Mason deserved better.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Another hockey game ruined by a shootout. Fantastic.

 

[Rebels57]

This team looks mentally exhausted and I think we may see a slump and some of our lead in the standings dissapear over the next couple of weeks.

 

[Vikke]

Should've won it in the first 40. Point given away.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Ribeiro Talking **** on his way off the ice to fan in the stands..

Hope he gets jumped on the way to the airport... I hate that dude..

 

[tymed]

Powerplay left the 2nd point on the table.

Maybe the Christmas break is coming at a good time.

 

[TCTC]

That was a game we shouldn't have lost.

Not scoring on the 5on3 was the key. Was pretty much all Predators after that.

 

[Appleyard]

Rinne and a really sloppy PP cost them that one.

Should have got 2 points.

 

[Striiker]

Oh well, not a big deal. Apart from the last 10 mins they were good enough to win.

On to the next one.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Mason deserved better.

Not really, Rinne deserved that win, he was a brick wall.

Haks stubbornness cost us a point tonight, close to 16 mins of ice time for his boy trying to hold a lead, barely playing Leier , and same old shootout line up played a big part in this loss.

 

[explosive skating]

They had 1:30 of 5 on 3.

You knew it was coming. This team has been bipolar and mentally fragile for years. As nice as winning 10 games was, it was going to inevitably lead to a big let down.

Hopefully they can salvage one more win before the break...get a much needed rest, get Couts back, and at least play .500 hockey.

Mental challenges aside tho...this team is going no where with VDV and PEB getting the playing time they are.

Ya this break is at the perfect time, too bad we have 2 more games though as we may very well lose them both.

The unwillingness to play Leier and continuing to play protect the lead hockey by rolling the Selke Line was very frustrating.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Rinne was a brick wall today, didn't get much puck luck tonite and refs decided to throw the whistles away when there should have been atleast half dozen calls...

 

[FLYguy3911]

Ghost to TK. They both needed that puck to go in.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Hats off to Leier tho, looked fantastic in his 8 mins of ice time.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

We need Couturier & Read back asap. They realistically can't play the Hak line as much as they do with the little offense they provide.

Too bad Cousins and Leier are the 2 getting sent down.

 

[Rebels57]

If Coots and Read came back and we scratched VdV and Gordon, we would have 4 good lines.

Really? 1 point in 2 games and they're mentally fragile again?
We haven't had one big losing streak all season. They always bounce back. This is a mentally strong team.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Too bad Cousins and Leier are the 2 getting sent down.

I think they waive Gordon over Cousins but yeah wouldn't be the least surprised if those two come out.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Hats off to Leier tho, looked fantastic in his 8 mins of ice time.

Leier played with lots of energy tonite, it sucks though once Coots and Reader return he'll end up back in the A. If he keeps playing like that I'd rather see Gordon get waived just so Leier can stay..
