Yep. The days of dynasties have passed, at least for a while. Teams are just incredibly close in ability.

The problem with Marty isn't Marty, it's perception. He's fallen a good deal from his pinnacle, but at his peak, he was god tier, and his peak lasted for what seemed like 15 years.
Going from GOAT-level to pretty good is a huge drop, sure, but he's still pretty good. Let's not act like he's a bad goaltender now. He's also certainly not a great one. He's capable of vintage dominant games, but the number of mistakes or poor plays has risen to downgrade him a good deal.
His mistakes jump out based on what people remember of Marty at his absolute best.
With these goalies/defenses?
So, what's the over/under on Bob Cole falling asleep tonight?

LOL at them doing this again.
How did the Rangers guy not get hurt:
Not only did he not get hurt (he actually was shaken up for a few minutes), but he played 53 minutes!

lol Flyers. More like Crashers, amirite?
That was a hard wrister from like 10-15 feet away. Anyone would have given a rebound there.
Not on Bryzgalov at all...it was a 3 on 1 off a terrible change. Flyers deserved to lose not cashing in on those powerplays

They look tired. Too many rookies in key roles.

forgot there was another game on
game over for st louis if they give it up tonight.
game over for st louis if they give it up tonight.
Yeah, that goal was all his fault, nothing to do with the terrible line change that left him with no one in front of him to defend the Jersey rush apart from that pylon Lilja.
And missing their best rookie for most of the game.
That wasn't on Bryz at all. It was a really hard shot, and any goalie in the league would've given up that rebound.
