    As long as we have Nick Lidstrom and Brian Rafalski, our defensive corps is in the top 3 in the league, period.

    the only thing that really matters is who has the most points for the whole year amirite?
    I'm not saying otherwise. I just figured that the Islanders would have been higher up on that list for that certain time period.

    The Flyers have the best defense in the NHL and a lot of it has to do with their defensive forwards. The Flyers may not have the best player on D (although Pronger and Timonen are up there) but as a whole team, defensively they're the best in the league.

    as evidenced in the 7-0 loss to the Rangers on National T.V.
  • HOODSHOODS Posts: 41,866 destroyer of motherfuckers
    no, as evidence in being in 1st place in the east the entire season.

    that's cuz your goaltender has been a fucking brick wall all year. you guys prolly woulda won the cup last year if your coach didnt fail and have thomas sit on the bench. you have a decent D, but kudos to your goaltender, without him, yooz would be alot further down in the standings.
  • HOODSHOODS Posts: 41,866 destroyer of motherfuckers
    the flyers have decent goaltending, their goalies step up wehn needed, but their D is the main reason theyre in 1st place. I have all the confidence in the world in both our goalies, i think they handle the situation well sharinng the net and they both are willing to sit out and let the hot hand take over. no egos between our goalies. i still have no idea hooz gonna be the goalie in the playoffs, i guess who ever's hotter. they young kid BOB has been terrific, heez athletic, quick, and agile, but Boosh has also been a solid rock in net for us all year and i like the fact that heez older and has been in this situation before and wont get rattled, and heez prolly desperate for a cup, we'll see who gets the call when the time comes, i'm good either way. i trust laviolette.

    i didn't fuckin say that, i said you have a decent D. your goalie is just terrific. throw in some bum to play goalie and see how good they are, without thomas, yooz would make the playoffs, but wouldnt be a cupcontender, with thomas, yooz have a chance to win it all.

    I think the B's team D is better than you are giving them credit for. A typical game, the B's D allows half the shots that they take. Thomas does make great saves, but the number of shots on him are way down
  • HOODSHOODS Posts: 41,866 destroyer of motherfuckers
    John why u mad brah? I'm showering your goalie with compliments and i said you had a decent D. the truth is without Thomas, youz wouldn't be as good. Chara is great, seidenberg and boychuck are decent, kaberle was a nice pickup, but without a goalie as good as thomas, youz wouldnt be cup contenders.
  • laurjohn2laurjohn2 Posts: 6,951 balls deep
    i'm not mad...just don't see how you are saying that the Flyers have the best D in the league, when they give up more goals and shots than the B's
  • HOODSHOODS Posts: 41,866 destroyer of motherfuckers
    i just explained, you have the better goal tender, and the flyers system is more of an attacking system, so the other team has more oddman rushed against us. with a great D and great D forwards, you casn afford to go on the attack. i know boston's system is more of a sit back and wait, then attack. Boston has a D first mentality.

    Let me just ask you one question? would you trade your 5-6 Dmen, for the Flyers 5-6 Dmen?
  • laurjohn2laurjohn2 Posts: 6,951 balls deep
    no...Chara is the best d-man in the game, and i am not a fan of Pronger
  • HOODSHOODS Posts: 41,866 destroyer of motherfuckers
    I said your 5 and 6 Dmen? not the whole D. and chara's not the best Dman in the game, Lidstrom is, then Pronger, then Chara. when Chara lifts a cup, then we'll talk.

    ... and if Pronger wasn't on my team, i wouldnt be a fan of him either cause he kicks the shit out of opposing offenses. every team he played on went to the cup finals.
