wtf why toss simmonds?
- Don'tForgetTocchet

Sending a signal and nipping all hanky panky in the bud.

Just like Bylsma sent a signal to his team with that timeout.

Apparently Grossman is not on the bench. Hope that is b/c the players are playing this now like a pre-season game.

I just wish our 5million dollar goalie played like Lundqvist or Anderson.. Ticks me off that he looked like he never played goalie before.

10 min misconduct for holding the stick

Wow, (frank)ing joke. These Ref's have no (frank)ing clue, bunch of female doges

The Flyers arent losing because of officiating but this is a (frank)ing joke.

They are sending "messages" in game 4? They should have called it a bit tighter from the get go then.

The officating has been inconsistent as (frank). Call nothing and now call everything. Brutal.

I'm glad this ass kicking happened.... Now they have to reset and play defense... When each goalie gives up five goals in a game I think it's more than poopty goaltending more like poopty defense poopty backche kin and poopty goaltending

Hopefully Grossmann oz ok. Apparently hasn't been on the bench most of the 3rd

awesome

He's not a defensive wizard. He's a goal scorer, which he's done in the playoffs, even after you said his career was finished.

Just seems like you fixate on him way too much.

Briere is sexy though, LOL

i knew i was right that Fleury is not letting any more goals after the 3rd

I was just going to point out how he has only played 9 minutes...

Hoping they're resting him with the score what it is but who knows

It seems like you fixate on me fixating on him,. I'm sorry but the guy is open to criticism.

I also said earlier today, he's benefitting greatly from Pittsburgh's lack of defensive awareness in this series. I see him scoring more goals in this series as it progresses but when we go up against the more defensive teams he's going to be more of a liability. I'm not even taking my previous stance that I hope it won't be the case, because what I saw tonight when pittsburgh decided to play some defense, his own defensive flaws were way more prevalent.

Actually in the 3rd they do have a clue. That is exactly what they should be doing with the score the way it is.

The Flyers better learn quickly how to play defense soon, otherwise this is going to turn in to a long series.

I wish our team played more like those teams playing in front of anderson and lundqvist.

awesome

Very odd that these refs, who are calling everything, missed Grossman getting his head pressed between a forearm and the glass when one of them was standing 5 feet away watching it happen.

Thankfully, the Pens seem to be content just to kill the clock or the score could have gotten even worse ...

too late this is going 6 at least.

- JoeRussomanno

yep. and i also wish our goalie played more like anderson or lundqvist

No way Homer comes down and talks to them like that.
- KGBflyers10

Perhaps you missed the part where I said if I was PH. No reason not to 10-3 really! As a GM there is no reason in a calm manner that there are certain expectations and one of them is not to get all cocky and think there is a cruise control mode.

Actually in the 3rd they do have a clue. That is exactly what they should be doing with the score the way it is.

You know what they didn't do it in the games where the pens were headhunting! Its funny how we always seem to get shafted (frank) this. Now Neal is coming back next game wow that was punishment for trying to injure two players. Shanahan is a joke also

lol, that's not exactly why he was tossed. He went after Cooke with a light shot to the head. Cooke went after Simmonds. Both got tossed. Nothing too serious, but with the game out of hand scorewise, the refs did the right thing to make sure it doesn't get out of hand physically too.

nope

Shake it off and be ready to play Friday. Still in a great position.
