And he passed directly to Green in OT.

that was a braincramp of massive proportions...

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

When you lunge that far outside the blue paint, it's not interference.

Also, goalies belong inside the blue paint. Every attempt to stop the puck should not pull you two feet outside of the crease.​

He was likely miffed at the earlier goal and had to be upset with all matters including his own play. He had a golden opportunity to secure some confidence with his mates but that was a jarring disappointment tonight.

Indeed. He definitely continued his downward trend.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Coaching aside, has the question been asked does the team trust Mrazek when he is in there? They can say verbally they do but actions on the ice sometimes speak otherwise.
Mrazek seems like he has very fragile confidence. When he gives up one more follow it seems.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Glad that Hak proved yet again that he's a moron of a coach with his shooter choices.

Every single time he has a chance to prove that he's a moron, he takes full advantage of it.

Well he isnt a good coach, but lets not pretend we have any automatic guys on that bench. This team has sucked balls in the SO going back to when Lavy was on the bench.

 

[ybnvs]

Thankfully SJS did us a solid and gave us a little more room to breathe by dismantling NJ tonight.

 

[Foggy14]

Ok, congratulations Couts on #30, and TK on #20.

And congratulations on the comeback to earn a point.

But Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what was up with the first two periods in a game where we needed to come in blasting from the start?

We made Dylan Larkin look like Wayne F'n Gretzky.

Two PP goals? Great, but our "great power play" is only 17th in the League, and just tied for League worst in giving up shorthanded goals.

And 2-7 in the shootout and 30th in the League in shootout shooting percentage (18.9%)?

Do we even practice this stuff?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Gary Bettman is nothing but a spokesperson. The owners take the decisions.

I can assure you that there is no moving me on this point (or any other really, I'm quite intractable). No sir, logic and reason have no effect on me.

**** Gary Bettman, now and forever, Amen.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Out drinking tonight, just saw that PP in OT,, what a ****ing abortion that was.

While I was watching the game, I was like "SHOOT, where's Benny?"

They have never practiced it since they brought it into the league.

 

[AdamParrot]

Haha. Typical Flyers.

But this G! I hope that he will win Lady Byng!

 

[kudymen]

He did it! We got THE point! He did it, wooo

 

[dats81]

I'm glad I missed this abortion of a hockey game.
Why did I root Flyers in the prediction thread, stupid me, should have known better.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

What does that mean? 5 pts in 6 games is what it is. And even if it happened, NJ and CBJ can lose. We could miss the playoffs, but it's still unlikely at this point. We need to win the next games though.

This is nothing against you but I don't get the opinion we will probably make the play-offs with only 4 or so wins when all the other three teams are winning everything right now.

Well Jersey lost today but that's not the point.

How can we say a number of games is enough when the other grab points. This makes no sense.

 

[BillDineen]

I hate shootouts. Lyon deserved better after saving them in OT.

Provorov has had more mind farts the past half of this season than he did all of last year. It better be his "sophomore slump".

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Well Provorov is already a #1 D on a team with flaws and been asked to do it all. He racked up 10+ goals, 30+ points and plays 20+ min every night.

I'd say he could be out of gas and will be ok eventually.

 

[Larry44]

Provy looks a little tired from overuse - and from having to watch AMac beat the puck to death every shift. Exhausting.

 

[TheKingPin]

Mrazek seems like he has very fragile confidence. When he gives up one more follow it seems.

It seems like they gave him this game because it was his homecoming. I knew it was a mistake. Good to know that Lyon will go Thursday. Not sure what they will do with nuevy. Can they send Mrazek to the ahl or sit him without consequence? I don’t see how you give Mrazek another start unless all the other goalies suck.

Couts getting his goal was pretty massive. With g and tk going, Couts back on will be huge.

I wouldn’t worry about Provorov. He’s played a lot and is likely fatigued. This is his version of a sophomore slump. He’s scored a lot of goals and done ok otherwise.

 

[dats81]

In respect to Provorov I think he is already very good but now tries to push the envelope even further, sometimes trying to force things and it fires back at him now.
He has that drive that he wants to be a game changer.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Provy looks a little tired from overuse - and from having to watch AMac beat the puck to death every shift. Exhausting.

I think this is very possible, too.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Please drink a Beef Cooler for me.

That's actually the most vile thing you've ever posted.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Yeah if people get on Ivan for flubbing pucks you can go f*** yourself.

He and Shayne make one of the best pairs in the league.

 

[kelmitchell]

He is barely 21 and you want to christen him the next Coburn.

I swear some of posters these days have no clue.

Especially since hes already better both offensively and defensively, but way better offensively than coburn ever was

 

[WIP CALLER]

It's so pathetic that I was able to correctly predict they would 100% lose this game while on my way home from the game Sunday. Anytime the team plays a good game against a good team it's like they think their shit doesn't stink the next game against an inferior opponent. Just another sign of a terribly coached team.

 

[kelmitchell]

...fine. I don't blame american people. I blame... culture. But as I said, this is too political for this place.
