Let's go Fly-ers!! Need a way better effort today. Hopefully modifications on the PP will at least allow us to hold it in their zone for a while and change momentum.

New thread, new day, no arguing among Flyer fans ! LET'S GO FLYERS

Lets win some faceoffs on the PP and get it going with a couple goals today.

Hi, welcome to Hockeybuzz.

The series is coming down to effort. The Flyers need to match Montreal intensity.

That’s part of the issue. Is really like to see them pop more than 2 goals and help the kid out.

Does anyone have a rough idea of how many afternoon games there were during our "hot streak" of this year before stoppage? It seems we always struggle in afternoon games.

Guys need to drink some Red Bull before the game.

Farabee or JVR....I think I'd rather see the kid out there today.

Is it me or does it seem that 90% of the time the guy getting tossed from a FO is our guy?

I could be wrong but I think JVR did enough to stay in lineup.

Yes, 3 goals in 3 games and we are up in the series. Enough of just getting by. its time for the top two centres to get their lines going. Hayes and Couturier just have not played well in this series.

I don't know, but I also hate these afternoon games.

I guess it could be them struggling with getting up to speed, but they need to improve.

I feel like since the guys aren't going home that its probably a little different. But point taken.

I don't know but it sure seems like they can't just drop the puck as the linesman are always barking at the players.

Yeah. LOT of pre-drop nattering. Wonder what that's about.

I actually thought it was the opposite but haven't been tracking it.

It's about what it's always about. Attempting to get a fair drop of the puck. Players trying to gain an advantage.

There is potential of putting these guys away as soon as tomorrow night. Of course, never look ahead of today’s game but I’d like to see Montreal go home as soon as possible.

I actually think JvR has been fine with what he’s had to work with. What’s Claude Giroux’s excuse?

Me too, but that's not going to happen until we step it up. I am really hoping our top guys show up finally today. It's been 6 games.

Well if our top guns don’t show up, there is always blaming JvR and his whopping 11 minutes a game.

For sure. We're winning so fans tend to nit pick. I want this team to take a deep run, and for that to happen, Coots, G jake TK Haze all need to step up and we need to get the PP going. Remember in 2010, I expected the PP to score every time out. Briere could not be contained. Get the zone, get the puck to the net, goals goals goals.

All credit to Montreal too. They are playing an excellent two way game.

Thanks Bill! Let’s Go Flyers!
