2009-10 Flyers Season Thread

[SD]

They talked about it during the game. You could see Carcillo pointing to the refs saying he bit me.

On a side note: The versus announcers were by far the worst announcers of any game I have ever listened to anywhere at anytime.

[PhillyGirl]

They were brutal.

[smeags]

it's been rumored that savard likes hard fleshy things in his mouth, i guess not during a game though.

[SD]

They were brutal.

I'd also like to reiterate the refs have called a good series. Penalties have been evenly called and they've cut down on the ticky tack shtein. Again, it's night and day when neither team has a superstar, it's like the NBA to a lesser degree...primarily because in hockey they take shifts.

That being said, the Versus announcers crying about Carcillo nailing Savard and not getting a penalty was ridiculously dumb. When a goalie has a puck in his glove and a forward wails his glove with his stick you punch the motherfarger in the face. These are unwritten rules in hockey and I'm glad the refs recognized this and assessed a penalty like they did.

they were brutal because the color guy was andy brickley who is the bruins color man with jack edwards...we all know about jack edwards...but brickley is his right hand man and a disgraceful homer in his own right

even allowing him to do the game is beyond me...basically imagine being a bruin fan and versus has coatsy do the color last night

joe b on the play by play is ok but he slowly morphing into another emerick

[Seabiscuit36]

yeah, how the farg they put that crew together amazed me.  They love doing it though with Benniati/Doc and now NESN guys giving them their own games.  And IGY is right about Brickley, Edwards gets most of the NESN blame, but Brickley is worse.  The color guys are normally idiots, Brickley makes JJ look impartial

50 minutes until BSB....cant wait...hollaration

50 minutes until BSB....cant wait...hollaration

Backstreet Boys? I knew there was something wrong with you. 

[rjs246]

Is that what BSB stands for? I mean, I went through a couple of things that it could be in my head and had a hard time believing that that was it...

[Drunkmasterflex]

It would explain a lot wouldn't it?

[rjs246]

I don't have enough psychology degrees to answer that question.

CSN New England

Mike Richards -- who nearly ruined the season of Florida's David Booth early in the year with a borderline hit that caused a serious concussion - - had his own gentlemanly message as Savard entered the penalty box, a threat heard by more than one person within earshot on the ice at the time.

"You were out for six weeks?" yelled Richards toward the penalty box, referring to Savard's career-threatening concussion. "We'll put you out for another six weeks."

Savard of course was doing plenty of chirping on the ice himself to get things that heated, but that's the level the Flyers have stooped to after two games in which the B's found answers for every one of Philly's questions.

[Munson]

God.

[PhillyGirl]

Savard said that never happened.

According to one report, the Flyers' Mike Richards was overheard yelling to Savard while he was in the penalty box that Philadelphia planned on putting him out another six weeks, referring to Savard's six-week hiatus due to a Grade 2 concussion.

"He never said that to me," Savard said Tuesday. "I don't know where that came from."

Conspiracy?

CONSPIRACY!
