Simmonds gets the penality.

Nice clearing the puck out of the zone by Mason.

Nice save again by Mason.

 

[Retroram52]

Simmonds is gone and Voracek returns after the PK.

 

[Retroram52]

Flyers now go on another PP.

 

[Retroram52]

Beautiful pass by MacDonald and Read nails it!!! Up by 4.

 

[Retroram52]

I wish could have used some of these goals against the Blues.

 

[Retroram52]

What a feed from White to Rinaldo and its now football score territory.

 

[Cobiemonster]

lol this is a rout

 

[Retroram52]

Rinaldo ends his drought. We took just 38 seconds to score two goals. Man where has this team been??!!

That makes 10-straight over the Red Wings at home. Great game and a lot people ended their scoring droughts today.

Now they're going on a tough road trip - need to continue that

 

[Retroram52]

Yea that would be really peachy if they tapped into the momentum of today on this roadie coming up.

To quote the imortal Lou Reed..."that was short and delicious"

It drives home issues with the coaching of this team, the engagement of the team as a whole and how good Mason really is.

..... off to face the Sens.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea wbon. As Hextall continues to make methodical and poignant changes to this club, a younger, perhaps bigger team is emerging with a nice mix of key vets who know how to win. We got a glimpse of that team today.

I was also amazed at the noticeable transformation of Rinaldo or so it seemed. He appears to have learned to control his penalty-inducing behavior and provide nice clean and huge hitting, getting involved in the offense with succinct passes that set-up goals, and just being a bit more disciplined since he sat out with the injury. Interesting indeed.
