We are struggling at the blue line this period. Down one at the end of two.

I need to see Claude Giroux take over this game in the third period - I have not seen very much from him in this one

 

[wbon22]

The forwards have forgotten how to back check completely....just sad

 

[Cobiemonster]

Time to have a great third period Flyers - every player needs to step their game up - let's go

 

[Retroram52]

Nice Pass by Giroux!!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Shake And Jake!!! Tie game!!! Let's not look back!!!!! Let's Go Flyers!

 

[Retroram52]

All tied up again.

 

[Retroram52]

I wish we would get the puck out of our zone much faster. It is taking forever to get down to the Isle's zone.

 

[Retroram52]

Raffl!!! 5-4!!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Michael RAFFL!!!!!!!!! Flyers take the lead!!!!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Another excellent pass by Giroux!!

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Baby That seals it with Read's empty netter!

 

[Retroram52]

We really did a excellent job in the last 4 minutes in the neutral zone keeping the puck in the Isles end of the ice and pounding the puck into the goal.

 

[Retroram52]

Emery does a excellent job replacing Mase. I'll take this win and onward we go to the home-and-home at the Coliseum Monday night.

Thats my man Raffl, love this kid! Thank You Comcast for not having this game on but instead you show the putrid 6ers who have been the Red Headed Stepchild of this city for the last two decades, no one cares! So I rush through my work to try and catch the end of the 3rd only to find African Tree Hockey on wtf!! F you Comcast!

 

[Cobiemonster]

What a win for the Flyers! Terrible game overall but they found a way to win, can't complain about getting the two points

 

[Retroram52]

Progeriakid, you crack me up sometimes!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Emery does a excellent job replacing Mase. I'll take this win and onward we go to the home-and-home at the Coliseum Monday night.

Monday Afternoon

Much better 3rd period from the boys. If they could play like that consistently, they might actually win games without having to come back from 2 down.

I am stunned. Andrej Meszaros just scored. Twice.

When Gus comes back I hope Berube gives Mez the Brent Burns treatment. Might as well give him a shot on wing instead of scratching him.
