Through the first two periods it took an embarrassing dive to get the Rangers on the board. Errson was totally screened on the shot. Good PP by the rags but they should not have been on the PP.
I really wish they would look at the tape after the game and punish and fine the soccer players. It’s embarrassing to the integrity of the game. That goes for Flyers who do the embellishment also. It ruins the game and if I want to watch soccer dives I will start wearing a skirt and seeking out lonely sailors…….
Enjoying the game through the first period. Igor is on top of his damn game. The guy has the best save percentage in the NHL for a reason. He got really lucky on that one clear where he popped it over the stick and on the bouncing puck Brink could not get to settle. I forgot how fun it is to watch two teams playing competitive hockey.
Ginning and Attard are both showing they belong in the NHL. When Drysdale Risto Seeler come back they need to challenge those guys for ice time. They are earning the right to stay up with the big club.
The Flyers young defensemen seem to be doing a pretty fair job for 3rd pair. Even Johnson has been positionally better but he still always seems to be skating in molasses. Looking forward to Errson back in goal and we should see a very competitive game.
I am developing an Andrew MacDonald level of hate for Sandstrom. Cechmanek’s corpse would be more effective as goal tender……I am 57 years old and crippled and could possibly carry an .829 save percentage.
Seeing how Hart is no longer in the picture, dumping peterson and Sandstrom is a no brainer. Stolarz and Errson would be a pretty decent tandem going forward.
I hope I am wrong and I am still watching the game but in my mind this is a loss because of Sandstrom in net. He would have trouble stopping a freakin beach ball………
Marchand tried to dive and get a call early on Johnson on a shoulder to shoulder hit that he whined about saying it was as knee on knee. I hope that Laughton kept saying scoreboard and smiling and pissing the whiny bitch off.
That was an intense high energy game from both teams. Well earned point for the Flyers. I would prefer Deslauriers being the popcorn guy over Coots even though I like Nic and his energy. The Flyers need all the help they can get with goals and that damn sure isn’t Nic’s strong suit….
As a guy with a nagging back injury I can tell you even when you are feeling “good “ you are never going to reach your pre injury performance. You subconsciously keep yourself from overextending to prevent re injury of your back.
