I hope we never have to go to a shootout with NJ. Hell, that will probably go 100+ rounds where the fans will have to decide who wins.

Then we'll win!

Thank the (frank) Christ

thank god there's no (frank)ing shootout in the playoffs

I try really hard because I know there are points at stake in the regular season, but even after all this time, I still can't bring myself to give a (frank) about the shootout.

I still think the old rules apply: Dominate at home, get a point on the road, make the playoffs. It still holds true, with as awful as the Flyers have been, they still haven't missed because of it -- though yes, in 2010, they got in because of one
- AllInForFlyers

devils went 0-13 last year, and missed the playoffs by 5 points. it matters. sadly.

I felt the team played a solid overall defensive game tonight. Including Umberger and Lecavalier.

Against this poop team they did. Russians don't forecheck.

I am so sure of it. I've come to accept that they're not getting a 2nd point once it goes to the shootout.

pretty much ever. it's (frank)ing preposterous. and ridiculous.

danny markov would beat you with a beer bottle for that comment

Wow, a goal there would have done wonders for MDZ's confidence.

Love to see him aggressive there. That's his game and what he needs to do more of.

That's gotta be the outlier that proves the rule, though -- we could probably play another 100 seasons and a team not go to that many and not win one, right?

I know a little higher math, but am no expert, but that has to be the outlier

I still find it amazing that they beat Lundqvist. I don't ever recall the Flyers beating a division rival in a shootout except for that one time.

Well it's pre season, but Washington is not a poop team.

To me, that was justice -- that team was far too talented to have ever been in that spot to begin with

They aren't a poop team, but they aren't very good. The game was played at a preseason pace as well.

Flyers played well tonight, but I need to see more before I can say they're a good two-way team.

Primeau will show up at 5am and roof the winner.

AMac loses his man for the game tier and we lose in the shoot out.

We're in mid-season form.

Seriously though, pretty good game despite the above obnoxious observations.

They also scored twice, which almost never happens.

I didn't have work the next day, so I watched every minute of that.

They were down 2-0 before that winner, and that series was over the second he scored it

pretty much ever. it's (frank)ing preposterous. and ridiculous.

I have also accepted the fact that a shoutout equals 1 point.
I can't recall the last time they scored first in a shootout
