I especially like three things about this:
1) PEB failing to knock down the pass
2) PEB succeeding at knocking down his own defender (Provorov?)
3) PEB being out against Tavares at 3-on-3 OT

Seriously though, stopping Tavares on a breakaway twice in a game should elevate you to at least adequate, or AGSM.

I saw AMac skate by after the save, but if it was him, I found the area he excels at: getting back onto his feet quickly after diving. I assumed it was another player since, really, he was up and skating about 1 second after a full-on sell out.

Sorry, should have read as "iSecond."

Did you know that AMac was drafted after the 05/06 season?

If I remember correctly, and I am pretty sure I do, it was PEB and Amac. Because why not have those two out there in a 3v3 situation.

Also, Amac dove to try to poke Tavares in a last ditch effort. Go figure Tavares would get a breakaway in OT with those two on the ice..

Awesome game though. Good to see them win.

It was PEB and AMac. I remember because after the game i said it was terrible coaching. It should have been 76 and 47 not 78 and 47!

i was saying the above i sarcasm.

Rubtsov debut weekend with four points in the Q...

I like it!!

I'm sure someone here will call him an underachiever,
when he is clearly a "little urban achiever"

So i have been tracking on-ice shooting/save percentages a bit...i posted about it on 12/13 and now on 1/23

Only 1 Flyer has experienced an increase in on-ice shooting percentage since 12/13. His name is Nick Schultz. He has played over 1000 career games.

I identified that Raffl was probably the luckiest of all Flyers skaters at that time and since he has experienced some wicked regression.

This answer I am not going to give you...which skater is seeing the worst on-ice save percentage? Hint...it is well below his career average

I was trying to figure out who made the dive/sell out barely get the stick play there. It's actually a good job after giving up the breakaway. I couldn't really see the number but I thought it was him.

Might be because of lazy backchecking?

So I didn't see Saturday's game because I had my own game and never did get a chance to watch it but did I hear correctly that the ref saw the replay on the Gudas penalty and admitted to Simmonds he missed the call but yet STILL gave Simmonds 2 for unsportsmanlike conduct? I mean I understand you can't take a call back after seeing the replay but show some restraint there and allow Simmonds to sound off

I'm just wondering how you can rule a clear recovery but no fumble, then replay the call, and rule that it was a fumble, but not a clear recovery.

Thanks Bill for sharing Lorren's story.... a sad one that it is. Hopefully the visit by Marsh meant a lot to him. RIP fellow Flyers fan.

These next two games really could dictate the future of this team over the course of the rest of the season.

Win them both and you now have a 3 game winning streak with 2 wins over teams in your division.

Cant wait for Wed night.

As soon as he gave the unsportmanlike to Simmer the group with me at Xfinity all gave up on the game. We knew they were going to fold like a house of cheap cards. Simmer has every right to argue the call. I'm just wondering How man F-Bombs he said before that ref slapped him with that call. Post game I know the admission was made I didn't know it was made in game. If so damn that ref has a thin skin.
