If Voracek makes the right play it doesn't go in the net
If Mason closes the 5 hole, it doesn't go in the net

Plenty of blame to go around on that one

point blank, oddman, perfect quick shot. sometimes the shooter just beats the goalie.

It's called taking away the pass. Shooter was Mason's.

if he played it correctly the puck wouldn't have gone in the net

I didn't see anything wrong with the way Coburn played it. It looked like Roo could have gotten into the play, and taken the guy without the puck, if he pushed himself a little.

This type of Game has L written all over it. Coming off a nice win, they poop the bed against a bad team with a chance to move into a playoff spot against a backup goalie.

No doubt, Im not really blaming Mase, just trying to point out that:
A. Coburn did nothing wrong
B. There was more than one mistake which led to the goal

#6 Nikitin is a 27 yo UFA defenseman.
Any interest?
He took a bad penalty on Waffl but who doesn't ?

Unless Timonen can be in 2 places at once, I don't know what he could have done any differently

I would only blame Voracek on the play. Passing instead of taking a perfect opportunity to shoot. As Voracek gets back to his position after surprising everyone, couldn't keep the puck in at the blue line. Coburn was placed in that position.

You may be right, I'd need to see the whole play again to be sure.

Flyers still more times than not do NOT make the appropriate adjustments to get pucks through to the net.

I'm starting to think he could get shopped for a Dman sooner than Simmonds. He's got to be driving Berube nuts.

The mason Magic is wearing off and this team is playing like the mediocre team they are, not a good combination.
