[Strawberry Fields]

I don't care what y'all say- prolonging the misery or not, beating these ****s is always worth it.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Finally showed some fight. Neuvy and the Penalty Kill made the difference.

 

[Adrianopolous]

**** yeahhhhhh!

How'd you like the big goal by Coots?

 

[Tripod]

Provy played over 30 minutes...and got hurt,to miss thee last 1+ minute.

Beast!

[Pelle1985]

Refs owe use many Peco powerplays, game on

 

[CSKA1974]

Too bad our **** coach didn't play the best goalie earlier.

Was not neuvi injured till the last game?

 

[JXC]

Refs owe use many Peco powerplays, game on

YES

 

[Domino666]

I watched half the game out to dinner with family and missed the rest driving home, from what I saw: when you play with emotion and don’t take shit from the league’s darlings you rattle them, and Neuvy helped a bunch

 

[flyersfan018]

What time is the game on Sunday?

 

[SHANE523]

My 48 yo heart cannot take this shit anymore!

 

[Striiker]

So, in conclusion...

Neuvirth stole the game.
Giroux scores, in spite of Filppula's best efforts to fumble away the scoring chance
Filppula scores by some cosmic joke
Couturier steals and snipes one from the blueline

Provorov plays 30 minutes
Filppula leads all forwards in icetime??????????????????????????????????????????????
Couturier plays 2nd most of all forwards... but couldn't be 1C or on the PP????????
Patrick only plays 13 minutes???????
Manning 3rd in D icetime??????????



So, in other words, the team - in spite of Hakstols very best effort - managed to steal a win...

Let's see if Neuvirth can do it again Sunday.

 

[SuchySays]

Hopefully this gives them confidence to go f***ing wild in Game 6.

And maybe we'll get some calls? f***ers

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Don't get too excited. Neuvy probably pulled his groin stopping Crosby.

 

[Maylo]

 

[JXC]

LETS GO

Your ice time leaders in a game 5 victory:

Provorov
MacDonald
Filppula
Manning

As I've said, this is Hakstol's vision of sustainable playoff success.

 

[klutch]

Holy f*** I can’t stop laughing

 

[Tripod]

He was hurt I'm pretty sure until now (assuming you mean Neuvy)

Elliot probably is the best goalie we have tho, even though his kryptonite is the playoffs

No he isn't. Neuvirth is better, he just can't stay healthy.

He had a .915 SV% this year.

 

[Stizzle]

Confirmed Hak is here forever.

 

[Bleed orange]

The boradcast said game 6 will be 3PM on Sunday but is that really the case? Winnipeg is about to end their series and if Nashville wins theirs tonight too, the Flyers/pens will be the only game scheduled on Sunday... I can’t imagine the NHL scheduling the only game on a Sunday to be a matinee, but what do I know?

 

[Juicy Pop]

This is eerily like the regular season strategy; suck really hard over a set of games and then go on a huge winning streak because of some karmic balance bullshit.

 

[gto64dr]

Hakstol has always treated Nuevirth as the backup. Even though Mason and Elliot sucked in the playoffs.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Neuvirth is our best goalie but the obviously caveat is when healthy.
