    Uhh...they just lost a 3-0 lead in Game 7. At home. After losing a 3-0 lead in the series.

    What exactly is your definition of "epic choke" if this doesn't qualify?

      The Flyers and Habs are as high as a team can be right now. It should make it a great series. I say it goes 7 with the Habs winning it on the road again.

        In terms of seeding I see it as a grand failure by Boston though so throw that out the window.

        It's an epic choke and a major upset.

          Yeah this is bad. You are up 3-0 at home and lose. This is a choke at its fullest. I feel for Bruins fans. You are right about that Dr. they were only talking about the Wings coming back. I am sure there were some Flyers fans on here that did not give up.

            Not a hockey fan and I know nothing about it really, but I watched tonight's game and not calling it an epic choke leaves me speechless.

            To me it's like being up 3-0 in basketball with home court advantage, and then going to a game 7 and getting up by 25 points at halftime.. then somehow inexplicably losing the game and the series on your home floor.

            It was both hilarious and sad at the same time.

              The team that won the President's Trophy wouldn't be able to do it. The defending champions wouldn't be able to do it. But the 7th seed that got into the playoffs on the last day of the regular season, they could totally do it.

                The word "epic" is wildly overused....but that was epic. I'm gonna be up all night.

                  I think the West teams are stack. Even more then the Pens and Caps. But with Chris P the Flyers are scary, he plays dirty and get away with it. He was a big part of the Ducks cup run. I will go for the Habs if they do not play the Sharks. I like what they are doing. Though it will be tough to get by the Flyers.

                      I don't post often, but wow....

                      I'm a Philly fan. I expected a blowout loss in Game 7 after they got our hopes up. A 3-0 lead for the Bruins was nearly expected. But this team...it's special. Habs/Flyers should be a great one....

                        Unbelievable...this sort of choke job usually happens with Philly teams- like the Lindros era Flyers and the Eagles of recent years. So used to have hopes lifted up and then disappointed.

                        I thought they had no chance after it was 3-0...I thought they had no chance when they were down 3-0 in tonight's game. Shocked.

                        Gotta say Flyers got a great coach who has them believing. And Giroux in the corner with 2 minutes left was amazing!!! 4 on 1.

                        Should be an entertaining matchup with the Habs.

                          Here we go. Let the "dirty" Flyers talk commence..... sheesh couldn't you give it at least a day! This is maybe why you shouldn't feel the need to post after every other person in response and take the time to think about what you're saying.

                            Did I say the flyers were dirty. I said Chris P plays dirty and gets away with it. Maybe you should think before you write. And for the record I like that about Chris P. So maybe you should actually read what I wrote about Chris P in the past.

                            Also it is message board maybe you should post more. But then again maybe not.

                              Why in the world would I look up what you wrote about Pronger in the past?!? Do you think I'm going to archive your postings? You made a statement HERE in this thread about about a Flyer playing dirty. He's played solid. He's played hard. Shove your winky face.

                                Nobody said he was playing poorly, but if you're contending that Pronger isn't a dirty player...well.....
