Game Thread: New York Rangers(2) vs. Philadelphia Flyers(3) | ECQF

Now that is how you beat the rags in the garden! Everyone showed up offensively, they played great D especially in the third, Emery caught fire, they took away the rags' lanes, and they didn't go in on the forecheck especially in the third period as well. On we go to Philly with the series tied.

Flyers "in control" w/ home ice now...Congrats!

Great game to watch.

Emery stepped it up after a rocky start. This is a potential shutout with Mason though. He'll be welcomed back.

Discipline needs to be emphasized. We were playing with fire today

on all counts Flyersfan.

I have to give Emery credit for making some clutch saves, but Mason is still regarded as the one of the two that can and will win a game for us on his own.

The officiating was terrible against both teams. The Rangers clearly benefited though with twice as many power plays.

I loved the intensity and overall defense in the third period. Really found another level.

Hey, I'm just glad Akeson played a solid game after that penalty in the first game. Good job not letting it get to you. And congratulations on your first NHL playoff goal (in your fourth ever NHL game, no less)!

Agreed, nice how he redeemed himself with the game tying goal today. Congrats to him, now he could go back to Philly without being the goat.

Nice to see them bounce back, didn't think they had it in them but they found a way - now go home and take care of business there

Good game by the Flyers today, great game by Emery. Once the flyers adjusted to the rangers trying to make Emery go side to side and blocking those lanes it was game on. Coots was huge in the D zone, and it may have been one of the best games I've seen luke schenn play (I usually knock him, and was actually hoping Gill would get the nod over him). I'd like to see Read step it up a bit, he seems to be getting knocked off the puck easy. Do you start Emery in game 3 even if Mason is ready????? Personally, I go with the guy who is showing he's up to the task, and Emery has been very good to excellent the past 2 games.

cheers all

I was shaking in my boots at 2-0. Not gunna lie. But they bounced back and settled in to play a pretty solid game defensively. Emery was absolutely gigantic in the second period while they built the lead. Coots was big.

Can't believe Luke schenn has a game winning goal in the playoffs

Interesting stat, 11 Flyers recorded a point today, no one had more than 1 point. A real team effort here. Props guys, and happy Easter/420.

I think it's the resiliency of this team that slipped everyone's mind following the game one tragedy. We set a record for third period comeback wins this season and no deficit is too great for us, especially when the game is still in the first period. Now it's time to defend home ice. All we really had to do was steal one on the road. Mission accomplished so far.

I just dont think the Flyers can win without Mason

 

[Maverick426h]

I have to give Emery props for finally coming to play, but for fuck sake was that ever way overdue...

 

[mall3013]

Huge win for us. My guess is Emery will play game IMO. This may be 2010 all over again riding 2 goalies?

 

[lasgop8]

Yesssss HUGE WIN after being down 2-0 early. Emery woke up our team defense woke up and our offense and forechecking woke up. I credit Voracek for all of this. When the Rags scored their second goal the camera panned to our bench and Voracek was telling everyone too calm down and then went out there and scored. We need to win again with the same style of play.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Lasgop, the announcers during the break mentioned that the Flyers need to just chill and unleash what they do best. Perhaps Voracek got everyone on the same page because the results were obvious and we snapped a 10-game losing streak in MSG against the rags with that embarrassing ice.

Emery confirmed to start again tomorrow. Heeter backing up.
