PS: The NFL has ties so shut your filthy whore mouth, Mosy. 

i knew someone would bring that up...ties are so rare, not even comparable to the situation the NHL was in when they had ties

Sean Avery still needs to die screaming.

Yeah but the 5 (or 6?) OT game against Pitt in the playoffs a few years ago was pretty awesome.

[SunMo]

that was the playoffs, not the regular season, and it also wasn't a tie


basically it has nothing to do with the conversation

[Rome]

THIS BITCH MUST DIE SCREAMING!

lundquist > biron
'
thus

rangers > flyers

it pains me because i want to see everyone in new york burn.

[ice grillin you]

really good game last night...sad to see it have to end in a cheesy ass shootout...i agree with everyone that they are unbelievably awful...doesnt help that the flyers dont have team that is shootout freindly...jagr wasnt even in the rangers first three...that pretty much showed the main difference in the two teams

its great tho to see the flyers competitive this year against the division rivals...that 0-8 last year to the penguins was really sad...in the end the rangers are simply a lot more talented than the flyers but damn the flyers play hard and never give up...just wish they had another finisher or two

Gawd is a humble Gawd.

Richards says he is no all-star

By Tim Panaccio

Inquirer Staff Writer
A look at the NHL All-Star Game ballot reveals no surprises. Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley are on it, along with four Flyers, led by Danny Briere.

But no Mike Richards?

"There are more people worthy to be there than me," the Flyers center said yesterday, blushing.

There's little doubt that Richards has been the Flyers' best player this season - and maybe the NHL's best-kept secret. He is 18th in the league in scoring with 21 points.

Because of his reputation as a third-line checking forward - whose role was reversed this season - his name wasn't ballot material in October when the list was compiled. He's not all-star material in the strictest sense.

"If you look at [my] points, they are power-play and shorthanded," Richards said. "The real offensive players score a lot five-on-five. I mean, it's an All-Star Game. I would not consider myself an all-star. I am not a skilled-enough player in the league to start in that game anyway."

Some fans believe otherwise. Two Web sites are pushing for Richards as a write-in for the Jan. 27 game: votemikerichards.com and voteformike08.com.

"Is he running it?" Briere asked, smiling.

Richards wishes the sites were taken down, as he is genuinely embarrassed. "I don't know anything about it; I don't even know how the all-star ballot is picked," he said.

He's that humble.

"He just goes about his game and goes about being ready to play very casually," Flyers captain Jason Smith said. "He's someone who does not like the limelight."

Has the 22-year-old progressed to all-star material?

"To be in his class, the way he is performing, not many guys can do that," Briere said. "If it keeps going, there's no doubt in my mind he will be in the game."

Winger Simon Gagne, goalie Martin Biron, and defenseman Kimmo Timonen join Briere on the official ballot.

"The fact that Mike is not on there right now doesn't mean he is going to be lost or forgotten," Stevens said. "If he continues to play the way he has been playing and does the things he's done to this point, he'll definitely get some consideration."

The truth is, Richards would rather be ice fishing in his native Kenora, Ontario, or basking in the sun in the Caribbean than competing with the Crosbys and Brieres in the game in Atlanta.

"The All-Star Game is a way to showcase talent in the league where you get skill players to do things you wouldn't normally get to see in a normal game," Richards insisted. "And the players that should be there are the ones who can give the fans a show."

The devils own Biron and the Flyers.  The only good thing to come out of the game was Stevens finally moved Upshall over to Richards line.  And they produced 2 goals.

That would be tricky, since I'm in Bucks County.
