Wow are the Rags are just out skating and hitting the Flyers. They really seem to want this more.

Amp up that physicality and push them back.

Giroux has been a clear target all series, Flyers need to go after their best players.

why would they start now?

I'm tired of Vinny and Schenn both. Luke Schenn has more offensive talent this series than Baby Schenn at this point!

Dunno..B. Schenn looked pretty talented setting up the game winner last game.

Text book 1st period for the Rangers.
Flyers PP completely rendered useless.

that was mostly sloppy, nothing going on at either end. certainly not the period i wanted to see from the flyers.

You're pretty annoying. Don't respond to my posts anymore. Don't care for how you troll me.

Not trying to be negative, but did you really think the Flyers looked good in that period? I might be watching a different game if you did.

Its a little disturbing, the Rangers have had this series too easy imo.

Same thing as in game 4. Start engaging them physically, make them retaliate and feel some hurt. That's the key. Don't be robotic and scared of taking a penalty.

Down by 1 which you obviously don't want but they have played better. Gill has looked really solid.

Mason probably would want another chance at that one, but its the result of the Flyers chasing the play, and doing little to try and take the puck or the man. Again, physicality.

What game are you watching? Flyers controlled that period.

Edit: To clarify, it was a garbage period by both teams.

Wait, how was that a troll?
Did B. Schenn make a great pass to setup the game winner last game?

The rangers get so many deflections go right to their guys. Yeah you make your own breaks sometimes but a puck deflecting off two players and going to an open ranger all the time isn't creating your own breaks.

Rangers have a 1-0 lead after one. #Flyers had 8-6 shots edge, and they won 62% of FOs. NY had a 15-6 hits edge.

It doesn't matter how we think they looked.
In the end they are done 1-0 so it was a bad period.

The 5v5 play was promising that period. It was.

They need to come out in the second hard. It's the same refrain every game.

The Flyers have no business being down this game, but they are. Of course a flutter shot beats Mason. When's the last time CSP lets a goal like that through- deflected or not?

I just don't understand why the Flyers aren't finishing checks hard. It's stupid. That play with about 5 minutes left where Read got hit pretty hard just after he got rid of the puck- a Flyer would have peeled off right away. Just hit some damn bodies.

No it's all good.
I'm waiting for him to tell me how I trolled him.
If anything I was trying to tone down my BS of Team Negative. it's as stupid me calling Couturier DV2 until someone pointed it out.

If Mason makes that save, we would feel differently about that period.

I felt like they had the period and ny got a lucky bounce. If someone would just tap a gift into the net at the beginning of the period its a whole different game.

Exactly. I just don't see how a player like G misses that pass from Jake.

So you don't actually know what a troll is then based on that..
Got it.

2/3 of our top line is invisible.....Vorecek is working hard, but the rest of that line just seems out of cink.....I'm not sure if Berube has reasons for not mixing up the lines but unless something gives this flop of the first line is going to sink them.....top pp minutes should be earned...

100% agree.
Your best player needs to bury that.

Do you hold the whole team to that standard? No you don't. These are NHL players. At some point they all will make a good play. B Schenn large
Y has not a factor what so ever in this series. IMO he has put himself up on the trading block come the off season.
He's not the only one playing poorly but the flyers have a glut at center so someone has to go.

You were G after the last game and I was defending him, but that miss what awful. So blast away at G.
