Good time for a tv timeout.

Great first period. If it weren’t for Hart we’d be killing them. Forecheck looks good. Defensemen are being aggressive, I hope we don’t pay for that. Besides scoring the goal, Greene had a standout period. Great block at the end.

as good as hart save on nel gotta keep their big gun out of this or cud be troubel

As cpt. predicted, however, the Flyers have come out strong this period. Isles need to step it up.

We got to match their intensity here. Hopefully after this commercial break...

Seems like the isles go into a lot of second period comas.

We're definitely not playing the puck posession game as well. They need pressure some turnovers more, we only seem to be sending one man in now. Not sure why

The careless passing right now is a killer

Looks like we’re hoping one goal is enough.

They stopped skating. Gotta get out of this period and regroup.

Varlamov is playing great, but we all know we can't expect him to hold up like this for another 25 min

Have to hope they get out of this period unscathed and get their crap together between periods.

Good shift there though but yes I agree

That was a much needed shift there.

Too (frank)ing cute. Play the simple game and get it to the net

Unbelievably sloppy puck management

No way the Isles survive another period like that.

Got beat to every loose puck that period

philly doing great job on barzal. also better along boards than i knew

Yep. Exactly what’s going on. They’re passing is suddenly terrible and they stopped skating on top of it. Lucky they didn’t get called for a couple of hooks and holds in that period. They have to start moving their legs again.

Yeah, these refs seem to be letting them play which is a good thing.

Barzal needs to stop the cut away from the net and shoot

When the Isles are sharp, their outlet decisions/passes are patient and crisp. The Flyers forecheck caused a lot of misfires. They've got to find their composure and be willing to be more methodical in their puck advancement

No way the Isles survive another period like that.

Not likely, no.

But hey, they only have to win a period now.
