Garbage defensive effort by the Flyers today - that is not the way you play Hockey - absolutely terrible - they better be 100% better tomorrow night against a Rangers team that is hot right now - time for the Flyers to get their heads out of their ass quickly
Yes. Our defense was bad, but so was theirs. Our offense was top notch and theirs was timely. The difference in this game was unfortunately the fact that Lindback (along with his goal posts) was able to save the day on numerous high quality scoring chances while Mason let one by him each and every time he was truly tested, plus a bad one or two. So, I completely agree.
I came away from this game feeling like we should've absolutely throttled them. Probably something like 8-3. It's not just the 38 to 25 shot edge that factors into this either. The scoring chance advantage had to be heavily in our favor and like no other game I've seen to date. We hit 3-4 posts, had a lengthy 5 on 3 and also won the special teams battle altogether. We probably deserved a couple more goals in each period, especially the first. Tampa were lucky to get out of that game intact.
