also not a surprise this russian rookie backup is stopping virtually everything, intentional or lucky. the rangers get one clean good look and score. lather. rinse. repeat.

We keep shooting low I don't get it he seems good side to side we need to elevate it's wide open

I’m here now

not liking the vibe for this game at all. Keep this up and I smell a loss. Zero desperation.

Couturier definitely exceeded expectations. Not surprised by Voracek. Point wise Gostisbehere is not a surprise. I'm pleased he has progressed in other areas of his game this season. Patrick and Konecny are doing well. A lot of the growth of the young players can be attributed to Hakstol's ability to guide and develop young players. He has done an outstanding job with that.

wtf was a) that turnover b) that gudas defense and c) that goaltending

So bad

I'm feeling more confident in the Sixers than I am Flyers

I must be watching a different game..
The Flyers controlled a lot of that first.

Think we'll have a Wayne Simmonds sighting tonight?

They played a good period, but need to bury some of those chances.

Yeah, the Rangers are a mess in their own zone. Goaltending is the only thing bailing them out right now.

They did but if you don’t convert could be the lucky goal that defeats them.

Thought they played really well, except the 2 on 1 and that non save by Lyon

I wasn't a Hinkie disciple but I understood his reasoning.

But seriously, I at least know what I'm getting out of the Sixers on a nightly basis. Flyers I just close my eyes and hope for the best. At least for this month.

Absolutely but hey, the negativity has to flow.

Hakstol scratched Hagg! Oh the humanity!

This is basically what they've been to me ever since they lost Pronger. Sigh.

me either. seems like a game they could dominate 40 shots to 25 and lose 3-1.

They're just a well coached team. It's uncommon for a team that young to be that good. Brown has done an amazing job squeezing so much offense out of team without a legit pick and roll PG.

They'll probably struggle in the playoffs and the mutants will complain.

They had a lot of shots but the rangers had far too much zone time. And it's still 1 1. To me this is as close to a must win game as it gets and didn't seem to have urgency to me.

I don't want to throw him under the bus as a player but he isn't playing like a guy I have much interest in re-signing tbh.

They’ll take LeBron to 6 or 7 games

See then it's not just me. I'd like to see them come out in a curb stomp fashion.

Flyers biggest issue that period was puck management. Provorov had a number of turnovers that led to attack time for the Rangers. He needs to clean it up.

I thought they played pretty good as well....bad goal against and missed some golden opportunities, but a good period....can’t have a let down in the second.

the top 2 lines are creating chances. they're going to have to win the game for them..or some offense from the D. that's as good a first period as they've had in a while and yet they're tied.

hopefully they just keep going and win this outright.
