Woof.

 

[Rebels57]

Hard fought road point. Whats happening to me?

 

[FromOyVey2Matvei]

2 goals on odd man rushes generated from shit changes is a frustrating way to lose a game. At least they nabbed a point though.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

The NHL hasn't mandated no-contact 3-on-3 hockey in the playoffs...just yet.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

Didn't like their chances 3-on-3 against a team like Toronto but I did like the defensive choice to have two players go after the puck carrier to leave Nylander wide open.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

They got caught on a line change. Good point I suppose

 

[Beef Invictus]

Ah. Alas!


On the bright side, we got sixty minutes and fifty-three seconds of hockey for the same price as sixty minutes!

 

[Adam Warlock]

Good comeback and point. Not Erssons best game...need big saves to win a game like this.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

a resilient point…gotta give em credit

 

[trostol]

Sounds like they are a vastly less talented 80s Keenan teams

How do you justify startin Laughton on OT? Losing the fac-off set the table....

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Not the best night for Son of Ers. It happens.

Where's Couturier? Din't notice him on the ice for a significant amount of time.

lol..

post of the nite..

seriously you should do positivity seminars..

 

[Henry Miller]

Gutsy comeback at least. Matthews having one of the more dominant goal scoring seasons in recent history; he’s made many goaltenders look poor this season

 

[Magua]

To me, he has pretty limited offensive weaponry. His skating is his best attribute by a large margin.

He showed some seriously crisp passing early on. I remember some awesome 4v4 and 3v3 shifts; he and Sanheim did dirty things on the cycle together. His game has trended down. The 7D shit is wearing thin too. But it is curious that the more Tortorella hypes him up as a rover, the more passive he's gotten. Maybe he's banged up, who knows?

I do think he looks like the best PP QB of the bunch they have -- certainly, I prefer him to York, who is more limited. But I agree, I don't see high end shake and bake. It's good. His skating is good too, but even then, I don't think it's elite. We get to watch Sanheim be a f***ing monster off the rush every game -- I don't see that. Drysdale's burst is a bit better in the cycle.

I've said that if he's a top 4 guy, that's a win. We just always go through this song and dance (shoutout Ducks fans) where guys have to be 70 point Norris #1s or else.

See above.

 

[Tripod]

Points keep piling up

Bertuzzi slashed him and bad things happened.

Deslauriers did not stop this.

that cant be right..

i hear shittrucks an enforcer! and face punchers keep NHL players honest cuz they know hes out there..

oh wait... none of that is true..shitturck is just a plug whos 50 years outa date

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Hopefully it’s just a stinger for York. Looked like he jammed his shoulder. Couturier got slashed in a place without much protection. Hope it’s nothing more than a bruise

Charlie has said on the PHLY podcast that it's likely Drysdale is still fighting through the injury that kept him out for a good portion of the season.

I also think Drysdale just looks lost in the d-zone - not necessarily as in "bad", but definitely not on the same page as the rest of the team.
