I was going to post something about that sack of poop coming up big when it counts, guess you would have included that post in there as well?

Good game fellas. The Flyers look to have turned it around.

Need to work on the PP though. 1-7 was it?

- ImThatGuy

I don't wanna talk about it....

Honestly, I thought you guys had us. This year we haven't really seen much of the "spur of the moment" goals that come in the midst of momentum being against us. Read gave us 2 tonight and they never looked back

Simmonds didn't score but I thought he had a very strong game.

Luke also turned in another solid effort.

It was a nice win considering they fell behind and took a while to get the equalizer. From the mid point of the 2nd period, this game was dominated by the Flyers

You got that right. Seems to happen a lot with Buffalo. Teams make adjustments after one period, Buffalo cannot readjust and then get outplayed.

Miller really didn't get tested that badly until the first Read goal. He made a lot of stops early where he didn't do much but stand there.

Sorry I started it. I asked where he was tonight and he promptly high stocked someone and put us down 4 min. Then the avalanche began.

although it's just a matter of time before Berube freaks out at the post game presser. You can tell he hates answering the questions.

So it looks like Matt Read is the consensus pick for star of the game!

Can't argue that, thought that entire 3rd line and also Simmonds looked fantastic in the 3rd and once again the Flyers got top notch goaltending

Judging by the fact that Buffalo has been outscored 31-5 in the first period this season, I don't think teams need to make many adjustments. I'm not trying to troll, but from the numbers, the Sabers look like a very bad team this year. Falling behind early only makes this rougher for them.

Keep your chin up though, they have some young talent and more on the way in the next couple drafts. You guys will be built for the long term if you draft well.

Simmonds has really been better after his brutal start. Great to see.

More than anything I have been impressed with that D lately. They are a patch work crew, with very little transtion game but they are getting it done. Grossmann in particular, just so steady there, game after game.

Simmonds & Couturier finished just behind Emery for me.

Does Rinaldo always have that short of a fuse?

Seemed silly/odd to challenge Ott like that.

I can't wait for his next good game. People will be saying "well maybe we shouldn't get rid of him just yet."

No offense/trolling. I know they are bad. All I am looking for this year is that they at least put in an effort.

Rinaldo's been pretty good at controlling himself ... but Ott is a master at irritating the other team. He's just so damn hateable.

Still have yet to watch games live and they just keep winning. Emery and Simmonds fights rang the bell at the bottom?
