Guys are gripping their sticks way too tight. Multiple times yesterday, and a couple times in the first period tonight, Flyers with possession in the centre lane in the offensive zone will wait and try to make the perfect shot. Letting the goalie track and make a routine save. They need to stop over thinking it in those situation and fire away. Don't let the goalie re-position.

I agree, but the lack of high quality chances are a concern. 15 shots but how many of the high quality kind?

I don't know, that is a genuine question.

to be clear everyone, once AMAC made the bad pass.

You know, back in the day, that pass was called a suicide pass, because you put the receiver in a position to get his head knocked off of his body.

I enjoyed him actually cross checking Mason in the head to make him fall and take him out of a play too. That's our #2 d man right there

Flyers outplayed the Isles overall that period, but like it's been happening way to frequently, poor puck management leads to a goal against.
- MJL

Story of their season for the most part. They carry the majority of the play but the chances they do give up are just such good, fat chances. They consistently turn over pucks at bad times and in the worst places.

Add to that a huge lack of momentum changing saves and an inability to handle any adversity.

You better be right Hexy, you better be right.

Mason gave up a goal and 2real is quiet. Someone should call 911

Not too mention they don't have a pure goal scorer who can finish.

They actually did generate a lot of high danger chances that period, though it's easy to forget with one ugly mistake. 7-3 Flyers there. Schenn line had quite a few. So did Couturier line.

While the few opportunities I was speaking of certainly wouldn't change the current team into an offensive dynamo, it is the kind of stuff that could turn them back into a consistent-middling team instead of the shell of a team they are recently.

The current team needs some of the mayhem of random, quick shots in the offensive zone so that guys like Simmer, Schenn, and others can pounce. They won't win with leg speed. They need to use puck speed and the guys that can play inside to get the goals.

I was at my parents house when it happened, my dad would have tossed me in the street and said a car hit me if I tried that.
