Flyers are getting too frigging cute with the passing.

the first 20 minutes were great.

the last 23 minutes resemble the Flyers from earlier this year.

I don't think it's that bad.

But it sure needs to be better

They are starting to resemble the Flyers of old. Making things MORE complicated instead of simplifying things.

Lots of talk about Mez screwing up on that last goal from the announcers but it was Timmonen's man...

I think you gotta give the Ducks some credit -- they're a good team, and they've made some adjustments.

I mean, I certainly want the Flyers to win this game, or get a point, and they can. But the Ducks are good and are going to make us earn it.

Two Hartnell turnovers off bad passes/choices during that sequence.

Voracek needs to be double-shifted ASAP - perhaps given a look with G + VL. He's dominating out there.

so frustrating. Had their feet moving for the first period and a half, good passing, good coverage. Since then being too cute, not moving their feet and sloppy

Need to make it out of here with a point. Flyers need to learn to bleed slower sometimes

Good Lord, Meszaros...that's one of the weakest plays...wow. We're lucky that wasn't in the back of the net.

It seems that the Ducks are double shiftin their top guns. We need to weather the next 5 min imo and then start getting some pressure on them.

Yep, you keep mentioning it.

Few factors, though.

You need a desperate GM, like absolutely desperate. You also need a team that has a good enough shot that a guy would waive a NTC to go to. That probably means that it won;t be a top 20 pick

Poille must have had scarlett fever when he made that trade!

40 minute efforts do not win games against teams like this. need to get back to playing like they did in the first and get back to it quickly.

Ryan Suter was a UFA, Shea Weber was a RFA. He wanted to send a message to them that the Preds were trying to win

Hey how about you guys win some battles in the offensive zone? That would be great.

Ducks are able to get their fourth line on the ice in the third period of a tied game. Just sayin'.

Pretty weak out there. Lots of stick swinging and not much muscle.

Ducks pretty much dominating for the last 15 - 20 minutes.

pretty disappointing considering the solid 1st period for the Flyers.
