Sorry, you can't claim you're stopping Peter Forsberg when he has 8 points in 5 games. It's not like he had 7 in one and 1 in another. He's had a point in every game in the series except Game 5. And he may be the best player in the world but both Ottawa and New Jersey have dynamic first lines as well. It's also unclear whether he's at 100% health or not - that's not an excuse, as everyone knows Forsberg is always hurt. Still, if Jason Spezza or Scott Gomez has 8 points in 5 games of the next series, Buffalo will be the team down 3-2 or possibly eliminated.
I'm shocked at how awful the Flyers' secondary scoring has been. Richards and Carter don't have a point in any of the five games. These two have to get on the board for the Flyers to be successful.

As I said stats do not tell the whole story. Any and all points in Game 2 were totally meaningless and to even imply otherwise is borderline libel. Game 3 they got some ridiculous bounces on two goals, which happens in hockey, whatever...I stand by the contention that the line has been good but in no way dominant outside of Game 4 and I think just about anyone who has watched the games would agree.
Also, you can't rip the Sabres for that line scoring and not give them credit for shutting down the other lines. It's pretty clear that you're a hater - no big deal.
