Bill Meltzer: Wrapup: Flyers Fortunate for One Point in 4-3 OT LOSS
- bmeltzer

This was the first game that they really got outplayed. Managed to steal a point, but disappointing game.

Hopefully Bellemare isn't out too long, looked pretty bad.

Can't get outworked at home by a lesser team. That's disappointing.

They just didn't do enough to win. Glad they got a point out of it, though -- would have been a tough start to to the week to get nothing

So looking like Vinny will touch the ice against the Devils? There's no need to rush Couts

In an interview today, Coots seemed to suggest he thought he could go Thursday. They honestly need him in all 3 zones if he is healthy

No need, there's a bartender in the Shelley suite

I didn't realize how fragile this team was until Bellemare went down. They started off flat but when Bellemare got hurt, what a slow painful death the rest of the game was.

As long as it's not during game time, he can touch the ice anytime he wants

When will Schultz and Streit consciously uncouple?

It would sure be nice to see 93 and 28 hit the score sheet a little more. Also giving up that many shots game in and game out is not a good sign.

someone please kill the snake that bit Jake

soon!

I had a feeling about this one. If they don't bring the effort the whole game then they are among the lesser teams.

Mason was leaky, but still good enough to get us a point.

Working on it. But it's a really big snake....

thank god luke schenn was in the lineup.

so i watched innings 11-14 of game 1. jfc, is baseball boring.

I turned it on in the 12th. That was intense and nerve racking, especially as an anti-Mets fan. The hell were you watching?!

I actually like baseball so my opinion is probably invalid.

We did the same here. I don't remember the last time I watched that much baseball. It sucks. I'd rather be the guy in that sports book we had as kids who had the lacrosse stick hitting him directly in the neck

Of course the Flyers choose the (frank)ing Sabres at home as the first team this year to easily outplay them... Flyers hockey at it's best.

The first goal allowed by Mase was bad and his rebound control in the first was spotty as is has been for him this entire year. It was good to see though that he cleaned that up for the rest of the game.

Really they should be extremely happy to even get a point because they were outplayed badly. But you look back at it and how in the hell does Laughton not bury that chance in OT? and of course 30 seconds later they give up a breakaway to lose it sigh. Hopefully they give a better effort against the debbies next game.

True what you say but there is ONE big difference in 2015
Even after a bad game they got away with a point
Twice done the equalizer in 3rd period
Last year that would have lost the game as simple as that

Not really. They were down 4-0 5 minutes in. Toss that entire game out, there's nothing to be taken from it

out played by a lesser team (although i think the sabers future is bright) and a back up goalie to boot....lack of effort and stretches of real bad play....and to top it off i had to listen to sabers announcers wow Rick Jenneret is horrible
