well considering the guy on the penalty shot has around 2 goals over the last couple years, are you really surprised? On the other play hopefully Vinnie is on the bench saying "when the pass isnt there take the shot kid"

i'm not surprised at all. the move/attempt wasn't bad. he just lost the handle.

and yeah. shoot the puck. even if not to score, for a rebound.

Well he messed his hand up pretty good about 5-7 weeks ago. Tore a couple ligaments, needed surgery, missed camp.

Still warmin up, hopefully. He actually looks really good tonight.

I'd hate to see him become another Cheechoo.
I do like the way he plays and hope he makes team Canada with Stamkos.

Yotes have been terrible in their own zone... If the Flyers keep the pressure on down low they should get their chances.

that all started when voracek want sure who to stay with on the back check and peeled off the pick carrier when he could have broken up the play. stayed in their zone whole time after that

It really all started with the Rinaldo turnover.

Not really a terrible hit. I've seen that not called a penalty before. Attention refs: Rinaldo isn't a dirty player.

At this time, the author of this post would a) like to display his loathing towards this (frank)ing DQ commercial about the "fahhv bug luhch" and b) is proud to say that Rinaldo is a very clean hitter

Don't know if you're watching the game, but he was just knocked down in the neutral zone and fished the puck out (while on the ice) out of 2 Yotes' skates while killing a penalty and drew a penalty in the process.

Like I said. He's looked great tonight

By no means do I think that will happen. Sorry, poor comparison.

Well with this new system, there should never be any excuses for fatigue.

He does look good and you can't always judge a player by his stat sheet. Malone isn't always on the score sheet, but he makes an impact.

I think they have played really well so far except for the fact they cant complete and pas to save their lives and try that last fancy pass instead of put it on net and crash it

I disagree.

What do you want? More offense? Shove offense down the throats of the opponents? We cry for a system change toward more organization, discipline, and defense, with less reckless abandon offense. We fire the coach because of this.

We finally get a more suitable system of which is organized and disciplined, and you say that it's boring to watch.

16 shots. 0 goals.

all from the outside with no traffic in front. when they get a good chance they pass it and then get no shot. frustrating to watch. you would think if you are having trouble scoring you go back to crashing the net and throwing EVERYTHING at it
