About as flat as they looked at home in awhile. Mason cant get healthy soon enough.

On the bright side, I really liked Luke Schenn tonight. Others who get a thumbs up... Couts, Streit, and Jake.

And that is why you don't start a backup when the starter is healthy...

Only issue was, it was debatable if Mase was 100% or not. Starting a 70-80% Mason vs. starting a 100% Emery is such a tough choice, and since Emery proved himself last game, I think it was the fair choice (didn't necessarily turn out to be the right choice, however).

Whatever, now they have no choice but to play Mase so next game should be a different story.

In fairness to Emery, the Flyers did manage only one Goal. I thought for sure they would be the better team tonight. Guess the Rangers adjusted.

ummm if Mason is ok enuf to dress as the backup then hes fine to play... you dont dress a player who isnt able to play.

Remember that huge push after the goal in the first??? What happened to that effort? It lasted 5 mins...

I'm sure it would've been a better game if we didn't get completely deflated by two soft goals in the first 10 minutes.

B Schenn? He's had a really good game IMO, he's been controlling the puck and setting up plays. He's been winning board battles and foot races. The 2nd line is usually trapped in their own zone, they actually got some extended time in the Rangers' zone tonight and a couple good looks on net. No conversion, of course, but they're playing well.

We can't play from behind against this Rangers team, their defense is too stifling. They just play defense the whole time and capitalize on breakdowns.

Maybe if Emery didn't let in 3 weak goals we could still be in this game. Or if our 1st line actually got 1st line minutes. Or we made any kind of adjustments other than moving Vinny around. Great decisions, Berube.

Schenn is good at skating and getting garbage goals. Zero hockey sense, can't pass, handles the puck like a grenade. He sucked ass tonight

Well the good news is they had much more puck possesion this game now if they can finish that would be nice. You have to take baby steps with this team
