All 5 players below the circles when that puck goes back to the point, pathetic!

Flyers leave the opposition D at the point all day with the puck.

havent you noticed they never cover the points? its one of the things they do (or i guess dont do) defensively that pisses me off. the wingers always sag too low, esp since they never get good breakout passes doing it, and never cover points. thats a big reason they get pinned and pucks continue to get thrown at te net in barrages. its esp great when the D reverses the puckup along to the points to no one and goes to their wide open point man.

Would it be asking too much for Briere to score on one of those point blank chances?

it'd be nice.

he is getting closer though, for whatever that's worth.

ugh.

Flyers playing better than they have in weeks ... yet all we have is a tie game to show for it.

They're just not very good.

scary how far they back off ... especially on a PK. It's just asking for a goal.

Of course not, Danny b is paid for his defensive play

start double shifting rinaldo.

seriously, its time to reward players that show the heart and desire. i dont care what your name is, want to see the ice? start playing with some balls

This is how g needs to play all the time

I agree, put him on the top line. Lava needs to show if you play lie you give a rats a$$ you get rewarded

Devils look very calm. They also look like they have an extra skater out there especially concerning back-checking and defensive zone play.

agreed. just don't understand why Lavy hasn't already been doing it.

should have probably happened a month ago.

I still don't like how they're able to shut down Giroux's unit so effectively.

Disciplined adherence to a system that works with even less talented players

actually it is a very good sign that he is getting chances, but I want to see him finish some of them

Holy crap the NJ/MSG feed's trivia - who scored the most SH in a year? Lemieux with 13. Bananas.

Also Devils are totally trapping right now. Not a pure trap circa 1995 but definitely a modified version of it.

Phoenix Coyotes ‏@phoenixcoyotes

Coyotes have signed defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson to a six-year contract.

OEL gets a 6 year deal. If only Homer was the PHX GM he could immediately trade him to Philly.

Welp, no offer sheet or trade for Oliver Ekman-Larsson...just signed a 6 year extension with the Coyotes

SO Leight I'm Laught

LOL last gripe. Chico Resch lol how the F is he still employed? For franks sake.

Nice Kovalchuk dive.

this is why the Flyers have virtually zero shot at the playoffs. Nearly all the games from now on will be these kind of potential OT games. For every team.

3 point games will be a dime a dozen.

Briere looked like he was crying just there.

probably should be.
