Good first period. Del Zotto looked rusty to start with a bad turnover in the defensive zone but settled in. Read and Umberger are really flying. MacDonald coming up huge on the PK.

Nobody noticed Grossmann had a career season in points last season.

Simmer!

What a zone-entry by Coots

I love it when Couts plays with confidence. A completely different player.

that was an enjoyable experience.

I'm sure some defensemen are coached to do this but when having pressure in the offensive zone, I hate D-pairing line changes.

If he can sustain his confidence, and produce, the Flyers will challenge for the playoffs.

For all the complaining about the anchors, they need Couturier, Read, Simmonds & others to chip in.

unnecessary icing by rinaldo turns into getting pinned, broken stick, and the inevitable penalty. bad icings usually create bad problems.

He's going to break through, for sure

Yeah, we're (frank)ed.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like he'll go on a run and inevitably close the gap on Hartsy. Hartsy's ice time has really taken a nose dive.

Looked dead now he is showing signs of life...he really is a zombie

and certainly nothing hartnell is doing is good enough to compensate for the fact that his deal lasts longer.

Wides hasn't lost his touch.

I've watched a couple Jackets games over the past week. They are a mess, and Hartnell is part of the reason why. He hasn't been scoring or playing well. Umberger had several good shifts in the San Jose and Anaheim games, and he's been involved this afternoon/evening
