I think that was pretty harsh on Flower to be yanked after being hung out to dry by his D.

lol @ Gonchar. He obviously didn't want to be there.
Harsh or not, we were down 4-0 in game 7.
You'll often see goalies pulled when the coach believes his team needs a wake up call. Even if it's not the goalie's fault, sometimes it's necessary.
In this case I'd say a large part of it was on Fleury. The fact that we were in real trouble in game 7 means he has to go regardless. He may've been hung out to dry on that goal, but he should've also stopped it, given the bad angle it was on. Yes, I know it was a rolling puck and probably dipped on him a bit, but at the end of the day he's an NHL goalie and should've made the save.
He looked as if he'd been told before the game that he wasn't wanted on the team and would not be re-signed after the season. Most lacklustre I've probably seen him, and I guess that's saying a bit.

I live on Cape Cod- about 90 minutes south of Boston- leaving work early tomorrow afternoon and will get up there. Got a small flip camera with videowhich I ought to be able to get in- have a zoom camera which takes good pics, but I think they get picky about people taking them in- I'll check.
No pics of the partner.....sorry, lads

In the context of the game, you are probably right. I haven't watched the game yet so I have no idea how many shots he had faced or his overall play at the time. I just thought it looked bad.
Agree, I'm starting to believe
When was the last time there was an all original six Stanley Cup final series, with the Habs and possibly the Bruins playing off in the East and Chicago in the West, it's a real possibility.

'79 Montreal vs Rangers
I vaguely remember running up and down our street.
Montreal won it 4-1. The end of the 70's Habs' dynasty,
i honestly believe the flyers will beat the bruins in game 7. this series has a look about of the yankees red sox series, where red sox came back from 3-0 down to win. the yankees smashed them in the first 3 games and fell apart after that. the flyers have the belief to knock off the bruins

Couple of interest6ing bits there...
In the semis, Montreal beat the Bruins in 7, when the Bruins got a too many men on the ice penalty and the Habs scored to tie it up.....
In the finals, for some reason, Bowman was going to start Bunny Laroque in goal instead of Dryden- but in warmups, he got hit in the side of his head with a shot and dryden had to go in and play- he stoned the Rangers.

could be the third year in a row the habs and bruins meet.
last year the 1 seeded bruins swept the 8 seeded habs, the year before 1 seeded Montreal team won in 7 over the 8 seeded bruins.

Having an original six team with the Cup (that's not Detroit) would be fine with me. And the Sharks finally getting there would be okay.
As long as the Flyers don't win the Cup, I'll be happy.

So for those playing along at home the score is...
Flyers - Two stupid penalties.
Bruins - Two PP Goals.

lol @ Boston.
Also, loving how Niemi is getting a heap of love from commentators for "dragging" Chicago through.. but his stats are mediocre really. 2.57 GAA and 0.909 SV%

A lot of people on these threads seem to emphasize goaltender stats far too much, what is important is making the big saves when it matters and getting the win.
Look at Grant Fuhr's stats, very average but he came up with the big saves when it mattered time after time.
This will spark the Boo-ins:
"Flyers have been all over in the past 5 minutes"
Hoping for three periods of overtime here.
