Teams just hang around their own crease when we're in the O zone. Just collapse toward the net and we can't do anything on the perimeter to open it up.
This is where having a rusty, Schmidt less d corps is killing us. When teams tried this in response to our speedy breakout, we'd respond by having our blueliners wreak havoc from the point. Without that backend offensive support, we're being completely stifled.Teams just hang around their own crease when we're in the O zone.

0-0 feels pretty, pretty, pretty good compared to earlier games this year.Well it could be worse. Kings trailing the broken Senators 3-0 on 8 shots against. Yeesh.
One competent play by Merrill is worthy of special notice. I mean. I guess it's hard to argue that.
Well...I'm still cringing when he's out there, so maybe I'm too biased to see it. I'm getting shades of Anaheim era Bieksa from him.It's probably been his best game. This and the game vs the Wild.

It was hard to tell if any contact was actually made with the head. Looked more to me like he tweaked his elbow being driven into the boards. I'm not one for excuse making when it comes to dangerous hits to the head, but I didn't see any angle that showed there was any.Flyers announcers fair on the non-call on McNabb for the Lyubimov hit. (They like the physical play, however.)
