so Devils, Blue Jackets, and Panthers all win while we lose. Where does that leave us at the end of the night? WC2? And barely that?

 

 

Flyers need to win their two remaining games and control their own destiny.

Magic # is 3.

I am not sure how Mrazek can make some decent saves and then just spread his legs like a hooker on EX. They might have won this game if they had pulled Mrazek for the 3rd period after he let in 3 softies.....

I had bad vibes about this game.

 

So...what did we learn?

 

1) No PM next year

 

2) Nolan Patrick is growing up

 

3)  Our D is inconsistent

 

4)  Maybe we pursue JT in the off-season.

Disagree completely.  Islanders were setting picks and hanging all over them.  They weren’t flat, each flyer was dragging at least 190lbs of islander around on his back.  

 

The isles lets just played a cheap ass game and got away with it. I just can’t figure out why.  

 

First game  I watched like this since the late 90’s. 

 

Good thing Mrazek showed up drunk again or th comeback might have had a chance.

This is a game they needed versus a bad team. Inexcusable to come out flat like they did. They'll look back at this game and not laugh. 

 

I really don’t think they came out flat.  The islanders were interfering left and right and the refs took the night off from those calls for some reason It was clearly a deliberate and specific tactic for the islanders.  I haven’t watched that kind of a display in years.  

 

We can scream at mrazek for playing drunk again (he might as well not have been there in some of those shots), but we should be screaming at Eberle for setting an illegal pick that kept Couturier from covering his man and getting away with it. 

 

Flyers were being taken down and blocked away from the puck left and right. Finally started getting calls late in the game but it wasn’t enough that stop the take downs.

1) PM shouldn’t be playing now. 

2)Yep he looks good on PP1

3) They pinch consistently, but they’re not all good at it and you can’t pinch when Lehtera’s line has to be the one covering for you

4) Any number if non-$10 million guys can score if left alone in front of the goalie.

This is it. If they resign this motherf**ker i am not renewing y Gamecenter subscription....will not watch that piece of sh it man the pipes.

 

So i think you go with Elliott next game and let Lyon back him up (i know Hak won't do that it will be Leaky Pete).

This gang will make playoff entry more exciting than it needs to be. That said, I agree with John Boruk that in a league where 52% of the teams make the playoffs, the O and B shouldn't be so excited.

Ugly game to watch...

 

Please get Gudas and Manning off the ice... they are terrible.   Why are they getting so much TOI?  20+ mins in last nights game is exposing them for what they are.    I will take Sanheim and McDud over them any day of the week.

 

Why the hell would you put out your 4th line after tying the game?

 

Hak continues to make terrible on-ice decisions that directly impact this team's play.    

 

Mrazek - please let this guy walk.   

 

They still control their own destiny which I am not sure makes me feel any more confident or anxious.

They have to play ONE of Gudas or Manning.  But really Hagg has to come back in.  He just has to and at this point, sadly, I think it should be for Gudas who has just looked awful.

 

Hakstol's choices are mind numbing.  He put out the 4th after they'd already been burned in a game when most of the Flyers team had been outskated for 40 minutes... so you put out your slowest line that has no hope of offensive pressure?  The End of game specialists that can't go :30 without getting scored on when it matters most?  That's who you ice?  brilliant move.

 

Mrazek:  don't let him walk... leave a boot print on his shorts on the way out the door.  This guy's only hope is the KHL next year.

 

With the PK and PP as god awful as they are, Hextall has no choice but to fire 50% of his coaching staff.  But with these choices by hakstol... I'm just not sure it would matter.  Unless the Flyers are up 5-1, they're never going to be save with him behind the bench.

Yes, they have to play one of them.... Just not 20 plus minutes a night
