Considering yesterday's game, I'd probably be losing it if I were Laviolette.

i would be too. another first 10 minutes of the period without a shot. that's just unacceptable.

that was the definition of what should be a penalty shot. stick swing and a miss and he takes giroux down. i'm simply flabbergasted.

Looked on the replay to me like the no call was the correct call.

i just hope homer or someone gives him the green light to say what he wants about the refs cause they'll flip the bill
- 2Real

Yes this is getting ridiculous. Lavi should say something about the officiating. It has been beyond awful

Gustafsson with only 3 shifts, and a little over 2 minutes in icetime in the first period.

I wish I could have caught the post game reactions from yesterday's game. You can't blame the refs every game and the players have to take responsibility for their own play but I also think the Refs need to take responsibility for missed calls and bad ones. A penalty shouldn't be of their choosing, a penalty should be called when a rule is broken within the game. I know they aren't going to catch everything but when you hear the words "They're letting them go", I'm all for that when the game is close and both teams are working hard. You can't allow things to go one way. This is the second game in 2 days where a call was obvious but the refs didn't happen to see it.

I'm aware that he never touched the puck. He also didn't trip Giroux.

He looked extremely uncomfortable at times too, especially in the face of pressure. The reverse to Feds could have been costly.

If they call the weak hold a penalty on Read, they need to call it both ways.

The Schenn no call was interference, pretty clear cut.

I guess Giroux isn't a star yet, that play yesterday and then the trip on the breakaway are always called when you're a star.

Great period by Bryz

Lol Morganti really just say the flyers shouldn't be afraid to take penalties because they had a good Short handed chance?

After the non call on Schenn being tripped earlier, hard to blame Giroux for selling it.
- Jsaquella


Completely agree. Just pointing out that it may have been a factor in his not getting the call. Of course, it could just be the plain and simple fact that the refs are doing a terrible job in this game.

Hartnell seems utterly invisible. This should be his kind of game.

Flyers need to keep their heads here.
Calls not going their way, but this is a very winnable game.

I agree, the interference on Schenn should have been called. You can't move laterally to impede a player's progress.

he had a turn over that looked pretty bad, maybe the coach has lost some confidence in him.
