Howie58 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I guess we cross our fingers and hope for an RJ scoring streak. Scratching Read is interesting and a comment on his under-performance. On the other hand, Weal and Gagner show some speed and hockey sense. Mason's lifetime performance against these folks is abysmal. Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poconono Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Send Laughton back down to LV. You took Cousins from us. We need a spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why it's time to give him a rest and Neuvy is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swflyers28 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 We needed a win in regulation. Damn it. Ghost is a legend. Get the OT win boys. BTW, they need to start showing up in the first period, this is getting annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhole Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Of all the things that the refs parked their whistles for in that game, and that's what you're gonna call.?. In overtime? Not saying flyers deserved to win, but that's just garbage pail refereeing. Congrats to Ghost, heck-uva streak, and literally the only thing that makes watching a game which includes the Devils tolerable. God I can't stand that franchise.

I missed OT...saw the box score...So the Debs won on the PP in OT? Terrific. If it really impeded the puck-carrier's progress, fine, the players ought to know better by now. But I'm sick of watching this "zero tolerance" policy on trifling little hooks and nudges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a count going of some 8+ infractions (both ways, all of which were as bad or worse than Jakes penalty) in just the last 10 minutes and overtime. No whistles, felt like a playoff game. I even commented out loud 'well, I guess you can deck the schitt out of em.' It's just so inconsistent, and underwrote the outcome of this game.
