basically, the way the refs are calling it has adjusted, and the Flyers haven't. More effort required from the Flyers now as well.

They had two days to make adjustments.

Any chance they make the right ones in the next fifteen minutes?

Maybe Lava can go over the outlet pass/carryout to upset the Devils' "cycle during period break. Have to assume he worked on this at practice yesterday...

Seriously why do they keep dumping the puck to the back of the net into the trapazoid area so brodeur can play the puck?
- bird_dog

that and they're REALLY slow to react to the puck in the defensive zone.

honestly, this looks like the Devils were the 1st seed and the Flyers the 8th.

Any love on that Bryz save? Nah, let's just blame him for not stopping Kovy on q play that is the equivalent to a breakaway.....
- steelydan


I really can't blame the last two games on Bryz. The team isn't competing and mixing it up like they need to in order to compete.. This is ridiculously boring hockey, but they have to adjust.

all these goals can't be blamed on the defense some goalies dont' have that issue when their defense sucks
- 2Real


And some can't be blamed on the goalie.

Had they played better defense some of the goals given up never even happen.

He played damn good in game 2 and they played like crap in front of him. It's simply not on him to allow Kovy to skate in wide open.

Glad it is only 2-1 ... Flyers were thoroughly outplayed that period ... Debs were always first to the puck and winning all battles!

Calm down, folks. Plenty of hockey left.

Time to make some adjustments of our own and start working our own cycle. We're letting the Devils beat us at our own game right now.

It's not boring for the Devils. They have a free pass in the Flyers zone and seem to be able to stay there as long as they like.

In the last two games there have been stretches of 18, and 12 minutes without a shot on goal.

Game two wasn't a peel the paint off the wall moment for Lavy IMO but this game he should be throwing chairs, sticks, clipboards and dry humping the guys playing extra poorly.

they have to out work the devils active sticks, skating & ability to cycle the puck.

if they can't it's just going to get worse

it's natural that if you block 100% of the shots the goalie wont' let any in but the goalie still needs to stop the puck when asked to
