Two great saves on the 3-on-3 by Mason!

 

[Vadered]

Damn, well, can't say we didn't have our chances. Great game. Hope the Flyers can play like this all year (though with better results, of course).

 

[Retroram52]

Mason is stellar in goal. Laughton with his great speed draws the penalty shot!

 

[Retroram52]

Sorry vadered. I am on a bit of a delay.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it. I agree Vadered. WE did have our opportunities but I really like thee speed of Laughton.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, onward we go. Sucks to start the season with the L.

Laughton looked good. Mason looked super. Back kick on the OT goal was non existent. Too much coasting

 

[Vadered]

Sorry vadered. I am on a bit of a delay.

No, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't spoil it for you.

 

[Retroram52]

Nope. No worries. I just hated the outcome in a game we could have won with just a bit more effort. I know, its preseason and all.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Not a horrible start point on the road D looked ok and Umburger surprised. G and Jake need to get it going sat.

I ultimately come away from this game feeling like we're going to win a lot more games this season than anyone could have predicted.

The energy and pace were there. The secondary scoring was there. The defense and goaltending were there too. Clearly the top line was just off a touch, but that worries none of us.

I do think the penalty by Medvedev and the goal to follow could've both been easily avoided and then we possibly win the game in regulation. Mason had a fine game overall, but that's a weak goal to give up from a bad angle and what the hell is Medvedev doing holding two sticks? That's like dragging a bag of pot from your vehicle while driving by a police station.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Maverick426h on your points. Mason was playing so well in regulation and has some massive saves that help to get us to the overtime. Then that cheesy goal he gave up in the 3-on-3 just boggled my mind. Don't know what Medvedev was doing though. Strange indeed.

Good game last night, they needed to come out with points and they got one which could be huge later on in the season
