The excuses are poor so stop using them. When you post how I need to do something thus insinuating your to not be questioned I’m going to respond in kind.
First of all shot attempts are a poop stat unless the proper context is applied.
If the scoring chance stat is valid the third period was absolutely in the rangers favor as I already stated.
I do t care if the rangers had a two on two rush and the puck carrier was forced to the outside and he passes a unplayable puck to a semi open teammate. That wasn’t really a scoring chance.
Could the guy have had a prime scoring chance if he could actually handle the pass? Sure but they didn’t so no harm no foul.
Your throwing stats out to support your argument for two periods. I watched the game I know what happened.
It wasn’t a perfect game by the flyers but they weren’t outplayed by the rangers in the first two periods.

There is nothing here. The Flyers were outplayed at 5 on 5 for the entire game. Refute it!

Scoring chances by period

1st: 10-5 in favor of Rangers
2nd: 8-4 in favor of Rangers
3rd: 10-5 in favor of Rangers

aw (frank) i mr potato headed this game and thought it was 12 pst

I won’t form an opinion of the whole game since I missed the first half. I wasn’t impressed with the Flyers penalty kill or 5 on 5 in the second half, and boy did they look winded at the end of the 3rd. Some really good play by Hart, and they won so it couldn’t be all bad.

Moving on, I see you Caps! A chance to fight for the top spot.

Bottom line: they won both sets of a home-and-home by winning the special teams battle and then relied on Hart to come up big when needed. There are going to be games over the course of the season where you’ll need to rely on goaltending and special teams to win when ES play isn’t the best. Good character win amongst a season that’s filling up with them. Let’s just be happy they can dominate the scoresheet on the road when 5v5 play isn’t the best! That’s the mark of a good team.
