where the hell was Timonen on that goal?

preparing his postgame speech about how everyone sucks.

Wow, Bob was beaten so badly by Filpula he wasn't even in the same area code as the shot. Geez...

Bob bit hard on that move. Way too hard.

AAAAAAAAHAHAHA oh man....do I even need to say it??

Where the (frank) is the defense???!

and that's why giving up that late goal was so crucial. instead of a 4-2 lead we're now looking at a 4-3 deficit a minute into the 3rd.

And a whisker away from 5-3

that was NOT Coburn's fault.

do you blame him? the guy has wide open players far side for tap ins game in and game out. he's just trying to keep his head straight.

Plenty of time. Game is far from over.

its like a soccer net behind bob

that was NOT Coburn's fault.

i didn't say it was, but he certainly didn't help matters. he's been on the ice an awful lot lately for goals against.

I feel bad for both goalies right now. The lack of D coverage is beyond embarrassing right now.

This team is getting Coburned when he's out there.

Plenty of time. Game is far from over.

A positive thought? How dare you!

- MrBigglesworth

it certainly is. if the flyers were only allowed 10 or 11 guys on the ice at a time.

he was left alone down low on a 2 on 1. not his blown coverage
- nastyflyergirl

He can't just leave his man in front of the net and go to the puck. If he was worth covering by Coburn the first time around he is still worth covering.

i dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing

that was NOT Coburn's fault.
- nastyflyergirl

The problem on that whole sequence started when nobody helped Timonen along the wall. He was battling with Datsyuk in the corner at the end of the PK. And when we got to full strength, nobody helped him and the Wings outnumbered him and won the puck battle. Once that happened, the Flyers were in scramble mode and never recovered.

that was NOT Coburn's fault.
- nastyflyergirl

How so? Was he not standing next to Franzen just seconds before he scored? He left his man to do someone else's job. That's what too many of them are doing right now.

The Flyers have breakdowns we know this but they are getting chances on offense as well. They need to take advantage, Detroit is giving up plenty of scoring chances for us to tie this game.

i can't remember a time when it's been this bad. 4, 5, 6 goals against every single (frank)ing night.

As opposed to? Patrick Roy would look mediocre behind this D.

- hammarby31

maybe so but he was left alone down low on a 2 on 1 while Timonen was along the boards standing there staring at the point. Just annoys the (frank) out of me that everyone jumps on him when he wasn't the cause

Didn't watch much from 1990 - 1994?

Be cause he was left alone to deal with two players while his defense partner was up along the circle and no other forward dropped down to help out
