I can't sleep, I'm blaming my elation that Flyers hockey is on again. These next 2 games should tell us a ton. I'm hoping they do the right thing and try to move 1-2 contracts we'd be better off without going into a decent FA period and forward in general.

 

[Progeriakid]

Bandit what contracts are you referring to???

 

[Cobiemonster]

Braden Holtby is in net for the Caps - looks like it is Steve Mason for the Flyers

Ideally Lecavilier & Streit, I know we just signed them but they don't really fit and it's be nice to unload them now when some teams have needs. Vinny is frustrated and wants to play C I'm hearing so he may waive his NTC to go to a team to play C. Streit doesn't have a NTC and there are teams looking for an offensive defenseman so there's always a chance we can move him. Then at the draft is like to see them pursue more hockey trades to bring in some fresh faces especially on the back end.

Dmitry Orlov scores first - 1-0 Caps - let's get back in the offensive zone boys

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers need to start sustaining offensive zone time now

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers on the power play now - let's get this tied up

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I think Streit has been good this year and with Timonen more than likely retiring next year it may not be bad to keep a vet presence on the back end. Vinny we'll see how he adjusts.....

 

[Cobiemonster]

Wow that is definitely a goal, once play is stopped they'll review that

 

[Cobiemonster]

G's 20th of the season! Tie game!

Swede connection

MoJo puts the Caps back on top - these penalties are killing the Flyers again

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nicklas Grossmann is the worst

 

[Cobiemonster]

Holy shit this Caps forecheck is eating the Flyers alive - they need to get their shit together ASAP

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Need to stay out of the box senseless penalties...

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers get outshot 17-6 in the first period and trail 2-1 - they're really lucky it's only a one goal game - the defense has been fucking horrendous - they need to step up and this team needs more offensive zone time - Caps forecheck is dominating them

thank god for Mason.

Holy balls the flyers are lucky to be down 1. Chief needs a strong intermission message to salvage this one. Only a matter of time before it's 9-1 if this level of play continues.
