radoran Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Big win for the Flyers - and it really looks like they are coming together as a squad. Taking the early lead, absorbing the two hits and then coming back for the win is huge. The obvious glee that they are playing with is a tremendous change from the Berube Years. They look like they're having a lot of fun together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the challenge becomes how they handle adversity when it inevitably comes. Last night was the first game I've watched end-to-end in a while - but it was evident that the demeanor and the overall atmosphere has changed a lot. Simmonds after the game was talking about the confidence they have on the ice. They don't seem to immediately get down and deflated in the face of adversity (going down 2-1 going into the 3rd, for example). It will surprise no one that I felt Berube's attitude and coaching was holding the team back. I think the effect Hackstol has had on essentially the same squad is very telling.

Getting great goaltending is just the icing on top! I don't have an issue with them talking about Neuvirth as the MVP for the first half of the season - his play stole some games early and those points (as we've seen in years past) are vital when you come down the playoff stretch. But I think Mason is the guy they will need to have be the starter. If his game comes together, it'll be more than just icing. And, of course, having two effective goalies isn't a Bad Thing by any measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that was a blown call imho I can't see how that rates 2 minutes. The refs should have some discretion on those DOG, over-the-glass plays.

You know it's a bad call when even Olczyk agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canoli Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So Eddie Olzyk hates Flyers' fans? Good for him. But saying it on the air is pretty classless. He's obviously a real professional. Professional what is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Knut Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Question: does anyone have an explanation for why there were only 4 flyers on the ice for the Bruins first goal? I got so confused. Figured they were on a PP and somehow I missed the penalty, but then apparently they weren't. What happened? The NBCSports team caught up on it later on in the broadcast, but they didn't seem to have an explanation either. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Really bad line change is what I heard....Was at the game so didn't notice at the time. Does than mean the Bruins technically scored 2 PPGs?

Does than mean the Bruins technically scored 2 PPGs? Well not technically, but effectively. The Flyers did a great job of staying out of the box for the most part. They got burned when they did sit, but considering Boston's PP is so strong, I thought they did well being fairly disciplined throughout the game. It makes me feel better that it was a total snafu though, you know? Like the game against the wild last week... The goals the Flyers allowed were complete break down mental mistakes. I'd rather see 2 abberation goals against us that happen because of random mental mistakes than see even just 1 goal that comes from an inferior system or from just being completely outclassed. It's easier to not make utterly stupid mistakes in the future than it is to just be a flat out better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yup. Just looked like a line change where someone forgot they were going out next. Happens. Good to see them rally and overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
