wow, some real nice chances...

Indeed. They should win a game they're supposed to, work on straightening things out, then take it into the next week of games.

You could hear him not call?


It's Briere. No one wants him on the ice in their own zone.

Somewhere there's a breakdown. If the players didn't realize, somebody on the staff should have

fair point. still should be noticed though, imo
- FlyerMike18


No doubt...coaches are the 2nd line of defense.

About how long were we playing short-handed?

That's just unacceptable. This team cant even make line changes without having issues.

Still not sure why he went to the bench with the puck in his own zone.

Could've been Briere but we can't know for sure. Pinning it on him without all the evidence is scapegoating.

I'm blaming Briere b/c why do you go to the bench in the first place? The team didn't even have control of the puck. Just don't get it. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked.

The bench door is right inside the line, it's not all that uncommon to get a quick change, but you've got to be sure somebody is picking you up.

There's almost no doubt the next line knew they were up and Briere's replacement should have been ready, imo.

He can't come off unless he signals that he's coming off and that he gets some kind of signal in return. That's basic...and again, they have 3 coaches behind that bench, somebody needs to notice

Yupper. At least give him a shot and let him develop. No doubt he's going to lose his fair share, but he could be an elite tender in a few years.
- wolfhounds

I agree, cbus will let him develop for sure. He should be something good for them, ESP since mason is a head case

I understand that but the Flyers didn't have control of the puck. Don't like it at all. I'll move on now.

If he stayed out there, gassed, it's detrimental to the team. Not as much as not having a replacement, though -- as we saw.

i think we can agree that the situation requires a whole lotta stupid in general, from many different flyer parties

Hopefully they can find consistency, id like for them to string multiple games in a row where they play with fire

You can say that. Playing with four guys during a five on five isnt intelligent thats for sure.
