Nine hours to game time. Happy Easter, all, and let's even this series up!

Happy Easter to you as well!

This is a must win in my eyes. Emery obviously needs to be good, but we really have to score more. 1 goal will never cut it

 

[4thstreet]

Happy Easter all!

In that spirit I asked the Easter bunny to make sure the Rags suck eggs!

 

[Vadered]

You said must win game?

I think today's the type of game where Claude Giroux needs to play upwards of at least 25 minutes, remember the game where he played 27 minutes? Might be one of those games where they have to do that, to double shift him and get him against other guys to give the Rangers different looks - these are the true adjustments that Craig Berube has to make - of course you want to roll four lines but if you play Claude Giroux a ton, it can open up chances for the rest of the team

G needs to have a good three zone game with speed and control. He needs his linemates to do the same.

I think the Flyers can win this series, but they will need to win in NY to get it done.

I don't believe this is a must win as they can rally back at home hopefully with Mase back but obviously if they can find a way today with their back up the rags would be in a panic. Pressure is on them!

I'm just hoping he's effective when he is on the ice, whether its twenty five minutesmor twelve. He wasn't really a factor in game one, and he's better than that.

Early power play for the Rangers, need a kill

 

[Vadered]

Wow, calling it tight today.

 

[Vadered]

Good kill to start.

 

[wbon22]

How do we always land the "C" broadcast team? Ugh

 

[Cobiemonster]

Whoops - left him open, 1-0 Rangers

 

[Vadered]

Ugh, terrible coverage.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Emery's lateral movement is getting exposed

 

[Vadered]

How do we always land the "C" broadcast team? Ugh

We're playing the Rangers?

 

[Vadered]

Stop taking penalties, please.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Getting two on Hank will be nearly impossible.
