Do the Flyers retain Brayden Schenn this year or no?

Ask the question after the season is over...the answer might be obvious then.

Would be nice if the untradeable DV2 actually does anything in a series.
Giroux is not playing great but he has 2 points and is at least a threat.
DV2 not so much but god forbid anyone mentions trading him.

Its going 7

They'll win game 4, lose 5 and win 6. This team only shows up when they get desperate. Who wins game 7? Beats the frank out of me.

Oh well, I'll be watchin game 7 in Key West so win or lose I'll be trashed!!

Flyers are actually outplaying the Rags.
- PhillySportsGuy



Rangers are keeping everything to perimeter or deep from the points and choosing to counterattack when its available.

I think they need to put Streit instead of Kimmo. Kimmo does not move at all.

Lets get some players who don't need to be down 2-0 in a game to start playing, IMO.

I honk I trade him at this point. It's just not working. He's playing like a third line player.

the teams split 4 regular season games ... and have split the first 2 playoff games. I don't know if I'd say the Flyers "can't solve" the Rangers.

Good you didn't I did and I'm talking about tonight.

I haven't given up on them, and won't. But what we're seeing tonight isn't unexpected, to me.

The Rags are a good team, and they skate well. They have some useful players, good players who fill roles, throughout their lineup. We have some younger players who are still developing in their roles, and it's difficult to maintain consistent offensive flow.

Just let them play through, support them -- this was never going to be easy, and getting where we all want to go is going to take some time and growth, maybe two more players like Laughton and Ghost, if they can help quickly.

It's true man. I've said this before. They don't play their best until they're expected not to. Like when we had that stretch of games where no one expected them to beat the best teams in the league.
- Flyersgod


I think they could go down 3-1 in the series and still win it, but it doesn't make these games any less frustrating. That well will run dry eventually, if not this series.

Couturier?

He shouldn't be playing as much as he is anyway. Its like playing Jordan Staal more than Crosby.

Coots isn't great with that offensive game but has done his part for a really young player.

This period. They didn't in the first.
- feelingkettle


and yet, they got outscored that period. as usual in the 2nd.

gargantuan task of trying to tie this up in the 3rd. the rangers just don't give up goals in this session very often. just north of half a goal per game.

flyers will need a much more desperate effort from everyone.

Not in my opinion. Flyers have had a few quality chances that period, but they cant break down the Rag box. Once they scored that 3rd goal, theyve sat back in a defensive shell.

Not a chance.
- Flyersgod


Id rather get rid of him, maybe package him in a deal for someone. I dont know who but someone that can take some pressure off of G. He may not be a first liner, but my god they really need a goal scorer.

He's been the best player on that line and has been hard on the puck all night.
