These NBC broadcasts really remind me of every sporting event.

Everything is "brought to you by", and showing useless parts of the game just to get an advertisement in.

it's always a gamble, and i don't blame mason for holding tight there. chara had too much time and space, and the 400' long stick he has made all the difference there. only way that wasn't going in is mason had been able to push out and get closer to the shot. he was deep, for good reason, and had little chance on that - went off the post and in. and inch to the right, and it stays out. kimmo gave him too much room.

Ty great explanation

chara is such a (frank)ing baby
every time he gets hit, he has to whip his stick around right after
- Crimsoninja

LEADERSHIP!

no doubt, but how frustrating is it that no matter who is in goal for us they have to let in some franking horsepoop goal?
- hogweed

The third goal -- everybody knows it shouldn't have gone in; Mason, us, everybody

But at the same time, I don't kill goalies when they've played as well as Mason has, as a whole, for as long as he has, because the nature of the beast is that sometimes, you're gonna let in a bad one.

Wish it wasn't today, and no, it can't become a habit...but sometimes, you do give up a bad one.

The Flyers, his teammates...they just need to find one and erase the mistake, and hopefully they will.

I still think they can win this thing. Just won't be easy

While I agree with this, I don't think its just completely due to personality.

Look at how NBC markets the games. They shove "star" players down our throats, and every broadcast we get to hear about Chicago and Pittsburgh.

Its marketing, and I think its pretty obvious they tell him to focus on certain things. NBC has more marketing, and advertising than any NHL broadcast I've seen. Don't really respect a crew like that, its obviously just about $.

Do they though? Because I haven't heard Giroux's name once.

must. get. a. point.

pretty good 1st ... didn't like the 2nd at all.

I feel like we'll see a great effort by the Flyers here in the 3rd, perhaps more like the 1st, but whether that results in anything good only time will tell.

Do I get in trouble if I post a Pierre meme with the F word in it?

Yeah America kinda ruins everything.

his head is too big for his body.

His bodice is way too tight.

ha! i'd add a bit about recchi texting him, that was ridiculous
- -davies-

That part was bad.

I think his problem is he picks certain players each game to gush over. Last week it was McDonagh.

That's a hard crash into the net.

Hartnell's playing a man's game today -- been tough all day

Horrible shot selection by Schenn there. Just awful.

stop hitting rask in the (frank)ing stomach.

Shoot low, fer cryin' out loud!

The first period the Flyers were winning a lot of those battles
2nd period not so much

he needed to get that to his forehand.

- Pixote Andolini

That shot needs to go far side along the ice

Coots line being really weak on the puck this shift

he needed to get that to his forehand.
- hammarby31

That would've been nice, for sure

Doc: "The Merlot line on the ice now"

I knew he was drunk...

This needs to result in a goal.

Paging The Captain.

These PP's are going to get evened out, have to convert.
