Thats the key. If we comeback 0-2. Not looking good. We would have serious doubts about winning in NY.

You know, there is never a reason to strike a child.
That being said, this is the playoffs.

Yes on all of these, I would just add:

Dump the puck in McDonagh's corner and hit him every chance you get, time to put that shoulder to the test.
and
Puck Control: don't make high risk passes in the D zone, neutral zone or just inside the Rags blue line. These can be fatal mistakes.

GO FLYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RANGERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly, I don't want to see any of those passes across the entire width of the ice, in the neutral zone that are low percentage. And wind up either being off target, or getting cut, leading to an odd man rush the other way. SHort high prcentage passes with the gap tight, and moving up and down the ice as a 5 man unit. Where even if a turnover is made, there will be supoort and coverage. That's how the Flyers have to play.

I could handle the Flyers looking for the stretch pass early.

I didn't say run and gun it Lavy style, but just design 2 or 3 stretches in the first 7 minutes or so. If it doesn't work, make sure it misses so it gets tipped in deep and go forecheck.

Getting the Rangers to open up the neutral zone by respecting the stretch even A LITTLE BIT so the Flyers can get up the ice with speed would be clutch

8:15 usually during the week, sometimes later on weekends with the hopes she'll sleep in.

I don't mind the stretch pass when its available. It's the no look cross ice pass just inside the opposing blue line that drives me nuts!
