This is all about losing races so far.

The Flyers are getting beat by the trap and cant enter the zone.

Jersey gets the easy turnover and goes to work along the boards.

Outworked.

if they can ever find an answer for this Devils forecheck then they will stand a chance.

they have to decide that they want to find an answer. they're reacting to everything, and reacting poorly. a whole lot of gliding, watching, and lack of compete. every devil is moving all the time and anticipating every play. they're playing great hockey.

one big solid hit on any devil will slow them down. who will step up and be a hero. they're playing like they are ready for the first tee. nail someone into the boards but cleanly please. the way it is progressing now it will not end very pretty.

it's very simple. they're just not moving their feet.

you mean like read backchecking, just about catches the devil, then when gets within 2 ft stops skating and devil almost gets a one time pass

stop the going backwards in D zone, stop wrapping the puck around the boards to no one, and for gods sake win a franking battle along the boards, franking frank

yup, the devils are eating up every lane & their active moving stick checking is giving them fits as well.

It IS disgusting. And add that to about 9 or 10 stupid decisions with the puck already and you have a cocktail for disaster.

Does anyone have a feed? We have a wicked storm front moving through the Midwest and DirectTV tells me they cannot divert it.
