[Juicy Pop]

Holy **** boys, average goaltending!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Good for Mase. Be that guy the rest of the season, please.

 

[orangecrush8]

We love you again Mason!

 

[Rebels57]

Mason finally showed up

Hearing Raffl talk about how hard he took his undeserved healthy scratch truly infuriates me.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I missed the whole game essentially. I thought Neuvirth was starting tonight?

 

[Striiker]

Wellllllll

This is the type of game they win. Lose to the trash teams and then squeak out a win against a decent team that gives a little hope... which will be dashed in the next game.

This isn't a "Haha look I called it" situation, it's a "god damnit this team is frustrating and predictable" kind of thing.

Good game and Masons best game yet... by far.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Thanks Steve.

I'm disgusted at VDV and Bellemare playing in that situation. They shouldn't be playing hockey at all, especially over Claude ****ing Giroux.

 

[TCTC]

Mason with a good 3rd period. Maybe there's still hope...

 

[Rich Nixon]

2 goals against is a shutout this year.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I missed the whole game essentially. I thought Neuvirth was starting tonight?

He did. Was injured in the first and Mason started the second.

 

[BritainStix]

Wow, Did anyone catch Bundys interview with Raffl?

Raffl was seriously pissed that he was scratched last night.

 

[Beef Invictus]

IMO winning is good. TBH LORD COMCAST is right, great Flyers Shutout!.

 

[hckyplayer8]

lol playing that last save up like it was some crazy stop.

Solid save but come on Staal essentially put it back into the pads.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Wow, Did anyone catch Bundys interview with Raffl?

Raffl was seriously pissed that he was scratched last night.

Huh, I wish I'd paid attention now IMO

 

[Hiesenberg]

He should be, these guys aren't dumb. They see the players who suck and are given unlimited chances.

 

[Magua]

Raffl looks and sounds like he survived a war. He was intense in that interview.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes when he said he tried to use the scratch as a chance to learn and improve and get better and took it to heart. Yeah, he's the one who needed it. Guy comes to play every night and every shift, results be damned.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Have we traded for Niemi yet?

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

He did. Was injured in the first and Mason started the second.

Oh really? Hmmmmm Stolarz getting a call up for next game!? Thought it was weird to see Mason back to back after letting in 6 last night.

 

[Magua]

Oh, and **** yeah, Mason.

Next game I expect 5 goals, but hey, you never know! Hope for the best, expect the worst.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah. Raffl works his skin off.

 

[TCTC]

He should be, these guys aren't dumb. They see the players who suck and are given unlimited chances.

I doubt they feel like that. At least I hope they don't. They're teammates after all.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Mason had a good game. Glad he came in and shut it down (even though he gave up a goal).

 

[Appleyard]

Thanks Steve.

I'm disgusted at VDV and Bellemare playing in that situation. They shouldn't be playing hockey at all, especially over Claude ****ing Giroux.

The Flyers have one of the worst records in 5v6 situations in NHL over last few years... because they play bad players and collapse.

The teams with the best put out their best players and score half the time to ice game.

 

[BritainStix]

I honestly can't understand how Raffl or Lyubimov have been scratched even once this season. They have outplayed Bellemare, Vandevelde and Weise in every game. It literally makes zero sense.
