ESPN picks against the Flyers again

I am not suprised they are all haters,,,, they had a poll the begining of the playoffs montrel had 77 percent of the votes to win the cup go figure...

U SAY THE PENS ARENT THE BETTER TEAM? I THINK LAST YR WE SWEPT THE SERIES 8-0! I LOVE U PHILLY FANS WHO GET THESE BIG HEADS WHEN UR TEAM OVER ACHIEVES. WASHINGTON GAVE U ALL U COULD HANDLE AND THEY HAD ONE GOOD PLAYER. MONTREAL HAD A ROOKIE GOALTENDER. WE'RE LOADED WITH TALENT UP AND DOWN OUR ROSTER AND FLEURY IS FAR FROM A ROOKIE. ON PAPER WE R THE BETTER TEAM! WITH THAT SAID U DONT WIN ON PAPER BUT U GUY'S GOT TO BE HONEST ABOUT IT. IT'S GOING TO BE A HECK OF A SERIES. I HONESTLY DO THINK MY PENS WILL WIN IN 6 OR 7! IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY BUT WHEN WE GOT HOSSA,DUPIS,AND GILL THAT SEALED THE DEAL. BESIDES WITH THOSE THREE ADDED TO THE ROSTER U HAVENT BEATEN US ONCE CAUSE U REALLY CANT COUNT THE LAST GAME CAUSE BOTH TEAMS TOOK IT EASY. TRUST ME I WAS THERE AND IF U KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE TWO TEAMS WHEN THEY PLAY THEY TOOK IT EASY! ANYWAY LET THE BEST TEAM WIN! GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said the Pens are better in paper...learn to read you stupid Yinzer. Pens played 2 great teams didn't they? Those Sens must have been pretty tough. Hope you noticed Biron's play...it was just as good if not better than Fleury's. Have fun watching Crosby lose another tooth

Hey, I say let them go against the Flyers it has been working in our favor......I believe the Flyers beat the Penguins in the series 5-3 and I believe this team only gets better as they step up the challenges. May the best team win and my vote is for the Flyers!

Good thing ESPN doesn't know anything about hockey!

Flyers 2 - Scott Burnside - 0

Here's a two goal lead we won't give up!!

THUMBS FREAKIN" UP PHILSBIRDS97!!!!!!!

there is a reason that they dont have hockey games anymore

I have to disagree with the Pens being the better team on paper. We beat them 5 out of 8 times, or 4 out of 7 if you don't count the last game. So according to my paper of the Flyers schedule, looks like we're the better team.
CUP CRAZY BABY!!!

I think the flyers come out of this 4 games to 1 if they flex there muscle and put a little fear in them.

I just hope Burnside picks against us in the finals!

Flyers will do very well against Pittsburgh

I hope the Flyers lose but goaltending is the key and they're getting it now. Should go at least six. If Crosby wants the respect a captain deserves he needs to be special this series.

no surprise ESPN absolutley LOVES the penguins....we got this series though dont worry about it...as u saw in round 1 alexander ovechkin was held in check for most of the games by mike richards...look for the same thing on crosby and/or malkin

don't expect calls to be fair in this one neither flyers fans because you know they love sid the kid even tho he ain't even the best player on his team... FLYERS 4-2 series win against the pens and the refs.. GET FLYERED UP

We play better as the underdogs...

i know right i LOVE being the underdog, and its not just the flyers, its the eagles too. i remember merril hodge or whatever (dudes a loser) picked the falcons in the championship game...good call dude. plus how can u value what they have to say on ESPN when it comes to hockey...besides barry melrose and MAYBE! burnside they have no clue what theyre talking about, key point...WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SEEN MORE THAN A 30 SECOND HIGHLIGHT ON SPORTSCENTER, they give hockey no coverage, its worthless

as if i needed proof to back my argument, i stumbled upon this, god bless the editor who kept all the rounds picks up there to show how much they hate on us

I hate Barry Melrose. I have watched him S***T on the Flyers for years. I am soooo pysched for Friday. I just hope we don't come out sluggish because of the long break from action. LETS GO FLYERS!!!!

He was the only guy at ESPN to pick Philly in the second round so we have to respect him for that.

Somewhere in Bristol:

Timonen's out for the playoffs, that's a huge blow:

A bigger blow comes in a black and gold jersey because the Pens certainly blow
