Detroit making some mistakes. Flyers odd man rush leads to Read missing the net, and a blatant Bertuzzi neutral zone turnover leads to Giroux getting his shot blocked.

And now another dumb penalty.

Flyers are getting good opportunities, they have to hit the damn net. Detroit has been good but the Flyers are right there.

Detroit's point shots are not particularly hard, but they are accurate and shot with purpose. And more importantly, are shot quickly.

That's capitalizing on a mistake. Detroit hasn't been good in imo.

If a guy named Jim Smith makes that hit, there's no penalty.

No, I thought it was clean. They called the charge because they apparently thought he jumped into Ericsson.

42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates or jumps into, or charges an opponent in any manner.

I still think it's a bad call.

Both teams have been a bit sloppy. That's MacD's second misadventure with a puck behind the net...Babcock's going to tie him to the crossbar soon.

No doubt some will not be called for it but, I still think it was. To each their own.

That kind of hit can go either way but when your down 1-0 and on the road you cant make that hit. Lucky it didnt hurt them but I think the Flyers have been playing well tonight. Great opportunities just need to get the puck on net.

He jumped, and I thought it was late. Just an opinion.

Not a great period by any means, but it could have been worst. Need to make quicker decisions with the puck. Way to many wasted opportunities with the puck.

Yeah. When they make a mistake, they don't have a stud goaltender to erase it. Flyers can get two points if they stay out of the box.
