Amac caught out there for a 2 minute. Then takes a 30 second breather and then sent back out. Ghost just getting a head start removing his skates.

 

[Jtown]

somehow , someway we are tied with pitt.

 

[CSKA1974]

Manning and AMac out there after a timeout with the faceoff in our zone. Simmonds too.

This is why Hak is hated.

with 2.9 seconds left, perhaps, you need shot blockers.

 

[flyers0909]

Ghost didn't see the ice in the last 4 minutes. Interestingly enough, the we didn't control the puck in the offensive zone once during that span.

 

[Rebels57]

But really, what was that Hak blender at the end of the game? Shift after shift of just random players.

Throwing Manning out who then turned it over leading to pressure against then iced it really screwed things up. Had to take that faceoff after the timeout with a mishmash of players and no Provy.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Provorov got the game's top star.

Tim Saunders said Ghost "(will win) a Norris Trophy in the near future."

 

[Tripod]

has he played after being hurt shot blocking?

 

[JXC]

It’s like you people have never seen a team barely hang on in the tail end of back to back road games. You’re supposed to be proud of your team for digging deep and holding on. That’s the good stuff.

 

[Flyers1928]

im f***ing done watching this crap, almost like they wanted to lose. f***ing jori double shifting with matt read good lord. How many turnovers by their worst players in last 3 mins like manning holy f*** if ur gonna lose do it with ur best players. No clue how hexy can sit there and watch that shit he can go too as far as im concerned

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I mean, I understand the frustration with how they got pinned in their own zone most of the last 4 minutes and couldn't clear to save their lives.
But Giroux and Couturier and Provorov played a ton of minutes at the end, and they can't play every minute, especially when they were running around in their own zone almost the whole time.
And who else do you put out there? You aren't going to put Patrick and Lindblom out there with the lead and Colorado pressuring like all hell in your own zone. You sure aren't going to put Laughton out there. Lehtera is horrible, but it's almost by default, because they have no one else. You can't play Provorov the whole time. It's really a matter of lack of depth. Unfortunately, they are stuck putting lousy players out there because their few reliable players can't play the whole time.

Anyway, Mrazek got the job done. Good for him. It was huge.

It's funny how everyone knows this but Haktard.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Lol flowchart on this one is glorious.

Its just so hilariously predictable

 

[chupanibre]

I don't even want to think of this team in a 7 game series against anyone with the way they've been playing. It's going to be a massacre

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

has he played after being hurt shot blocking?

He did post-game radio and sounded fine. Sounded being the operative word. My guess is that if something was detectable then he would have been undergoing treatment.

Was Lehtera carted back out afterwards too?

Oh it was even before then.

 

[YamCork]

They were gassed. 60+ minutes yesterday, playing in high altitude today. I understand their struggle at the end.

That's totally understandable, just the amount of failed clears at the end was doing my head in.

 

[Jtown]

It's 1:33 am here.

wait what? im on east coast time its 1230

 

[FLYguy3911]

First period was great but the worst thing that happened was they got a 2-0 lead. Shit hockey after that.

ES shot attempts in the 3rd: 31-8
ES scoring chances in the 3rd: 20-6

Not in favor of the Flyers.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Some folks should try enjoying the games a little.

It’s hard when you’re doing this almost every game out of boredom.

 

[Jtown]

That's totally understandable, just the amount of failed clears at the end was doing my head in.

failed clears by macdonald alone was around 30

 

[flyersjim73]

Huge win. Just got back after winning my beer league championship to see them hang on. Cant wait to get up to Philly on Sunday to see them take down the Bruins.
