I'd like to see us get a win against these guys.

Yep

They've had trouble against them lately

More than anything, they need to prove a lot of people wrong by being able to win a game and keep a winning streak going after having a long break - the last two times they had winning streaks, a break came and they completely fizzled after the break - they can't let that happen again tomorrow night, have to keep the momentum going

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I remember those fizzles, Cobiemonster. Berube may get the ax if it happens this time. We shall see.

They have four on the road after this game tonight so if they falter now, it could get out of hand

Someone was telling me yesterday that the Flyers, when looking at their schedule this month and Boston's, that they should be able to close in on the wild card race by the end of the month - if they are anywhere, remotely close by the end of the month I'd be thrilled - it would make the last month+ of the season more exciting

Grossmann and Laughton back tonight. D pairings

Streit - Schultz
MDZ - Schenn
A Mac - Grossman.

CC back to the press box.

How embarrassing that God Bless America is getting broken out for this game and season. Need a reality check

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nick Schultz makes it 1-0 Flyers!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Lecavalier to Schultz for the first goal and then LeCavalier for almost a second one. So close.

 

[Retroram52]

Mason is razor sharp early.

 

[Retroram52]

We win tonight, that is five straight at home and great momentum for the upcoming road trip.

 

[Retroram52]

That was an awesome left leg split save by Mason.

 

[Retroram52]

What energy drink has LeCavalier been imbibing? He is flying out there. And Voracek and Giroux are just so smooth.

 

[Retroram52]

The Bellemare line is really giving the Islanders fits.

 

[Retroram52]

1-0 after one. Let's keep this going in the second.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers lead 1-0 after one period!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Hahaha Chris VandeVelde scores!!! 2-0 Flyers!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Mikhail Grabovski gets the Isles on the board - 2-1 late in the second period

 

[Cobiemonster]

Clutterbuck ties it up at 2-2 - two late goals given up by the Flyers - they'll need to be much better than that

 

[Cobiemonster]

Isles and Flyers tied at 2-2 after two periods - Flyers will need a much, much better third period to win
