    I figured as much...makes sense for safety I guess. Just annoys me when there's just a slight kicking motion in a deflection, those are ok, but you don't want guys doing soccer style kicks or anything and cutting people with skates.

      Look out rest of the NHL. Flyers' players are blocking shots with regularity ...... and with their faces!!

      Been saying it all year about Giroux. Nothing short of all-star status being carved for next year. The Hot Boucher has shown up. The Flyers TEAM has emerged as just that. This will not be easy for anyone else facing them the rest of the way....even if it's just one more series.

        The Pens, by virtue of losing last night, will now have to travel to Ottawa for a game 6 and best case scenario, they finish it there and then almost immediately start a bruising series with a well-rested Flyers team (who gave them a run for their money last year). The Pens appear to be the best team again this year (pains me to no end to say that...I still think the Wings shoulda got 'em last year, but I have to let that go at some point...), but they are not putting the dagger into teams when they have a chance. Frequently, that comes back to get ya'....

          Not seeing Nicky Lidstrom's name on the Norris finalists is so foreign to me...not that his season deserved it, but some things you just count on: day following night, spring showers, taxes....and Nick Lidstrom winning the Norris trophy. What's this world coming to????

            and 110% wrong.

            if the Pens win, they play the winner of the Sabres and Bruins series. the Caps get the Flyers..

            only way Pens and Flyers play in round 2 is if the Habs pull off a miracle..

              ...and the Sabres pull off a miracle as well.

                  Anyone who watched Green regularly saw a huge improvement in his defensive game. The guy works his *** off at improving that side of the game and is no longer god-awful in his own end (though he has been so far in round 1).

                  Does that mean he deserves the Norris? I'm not sure. There is no other defenseman in the NHL who can do everything he does offensively, so obviously that's a huge factor. I probably wouldn't vote for Green this year, though I think eventually he gets a Norris.

                      Yeah I think Green sometimes gets a bad reputation as well on defense -- somewhat because he is (by far) the most talented offensive defenseman (call it the Sandis Ozolinish argument). I think Schultz is clearly the best defender on the Caps, but Green is better when taking everything into consideration. I don't have a beef with him being nominated because he's pretty much as good as any other choice in that second tier of defenders behind Keith and Doughty this year -- those two are far and away the best choices for the award this year.

                      However, I'm all for another award that just awards the best defensive or offensive defensemen moving ahead since it feels like the Norris is a little bit of a weird trophy each year because there isn't enough separation for the defenders in terms of who should be nominated and why.

                        lol at Bruce digging at the Pens a tad during his interview in between tv timeouts.. this guy needs to focus on his team, bc IMO he is the reason the caps may not win anything with this group. but hey, what do i know..

                        also, Sid awarded an assist on Letangs goal yesterday. 14 points in 5 games, not to bad..
