Great pressure by the Flyers, but no goals! Its concerning that the Flyers have their full team tonight while the Caps have a skeleton crew but the Flyers are still struggling to score.

Frost centering Farabee and JVR, and I still didn't notice him in that period, not good. I hope he starts picking things up.

You would think with Washington resting most of their regulars, this would be his chance to stand out a bit.

Had a Frost sighting, he made a nice poke on the forecheck which set up JVR for a scoring chance. Good hustle there.

Flyers have had some chances they need to bury. Caps with a tremendous 'road' 1st period tied.

Its not about being down on him, its about coming to a conclusion that he is not ready!

Caps have looked like the better team in the 2nd to me.

Yeah 1st the Flyers dominated. 2nd period the Caps have controlled a lot of the game in a sort of slowed-down NY Islanders kind of way. Closed gaps, neutral zone pretty clogged, etc.

Jones so far having a better night today compared to the Boston game but he still looks off on simple plays (IMO).

Jones has been better with his rebound control this game.

Yes, I just don't see it, I don't see anything special with Frost. No shot, not instincts, no speed, no tenacity in his game. What exactly does this kid do well that makes him a potential top 6 forward? I'm not seeing it this pre-season so far, I didn't see it last season before he got hurt, nor did I see it the year before that.

I love what Brassard did right there, defending Provorov!

Liking Brassard more and more. Great job jumping in for Provy. Though, to be honest, perhaps it may be good for Provy to learn how to step up the aggression.

Hate that little rat Hathaway. Hope Risto finds him in open ice with his head down

Only saw the highlight of the Atkinson goal but that is exactly what he was brought in for, gritty hard nosed go to the net goal.

That's at least the 3rd time tonight I have seen Farabee and JVR rushing the puck and Frost is nowhere to be found! Where the heck is this guy??

It looks weak because he’s beaten 5 hole on a slow shot but that move included a good shot fake and when that happens it can be hard to close th five hole as you stretch to stop the guy from going around you.
