Frost the hero and then the goat. Too much bull poop and circling back in their own zone. Take the puck the other way and stop screwing around.

On a serious note, sometimes when a player has as much ability as Frost has it can be a curse, because they don't know when to just make a straight ahead simple play. Too much indecisiveness because of too many possibilities .. that's the curse.

Using a comma before "because" is a curse

Again, an NHL season is 82 games long. Standings are based on points, not point percentage. Going into tonight's game, the Flyers and Caps were tied in points and tied in tie breakers, thus the Caps were listed ahead of the Flyers in the standings because they played 2 less games. My point earlier today was simply that this was a must win game if the Flyers hoped to hang on to 3rd place. But the trolls want to talk about point percentage.

It's not a curse. It's just stupid. It's 3 on 3 OT. Nothing good happens when you purposely keep the puck in your own end and BS around. Trying to be too dam cute. That's what happens. A pass jumps off your stick and it's a turnover and in your net. Game over. The biggest issue tonight was the Flyers had a lousy first two periods and didn't start playing until the 3rd. They got lucky just to get to OT. At 5 on 5, the Flyers got nothing from their best offensive players in Konecny, Frost, Tippett and Farabee.

Eric Lindros Thinks the Flyers Mishandled the Aftermath of the Cutter Gauthier Trade

I would have focused on just saying, ‘We wanted Jamie Drysdale and we had to give up this player,’” … “That’s how I would have dealt with it. I wouldn’t have publicized the situation. I would have just traded the kid.”

“I had a great time in Philly,” said Lindros. “But if he thinks he’s going to have a better time someplace else, then go for it. It’s a player’s right. The better the city and the organization treats a guy, the more it’s going to attract guys. That’s a big part of it.

So, this is a really bad time to go on the annual 10 game losing streak.

The team looked like everyone was in a deep depression...soft on sticks, floppy knuckle pucks, Tippett kept trying to score between the Islanders skate blade. Then they scored to tie it up and they looked like they just won the Olympics Gold...

Clearly something is going through the locker room. Can't wait to see how they look next game after this let down. Possible they play like someone shot their dog before the game.

It's sad that in the face of overwhelming facts, you're still doubling down. Just learn from it and know better next time. Not going to happen though is it. Points percentage is how the league differentiates teams in the standings that are tied in points. It is not fake, it is real. Accepted by everyone in the world but you. You are a flat earther in 2024.

And the Islanders really sat back in the 3rd letting the Flyers get back into it. But yes, overall can't argue anything here. The Flyers picked a really bad time to revert to not playing 60 minutes of hockey. That 2nd period was one of the worst periods of hockey I have seen them play this year.

I’d really be stunned if they get in.
