MacD is playing well too

Yes he has. Manning has been the worst flyer on the ice.

You might be right. They were playing better at the end of last year but this looks like a completely different team. They are scoring playing a lot better than I expected.

Dear God even Weise is scoring, they're unstoppable!!
- BiggE


Haha. That's what I said. If Weise can score we're going places.

Joking aside, team looks solid. Really like neuvy s game tonight some big saves but also good rebound control with the glove. Loving the speed and crisp passing. No reason that if we keep playing like this we can't make the playoffs.

Every time they do seem to struggle, Manning/Gudas are on the ice.

The Flyers defenseman as a whole have struggled with the Panthers forecheck but Manning has especially had a rough night.

I just gotta hope the Flyers are still playing well and the Oilers are still playing like crap when I go to the game on Saturday.

I mean.. I also hope the Flyers smoke Nashville on Thursday... but.. you know.. I'll actually be GOING to the Oilers game.

They simply have added more skill and speed. It also helps that Giroux is a completely different player from last season. Gostisbehere also. Both players last season struggled for large parts of the year especially early. Their fast starts is a big part of it.

If the guy who is struggling the most is +1 after two periods (yeah.. +/- not the most useful stat), we're having a good night.

The Panthers have dominated the game in every area except where it counts the most.

how many times in the past couple years have we seen the Flyers have the better of play, but every mistake seems to find its way into their net? isnt it nice to be on the other side of that?

I don't think that's the only reason. If you paid attention ghost alluded to it in his interview at the end of the period. They are being trusted to make more plays. They are holding the puck and concentrating on maintaining possession. Yea they are more skilled. But not so much more that it should be this glaring of a difference imo.

As I was watching that period and the Flyers scored that 4th goal, I was thinking "How the hell did this happen?"

I thought the Panthers were actually playing pretty well and one thing led to another and it really got away from them.

This game is probably getting another person addicted to live hockey. The Sailor I handed my seats to is at her first ever game tonight. What a game for your first one.
