For someone who didn't watch...

Thoughts on a) the Flyers' play? Best players? Highlights? and b) The Schenn incident

- Giroux_Is_God


Played solidly. Kept on attacking. Voracek had a great game. Raffl looked good again. Read had a good night...prior to getting boarded, Schenn looked good.

Wilson should get 5-7 games. He took about 4 strides before nailing Schenn head first into the wall.

a) solid overall, some sketchy D play. passion, solid hits and forechecking. best players were Simmonds and Raffle. highlights were some solid passing and plays between Raffle and simmer/G. Scoring twice on a 5 min major.

b) schenn put himself in tough position even after looking up and seeing the hit coming, turned a bit, but would have been a charge either way. Wilson came barreling in. result of the hit was pretty devastating. ugly looking

Thanks bud now I know exactly what happened
- Giroux_Is_God

It;s hard to say who was the best player. Almost everyone played well, so it's hard to pinpoint one guy. I'd have to go with Streit if I have to pick one. His snipe was amazing and he man handled OV on the backcheck. Those were two big highlights, for me.

Good effort tonight ... It's either glass half full or half empty... Time will tell.. A few points out of the playoffs hopefully management doesn't poop the bed

It was blindside, I don't think it was an elbow. He was just going really fast when he hit Schenn, and Schenn went really hard into the boards.

No. Schenn was skating and turned, and Wilson just kept bearing down. He took several strides and clobbered Schenn about two feet off the boards. Schenn did turn a bit, but Wilson definitely took more than the legal two strides.

schenn got cheapshotted by a dirt bag player

Shenn did set himself up a bit by turning away at the last second but Wilson should have laid off the gas given the proximity to the boards. I hope Shenner is OK. Heck I hope he is in the lineup for the home and home vs. Columbus... 'specially since I'll be in C-bus on Saturday. Hate to see guys go down on borderline hits.

i think schenn saw him coming at the last second and turned to try to avoid the hit. it's a natural reaction, rather than just stand there and get hammered.

I'd like to see him get 15. But I'm being realistic. I could see as few as two, TBH.

there's no logic or consistency from the league. i won't be shocked at all if he gets 2-4.

schenn was buzzing before he got killed. i thought for sure he was going to score. and even without the goal i thought streit had a great game. raffl is somehow now the best passer on the team.

if wilson gets less than five i will be ticked off.

I'd be content with 5 games. It was a reckless dangerous play...but as Hammar said, the Shanaban is inconsistent

So for future reference, we have a solid example that Coburn can make a good breakout pass on the first Voracek goal.

He tried to get up and skate of a couple times, and couldn't do it...he was in a bad way.
