Really strong team building victory here. The Caps threw everything at us in the third period and we withstood it. At the very least here, we get another game of playoff experience for the players/coaches who need it.

In what could be the last home game of the season, it was good for them to get a win and make things a little better for the time being

Neuvy is awesome

Game 4 was about pride. Hopefully, the Flyers could win game 5 & make this a series.

I heard Laughton is OK but I didn't mind seeing Wilson get knocked out by Manning.

Fantastic effort anything is possible keep the faith gents! Go Flyers!

What is causing the Flyers' penalty kill to be this bad?

Quietly confident Michal Neuvirth Flyers' 'backbone' in Game 4

We can fix this and it started last night looking a little more aggressive.

Last night they looked damn sharp on killing the PP....
It was a nice change to see them dominate the way Hakstol's system is set up!!!!

Shayne Gostisbehere, Flyers' power play announce series arrival

Happy birthday Ghost!

Yea I agree Psych-Ward. They were kicking some serious butt and they were staying disciplined as well. Their forecheck was excellent through most of the game, they figured out Holtby, and they adjusted to the Caps taking away the middle of the ice that forced the Flyers to the outside and relegated to pinpoint passing which we are not quite there yet. They played the most complete game to date. I hope it continues because we can even this series up one game at a time.
