You can counter the whole ‘problem with this strategy” argument with 3 words...Defense Wins Championships. IMHO, the Flyers lost because of 2 reasons: 1. The offense dried up. The top scorers on the team went AWOL. The Flyers only scored 38 goals in 16 games compared to Tampa who scored 47 goals in 2 fewer games, or even the Islanders who scored 54 goals in 16 games. 2. Special teams. The power play was beyond abysmal.

You need to video that and post it here!

Probably because the voting took place after the regular season was declared over. Oscar didn't return until the playoffs. I was actually surprised to se he was nominated this year. He should be a nominee next year.

I think Vegas in 6. I expect it to be an all out physical war. I think Vegas has more guns than Dallas even though the Stars have Kiviranta!

Tell us more about the brisket and pork belly burnt ends!

What?!? LOL

I’m gonna buy a beer for the next ICE official I see!!

Get your flame throwers ready. Contrary to a lot of opinions and the comments I’ve read, I think Nate Thompson is playing good. He is put in mostly on defensive end starts, winning face offs, and forechecking hard. He has beaten the Islanders defensemen to pucks dumped into the corners. I think he is playing within himself, not trying to do too much, and his play is benefitting the Flyers. He isn’t getting exposed. And while he isn’t an offensive juggernaut, he still has more goals than TK.

This is exactly correct. From the rule book... 60.1 High-sticking - A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height of the opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible for their stick. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through of a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a face-off.

Big storm rolling in down here. My satellite signal just washed out. Anyone have a link for the game?

Is it bad that I don't know who "The Dude" is and don't have a clue what movie he was in. Nor do I care...

Surprise roster adjustment for the Flyers just announced on NBCSN. Is Oscar Lindblom going to play? EDIT: Maybe not in the lineup. But he did take warmup with the team. They said he took warmup after the Game 2 loss to the Habs and it sparked the team. Hoping for the same effect!
