And we give it back.

That's the second puck to trickle through.

 

[Retroram52]

We were Ofer on the PP and the Ducks spent a significant amount of time in the period short-handed and we are still down by one.

Anybody else notice how terrible the ice must be? Guys sliding all over the place. I thought the Honda center was supposed to have awesome ice?

Tough to be down one. That was a pretty solid period from the flyers. You can see the emphasis they're putting on the physicality these passed two games.

I'd say that was a encouraging overall, but that last one really hurts

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers trail 2-1 after one period - they played really well actually, just need to get out of Mase's way and let him see the puck, couldn't see either one that led to Ducks goals

Mmk maybe not. Looks like It's typically bad.

Come on, Flyers, let's get this game back in our control.

Getzlaf-Downie trade off, I'll take it

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nice job Steve Downie!!! Takes Getzlaf off the ice for five minutes!

[Retroram52]

Simmonds wants a piece of somebody.

 

[Retroram52]

We are doing a much better job of keeping the puck in the Ducks zone this period as well.

 

[Retroram52]

Couts going old school without a helmet. Looks excellent. I think I had a Bobby Clarke flashback there for a minute.

 

[Vadered]

Wow, Anaheim is going balls to the wall gritty. Lotta borderline or callable offenses there.

 

[Vadered]

Granted, then Simmonds responded with a few interesting hockey maneuvers himself.

 

[Retroram52]

We are still the most penalized team in the NHL. Our rep is that we are undisciplined.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Corey Perry makes it 3-1 Ducks

 

[Retroram52]

WTH?? Our defense went to sleep.

 

[flyersfan4706]

And I'm sad again
