This sucks balls. Damn Vokoun looked very good. Washington is very good and the Flyers look lost.
Learn how to block a fucking shot or stay the fuck out of the god damn way, stop it with the ridiculous no look bulkshit passes & for the love of godwork on gaining the damn offensive zone. Briere, hartnell, lilja, Carle & pronged all looked like complete ass tonight.
also did anyone else notice how all the calls were in the first and last 10 minutes of the game and all the hooking dine by the caps on the 2nd just let go?
I'm trying to figure out Briere right now.
3 deflections and some lapses on D. Harts and Schenn -3 not good should have kept Couturier with them until Schenn found his NHL legs. Its hockey that shit happens no reason to panic.
They did outshoot them and outplay them all the goals happened in a little over 2 minutes which is fucked. Vokun was solid though but no one was stopping those deflections that Bryz had.
all that being said, i dont know why there's so much angst in here.. the flyers carried the play in 38 of the first 40 minutes and would've been up a goal,
Thhhhhhhatttt I am going to have to disagree with. I feel like the 1st period was the only 20 minutes we played reasonable hockey. Wasnt feeling too many scoring chances, and the laziness we are prone to seeing seemed to come out by the 2nd. The refs totally vanished in the 2nd also, which I feel hurt us quite a bit. Even if we dont score on the PP we needed some spark, but it was not there.
Bob got shat on by horrible goals that were not his fault, minus OV's 2nd. The D seemed like a melted marshmallow, soft and penatrable. Also, we had the same problems as the Kings game. Bury your fucking chances guys. I dont thinkwe had as many opportunities, but for crying out load how many pucks free in the crease do you need to get a 2nd on the board?
The worst part though is that we went flaccid (lol) after OV's 1st. We had proven so far that we wont just take it and quit, but tonight proved otherwise via worst case scenario.
eh.. honestly, i dont think they looked that bad tonight.. the d could've been better, but getting the puck in deep would've helped a lot of that.. some nights the bounces go against you, and tonight was one of those nights.. and on those nights you gotta get the puck in deep, and grind like crazy.. we've seen the team do that so far this season, tonight was not a night to try to be fancy cutting through the neutral zone.. and just about everyone out there aside from maybe talbot (still hate him though) was guilty of it tonight
Trading Hsrtnell and Carle sounds good about now. I fucking hate Hartnell. Send him packing.
I really really wish Flyer fans would quit blaming Prongers bad games and inadequacies on defense on Carle, he can only do so much.
And that is where the carelessness comes in. Anderwho said it best that this team tries to be fancy at home. I dont tihnk that was exactly the case tonight, but we certainly will make attempt at moves that are not needed. Followed by that is us losing it in the neutral zone, and we are chasing them to our net and the Caps get set up as we get tired. It is my biggest hatred in hockey to have the Flyers turn it over easily/not get it out when the opposition is set up. Kind of took that explanation a bit too far for something that is not really the problem though. Like you said in the 3 stars/goats Lava does need to get our lines set up. That was missed tonight
It isnt that Carle is bad, it is just that he is moveable.

Not singling you out Mall, it's just that Carle looks bad because Pronger is bad a lot of the time, Carle has his moments but He plays solid most of the time..
