Outshot the Hawks 14-7, had 2 powerplays including a brief 5-on-3 and are only tied.

Very happy with the response of the team after a horrible start. Emery is still gonna have to keep it together..

Yeah. Even though Couts is a great defender, the line of Sharp-Toews-Hossa looks real good tonight (as they usually do). Emery is in the game now. Clean slate.

The line of Couts-G-Read plays well together. I know Berube likes putting them together for late period defensive zone face-offs.

Id like to see him shoot more. He has a great shot. Just get it on net. Raanta doesn't look especially sharp.
- PhillySportsGuy

If they can just avoid the turnovers, and as someone else put it play to their strength (strong simple forecheck), they have a solid chance.

Both goalies are looking shaky. Hawks look to be getting a little frustrated, would love to see Rinaldo/Downie cause some havoc.

First 3 minutes the Flyers didn't touch the puck. And the second goal was one Emery should stop.

Flyers are capable of beating any team in this league when they play a complete team game. I wish all the non-believers who post nothing but negativity on here will just go cheer for a different team!

Nope. Assuming you mean Teuvo Teravainen?

yes

Didn't look like the Hawks are head and shoulders above the Flyers for the majority of that period. I give the Flyers the edge for that period.

Was waiting for you to quote that. Its a long game, and for the opening there, the Hawks were head and shoulders above.

No need to get your panties in a bunch, I'll let you know when I start burning a Flyer sweater.

they are. they still look slow and scary in their own end against a team with the skill chicago has. amazing how many times they just can't find the handle on the puck and get it out. i really hope they improve in this area tonight or it's going to cost them.

Yeah they need to move the puck quickly with crisp, smart passes and not just blindly try to clear itup tthe boards when they get pressured.

Two posts hit as well.. we should have the lead by all rights.

CBJ losing 2-0 to Carolina.

They weren't head and shoulders above. A poor decision by Brayden Schenn on a drop pass, in which he then compounded by staring at the puck in the defensive end, and not picking up Shaw. And a goal that should've been a routine save. Flyers carried the play for the majority of the period. Scored 2 goals and hit two posts. Flyers were the better team that period. Now they have to back it up.

Giroux should now be tied for 3 overall in scoring..
one point ahead of Okposo.
Seguin has scored a goal for Dallas.

The pace G has been on since the bad start is ridiculous.

They're going to lose. CHI scored the first goal. You guys heard JJ. I guess nobody told Hartnell. Somebody text him.

Allergic to any sort of criticism. Not playing tonight with my favourite internet stalker, but thanks.

He is something special isn't he?

- Cable2k

the slightest hesitation or missed pass/chip out very quickly turns into a scramble with a threat of a goal every time. they have to eliminate this.

Just got home, missed the 1st. Recap?

I hate Kane and am glad he is not a flyer

(I'd take Toews though, or Sharp back)

Hartnell down! He probably just fell in the locker room. He's such a moron. He'll take a bunch of useless minors. Trading him is addition by subtraction. He's brain dead.

Horrible start, fantastic finish

poop for the opening few minutes. Tried playing too fancy, and not getting puck deep. Hawks dominated, and Flyers had trouble moving the puck. Emery let in a weak one on the 2nd.

The other 15 minutes, they dominated. Goalies look shaky.

Succinct and to the point, thanks!
