Lol

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.

With the Flyers current defensive zone scheme, the forwards have to drop down low. The players that are further from the net, are the least dangerous. Cover down low around the net, and the slot. Easy to recover to the points and get in line with the shot and block it.

Bill pops in... you in the press box sir?

I don't care. Kudos to Laviolette for the change. Flyers have switched their forecheck, kept the 3rd man high. Kept the defenseman back. And they are in the game, and playing with the Devils. The Flyers aren't generating a ton of scoring chances, but they aren't giving up a lot either. Stay patient and wait for an opportunity.

The key will be staying smart and disciplined in the third. That's where they got burnt by the Rangers. But tonight the effects of Homer's Teddy Roosevelt impression are very evident.

Nope... in Texas with the wife and baby. I'll be back in Philly (for remainder of season) in two weeks.

Yep, don't lose patience. Keep playing the same way.

BS call on Rinaldo by the way. He was far enough away from the boards, turned his back. And the impact into the boards wasn't nearly hard enough to warrant a boarding call. Good hit.

Need a lot of that do you Tangent? Nice of you to share your supply.

Have to keep some on hand for company. Hard as it may be to imagine, I've been told I can rub people the wrong way.

Don't know it took me over a week to think up Homer taking over on the interim but that's what I'd do if Lavi is let go.

you guys knew that OEL wasn't getting traded
he makes Yandle trade bait
if you have an OEL you lock him up
- Marc D

Or else the Coyotes can simply stay content to keep two All-Star caliber defensemen without trading Yandle.

Oh, that was my fault, alright.

I figure, like Lou in Newark when he's done it, it'd help him better gauge who's invested in being a Flyer and who's due to be traded/let go.

Enjoy the third!
