No. Score first. Keep the lead. End game.

Tim Panaccio: Does The Past Help Tonight?

Agreed on Simmonds (and about everything else). He's one guy that I really thought could be a tone-setter and give the Rangers fits, but if we have no cycle, no sustained attack and if the puck is rarely kept low in the Rangers D zone, then how much good can he do? He's not Tim Kerr, but his goals come where the Flyers don't seem to want to or aren't able to play.

Sure did - that's exactly the type of game we have Simmonds for. All his goals were scored within 3 feet of Lundqvist but it doesn't do any good if the puck isn't there, too. Yesterday we put it all together and boom - hat trick.
