I'll take Raffl. We spanked the Isles 4-0 last time we played them and they have technically lost 5 of their last 6, so they may be a little salty. We need a win here though or we fall behind Detroit. Massive game.

I expect to get four points here in this back to back regardless after that fiasco on Saturday. No excuses. Play like a champion.

However, I think I'm going to get drunk tonight (which is a rarity for me), so I hope I'm celebrating a win and not drinking away my frustrations...lol

 

[Maverick426h]

I think the Islanders are starting to suffer now without their starting goalie too. Greiss has never played this often and seen this many pucks at this level.

 

[wbon22]

So, everyone who had Cousins raise your hands....yeah...me either.

I turn on the game and Mason is making ungodly saves and Manning is ripping a wrister that would make Dennis Potvin proud.

 

[Maverick426h]

Mason is just better than Greiss, but we've played better hockey than the Isles as of late and it is starting to show.

Good game so far for the Flyers, keep it up guys!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Nice goal, 3-1 now

 

[Maverick426h]

We're not done with you yet either. As unlikely as it seems, I hope we draw each other in the playoffs again.

I think the most likely 1st round matchup for the Flyers has to be the Capitals. Our 1st round will likely be against the Rangers.

I have to disagree. We're playing better hockey than both the Islanders and Wings, plus we're beating them head to head. We're going to finish ahead of both, which at least gives us the 1st wild card, if not better.

The game on Saturday was an aberration. It was just the 2nd time in the last 5-6 weeks that we didn't show up to play. We're 6-1-1 against the last 8 playoff caliber opponents we've faced. Any team in the league would be jealous of that mark.
