My first team was the Shock. Every time my brother sees an odd-man rush, he says, "Ohh...! Here comes Shock hockey."

I usually played the part of Talbot (UG was often my ride home).

You're a goalie in a beer league. You probably see that four times a period.

on my team, easily.

Seriously, that was unreal.

The Flyers seem to be playing like they don't want to get hurt, they just want to get this game over with and go on a 4 day vacation.

Did Hartnell flip that puck to Clemmensen after the horn?

not thrilled
- Buts16


you don't have reason to be. i know they've only given up 14 shots, but i don't like how they've played this game. and for the love of god, is it too much to ask for the flyers to collect a rebound and actually get a shot on net?

They're already in Florida, and some with their dads. They may have started yesterday.

all 4 guys were in a straight line on the other end of the puck after a bad pass. saw that coming a mile away.

No doubt. Voracek made a bad decision, but if Gustafsson is going to move up on the play, he needs to stagger and come late, where he would have been wide open. It's a shame, because the Flyers weren't giving Florida squat until then.

Better to be tied heading into the 3rd then behind. The Flyers have their game together.

on some teams i've played on, yes, but not my current team. we've won our league the last 2 seasons, and the guys are pretty decent positionally. i see more bad coverage down low on a breakdown in our own end....much like we watch on tv every night.

*itches to play again*

I was the defensively responsible winger (AKA Manderville scoring touch). Goalies on both teams liked me.

i was watching the clock around the 5 minute mark, thinking that florida hasn't done much at all, and just wanted them to get out of the period after squandering 2 powerplays. of course, the announcers have to blather about how the flyers have shut down the panthers right around the same time, and then i knew a goal was forthcoming in the next minute or two. the mistakes and point blank chances they give up on a nightly basis are just staggering.

I do miss it, but can only afford one of me and my son to play. I'll let him play.

Before the first period was 10 minutes old, I said how much I miss Gene Hart.

Depends. My son plays limited travel and it was about $800. Full travel is more than that (a lot).

I miss him every game. The amount of BS while the puck is in play is simply annoying.
