Well, I think there may have been internal pressure to see what Leighton could do (since he was tearing up the AHL!!1!111), so it might not be on him entirely but regardless the fact that the sentiment that Leighton was even close to as good as the other two is just so lol.

Bob has to be the choice now with Boooosh backing him up.

Or mebbe you just put Boosh in until it's 3-0, then bring in Bob for the epic repeat run of last year!

Problem is, if the B's go up 2-0, I think they don't try and score the 3rd goal because obv it is an extremely unlucky goal.

I tend to believe that because before the playoffs started and Bobrovsky was named the starter, I heard an interview with Laviolette on WIP and he spoke really highly of Bobrovsky and gave him all the credit he deserved for helping the Flyers to where they were. There was also apparently an interview where Bob said something about "not being there mentally" quite yet after one of the games which may have stirred up some controversy and factored into the decision as well (because translation between languages is always perfect and context doesn't matter amirite???). Regardless, they all deserve a good bitch slap.

You obviously can't get any more nut low than a three goal lead in a series with a three game lead.

People keep saying this ITT, but the thing is the 3 goal deficit was blown in Game 7, not Game 4. And it's not going 7 games this year.

Seriously, the only difference between Games 3 and 4 will be that the crowd has to chant "SERRRRGEI" rather than "BOOOOUCHER".

Vagos, the burden of proof is still on the Bruins that they can close this out. If the Flyers win two games, **** will hit the fan in Boston.

Jesus, nice .896 ESS% in the playoffs, Boucher. Glad we sent the guy to the press box who was still around .920 at the time.

the flyers played pretty aidsy and afaik boucher is still 1.000 on the PK. as i said before the playoffs, the difference between bobrovsky and boucher is not apparent by stats.

local moronic columnist Dan Shaughnessy has already declared Game 4 a must win for the Bruins

Yes, we all know this... and yes, I agree with you on your second point as well.

So lol. Ya, I mean, if they don't win Game 4, the Flyers will certainly be favorites to go back home and force a Game 6. It'd be getting a little dicey at that point, but personally, I won't exactly be shaking in my shoes until there's a Game 7 in Philly. Bruins in 6 is not unlikely at all. It's a different team. Half the starters are different from last year. And Tim Thomas.

I'd be stunned if Shaughnessy had watched 5 NHL games this season before the playoffs started.

Yeah he's .925 which makes up for some of that. 100% against Boston though.

I just read some of that article. Wow. As if making a mockery of the term "must win" wasn't enough, he tries to make a comparison to the Sox/Yankees 0-3 comeback with the Kevin Millar quote "We got Pedro and Schilling and then anything can happen in Game 7".

Um ya, if only the Flyers had the goaltending equivalent of Pedro and Schilling circa 2004.

was reading an article online today and I'd almost forgotten about the scrubs the Bruins were running out there in the playoffs last year after Krejci got hurt. Steve Begin, Miroslav Satan and Trent Whitfield were getting regular ice time, those three combined to play in 2 NHL games this year.

The Bruins lineup going into game 4 of last year
Lucic-Savard-Satan
Paille-Bergeron-Recchi
Wheeler-Sobotka-Ryder
Whitfield-Begin-Thornton

Chara-Boychuk
Hunwick-Wideman
Ference-McQuaid
