Yeah they can't get the puck at all. Rangers dictating this game right now. Flyers doing a lot of reacting.

Flyers are totally sitting back ... just asking for trouble.

Is this considered domination now?
- Pixote Andolini


Rags are good; there was always gonna be a surge

Just gotta get pucks out when there is no other play and for God's sake, win some defensive zone faceoffs

He looks pretty decent so far. TSN said he's been the Phantoms leading score last 2 seasons?
- rockychocbill


Yeah. Almost a point per game player on a brutally bad offensive team.

He lacks size, speed and isn't the most reliable defensive player. His offensive instincts and hands are definitely NHL level though.

I kind of hope that its the gameplan more than just being outskated in every area of the ice.

That was a terrible play by the forwards. They won the face-off cleanly then all sprinted down ice giving a below average passer (Schenn) no easy place to go with the puck. He ended up turning it over.

way too many turnovers when we have clear possession. not making smart choices with the puck and its turning into turnover and turnover

That's always been my comparison except one's a C and Akeson's a Winger.

That's all bullpoop. Flyers haven't been able to play tight checking teams since the 80s.

When I wondered about what gameplan Berube would have I did not believe it was to attempt to put everyone to sleep.

Kind of but Briere is obviously a much more proven player. He''s like a playoff specialist. The jury is completely out on Akeson.

I'm waiting for the lame penalty on us after some monster penalties being ignored.

Little pushback by the Flyers.

Akeson does not look out of place. Some really nice passes and offensive awareness.

Raffl got the memo and indeed he shot.

I think Coburn, Couturier and Akeson have been good
