Ornery Couts tonight

Something woke them up...
- landros 2

yeah - the 10 minute mark

Im not sure why the (frank) Berube doesn't say something publically about this. You know many other coaches in the league would.

Its 3 games now. Dumbass coach.

So they sucked for the most part and are only down 1, while taking it to the Rangers at the end of the period.

It's alright
- eayost

i don't know what the heck got them going, but they need to keep doing that.

the first 18 minutes were just about as awful hockey as they've played in the series.

When did Jake become a poop starter?

Dorsett with a shot to the head of Streit.... Nothing.

Almost amazing isn't it? If they could get that momentum earlier in a period we could score a bunch of goals.

I don't get how they start so badly...

It would explain why they were so good on west coast trips

Think you're on to something here... so moving to the Western Conference would = invincible?

Luke Schenn has been so beatly so far this series
- JAKEw1234

I am sick and tired of how much the Rags are gettin away with.. Slashes cross checks and the like ... after the play.. Pouliot decides he'll crosss check every flyer he sees and the refs do nothing.. It's insane.

This is arguably the worst big game period Kimmo has played as a Flyer.

Check out the minutes played in that 1st. In particular Voracek, Giroux and Hartnell. (frank)ing play them!

lets punch em in the face!

Dorsett with a shot to the head of Streit.... Nothing.
- Flyers1218

Yeah can't give the Flyers a powerplay. You just can't. Coots mugged, no call. Streit run, no call. Hartnell lets up on a hit and bumps a player who makes himself hit the boards and throws his head back to get a call, 2 minutes.

It's typical reffing in a Flyers game.

Dorsett with a shot to the head of Streit.... Nothing.
- Flyers1218

I tell you, if the it looks like a short series the Flyers will absolutely lose it and I am sure one of the band of merry fruits on the rags will have to answer the bell..

Im not sure why the (frank) Berube doesn't say something publically about this. You know many other coaches in the league would.

Its 3 games now. Dumbass coach.
- flyer_nutter

oh the players know

why dont' you say that to berube's face

Schenn is showing some signs but he needs to get his shots on net. That spin shot would have been good if it had not been 7 feet off target.

Not sure why he plays the crap out of that Coots line. They can't score and no one is being shut down. Just open it up and out score them.

I am sick and tired of how much the Rags are gettin away with.. Slashes cross checks and the like ... after the play.. Pouliot decides he'll crosss check every flyer he sees and the refs do nothing.. It's insane.
- Hextall271

been mostly just staying on top of thread instead of posting these past few games but have to chime in on how bad the refs have been.

unreal really. you know if the flyers were doing half of this the arm would go up. the 2 crosschecks after the rags penalty? coots being hauled down? but they will call hartnell for holding up and phantom stick calls where ranger dives.

(frank)ing line 2 and 3 are getting more minutes than Giroux's line?

Really?

Check out the times. Out-(frank)ing-coached and its clear as day.

Anyone here aware of the blackout of CNBC for those just over the DE border in MD?

I have NO way to watch this game tonight...I don't get philly channels. I had the problem last time it was on CNBC and they didn't know what to do.. now I'm missing another game.

Anyone know of a solution?

It's been horribly inconsistent throughout the playoffs, East and West. I don't need games to be perfect, I just want consistent. If you're going to call Simmonds for his cross check, then you need to call St Louis for interference on Timonen right before the second Ranger goal.
