Trash Talking

(Rusty Kennedy, AP)

I'm not a trash talker at all. Trash talking comes back to bite you in the ass once your team loses. I'm amazed to see the amount of arrogant predictions and post after post using the word Flyers and cheapshots or Broad St Bullies in the same sentence.

Can anyone find me an analyst who picks the Flyers in this series?

  1. WE pick the Flyers! Can we count as analysts? ;) You'll just have to overlook the fact that the Flyers were eliminated in our very scientific method of picking team names out of a hat. Sucks.

    It is a shame that the early suspensions have turned everyone against them. Cripes, Boulerice is in the minors and Downie doesn't always play. Weren't they the big suspensions this year? (Or am I totally forgetting something...) We don't like Downie, but we can look past him for the good of the team!

  2. The Caps are this years Thrashers. Ovechkin has never played Playoff hockey, he won't know what is going to hit him. I can't remember, but I think Mirtle picked the Flyers too.

  3. Erm, I think that one guy did, that guy on Versus with the dark hair.

  4. Ahem... I believe it was Modry and Kukkonen who didn't know what hit them... oh, and Richards at the end of the game. He looked a bit confused as he stared up at Alex the GR8 from his seat on the ice...

  5. I think the monkey on CBC's Playoff Preview show picked the Flyers. I'm serious. You can see it on their website. The short story is that a few years ago, they tested a theory if a monkey could make as accurate of picks as the analysts and surprise, it could. So each year they bring the monkey back!
