Total ES shot attempts this game......9 for the Flyers, 39 for the Capitals.

2 Flyers have CF% at or above 50%. Gagner and Raffl. Sound right...they've looked like they're the only line playing. 11 Flyers have a CF% below 17%. Brayden Schenn and Claude Giroux and VDV have never been on ice for a shot for attempt. G is 0-19. Schultz is 1-14. Ghost/AMac 2-18.

This is maybe the worst possession game I've ever seen from the Flyers. This is just bend over and take it.

PP1 involves three players being 100% dependent on two players(G, Ghost). I'm no math major but it's no wonder why putting pressure all over those two completely destroyed the PP
- hereticpride


The PP formation and strategy is not much different than the Capitals. It's the fact the Flyers players are making worse decisions with the puck. The Flyers keep trying to use Caps as screens when shooting and they can't stop hitting the players. It is the biggest difference.

Holtby has had an easy night....oh wait you constantly blame Mason, so I guess that White goal was 100% stoppable.

Holtby sucks confirmed.

Had he played more game this year, he would have won the hart vezina and we would have won't the presidents trophy.

I really wish mid playoff buyouts were allowed so we could get rid of Mason. That way we would have had stollie and Emery to get us into the playoffs

When I said they would win tonight, I specifically said I didn't know how, because I had a feeling the metrics were gonna be brutal tonight

Didn't think they'd only have eight shots, though. This has definitely been brutal

But they are winning. We just gotta keep hoping for the best

This team is too small. We're getting physically mauled.

Call the Vatican if we hold on to win this one. I believe it may qualify as a miracle

Well, I was gonna say you can't trade chances with them, but you can't do what they were doing, so at least they are trying to create some offense

Yeah. Before anyone say we have no good Corp, depth needs to be added with reagard to size and skill. Size on the wings and d. Not goon squad size, but enough to compete. Anaheim always man handles is because of this.

Effin Simmonds was cheating that last play and was left in no mans land. That poop leads to a goal against.
