Exactly -- you still have to spot him every once in awhile
- AllInForFlyers

Playing Rinaldo in this situation is giving up.

If his other players were doing nothing he probably would because you can't play your black holes 20 mins a period.

I guess that explains why LeCavalier is still playing.

Seriously what is up with these icings? That was really close. Has their been an edict from the league or something?

They won't call hooks or trips.

I wonder if Patrick Roy would be putting in Bordeleau down by 2 with 5 minutes left.

Are his balls on the table?

The first line has really taken off this period and just dominating.

coburn's had a rough day

it's not just a rough day

win draw, shoot, score

edit: way to bear down on that one

They got damn lucky last game. The near empty net goal, the Minny player was mugged and no call. On the tying goal itself, the Avs were offside.

so what do we see in game 6? more of this?

In defense of VL, he does have their only goal.

Giroux , Couturier and Simmonds have come up really small this series.
Much of that is on the Rangers but some is on the player.

hopefully gusty plays

I was just thinking this looks like the devils series in '12.
And the bruins series in '11.
And the Pens in '09
And the sabres in '06
And the senators in '02.
And the SAbres in '98
And the red wings in '97.

Forgive me, but how could it possibly look the same? There were seven different head coaches, at least four different roster versions?

LOL the Flyers are STILL playing tentatively and staying back. Not going ham on the forecheck (which is what they need to do IMO).

That was it right there. Akeson needs to bury that.

akeson wide.

Flailing?

Probably.

akeson has open net to shoot at. waits till CSP is in position, then shoots it high and wide

here comes the en goal to make it even worse.

Art Ross missed

Simmonds really has disappointed. Teams leading goal scorer and hasn't done poop.... Especially on the PP

5 games and I can count the number of goals the forwards have scored on one hand. Lunquist hasn't even stolen a game. Just a pathetic display by the forward ranks.

akeson waited too long to shoot that.

positives from this series
akeson
negatives pretty much everything else

Yay
