Did you see Giroux on the forecheck for seconds...and seconds...while Hartnell stayed back feet away and there is no 2nd man in on the check?

wassup with this?

Then they get pinned in their own zone forever.

They cannot get the puck.

It's simple if they have the will and the courage to claw, scratch and push through the choking, swarming, smothering Rangers defensive style then they can succeed. Thus far I'm not convinced.

This sitting back BS reminds me of the John Stevens era.

I wish that was true, I just think they just flatout can't match the Rags speed and forecheck.

Or Jake stopped skating and started watching. Too much standing around and waiting for someone else to do it.

They're playing scared a bit. Reactionary.

We get it dude.

Are they really sitting back though? Or are the Rangers getting the better of them?

I think Coburn, Couturier and Akeson have been good

The good thing is that there are multiple players sticking out

Hes on the same line as Couts and Read. He has to.
- PhillySportsGuy


He doesn't have to; he could double-shift a guy and change on the fly if he wanted to

Clearly it's them sitting back and not the fact that the Rangers are asserting themselves.

They should just end the game with how much the Flyers are losing by right now.

Just me, but if that's the Rangers purely asserting themselves, pretty (frank)ing scary.
