PK struggle

OMG!@%% BLURGHQHAH aa..he pulled the goalie down 2 goals with 3 mins left..

It was the right choice. If he pulled the goalie at 2 minutes, the Blues just would have scored then.
- PhillySportsGuy



Wasn't looking good but I would have waited just a bit. I don't think we had a shot at tying it really. The blues looked like they'd lock it down.

Yeah. Just a weird call. Wait til 2 mins then play the top line for the entire time.
- Hextall271


So does Hak throw names into a hat and make decisions based on what he blindly pulls out?

Couturier, Cousins, Weise, non factor as a line. In fact we all knew Weise and Coots were bad skaters prior to the game.

Pulling the goalie with three minutes left as if our season was ending.

Schultz dressing over Manning.

I personally don't think he's that great.

If you're down 2 goals, it makes very little sense to pull the goalie at all if you're going to wait until the 2 minute mark.

No worries man. Frustrating loss. Another possibility could be that we're not quite as good as we thought for the 10 gamer and that St. Louis is a good team.

I don't like how bad we are defensively but provy made the team this year and after like 20 games he's our top d man. That tells you what kind of work I. Progress we are.

When was he pulled? Wasn't it at 330 ish mark? That's quite early. Maybe he liked the match up or something. But get possession at say 215 and he's out.

No idea about Shultz. Couter gets a pass for a few games. Don't like not having raffl on the top line.

10 game win streak aside I think we all know the Flyers aren't a terribly deep team. I think Hakstol has done a good job. that doesnt mean I agree with all of his decisions. I don't like scratching Manning for Schultz.

That's a weird one. The ten game streak really shouldn't fool us into thinking we're a contender. I think this is a playoff team and boys there are some good prospects coming soon. Wow. What I really don't like is how bad we are defensively as a team. Normally hard work can make a team better than we have been.

Didnt expect anything from Coots.
Cant figure out why Schultz dressed over Manning.
Have 0 issue with pulling the goalie when down 2 with 3 mins left (LOL my best kept secret)

Im happy with Hak as the coach for this team the way it is developing. He did a good job getting them into the playoffs last season and right now, with some injuries, they are in the hunt.

Coming into the season I felt as tho they were a playoff team.....a 7 or 8 seed. this is a team with holes. that isn't a surprise.

I'm looking forward to the continuation of the rebuild of the defense. Really hoping Morin makes the team next year then hopefully one or two of Sanheim, Myers and Hagg at some point soon after. Hopefully Lindblom is ready next year.

I personally felt as tho the Blues knocked the Flyers around a lot tonight. they pressured the Flyers who in turn turned the puck over a lot. The Flyers allowed the Blue to attack the Flyers zone with speed and they just time and time again backed in. just an all around terrible game. Hopefully they come out with a much better effort against the Sharks

I still think they are a 7 8 seed. I think they can push a team first round. This Myers kid has come out of nowhere to be a great steel and may be the best other than Provy. I think we need to see where we are with the d in a couple years and may need to flip for a forward. We have some good parts but need 1 or 2 more legit forwards. Need more size and skill.

It's a bigger club and a hitch coached team who are hard on the puck and hard to play against. They did get manhandled.

I would be greatly disappointed if they don't make the playoffs.

Agree about the need for size and skill. Size WITH skill. Still want to see the bottom 6 upgraded. I like Lyubimov. I'm good with Cousins and Leier altho both are small. Hexy still has a lot of work to do but I still am very enthusiastic with the direction of the team.

For those who mistakenly blame mase for all our problems ..not you. Haha. I can't believe the goalie prospects we now have. Holy crap. Sandstrom. Hart stollie Lyon Crazy. The d has been discussed. We have some work to do at forward but we're gonna have fun in like 2 years here

He's very good. Read helps keep things stable in the bottom 6 too.

The 4th line needs to go back to playing 4th line minutes and MacDonald needs to go back to being benched or playing 3rd pair minutes.

- PhillySportsGuy


Spot on on all things said. Hopefully Read returns soon. But back to Raffl, I had to try to explain to a coworker last week why Raffl is a valuable player after he said his least favorite flyer is him. Long story short, it was a frustrating conversation and he just continued to look at me like I had 6 heads as I stated why I like him on our team and even on a line with Jake and G.
