mason once again comes through with timely saves-he is so huge for us.also not so long ago i thought couturier was overated-thought he had a good series against pens but besides that did not think he was gonna be great-i have never been so happy to be so wrong in my life-he is just growing as a player every game and is going to be a monster in this league for a long time!thank god hes ours!!

Left for hockey and the Wings just made it 3-1. Man I was surprised (pleasantly) when I got home.

Trade of the year for Homer on the Downie/Talbot swap. The Read-Cooter-Downie line is just sick.

 

[Funf]

It was nice to see us back bounce tonight. I think this was our first comeback win of the year???

Too bad about all the penalties in the 2nd - could have been a blowout if we weren't so undisciplined.

absolutely true.

 

[Unstable]

We just beat the Wings minus their two best players but plus a lot of help from the refs, so let's call it fair.

Awesome third period.

Awesome third period.

Some Wings fans on the main boards feel like the refs favoured the Flyers.

Uh-uhh, ofc.

I don't care really. I'm just glad they didn't call it quits like they normally do in those situations, not only did the comeback but they dominated the Wings in the third to do so.

yea cuz clearly our 2-3 PPs outweighed their 10PPs.

 

[Harold Bingo]

My favorite part of the game, besides the win, was Downie calling Abdelkader a "f**king dummy" at the end.

Also, as mentioned earlier in the thread, Raffl played great tonight. I'm very impressed with his poise. Was hoping he'd get the empty net goal; you could tell Couturier wanted to give it to him.

And I hope Downie keeps his mustache.

Wow... you know what, you cannot argue with people that think that way, lol.

supposedly Eddy Olczyk won the 50/50 raffle at the game

Will it be paid in IOU's?

I read that Joe Louis Arena makes a lot of money selling bullet proof vests in their fan shop.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I also realized in the third that Chris Lee was refing this game & then things suddenly made sense to me.

Lee and St. Laurent.
how did that happen.

good win tonight. really thought they were doomed after they fell behind 3-1. Especially the way the goals have been hard to come by for this team. Thankfully Detroit forgot to defend in the 3rd period and the Flyers took full advanage.

 

[BillDineen]

Great comeback. I thought they would fold down 3-1. Couturier line is the best by far. Giroux and Hartnell played well, but Voracek is still lost in the woods.

 

[kudymen]

I couldn't watch this last night but I see Couts had a beastly night, can anyone give me a quick summary, please?

Edit: Just saw the highlights, I think Doc was crying after the 5th and 6th goal... He sounded so sad

 

[OzFlyers]

NBC still have not picked up on how well Mason is playing. The only thing I heard them say about him was that he played three seasons for Columbus!

Coots is blossoming before our eyes!

 

[dats81]

Nice comeback win but pretty uneven performance and questionable reffing!

 

[FlyersFan61290]

Can't really assume things I guess but I think Carolina and Colubus will fall out of it by the end of the season

Especially Columbus with the Bob injury. Not that he's been lights out but there's a lot riding on McElhinney's success now.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Couturier is looking outstanding right now.

 

[Hiesenberg]

And Steve Downie has 16 pts so far....not bad for a goon

Roenick was scoffing at the idea that Mason has been great, whenever game he was doing commentary with JJ and Clement he was on CSNPhilly earlier and Tocchet was rolling his eyes at JR for suggesting that Mason hasnt been the reason the flyers have been semi competitive.

 

[Legion of Gloom]

I did not like the game until we scored our second goal and felt we now had a chance. I love Coots, Mason gave us a chance to win.
Hartnell had a nice goal and game hopefully he gets on track, now we need Ville Voracek to get on track

We take too many minor penalties, I wish we would have more fighting penalties

 

[Flyotes]

This is sarcasm for those who can't read the internet.

The way he plays is why I've always been so high on him. High level of compete. Strong as hell. Takes no guff. Gives a bit too much of it, which should be tempered as he ages. Sacrifices his body to make plays. Basically, a terror on the ice. He isn't going to score 40, but he's going to make the opposing team beat him. A true glue guy, like Read.

No wonder that line is clicking. They win battles.
