Flyers lead 4-1 after two periods - let's finish out this game strong!

 

[Cobiemonster]

OV scores - 4-2 Caps - Flyers have to stay out of the damn box!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Need to start being aggressive again - this is how they got the lead in the first place

 

[Vadered]

Uh, guys.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Dammit let's go Flyers - get your shit together - stop fucking coast and start being aggressive again

 

[Vadered]

Voracek!!!!!!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Shake And Jake again!!! 5-3 Flyers!!!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Shit the Flyers seriously need to stay out of the fucking box - you can't take penalties against teams like this

 

[Vadered]

Jesus, stop letting them back into the game...

 

[Vadered]

Downie with a REALLY good full rink goal.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Empty netter seals the deal for the Flyers - 6-4

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers get the win and that's all that matters but I didn't like the fact they almost completely blew the 4-0 lead - they better start staying out of the box - three of those goals against were on the power play - you can't give teams those opportunities - and you have to stay aggressive even when you get a big lead

Pretty solid - made some nice passes and was calm and cool - he got an assist on Michael Raffl's goal

Good to hear I see the minutes were spread out for everyone including the forwards...I like that as they should be the fresher team game in game out. Makes the difference in a 7 game series....

Yeah especially on defense - I know it would be great to have a big time d-man there but at least with the guys they have their minutes are spread out and they are all fresh late in the game - a few minutes here and there makes a big difference

another big win.. watched most of the first but then had soccer.. don't let letting them back in, but wins are wins, and wins over divisional opponents are huge.

My thought exactly.

I just spoke with a co-worker about this. I think if the D pairs stay the same for the remainder of the season, each pair will hover around 20 mins a game. Come playoff time I have a feeling Kimo/Coburn are going to jump up to 25-26.
