pretty much. it drives me insane.

i had my own game this afternoon at 3. getting dressed, knew they had tied it. was really surprised by that, and of course the ending. i was just fuming when i left for the rink. it helped me on some level. had a great game today.

I missed the whole game but DVR'd it so I was good to go when I got home.

I would've sent the tape to you if I was still using my VHS, but... sorry.

Looks like the Flyers might have found another undrafted gem in Wellwood.


I knew the guy was fast, and was a pretty responsible defensive forward, but the kids shown some nice offensive skills/moves.


I thought he should've gotten more playing time in today's game to be honest surprised he only played 11:30 mins.

agreed.. but he was drafted.. 6th round

Bryz was better than Flower today, that was the difference. I think we win that one more often than we lose it, but I think Philly gets a better start than that usually too. Good game Flyers.

The Flyers have been ahead at the ten minute mark like, 4 times in the past 40 games. Slow starts have hurt the Flyers all year.

Like Couturier, Wellwood is too good for the 4th line it seems, (and too good for the AHL for sure)

Played very well for Windsor, it didn't hurt he was on a line with Taylor Hall for 2 years at least.

BTW...


Sunshine finished the season with 33 GP, 1.73 GAA and .935 SV%.


He's been even better in the playoffs though 5 GP, 1.37 GAA and a .953 SV% for Skelleftea.


Not bad for a 21 year old eh? (yeah i hope they sign him again).

I hope so too but I am not sure they will, he may look at the Bryz deal and think I have no legit shot here now.

Who knows he might still spend at least another year in Europe, especially with no CBA beyond this season he doesn't have to choose now.

Glad you could channel your fire

It really was a complete 180. They were all over the Pens, getting under the Pens' skin and forcing the issue.

i'm glad they were capable of the turnaround. when malkin tucked in that cross crease drive with 50 seconds left in the 2nd i didn't think they had much of a chance. i'm happy they showed the proverbial grit, and fought back, especially with the injuries, but it burns me to no end that they can play so poorly in these games against the better teams in the conference. i know they have injuries. i know they have a lot of rookies. there's still a lot of leadership and experience on that bench however.

bummed i missed it. such is my lot. left the rink with a smile though.

I understand what you mean. It can be frustrating at times, but it's good learning experiences
