All we do is win. Sammy looked fine. Defense was stellar in the first two periods, melted down in the 3rd real bad and left him kind of hung out on a couple. Brent Johnson pointed something interesting out, said he liked this game better for Sammy than the last one against the flyers because he didn't have to do anything spectacular to make saves because he played more under control.

Obviously still too close for comfort but that 3rd period was actually really good IMO. They gave up 2 goals but the Flyers had nothing else and the Caps xGF% in the period was over 60%. Good game overall.
Yeah, ppl think we are still a regular season juggernauts. While this is an aging team, we do well to compare in what division we are and team we have. They didn't give much space to the flyers in the 3rd, of course there were gaffes, but overall not bad at all.

Aside from the Bruins and Pens, no team in our division has a better playoff record in the past 10 years. Certainly not the Flyers if you know what I mean.

So there was not a single forward within hailing distance? Philly is not far from DC or Hershey. Taxi squad? Not a warm body, other than pay Seigs to sit on then bench?

Either way, any 4 point game is a good win.

I think it's because they didn't have any cap space to bring anyone over from the taxi squad. Wilson and Eller still have to stay on the roster so their cap hits still count.

Yup one of those situations where the only two mistakes they make ended up in the back of their net. Ideally Sammy makes one of those saves.

Panik should be the 13th forward when Wilson returns. Sprong has been the better player in fewer games. +4 vs Panik with a -6.
23 percent shooting percentage vs Panik with 6 percent.

It makes even more sense when you consider that Panik is a LW who is being used on the RW. Sprong is a natural RW.

Panik really seems to be a guy who lacks consistency. He can have a decent game but never seems to have several in a row. The only thing he seems to have on Sprong is size.
