[NHLAlert]

Exciting first game

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

Season over

 

[Appleyard]

Tbf there could have been two penalties called in the Ozone... Jake and G were both impeded.

You don't call that in 3v3 and it is a guaranteed odd man rush.

That was a pretty good game of hockey from the Flyers though. Disappointing end but an encouraging game.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Good game, pretty encouraging. Thought bschenn and Laughton played well

 

[flyershockey]

Teams will eventually slow down on the 3 on 3. That was insanity.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Hope all the games are that exciting. Entertaining game despite the loss. Got a point which is good. On to the next.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Pretty fun game.

I'll take the point, but how does the slowest guy out of six on the ice get a breakaway like that? Poor decision from Jake.

 

[Flyotes]

Left a point on the board.

 

[McNasty]

I think that Laughton move is only really going to work if you come in with some speed.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Can we defer a penalty shot to a PP next time?

Btw Sanheim, Gostisbehere, and Provorov will run 3v3 someday.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

First line looked a little off tonight. I'm sure they'll turn it on soon.

20s line looked really good and Schenn - Couturier looked good together. Manning is no good. Medvedev was meh in his first game.

 

[CutOnDime97]

God MDZ was so so bad in that OT.

 

[JayRosehillMVP]

Good game. Umberger was awesome.

Out of every guy on that team... Garrison?

 

[4thline4life]

Very encouraging game. Played even with the defending conference champs and had our chances to take it. Secondary lines look much better than last year.

 

[Curufinwe]

Pretty fun game.

I'll take the point, but how does the slowest guy out of six on the ice get a breakaway like that? Poor decision from Jake.

I think Jake was expecting the puck to come up the boards but the Tampa player made a great play to kick it to the middle.

Good game overall. Shame a lack of shootout execution cost us again, though.

 

[Embiid]

Great way to make history....ugh

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

3 on 3 just exposes this teams weaknesses more so than other teams (lack of speed/skill along with no good two way presence on the backend). The shootout is finally minimized but unforunately the solution is something the Flyers might actually be worse at.

 

[Appleyard]

God MDZ was so so bad in that OT.

I would be all for playing:

Giroux -- Voracek
Couturier

 

[bennysflyers16]

Jake is too scatter brained for 3 on 3. It's a patience thing and he is the opposite.
Thinking Mase would cover that one and that sequence there was horrid.
Would love to see Ghost out for that.

Team looked a lot better though and was exciting. Too bad our no skill breakaway skills cost us a point yet again.

Logs of **** for me were def Simmer , Raffl, and Manning
Standouts were RJ , Laughton and Brayden

 

[Jtown]

the flyers look like a much improved skating team overall as a group. schenn really stood out for me.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Do you get the option for a PP instead of a penalty shot? If so Hackstol shouldve went with that.

 

[Karma]

Well that ending sucked.

 

[King Forsberg]

Needed more grit and grinding to win that 3v3...

Really does. Tried to warn people. Don't have the horses (or horse) on D.
