Magic number stays at 6. Pretty straight forward....gotta win 3 of the last 4.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Hate pulling goalies on the PP ... oh well it woulda been too little too late anyways... was just kinda hoping for another Ghost point though

 

[hckyplayer8]

Gutless sans Simmonds and Mason.

Beating DET and getting one other win will probably be enough.

 

[orangecrush8]

Dominated from start to finish.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Wasn't expecting much today. Pens are hot, we played yesterday and have a line that basically loses us games.


Manning, MacDonald, and Hakstols children put that game out of reach.

 

[bennysflyers16]

If Bruins beat canes Tuesday, the game Wed is massive.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Right I keep forgetting that.

Its gonna be tough to beat Det on the road tho.

 

[TCTC]

Just forget this game happened and beat Detroit on Wednesday. We're still in a good position.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

This team folded so ****ing hard. So many ****ing brain farts and no vigor in anything they did. I hope they get reamed hard for being this ******. AMac, Manning, 4th line and Read sucked complete ass today. Seriously... it was ****ing bad...

 

[StateOfHexcellence]

Was hoping for one point. W got throttled again

 

[CSKA1974]

Outcoached, outperformed, outclassed

 

[kingjmusicman]

Liked not seeing Medvedev....oh well.

 

[hatcher]

Gutless sans Simmonds and Mason.

had the puck in their zone but played with no pop unlike the cap game.

Qft.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Pens have dominated us all year.

 

[Appleyard]

The fact Boston and Detroit have a game left against each other means that the Flyers could simply just win the Detroit game and lose the other 3 and have a pretty decent chance of being in tbh.

Both teams have to get past us and we have a game in hand of both still.

Some of the GDT comments about what should have been a 5 minute boarding major on MacDonald were shameful. MacDonald didn't have an outlet on his backhand after settling a bouncing puck and spinning away from 7 because 34 was covering the passing lane to Couturier, so he went to move the puck back to Ghost but couldn't because he got his head illegally rammed into the boards. If 34 had checked him in a legal manner he would have had no trouble completing the pass and Ghost could have skated the puck back behind the net.

 

[Rebels57]

Thoroughly embarassing overall performance.

Only team in the league that lets their 4th line and 6th dman consistently cost them goals, and in some cases, games.

Heres an idea...play them less.

 

[bennysflyers16]

We need Laughts skating, would like him to replace one of the sons, but since that isn't happening I'm good with him replacing Gagner or Read . They were really exposed today

 

[Sniped]

Those speedy teams really give the Flyers issues. Makes me look that much more forward to cutting this dead-weight off the team.

 

[TCTC]

Pens have dominated us all year.

We used to win against Pittsburgh and lose against most other teams, now it's the other way around. It's better this way.

Also, the last time we lost against Pittsburgh, we beat the Islanders in New York 4-1 the next game.
This team can handle adversity, so I'm confident for Wednesday.

Yep..

 

[CutOnDime97]

Hakstol will give the 4th line + Manning more minutes.

It's like he turns a blind eye to any mistakes they make.
