MacDonald was dumb enough to try and get fancy behind his own net, but what the (frank) was Matt Read doing? He stood there as Zucker got in front and scored the game winner.

That was atrocious.

Luke Schenn was also there.

Its hard to be angry, when its what you expected

They were a mediocre team at the start of the season, add a couple injuries and they're just bad

In Read's defense, I think everyone every where was shocked.
- SuperSchennBros


Can't be shocked. Have to play defense. The puck went out to the point, Read had all the time in the world to pick up his man, failed to do so and the Flyers lose.

it's no secret on how to beat the Flyers ... just pressure them in their own zone, and they're bound to cough up the puck.

it's been that way for years.

Bad decision, make the safe play. But when a turnover happens, need to have coverage. Wide open player at the net. How many times has that happened?
- MJL

I get that but I think everyone was shocked! MacDonald with under a minute left shouldn't have took it behind his net. His first game back when he was iffy with the puck to begin with, he took things upon himself and (frank)ed up huge!

Stupid way to lose a hockey game. Can't cover a point man, and can't cover a player around the net.

I don't think they were shocked, they just blew the coverage.

At least that dimension is defense. He was fine tonight.

They're going to play better. Lots of hockey left. They have a lineup capable of making the playoffs.

Bottom line, yet again, fundamental breakdowns ruin a good overall effort.

as far as i am concerned the only 2 players that should be untouchable right now of our main roster is Giroux and Jake the rest should be worried and get ready to pack their bags

They were in control of the puck and than in a blink of an eye our advantage was gone because of a brain fart by MacDonald. Believe me, I hear you but MacDonald forced the blunder.

Honestly they played well enough tonight to win more often than not. Especially if it's Mason playing in net. I don't think Emery played poorly tonight but his rebound control was pretty terrible. Him not being able to freeze the puck when he has a chance to was partially the reason for at least 1 goal tonight.
