AlaskaFlyerFan Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Kind of a slow first 5 mins but then the boys woke up. They need to keep the pressure in the Preds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 We need to get greasy with Rinne. This is too close for comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I hate when these guys get to fancy and over think it in the shootout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 This was a game where we won everything except the game. Rinne is very good. I am glad we got a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRH Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 2 losses in a row boys, playoffs out of reach, better trade our players to avoid losing them in the expansion draft and start rebuilding again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this was sarcasm. Otherwise, I want some of what you're smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Down the road we may regret the point. And it's unusual that we open scoring and still lose. You can't say we played poorly. I think Rinne was the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Never seen a team struggle with a 2 man advantage like the Flyers. They have a knack for making the other team look good. It's frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Somebody criticized Mason's rebound control the last game which I thought was unwarranted. However, this game he continually served up juicy rebounds and I can't believe that Nashville was unable to capitalize on any of them. Rinne was Rinne, man can that guy make a team look bad. Even when Jake had him flopping on the ice like Hasek used to do he still kept the puck out. Hard earned point for the Flyers but teams are starting to catch on to their PP set up and they need to vary their entry into the zone I think to be a little less predictable.

Rinne was Rinne Agreed, I was at this game and had a close-up look at Mason during the 1st and 3rd (and Rinne in the 2nd); Mase left more than a few fat ones out there that came oh-so-close to ending up in the net. To me the game came down to possession; our guys couldn't win a face-off to save their lives, and when they did they couldn't retain possession more times than not.
