Sucks. First unit really deserves a goal tonight. They've been on point.

Gonna be absolutely terrifying when Voracek does start scoring -- potentially league-leading, elite

Dominant 2nd period by the Flyers, especially the Couturier line. Come back out and do the same in the 3rd, and they have a good chance to win the game.

I'm glad to see Flyers fans have their scapegoating in mid season form.

With where the flyers are at id much rather look good losing than look bad winning. So this is a big thumbs up this game

I know AMac is low-hanging fruit, but maybe Mason needs to make a damn save too

He was sitting exactly where he should have been at the end of the period, if you ask me

It's a shame, Mason has been playing well, just didn't look sharp in this game.

Just glad the boys put together this effort while one of their comrades is at home "recovering". Really pulling it together for him

Same with the Couturier line, dominant. Flyers attempted 40 shots in that 2nd period.

What did you think of that play MacDonald made on Taveras late in the 2nd?

You're in a mood tonight

They got the kind of goaltending tonight that is going to ensure that getting a point is hard as hell

He's carrying Schultz like Blaster carrying Master.

AMac hasn't been awful as a whole package, but my god every time he's defending the rush, even with back checkers, all he does is give them controlled entries. Just back skates and back skates. It's just terrible defense. I thought he may have worked on it, but old dog new tricks type deal I guess.

I would assume that AMac didn't bring an overnight bag

He didn't look sharp. Hopefully, there's no carry over from the earlier personal issues

MacDonald has played well. You falsely accused him on the first goal of backing in, when he was faced with a 2 on 1. A defenseman has to have support to step up. Look at the 2nd Neilsen goal, what did Del Zotto do? How about the last final puck possession the Isles had in the late 2nd. All started with Schultz not stepping up and challenging.

That third goal can't go in

It just can't. I understand that it's not that simple sometimes and that Nielsen is a really good player, but that goal can't go

It pisses me off, is all. Everyone knows I like Mason, but FFS

I didn't blame him for the goal. I blamed him for allowing the entry to develop. Other two were equally or more responsible. He put himself in a weak position to defend before there was even a 2 on 1. It wasn't the worst play tbh. More funny than anything given his situation and habits. Now, every other defensive play in the NZ he's (frank)ed up is just bad defense period. Go rewatch the game if you feel like it, I've been keeping tabs on it. His controlled entry allowed rate is terrible. Same old. Whatever. You'll find a way to sugarcoat it.
