Is now a good time to point out that the Rangers have dropped to 1-5?

I get what your saying but a defenceman can't get that far out on that play. The forward wingers have to go to the point, so there was no reason for Macdonald to follow him out....unless the set play involves the centre staying down low?

I disagree. MacDonald can't just let him go. Ovechkin is the most dangerous goal scorer in the league. MacDonald was not at fault. Voracek and to a lesser extent Giroux were.

He disappeared after the first really. I really like him as a player and a dude. Caps lost so much depth this year, I wanted him to win a cup at least once.

No Sanheim or Morin sucks but this has been a pretty fun game. Entertaining.
- flyer_nutter


If Sanheim had played it probably would've been 12-2. Coach is an idiot.

Also.. apparently Kinkaid has found someone other than the Flyers whom he can beat.

We could be 3-1-1 or 4-1.

But this win helps erase the last 3 minutes vs Nashville and 3-2 is not to shabby.

They look so different — I keep watching them and it’s obvious that they could tighten up a little more defensively as they get a little more used to playing with each other
- AllInForFlyers


If they can do that, this team could be better than anticipated.

Six points in five games is not a bad start at all especially considering they did play five tough teams, four on the road.

Flyers dominating the Caps, Eagles owning the NFC East and the Sixers actually have guys who can play basketball.


What the hell is going on around here???

The Good
1st Line: G flying out there, Jake actually making the right decisions tonight.
Weal: He's just incredibly impressive, night in and night out
4th Line: Laughton dude...pooptttt. Different player, confidence is through the roof

The Okay (notables)
AMac: Horrendous coverage on the first goal against. Other than that...meh
Manning: For how much we female dog about him, he was ok. I'll still be salty when he plays in favor of Sanhiem however. Of note, only Flyers dman to have a sub 50% CF
Elliot: He's not impressive. Adequate but I'd like more. That second goal he could have challenged more...should of had. Just kidding, I'm not pinning the goal on him- it was poor d coverage, but I still want him to at least give me a little more and be in a better position to make a save.


I don't really think of any bad or uglies. This was a game where everyone played pretty damn well. Can't female dog too much either way.

What a (frank)ing game.

There’s something about this roster — yeah, there will be lulls, but they look like they should be able to weather down periods quickly

They are so close

Poor coverage by forwards....but McDonald is out to high. Which explains the odd man adv down low. Honestly though, I thought rest of his game was good, how can there be any complaints in an 8-2 route...didn't like the boo's before the game for him or the coach.
