Good to see Leon Stickle is alive and well.

tonigh the flyers must draw strength from the immortal words of Dave Hakstol. Say what you want about him, he had a way to motivate the boys when we needed it.   "Win, or something."

It was on a follow through.

 

High-sticking. 60.1. High-sticking - A "high-stick" is one which is carried above the height of the opponent's shoulders. A player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through of a shooting motion.

 

That's from the ol' rule book bud.

It was a follow through so no penalty that is why.

Here is a take on possible replacement if our Coots is out.  Raffl is the probable:

I have to believe our D will be "activated" bomb away.  It seems to be the only way we score.  My faith in the elders is limited.

Wow.

 

Frost must be a steaming pile of garbage if Coots a center goes down and the kid can't get a sniff.

 

I just thought it would be nice to get the kid some experience too is the high stakes NHL playoffs for the future.

 

But hey what do I know. At least it's friday!!!

 

And game day!

hyperbole, I know but I do agree also.  If he's (Frost) going to be the guy he needs to be able to do it no matter who it's against. 

They threw Giroux in vs the Penguins at Frost's age and experience level and he was better than "fine". I'd want to see what Morgan's got. I know he'd be able to skate with Pageau If he's brought up for 3rd line duties. I don't know if Bunny running into people is what is needed.

Please stop. It was 100% incidental contact. No intent.

This is exactly correct.  From the rule book...

60.1 High-sticking - A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height

of the opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible for their stick. However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through of a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a face-off.

Well would you look at that.

Flyers made a mockery out of the Islander 3-1 series lead and tied it up sending this thing to a Game 7 where Philly SHOULD have the momentum, and anything really can happen.

And that anything includes the Islanders winning the series after all.
But if you are NY, you most definitely did NOT want to find yourself in this spot........Philly on the other hand, should be ecstatic that they were able to push this thing to the final game....and can now go for a win and a date with the Lightning in the East Finals...
An East Finals that, if it takes place, would be a rematch from the East Finals of 2004!

Does Barry Trotz have any other tricks up his sleeve for just such an occasion? If he does, expect him to empty them all out in Game 7.

I actually didn't watch this entire Game 6, so not sure, momentum wise what the teams were doing.
I still don't have a preference as to an opponent for the Lightning, but I'd be lying now if I said I maybe, perhaps, can push for the Flyers a bit due to their unpredicatable and exciting nature.....and it doesn't hurt I got a WHOLE BOARD full of Flyer fans I can trade trash talk with..... :bigteeth:

Game 7 gunna be gud!

Good win.  We showed some gumption.  That said, if we score an occasional power play, maybe we don't need overtime heroics.  

 

The team skated well.  Losing a two-goal lead is bothersome (second game in a row).  Boy, it was Suzuki last series, Barzal this series--quick shots in the danger zone, and we can't seem to contain it.  

 

Hart was fine.  Raffl is a good guy to have on board.  Laughton is core--a first rounder showing he was worth drafting. 

 

Food for thought--Oskar on for 17 mins; Ghost sitting out.  Hagg has three assists overall.

TFG:

 

I remember that series all too well.  It was a 7 game heroic effort.  Keith Primeau and Sami Kapanen almost carried us to victory.  I view that performance as the end of an era for the club.  It was pre-strike and probably the last physical, Old-Style Flyer club.  You could be very proud of that squad, even in defeat.

Definitely a rough n tumble series.
In fact, if I remember right, the teams traded wins and losses....the Bolts juts happened to take away the last one.

Classic contrasting of styles in that one.
