Quite simply, big time players need to step up in big time games, so I'll take Giroux.

Huge, huge game here. These are the ones we usually play well in, so that is what I expect to see.

We both made the playoffs in our FF league

Really? I just checked out my roster to make some changes. I didn't realize we are in the playoffs already? My roster is beat up from both QBs and Gronk. Great start and very bad ending.

Yeah the last four weeks of the season are playoffs(two weeks per matchup)

I was 4-6 and won my last three games - I had the most points scored of anyone in the league and that was the first tiebreaker since there were about four of us who were 7-6

Hopefully AMac's trip to the minors taught him turnovers in our own zone are a bad thing.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Passing on a 2on1? Twice? And it didn't go into the boards?

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers and Isles trade goals on Isles PP - Pebbles and then Nick Leddy - 2-1

 

[Cobiemonster]

I love Mase and I don't know if there are still issues off the ice that stemmed from the beginning of the season, but it's time for Neuvy to start carrying the load more - it's becoming more and more clear that every time Neuvy starts, the team plays more consistent - it's hard to win hockey games when you're giving up the first goal - it seems like too often when Mase is in net they're giving up the first goal - you have to at least hold it scoreless for the first part of the game so the offense can find their rhythm

 

[Cobiemonster]

Also, it's becoming clear as day that it was a mistake to re-insert R.J. Umberger and Ryan White right off the bat - the team was playing so well with Colin McDonald and Nick Cousins - I don't get why those two guys were put back in the lineup so easily, it's not as if they're important players to this team that are proven to be consistent players - you have to start rewarding players based on how they're playing and unless it's Claude Giroux/Jake Voracek type players, those guys should not be put back in the lineup right away - it messed with the chemistry and I did not like it at all

I hope to god that Hexy can get rid of at least 3 of these veterans so that some of these players from Lehigh can get in the lineup on a permanent basis because they're more deserving

And as I type this, the fourth line connects on a goal - still doesn't change my opinion on this

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I agree Cobiemonster. Its time to move those older dudes and go with the youth movement similar to other NHL clubs.

 

[Retroram52]

Giroux ties it up in the third. This one is very winnable.
