Rags put on a clinic. Good thing is, they win Game 4 and the series is tied. Anything can happen once the puck drops next game

maybe, maybe not. down 2-1 a lot more can happen than down 3-1 or especially 4-1.....players are subject to the air coming out of the baloon just like fans. poopbag goal goes in and you see/feel the letdown.
- hogweed


Eh... Like i said..Mason stops 2 of those and they still lose 2-1.

Maybe in game 4 the Flyers can shoot the pucks into the Rangers more, they can consistently allow the Rangers to run Giroux and DV2 can shut them down.

Ground Control to Claude Giroux
Ground Control to Claude Giroux
It is playoff time and your team needs you now

Ground Control to Claude Giroux
Your subpar game won't get it done
Take a breather and please get yourself pissed off

This is Ground Control to Claude Giroux
You're a hell of a player
And the papers want to know why you haven't shot

- Giroux_Is_God


I'd like to know why Luke Schenn is out scoring Brayden Schenn. Or why Coots plays more minutes than any other forward.

Berube is coaching like it's the 90s where you use your checking line to shut down the other teams top line. Problem is... we're not shutting anyone down.

good thing they got mason in to give him some work. those shots he faced over 5 min period were doozies, practice def couldn't have don't that to warm him up or determine if he was ready.

all that (frank)ing showed me was he was good enough to start. (frank)ing dumb

So let me get this straight... Mase is good to play in this game but not start?
- Yosimar89


I think Berube played the hot hand.. No issue with it IMO.. Start mase next game... but focus on adjustments that need to be made.. Less pretty passing.. more shots,

Flyers need to adjust. Its home ice, they have the advantage.

Cant do the same poop, and same game plan as they have for all 3 games. They won 2, but even there were dominated for stretches. Not good enough.

That PP is predictable.

It was kind of clever by the Rangers to not test Mason. He will not have any confidence that he is good to go from this outing.

Or maybe they did not bother.

Yep.. that`s a real problem...that and the PP sucks.
- Hextall271


the powerplay is god (frank)ing awful. 28 to 44. lather rinse repeat. nothing happens, lose puck, change. 2nd unit can't even enter the zone.

what happened to plays from behind the net or corner to hartnell for a one timer on the inside edge of the circle?

nobody goes to the net.

they don't work it from the other side of the ice.

Ray played well last game and they wanted to see if he could keep it up.. at least this way Mase saw some game action and won`t come in completely cold..

this team looked like they weren't ready to play from the opening draw. I said it from the start, they looked slow, and with the exception of 3 minutes in the first, they stayed that way.

Now it's time for jack adams to figure out how to use his players in an effective way.
Down 2 goals? lets roll the 4th line out there.
Kimmo looked dead? Keep throwing him out there on the first line.
Mason can play? lets go with razor.

No, but perhaps building a more complete team, and not having the most expensive d-core in the NHL.

That currently, probably no other playoff team would want long term.
