11~ZachAttack~11 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 What happened with the Leafs and the Flyers? 6-1 I thought that the Leafs did really good the night before. Eddie was stopping everyone. I turned on ESPN last night to watch the final five minutes of the game, and I was surprised to see that they were that far behind. I know that they had a game the night before, and had to fly to a different city that night but, I guess I didn't think the Leafs would get that far behind. Was Eddie in the goal all night? Does anyone else have any relpies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonMav Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I watched until it was 5-1, end of the 2nd period. Eddie didn't help his cause with 2 penalties. Wasn't one of his best nights. Reminded me of Belfours first game with Dallas vs the Minnesota Wild. Philly also came to play so it was a combination of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 What happened? Ed made a bad play moving the puck that cost them plus they gave up a goal with under a minute left in the first. That took the air out of them. They reverted to being the most penalized team in the league. Down a couple and having to kill off a couple of 5 on 3s, Toronto finally ran out of gas. On a somewhat related note, too bad Bombardir was hurt for the Wild or else we could have seen a UND guy playing in each Game 7 last night: Toronto/Philly: Toronto goalie Ed Belfour St. Louis/Vancouver: Vancouver captain Murray Baron Minnesota/Colorado: Minnesota captain Brad Bombardir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Bad1 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Is it just me, or is Brad bombadir always hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatspin7 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 To be honest--- The series was the second longest series in NHL history. It looks like Toronto simply ran out of gas first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I was only able to watch the last half of the first period, because I had class for the rest of the game. But from what I saw, the Flyers outplayed the Leafs. To be honest, I expected Toronto to play much better than that. I thought that they would win the series, but in Game 7 Phily came to play Toronto didn't. Penalties didn't help Toronto's chances either. Yes, Eddie was in goal all night (correct me if I am wrong). He just had a bad game. It's no different than Roy getting lit up 7 times in the Avs 7-0 loss in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals last year against Detroit. Good goalies have bad days. I would not be surprised if Philadelphia looks a little weak and tired in the first game against Ottawa in the Conference semi's. I thinking Ottawa in 5 or 6.

Fighting Sioux Fan Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 The Leafs ran into a better team! They looked tired and Philly didn't want to get knocked out in the first round, again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
