Heeter is getting the start. I'm missing this one, Cal better make me proud

 

[Cobiemonster]

It'd be nice to see him get a win today and the Flyers going into the playoff series having won 4 out of the last 5 games in the regular season

I'd like to see the whole Phantom team in this one....

 

[wbon22]

I am hoping that the team in front of him shows up and doesn't take the day off.

I was surprised that we aren't seeing at least one of the Phantoms on the blueline. It isn't like Gill is overworked though.

Getting the cold ones cold and the grill going. Springtime afternoon Flyers' Hockey!!!

 

[wbon22]

AND....they don't show up.

Hartnell and Gussy stand around watching Skinner. NO ONE back checks allowing Staal to take that shot...and Tlutsy was wide open in the slot. (hence Heeter cheating off the pipe.)

 

[Cobiemonster]

Cal Heeter definitely doesn't look NHL ready

 

[Cobiemonster]

Hurricanes lead 3-1 after one period - hopefully Cal Heeter will get better as the game goes on

 

[awaz]

Feel for cal, he definitely looks nervous. Akeson looks good though!

 

[Cobiemonster]

4-1 now

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Feel for cal, he definitely looks nervous. Akeson looks good though!

Big fan of Jason Akeson's game. Hope the Flyers give him a chance at being a full time roster player next year.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Just got in. Safe to assume this is on Heeter?

 

[flyersfan4706]

Nice Kimmo

 

[flyersfan4706]

Simmonds...

 

[Cobiemonster]

Two goals in 10 seconds!!! 4-3!

 

[flyersfan4706]

Couturier! What a move!

 

[awaz]

Gotta love the fight in a game that doesn't matter in the standings. Hope heeter has a big third and they can get a win for him.

 

[wbon22]

Heeter has "happy feet" and it is making him slow to close the 5 hole and keeping his pads unsquare (which helps keep the 5 hole open). That said, as a team the Flyers only had about 5 skaters show up for the first period. There were 3 stoppable shots, but they were shots that should not have been taken/that open.

It is nice to see the team wake up in the second period.

Would like to see G get a couple more points and move into second...mainly cause that would mean two more Flyers goals.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Should be a good third period

 

[Cobiemonster]

Why is Claude Giroux still playing - get him off the ice
