3-1 Detroit
Those last 2 goals really sucked.
Ahhh well, ending was close. 3-2 Detroit.
Congrats Detroit. Were the better team and deserved the win.
It all comes back to the Flyers D tanking in front of him in that series,before that he was hotter then a rolling dice.Quote:

Pitts had the opp. but did not convert.
Good game all in all.
:appl:
NBA TIME!! :cool:
To a degree,I agree. But they really went totally in the tank in front of him. It was almost like they were giving up penalty shotsQuote:

I don't doubt that in that case it was the defense, but throughout his career Boucher has had moments of brilliance surrounded by long periods of mediocrity (at best). That, to me, speaks of a lack of focus/the proper mental make-up. The guy couldn't have set the shut-out streak records if he didn't have a great deal of skill, he just lacks the ability to be consistent and to actualize that skill for more than a few games at a time.Quote:

Talent can only take you so far, your brain has to be clear as well
I agree, consistency is the key.Quote:

Yeah, Pens were pretty outclassed the whole series. But that had those moments that made you think they just MIGHT be able to pull off the upset.Quote:

from what i saw they were outclassed pretty much everywhere, not just D.
