Let's just hope that Giroux doesn't end up with Forsberg's feet.

JVR had an assist during the 7OT lacrosse game but otherwise he looked like a big goon just standing around most of the game. Amazing end to that one. New Hampshire scored with .1 left to send it to OT, then won 30 seconds in.

Good job not getting embarrassed by the Islanders, asshats. A win tonight against Boston puts them 4 points back of the Devils...

Yeah they looked like shtein for most of 2 periods. But it's good to see their offense can explode at any time. 3 goals in a 2 and a half minute span.

I agree, I've watched some lacrosse before but that was the first time I really got into it. The last period and OT was great and as much fun as any hockey or football that I don't have a favorite team playing in.

Quote"We were not very good for whatever reason," said coach John Stevens, referring to the first two periods, when the Flyers fell behind, 2-0. "Give the Islanders credit. They worked hard. Their execution was crisp. . . . And I give credit to Mike Richards. I thought he took the game over. He addressed the team [between the second and third periods]. I didn't even go in after the second period. I left it up to the captains, and he's clearly the leader of the hockey team the way he played."

Munson · March 29, 2009, 04:33:49 PM

So basically, Richards is still God.

That article reminded me of the fights I forgot about. Asham's punch on Jackman was awesome, I was hoping after he got back up the refs would let it keep going because Asham was poised to strike again.

They need a goalie more because the two they have are mediocre as hell.

Ahem.

Tim Thomas was a farging superstar last night. A good goalie would be nice. On the other hand, is there another team in the league that gives up as many shots as the Flyers? Jesus.

Rome · March 30, 2009, 08:18:03 AM

The last goal that Nitty gave up was a back-breaker. The Flyers had all the momentum and he gives up a shtein goal like that? Awful.

And you're right - Thomas was ridiculous.
