Game Thread: Habs @ Flyers 7:30pm

I agree Cobie!

 

[Vadered]

Subbans gonna Subban.

 

[Cobiemonster]

P.K. Subban took a penalty at the end of the period - Flyers getting a power play to start the 3rd period - need to make him and the Habs pay!

 

[Vadered]

Alright, Flyers. Two goals up and a chance to grab a third! Let's go Flyers!

 

[Vadered]

The best part about that power play was when it expired.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Need a big kill here by the Flyers

 

[Vadered]

Well that probably didn't need to happen.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice kill on the PP. Just bring it home from here and I hope they don't fall asleep like they did against New Jersey.

 

[Retroram52]

Hartnall was sooo close.

 

[Vadered]

Wow, Hartnell probably owes his entire game's salary off of that one shift.

 

[Vadered]

So, the Habs realize they are down 2, right? 80 seconds left and they haven't pulled Budaj yet.

 

[Retroram52]

Mason got mauled on that one.

 

[Vadered]

They aren't going to pull him AT ALL?

 

[Vadered]

Oh well, we win!

 

[Retroram52]

10 straight wins at home for the Flyers and a good night with a very fast start. Nice game on a back-to-back stint. Mason was good as usual in net.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers win 3-1!!! 10 wins in a row at home!!!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Another impressive performance by the Flyers against a quality opponent. Major props to you guys.

 

[Progeriakid]

This work thing is really getting in the way of my viewing of the flyers! Glad they won but missed the whole game, again! Glad they have turned the corner and are now showing night in night out they are true contenders not pretenders!

* After the game, this was Therrien's explanation for his refusal to pull his goaltender in the final 90 seconds and simply conceding the win to Philadelphia: "You know what? In the third period we got four shots on net. When you have momentum and you’re creating a lot of chances, there is a reason why you can take a goalie out, especially when you’re down by two goals. But when you have four shots on net and you’re down by two goals, there is no reason."

I think pulling the goalie is overrated.
