No professional hockey player positions himself like Schenn did on that play 5 years ago.

Yup. Not one, never ever.

Bahh not a penalty. Players need to protect themselves.
- Pixote Andolini


It's a penalty, there's nothing Schenn can do there to protect himself. But the 5 minute major is a bad call. It's a 2 minute penalty in my opinion.

I would usually agree with that assessment, but schenn didn't turn into that. its also impossible to never face the wall. you can still hit him and ride him there, just not blast him. I think that one's on the hitter, although I don't think it was a major.

Schenn didn't turn his back on the play, his shoulders were perpendicular to the boards.

thought it was a penalty ... but not the worst I've ever seen.

definitely not a 5 minute one, imo.

The refs are just screwing with Roy. It'd be the same if Theo Fleury was behind the bench.

(frank) I hate referees that think they have a right to affect a game for personal reasons.

Gotta bury one on this major. Have to.

Mason coming up huge. He's lookin real sharp.

After a slow start, they came around and started to get good chances. I'd like to see them cycle more. Need to tighten it up in the Dzone though.

The first 7 minutes of this period are huge. After they don't score on this pp they absolutely CANNOT let the Avs sustain pressure on them.

seems like the flyers are playing with fire, letting the avs get great shots from the slot over and over

mase is putting out the fires but for how long?

need a better forecheck and better puck support. esp on the PP they need to quickly outnumber the avs on any pucks along the wall

I know Couturier is a core forward on this team but at this point theres no reason for him being on the 2nd PP point. That should be Gus's spot now.

Yeah I take it back. After watching it again it's definitely a penalty but not a major. Flyers dodged a hollow point bullet for not getting a reaction penalty - the Avs feed pissed about Simmonds shot in the scrum afterwards.

The Avs are really running around in the Flyers zone. Getting to loose pucks, the Flyers seem content to let them run around we'll see what happends

Flyers need to pick it up. Hopefully the PP is a spring board.

Yeah it's a little crazy in their own end a bit. I'm not comfortable with some of the chances and offensive zone possession the Avs had in period 1.

Agreed, don't get it. Guess they just wanna instill some offensive confidence in him?

I would have kept Streit on the top PP.
