JackStraw Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Also, seriously now, Lundqvist is literally the best goalie in the world. He will be the difference more often than not, and he's capable of beating opposing goalies on their hot streaksExactly. The Flyers can't expect to win the goalie battle when they play the Rangers and for the most part, neither can anyone else. They have to win the other battles.

Podein25 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 [We] have to win the other battles.In general I like the way we are battling this year relative to last. Guys like Voracek, Simmonds, Hartnell, Giroux, Read, Cooter, Talbot etc are all working their butts off as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant it in the more general sense, to beat the Rangers (with Lundqvist) you have to get pucks and bodies to the front of the net. Eliminate turnovers, play solid positional defense, puck support, those kinds of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStraw Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I didn't mean you specifically, I meant" you" in the general sense. Well not really general, I meant "you" in the Flyers sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
