I'm always impressed at how worthless his commentary is.

it's true though. Buffalo deserves to have held on to a 2 goal lead on sunday and deserves to see Richards suspended.
but this is the life we've chosen.
I hate Barry Melrose.
But I can't argue that.
Why would anyone pay attention to ESPN for hockey?

Melrose was on GR yesterday and he was talking about how crappy the goaltending was for Philly. He said they have given up like 10 bad goals. While they have given up some bad goals, the goaltending hasn't been that atrocious. He is an idiot. No wonder ESPN's hockey coverage sucks.
The only thing good about him is that he thinks Gil Perreault is one of the greatest hockey players of all time.
The Sabres have better goaltending.
The Flyers have better forward depth.
There are different ways to build a team. I disagree that the Flyers deserve it more, just because they've allocated more to the front end than the back end.
The team that deserves it is the team that wins four games.

I don't care if they deserve it or not, the fact remains that they have played one of the better teams in the league to a game seven. They have the chance to advance because they won three games, two of those games those crappy goalies only gave up ONE goal and the Sabres won.
Barry is a twizzler...

I laugh when ESPN puts up videos of Melrose recording himself talking on a mini-camcorder, standing in a closet. It's absolutely pathetic for what is supposed to be a major sports outlet.

I check ESPN, but anyone who follows hockey knows www.tsn.ca/nhl is the #1 source for NHL news and highlights.Originally Posted by rbochan
he is correct. they do not deserve to win, they might win, but they don't deserve to.
Oh so now it is they "might" win? Don't set yourself up for a let down!!!!Originally Posted by HurkeyNuts
BERNIAC!
Whoever wins deserves it.
the team that wins 4 games "deserves" it.... its the playoffs...records are put aside and everyone is 0-0 to begin.....

Agreed. I always cringe a little when a hear someone say a goalie has "stolen" a game. Last I checked, goalies are part of the team too. It's like saying a quarterback or a pitcher steals games.Originally Posted by DMBcrew36

Like with quarterbacks, if you don't have a good goalie, it sure makes it more difficult to win. More so than any other position on a team.Originally Posted by Philagape
I have often wondered when the goalie "was no longer part of the team". Buffalo put dollars in the goalie position, Philly didn't. The goalie position has come back and bit Philly. Does Philly deserve it?

Very stupid thing to say because the same could be said for Philly. They dont deserve to advance because they will not get too far with pathetic goaltending. Whoever wins the series deserves it because they were the better TEAM in the series. Maybe he should say the winner of the series better step up because they will not get passed the next round if they continue to play at the current level.
