There have been over 10,000 NHL games since '07. Tonight at 5v5, FLA had:
- T-2nd most chances ever
- 3rd best chance diff
- 6th best SCF/60

Yep were totally dominated but win

Got to love it when it happens

They did this without Jonathan Marchessault. Really puts it into perspective even more.

Also, I don't trust those stats. I'm going to have to comb over those 10,000+ games myself to determine their veracity.

Start with the Devils-Flames game in 2008. What a doozy.

We won and I'm happy about that, but watching the 4th line play 20 minutes as basically our top line and get throttled destroyed one of my Horcruxes in the process.

I was serious, imagine how bad that line would have done if Provy wasn't a monster tonight in an impossible situation? Next to AMac, one of the worst possession d in recent NHL history, and then put out every time almost with a bunch of mediocre 4th liners against Barkov and Florida's top line. What the what.

Brutal. Looked like a clean hit though. Larsen had his head down and Hall hit him with his shoulder.

Also may not be the best idea to use the 4th line as the checking line against Oilers on Thursday

We have a blueprint...and it involves the ManDog

Somewhere, the entire ownership group of the Florida Panthers is circle jerking it to that tweet

What the what? I'll go with the Flyers won the game. MacDonald has been playing very solidly, which I don't expect you to acknowledge, and Provorov has been great. Have to put things in perspective, the coach doesn't have a lot of options strategy wise, and the Flyers didn't have their legs. It's like finding a 20 dollar bill in a pants pocket you haven't worn in a while. Deposit the two points and move on.
