Team looked very out of synch this first period.

Maybe they thought the game actually starts at 7 and this is just a scrimmage

It's like they forgot how to play.

didn't you hear they haven't had much ice time in last 48 hours? so they need at least a period or two to find their legs.

I think it depends on the player. Semin is someone who has the moves to get around Mez.

Looking at the replay, it looked like Mez dropped a little too far back. He gave Semin too much space. He made it difficult for himself to reach and block the shot.

There might be a reason why that guy is doing TV instead of standing behind a bench... just sayin'

They can't get the puck. Not a fluid game at all. Heaps of broken plays and battles for the puck. Almost no sustained offensive zone pressure.

Flyers cant handle the speed. In particular the D.

Carolina isn't backing off to change as easily and keeping the pressure on the Flyers when they try to move out in transition.

That was a tripping penalty but the team has to start working harder here. 9 shots this far is not acceptable.

Need more Mez-Orr-os
Some major black holes in Couturier, VL and Downie right now.
Simmonds should be double shifted as once again he is putting max effort.

Pretty much an awesome move..

Incoming complaints about L Schenn and how the armchair quarterbacks here would have played the bouncing puck exactly right.
