but we'll have to enter through the middle of the ice, they got the sides covered.

all the rangers need to do is score one goal against us and sit back b/c the devils obviously can't score againts the rags!

On behalf of all Bruins fans, here's to hoping the Devils and Bruins can both win tonight and send the Flyers packing.

Go Devils :handclap:

lol - i completely understand. i'm just asking that the devils do their part and beat the broad street ******s.

Go Devils!!!

Your turn to shut the door a little further on the goons...

Should be a playoff-like game tonight. The Flyers and their fans are gonna be pumped and we still have to learn how to play a good 60 minutes before the playoff starts. Plus, I want to lock up home ice tonight and not have to decide it on Sunday.

Go Devils!

:devdance:LETS GO DEVILS!!:devdance:

Please win in regulation!!!

I want to see some murder on those Flyers!

Devils Die Tonite.....No hope for your Mighty Midgets

Devils Die Tonite.....No hope for your Mighty Midgets

I bet you get shivers in the pants area for posting crap like that.

Yeah lets all bow down to the Mighty, Mighty, 9th place Flyers. :shakehead

Is the game on MSG Plus or the stupid overflow channel MSG Plus-2?
If Cablevision puts the islanders feed on MSG Plus and bounces us over to the overflow channel it would be yet another disgrace by Cablevision.
The Isles-Rags game is already on MSG with the Raggies feed.

Philly's season is on the line tonight. They should be pumped big time and very desperate. The Devs must be ready to play from the opening faceoff to have a chance. If they withstand the first 10-12 minutes and play smart hockey it could be a good night.

Good news, the game tonight is on MSG+.

Earlier in the week, the Star Ledger said that the game was going to be on the overflow, which I was absolutely incensed about, but it looks like the folks at MSG decided to wise up and give us the game. I wouldn't have been able to watch it tonight if it was on the overflow.

BTW, for those out of market folks it should be noted that tonight game is on the NHL Network and not on Center Ice.

BTW, have you guys noticed that on Cablevision all of the Center Ice channels have been unblocked this week because of the free baseball preview? I watched the Caps game last night!

LEts go devils,

hmm...

It's been awhile since Brodeur has a shutout.. its this like his longest drought, it REALLY seems like it. :shakehead

Devils Die Tonite.....No hope for your Mighty Midgets

I should of brought a blanket. Your posts give us all ****** chills.

Shhhhhhh!

Thank you for that... I would have been scrambling around come game time.

Good Luck tonight. Please beat the Flyers...I don't want them in the Playoffs.

From a Bruin's fan ...

BTW, for those out of market folks it should be noted that tonight game is on the NHL Network and not on Center Ice.

awesome! I get to watch the game in HD!

Philly is going down. Go Devs!

Beat those dirty, stinkin', cheap-shottin' Flyers tonight!

Beat those dirty, stinkin', cheap-shottin' Flyers tonight!

we're all hoping for that result, but it will be a tough game in their barn.

A win would make me very happy.. Home ice 1st round and that much closer to the Caps making it..

Unfortunately I'll prob be stuck having to watch the Rags game @ work

Guh, it's not on Center Ice tonight or NHL Network. I am confused.

If we win tonight with Marty in goal, and the Rangers win tonight against the Islanders, can we play Kevin Weekes against the Rangers in the final game of the season?

I hope we can win tonight without anyone getting hurt. It may be a good game to sit Andy Greene and dress Vitaly Vishnevski. I wanna lay a hurt on Philly before they try to hurt us!

Anyone have Jimmy Dowd down for a goal tonight? I am taking gentlemen's bets. ;)


I HATE THE FLYERS AND ALWAYS WILL!!! :rant:

Definitely looking forward to a Flyers loss tonight. Hopefully Marty plays beast mode tonight..

http://www.northjersey.com/sports/devils/Brodeur_goes_over_the_hill.html

Brodeur has said several times this season that he believes he plays better when he plays more often. Long layoffs, such as the one for the All-Star break this season, seem to take him out of his rhythm.\


Finally somebody else confirms what I've been saying. Let Marty play.

Um, so does this mean I have no way of watching this ****en game? I have center ice online...I can expect a blackout of the game?

LEts go devils,

hmm...

It's been awhile since Brodeur has a shutout.. its this like his longest drought, it REALLY seems like it. :shakehead

"Awwwwwww, there it goes!!"

Um, so does this mean I have no way of watching this ****en game? I have center ice online...I can expect a blackout of the game?

Yup, and theres nothing you can do about it. I called Center Ice the last time this happened and they pretty much told me I'm screwed. At the time NHL network was not available in my area.

I'm so glad I picked it up. it only cost me $5 more on my plan and I get FSN north, FSN west and FSN south too, which lets me see some College and highschool hockey.

It's on NHL Network tonight.

Vishnevski with a hat trick and two deaths.

Book it.

4-2 devs, DO WORK BOYS!!!!!!! Lets Go Devils!!!!!

666-1 Devils we'll have to score 11.1 goals every minute.

God I'd love to beat those ****ers from Philly tonight! I hate them almost as much as the Rangers and I'd love to put out their lights tonight!

They went out and got all of these high priced free agents and I'd love to see them miss the playoffs again!

LET'S GO DEVILS!!

I thought we agreed on a rule that people who mention the s word would be ignored! That way it doesn't become a jinx!

If you see it, just ignore it! Don't quote the poster who said it.

haha im down for that, however i do not think it would happen unless we got miro satan on this team.:sarcasm:



I completely agree about people mentioning the S word, stop it, it seriously is the worst jinx anyone could put on a team.

Looks back at the Rags game when one of the commentators mentioned the S word. Not even 30 seconds later. You know what happened:shakehead

can watch the game at happy hour at the bar tonight..yesss

Looks back at the Rags game when one of the commentators mentioned the S word. Not even 30 seconds later. You know what happened:shakehead

That was Steve ****in Cangialosi, I wanted to choke him.

A regulation win tonight would basically eliminate them, as Boston isnt going to lose twice and the Caps arent going to lose in regulation. How sweet would that be? It's hysterical how after 10 games this season many of their fans were already celebrating a Stanley Cup Championship. :shakehead

off topic here but really funny. Me and my friend were coming up with gary bettman jokes on why nhl ratings were low and how bettman has killed the game and put it on such channels as outdoor life network even though the game is not played out doors. So we came up with possiblities on how gary bettman will decide to change the game next.

Gary Bettman: "What do the words, Oh My God, you killed Kenny, mean to you guys?" NHL Guy: "Ken Daneyko was killed?" NHL Guy 2: "No, idiot, he was on MSG Plus the other night. Obviously Kenny Jonsson was." Gary Bettman: "No morons! It's a line from South Park. What's important about South Park?" NHL Guy: "Ooooh, we're trying to get more Jewish players." NHL Guy 2: "We need more token black players?" Gary Bettman: "NO! It shows that hockey in animation sells! The episode where Stan's team faced the Redwings had very high ratings. Now all we have to do is animate the real Redwings!" NHL Guy 1 and 2 at the same time: "Gary, you've done it again!"



NHL Guy: "Guys, we need a new way to attract viewers." Bettman: "What about giving the puck a glow?" NHL Guy 2 "Been there, done that." Gary Bettman: "What about adding a third team in Florida?" NHL Guy 1: "Probably not a good idea since no one goes to watch the Panthers and Lightning." Gary Bettman: "I got it! We have the games played as usual, and then using modern day technology, we animate them afterwards and have them shown on Cartoon Network! Fans do love cartoons, don't they?" NHL Guy 1 and 2 at same time: "Gary, you've done it again!"

This game will be on live TV here, so that's nice. A win win wuold be nice too.

Go Devils!

Unfotunatly i had to watch that game off the rags feed, but yes we should stricken the S word from any further use!

Best of luck to you guys tonight. IT should be a GREAT game to watch!

A win tonight would be so so sweet.

Best of luck to you guys tonight. IT should be a GREAT game to watch!


Your mother drives a pink car. BOOOOO get out of here!

I don't know if blackout restrictions would occur if you guys are in the NY/NJ area, but the game is being broadcasted on Yahoo.

Go to a Sports Bar with Directv. It will be on channel 215 (which is the NHL Network but remember the channel number).

I don't know if blackout restrictions would occur if you guys are in the NY/NJ area, but the game is being broadcasted on Yahoo.

I'm not, I'm in MD.
Most people with Center ice got it cause they are out of that area.

LOL I only saw the first part of that. Nice use of the enter key cause you definetly had me for a second. By the way guys well done avys (not that I like them but the photoshop work on them is good ;))

should be a good one tonight, this will be the first game i will actually be somewhat relaxed so im kinda lookin forward to it :handclap:

Just had to say Lets Go Devils!

WIN (IN REGULATION)

I don't get it? (The picture that is)

Well, Marty's pride will be on the line. I don't think he's gonna let queen henrik beat him.

Plus you know Lundqvist folds under pressure. Lets see what his excuse this time is.

The second Lundqvist loses a game, Rosen will be there to say "Well...uh...Lundqvist's cat has been sick, so that's probably why he let 6 in tonight."

Win...ftw!!!

As much as it pains me to say it, Go Devs! :yo:

I looked yesterday, and it is not on the Center Ice. Games that areon NHL Network are not on the CI (at least with Dish Network)

Seems like the fans of the entire Atlantic Division are on the Devils' side tonight.

LETS KNOCK OUT THE FLOPPERS!!!!

Boys..please do the honours...destroy Philly.

Seems like the fans of the entire Eastern Conference are on the Devils' side tonight.

LETS KNOCK OUT THE FLOPPERS!!!!

Fixed it for you:D

I have pure hatred for the Flyers is why, and I think the Devs and Rangers are on a playoff collision course no matter what, so as I said Lets Go Devils. :handclap:

damn, you know the Flyers are in tough when Ranger fans are willing to sacrifice home ice against the Devils to see Philly out of the playoffs.


enjoy the game ladies and gents; it'll be a playoff atmosphere.


good luck & maybe we'll see you in the Conference Final (haha, not likely, I know)

No lineup changes tonight according to TG.

Hold onto your hats guys and gals.

I want someone to install a slingbox and give me the ip address so I can watch the pre-game and post-game shows during the playoffs... I never get to see any of them on center ice or nhln.... :cry:

Seriously, if I was a Rangers fan I'd be hardcore rooting for the Flyers tonight.

But I'm not, so go Devils! :devdance:

We don't really NEED this win, but a 5 game streak going into the playoffs is what we do NEED. The Rangers game will probably be a preview of Round 1.

To be an optimist, we haven't beat them once, but every game has been close. It's not like we get run over every game.

Go Devs :handclap:

Let's do this boys!!!

GO DEVILS!!

Wow, its loud there.

Damn, Marty, that's a good way to quiet the crowd.

HA take that flygirls SUPERMAN!!!!

wake up devils

At least we know Marty showed up today.

I want someone to install a slingbox and give me the ip address so I can watch the pre-game and post-game shows during the playoffs... I never get to see any of them on center ice or nhln.... :cry:

I bought some knock off sling box type thing a while back, haven't tried it out yet, but I will try and mess around with it tonight now that you mention it.

And damnit the game feed sucks ass too, what the hell.

Bah, it's quitting time, I'll listen in the car on the way home. Talk to you guys after the first.

LET'S GO DEVILS!

We're going to get pummelled if we don't warm to the task here.

Huge difference in motivation here. They really, really, really want to win.

The only equalizer is Biron.

We're going to get pummelled if we don't warm to the task here.
I would have been SHOCKED if the Devils weren't on their heels to start the game. Flyers season is on the line here.

Need to pick it up.

bound to happen :shakehead

****.

Crap.

Its ok let them get a goal maybe it will calm them the hell down.

i think mottau put it in :shakehead

Mhmm. Beer.

Great, taking a penalty will improve things :shakehead

Great, taking a penalty will improve things :shakehead

Not like there PP is that good anyway. They do give us a lot of SH chances.

God damn it. Great a penalty and down a goal early

If they're going to lose this one, I would rather it be quick. Weekes should be playing anyway, so, if it gets him in there, it gets him in there.

This game means too much for the Flyers and not enough for the Devils.

Complete domination, and this crowd is definetly not helping. Sutter better tell the boys to get physical.

I hope this 3 game winning streak didn't give us a false sense of hope. We haven't exactly played well in any of those games and didn't once win a game in regulation. My confidence isn't much higher than it was during the 5 game losing streak.

come on this is ******** they are getting dominated, and once again mottau sucking ass w/ great coverage on hartnell

Per the Comcast-stream: Flyers are .75 when scoring the first goal...

yup i was right, the moron mottau put it in :shakehead

Nice Mottau...:shakehead

Being a Sabres fan, I'm getting all confused every time you guys say "Marty" ;)

Go Devils and get a few shots in on Upshall while you're at it.

Not like there PP is that good anyway. They do give us a lot of SH chances.

What the **** are you talking about? They're second in the league.

There's confidence, and then there's just idiocy.

Madden with a nice play on the pk.

I'm going to be honest, I didn't give two about the Bruins game and I don't give that much more about this one.

I don't think you can rationally expect to win this game.

Vish with a nice hit...

Per the Comcast-stream: Flyers are .75 when scoring the first goal...
I think they're wrong. NHL.com stats says they're .659 when scoring 1st. In the bottom half of the league, actually.

Lundqvist is in, so he's either going 3 in 4 or they don't give a **** either.

Carolina 1-0, too. If they win, they're in.

I'm going to be honest, I didn't give two about the Bruins game and I don't give that much more about this one.

Yeah man. At least someone doesn't wanna be ***** slapped all game. We might kill Upshall tonight.

I think they're wrong. NHL.com stats says they're .659 when scoring 1st. In the bottom half of the league, actually.

Plus how many times they score the first goal on us and we just end up winning anyway :biglaugh:

I have a gut feeling that this team doesnt know how to turn their dial up. this game should be a practice playoff game, and the devs look lost.

We have to start playing Devils hockey, not Flyers fans type of hockey..

Plus how many times they score the first goal on us and we just end up winning anyway :biglaugh:
Devils have one of the best scoring percentages when allowing the first goal, .415, good for fourth in the league.

Haha Vish.

:shakehead

You don't understand the difference between playing for your life and playing out the string with a carrot dangling in front of you.

I checked out for the regular season when they beat the Isles.

Devils have one of the best scoring percentages when allowing the first goal, .415, good for fourth in the league.

Marty... BIRON always give us a chance(s) to win!

where the holding call, :shakehead

Okposo jumps the Rangers. 1-0.

I don't think you can rationally expect to win this game.

Why would you not think you can win? Us Sabres fans thought we could beat the Habs last night. Now that, was not rational :sarcasm:

Go Devils, get Biron off his game and he'll have his typical meltdown.

We're the Devils, in Philly.. Thats automatically two strikes against us. GO ISLES!!!

Haha, the Flyers propaganda ;)

Okposo jumps the Rangers. 1-0.

GO ISLES!

Rupp bringing the puck into the offense zone is a thing of beauty:shakehead

John Madden should have more goals than Ovechkin this year.

Lets toy with them and then crush them at last possible min :)

OT: Panthers up 2-1 on the Canes....looking good for the Washington Ovechkins

You HAD to win, though. :) Just like the Flyers HAVE to win.

Using the same logic, Sabres had to win and didn't.
Philly must follow suit :yo:

I love hockey:thumbu:

Whoa. Florida with 2. 2-1 Cats.

the devils system is ****ing pathetic, they should take notes of the flyers system and play it. the devils let the other team break out so eaily its ridiculous and look at the devils in the zone if the puck goes somewhere half the time there isnt even a guy there and the other team just goes out. its horrible get a hard forecheck in and make it hard on the other teams dmen, youd be suprised how little defense you sacrifice and the devils d is all marty anyways. either way this game is a joke and the devils are getting embarassed :shakehead

I don't even have to mention the Cups.

Take it easy its the first period.

Thats why hes our true captain. Nothing against Langs... (I have alot of love for him too, but come on.)

Were not getting embarassed, and what did you honestly expect? Flyers are playing for their lives while this game really isnt that important for the Devils. Even if we lose as long as we dont lose in regulation to the Rags we will still get home ice advantage.

Rangers are playing like warmed over dog ****, but the Isles screw up a 2 on 1 and the Rags get one back, they go on the PP.

OT: Panthers up 2-1 on the Canes....looking good for the Washington Ovechkins

I thought about this one ALL day. It would actually be better for the Canes to win this last game (get 84 pts), still have the Caps win (84 pts) if you want to keep Philly the h3ll out.

Can you tell I don't like Philly?! It goes all the way back to the 75 Cup game against my Sabres.

Go Devils.


Hope you guys don't mind be buttin' in to your GDT :)

Period ends with some pushing and shoving. White and Smith jaw at each other.

wow i cant believe sutter picked these lines to stick with they blow the top line is horrible...........

Ur getting a little crazy calm down :)

Cheer up.

Yeah, tell me about it. It's Friday, the team's in the playoffs, it's only 1-0 in the first and yet it's the end of the world for some people. All this negativity is why a lot of people stay out of the GDT's. This is a board for hockey fans, not an anger management class.

We better get some quality shots in the second. This is painful to watch

Jagr 2008 botches a chance that Jagr 2007 or Jagr 2006 would have scored on.

Were not getting embarassed, and what did you honestly expect? Flyers are playing for their lives while this game really isnt that important for the Devils. Even if we lose as long as we dont lose in regulation to the Rags we still got home advantage.

Thats the **** that always pissed me off... They've been a very very good team for over a decade. They're in the NHL. Thats what they dream about from childhood. Theres never a reason not to care. You're living the dream and getting paid for it. Respect it!

Hope you guys don't mind be buttin' in to your GDT :)

Not at all, just watch out for the rage-a-holics.

it doesnt matter this isnt a new thing the system that they play is just horrendous. its so frustrating watching, and pando holds back gionta and madden if he was moved off that line it could be a very dangerous line.

Flyers cant score themselves anyway so no worries its only 1-0

Especially since it's not the most meaningful game in Devils history and is a very important game for the Flyers.

Wow u didnt just say that lol

well that period totally sucked....if we had any offense we'd be up by a goal or two..

Why can't Madden finish on clear cut chances, but somehow manages to score really tough, weird looking goals often?

Marty kept us in this one...hopefully they can pick it up in the 2:nd.

Mottau-Devils 1-0.....:shakehead

Flyers cant score themselves anyway so no worries its only 1-0

Whaaaaa????

Yes. Anyone who says this team doesn't care about winning so called "worthless games" don't understand the first thing about athletes, coaches, or the Devils as an organization. Making excuses for losses that haven't happened yet is pathetic.

Another person that doesn't understand the difference in motivation. Neither team are robots and the Devils are not an elite team of killers. You've known that all year.

Do you understand what they're playing for? 1 game. The difference between 4th and 5th is 1 game, 7th game of the first round. Otherwise, there is no difference whatsoever.

The Flyers are playing for their lives, to get into the playoffs and to salvage their season, at home.

Who do you think has the advantage?

This is a board for hockey fans,

Good then. I'm in the right place.
I can sit back and watch without fearing Miller letting in another softie. I'm relaxed, I'm all good. I am a hockey fan.

Can I get anyone something to drink? :D

1) Comcast blows.

2) Aside from the PK break 2-1; what do we have 3 shots on goal?

3) 6 turnovers at our own blue line.

4) No emotion... this is for home ice right?

5) We scored on ourselves... again.

6) Weak call on Asham but no call on the hold that twisted our guy to the ice behind our own net and let to a turnover and shot on goal? Refs at it again... (not to mention the hold on Elias in their zone when he was taken by 2 guys at once).

7) It can only get better at this point... unless the war room gets involved.

http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/00/92/22619200.jpg

LOL, Dubie makes a save on Dubinsky and Rosen is still tounge-tied. Good 4 on 4 for the Rags but they go out to lunch again and Lundqvist got run a bit.

1-0 Isles after one.

Thats the **** that always pissed me off... They've been a very very good team for over a decade. They're in the NHL. Thats what they dream about from childhood. Theres never a reason not to care. You're living the dream and getting paid for it. Respect it!

I don't like it either but I'm just being realistic. Im not saying they dont want to win, just not as much as the Flyers.

Whaaaaa????

:biglaugh:

shhhhh just go with it that was Mott's goal :biglaugh:

Good then. I'm in the right place.
I can sit back and watch without fearing Miller letting in another softie. I'm relaxed, I'm all good. I am a hockey fan.

Can I get anyone something to drink? :D

Well a 12 pack would be nice.

Another person that doesn't understand the difference in motivation. Neither team are robots and the Devils are not an elite team of killers. You've known that all year.

Do you understand what they're playing for? 1 game. The difference between 4th and 5th is 1 game, 7th game of the first round. Otherwise, there is no difference whatsoever.

The Flyers are playing for their lives, to get into the playoffs and to salvage their season, at home.

Who do you think has the advantage?

We've owned them all season. If i was getting pushed around, and out played, it would light a fire under my ass. Advantages are ****. Any team could win any night. I don't feel the Flyers have one. If we were playing the rags, maybe. Got i hate to admit that. We need to come out in the second and repay tham back. Be physical. Don't take any ****. We need a reason to silence this crowd. Biron is our *****. Lets come out, and shut them the **** up!
