Awesome win! Mason was big and so was the first line!

 

[Domino666]

Solid win, Kimmo will be fine, oh and Bobby Ryan

 

[flyguy]

Shutout!

Too bad it couldn't be against a team fielding a full NHL lineup, but hopefully it gets this team going.

We got lucky on a few plays and Detroit hit a bunch of iron, but I liked how the team played overall.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Awesome result. Good for the confidence in front of the "dreaded" California trip.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i might have been totaly wrong in the prediction thread, but i dont care..

SHUTOUT baby...

woot woot

 

[RoDu]

Wait?What? A shutout?

 

[Garbage Goal]

Did they say Mason has four shutouts now against the Red Wings? That would be surprising considering Mason's career thus far and how good the Red Wings used to be.

Positives

-That was a really fun game.

-Gustafsson is awesome.

-Giroux is awesome.

-Mason shutout.

Cons

-Timonen injury. Hopefully that's not serious because that would seriously damage this D more then it is already. He's literally our only consistently good two-way D aside from Gustafsson so that would be not good if we lost him.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The first line (Giroux, Hartnell, & Voracek), Mason, & the third pairing (Gus & Schenn) were my standouts for the night.

Nobody really stuck out in a negative way to me tonight.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Mase needed that.

Props to the Gus Luke pairing and the 4 th line , both fantastic. Once Raffl finally gets with Couts and Read, that will be one of the best third lines in NHL. Get Zac with VV and Hall, and that is a killer bottom 6.

 

[Jtown]

I'm glad hartnell was moved up to the first. He is our 2nd best winger.


The lines and pairings looked great tonight.

[bennysflyers16]

Leafs just scored, ****. Need Sens to,hold on here.

 

[MadFerIt95*]

The Flyers-Wings game tonight (The Flyers being the Panda on top)

 

[cheesesteakarmor]

Kimmo

Big win though. We'll still get blown out out West.

 

[Garbage Goal]

This was probably the best game all season so far.

Schenn looks so much better with Gustafsson instead of Meszaros (not just this game, every game they've played this season) it's unbelievable.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Mason's fourth shutout against the Red Wings. That is the highest total in his chart.

 

[Phileeguy]

Looking back, I think I know why Harts passed to G on the rush before Claude eventually scored instead of trying for the hatty. He knew it was too cold out to deprive fans of their head gear. Yeah, that's it.

 

[Tripod]

The first line (Giroux, Hartnell, & Voracek), Mason, & the third pairing (Gus & Schenn) were my standouts for the night.

Nobody really stuck out in a negative way to me tonight.

Schenn +3 and Gus +2. Nice.

 

[Sniped]

Nice shut out win!

Be prepared to get **** on by these West teams now.

 

[Prongo]

Gus had 22:52
L.Schenn had 20:59

That is not third pairing minutes. Although Kimmo did go down.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I was too busy to watch the game tonight. But, to my other fellow Flyers fans. Does this win instill in any confidence in us or do you still think we are going to get scraped by Cali and then we realize oh ya, our defense is putrid?

 

[Legion of Gloom]

Does Adam Hall ever have a bad game?

 

[CavemanLawyer]

It has been said for awhile but needs repeating... Don't....****....with.... Schenn/Gus. Both players do exactly what the other lacks and feed off each other perfectly. They are like peanut butter and jelly. Lets Gus do the flash and Schenn do the bread and butter shut down. Means no stupid L. Schenn spin moves and dekes, and no Gus trying to work the body on someone in the slot. Schenn seems to know "If I don't have a clean out, give it to Gus so he can find it" and Gus knows "Play positionally sound and work the stick, if they get by, Luke will clean them out".

 

[Garbage Goal]

Nice shut out win!

Be prepared to get **** on by these West teams now.

It's still a scary schedule and the West is better, but they aren't as good as people think really. Since the West started out dominating the point distribution in East versus West is like 55 to 45 or something like that last I checked.

Also, pretty much every top team in the West has cooled off to some degree. Chicago has four wins in all of January so far, St. Louis is kind of up and down IIRC, and LA plus Vancouver are doing pretty badly and can't really score any goals for a while now. I'm still scared ****less of Anaheim and San Jose though. Even though I don't think San Jose goes far in the playoffs.
