A general manager has nothing to do with the failure, limitations or success of his team on the ice.

Gotcha.

A GM has nothing to do with simple passes being flubbed, and plays not being executed. If it's the GM's fault, how can it be explained how much better the Flyers passed and managed the puck in the 2nd period, versus the first period? Did the GM assemble a different team in between the first and second period?

I honestly don't understand how this NBC team is even allowed on the air.

Really is a complete lack of respect for the Flyers. They FIGHT tooth and nail to explain why EVERY SINGLE F"ING call against us is the right call. Meanwhile, every call on the Rangers is a bad call.

I don't know how or why you guys watch the NBC broadcasts.
Even the worst color analyst Ray Ferraro is better than the guys NBC has. And there's no anti Flyers bias. (Because they're not playing a Canadian team).

Simmonds threw a punch.

After getting hit into the boards after the whistle.

Nah Simmer definitely got a left jab in on Mikdunnuh's chin

I've seen it let go before but it's whatever. I'm sure everyone's been warned at this point.
- Giroux_Is_God

The right call.

and that guy will be wearing an orange jersey

So be it.

The Simmonds penalty is one you take all day long.

Push them back, and don't fear the refs. If they want them to play robotic then it favours the Rangers. Don't fall for that.

Simmonds deserved the penalty for receiving.. should have been 5..for skating fast and scoring too many goals...

Seriously, I`d like to see what the PP count in the series is now.
- Hextall271

Should be happy. Ranger power plays have gone on to help the flyers more than the rangers. Our PP sucks. Be happy simmonds has a chance to sneak outta the box to pot another

I hope you guys don't have Eddie Olcyk
His bias is leaking out all over the place

Ray Ferraro is also leaking his disappointment in the Rangers play too.

You waited until you could post something to save your ass with that one hey.

To be honest I didn't see what happened just both players going after each other. Shoulda been no call on either guy. It's hockey. Did Simmonds get a stick up?
- mrhattrick27

Not that I saw.. they`ve been letting that go all series.. now they call it.. I wonder if it`s because of the score

that's every game on NBC.. my fav is the "veteran move" line when they show an obvious non-call on other team

I saw shove by Micdunnuh right after Simmonds tried kinda shooting. It was nothing serious, but Simmonds decided to respond with a push, which he should and from there everything happened. But yeah no call. At most offsetting roughing penalties

Sounds good now, but when game 7 starts and you guys get a 2 to 1 advantage on the PP with the dirty ass way you play, it'll just add to the joke.

And Coatsey really belongs doing play by play for the WWE.

I think hockey broadcasting would be all the better for it, if there were a steel cage death match between Coatesy and Pierre Mcguire.

Your just a Philly Jerkofffffff!!!!!!

And you're just a douche period. Be better than that.

The officiating has been pretty brutal in all but a couple of the 1st round games that I've seen.

It would be better if they had to do color on their own fight.

we get it. frog protection.

And you're just a douche period. Be better than that.

He's ok man. All grown men here. I can take it. My wife says worse things to me when I wake up in the morning.

"OH GREAT YOU WOKE UP AGAIN!"

The right call.
- 77rams

Never said it wasn't.

I will only say this about the officiating, its been BS all series long.

Watching Shakrs/Kings and St. Louis/Chicago those teams were able to beat each other to a pulp.

They are calling this one so tight, and stopping the scrums immediately, or calling the smallest borderline things helps the Rangers game more than the Flyers.

Rangers prefer the robotic machine, Flyers are better with the emotion.

And you're just a douche period. Be better than that.
