Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Flyers Routed by Rangers, 5-1

I left the house and it was 1-0.

I get home 4 hours later and its 5-1 final.

Wow. That is depressing.

be thankful you didn't have to suffer through it.

Thank God I passed out after it was 1-1. Condolences to the rest of you.

I left the house 4 hours before game time. After a train ride and dinner I was pleased by the initial Gudas goal, even though my polite applause outed me to my MSG neighbors as a Flyers fan. I arrived home discouraged 2 hours after game end. Back in the Lindros years MSG was nearly a guaranteed win. It doesn't feel like it's been that way for years now, though. It may be time to stop torturing myself.

Oh. Now I've read Bill's piece and know it was Weal's goal. I was so sure Gudas was going to score there (I told my host just before he took the shot) and never heard the announcement.

If this team is going to do anything this year Patrick has to start doing something. It’s nice that he’s in position l many times but he’s just not cutting it out there. If not forget it. He had a chance to go hard to the net on a 2 vs 1 with Simmonds but just floated away.

Next year hopefully he will turn it around

Well, that was fun. Put it behind you and go out and beat the Leafs, can't let these things spiral.

Would like to see a 4th line of Laughon, Leier, Goulbourne...speed and some grit and it would also be nice to see Neuvirth get a start. He played well last time out, why not give him a shot..

Don't get this team. Got up for big games vs devils lightning and show up absolutely flat for penguins rangers. Guess that's the life of a bubble team. Was a tough game to watch.

Neuvirth doesn't deserve to be glued he has played well. Elliot has too and won some games for us but we all know career wise he's streaky and he has not been as sharp over the last 2 weeks.

I'm not going to call for any major lineup changes over the loss. Ghoul in or out don't care. Just want them to make up their mind on sanheim.

Was so close to skipping the gym to watch the game. Glad I left when it was only 2-1.

I think he will get better before the end of the season. I am seeing him battle a bit harder. He has arguably been worse than Filppula.

Good enough reason for a lineup change :D

They had a good start last night for the first 10 mins. But after that were sloppy as hell and it cost them because the Rangers were a determined team.

I really don't understand the reasoning behind not changing goalies after it was 4-1. I get that there were breakdowns that lead to quality chances, but you have to make a switch there. I would've been okay with Neuvirth starting the 2nd after the late goal too, but after the 4th was just ridiculous.

Ugly loss last night and now they get a game with a pregame ceremony. What normally happens in games with pregame ceremony games? We play like nothing matters.

I'd like to see Ghoul in for Lehtera, Sanheim in for Manning and Neuvy get the start.

You're right but they never rebounded. They pressed too hard and came up with a lot of mistakes. We were sloppy and we got caught staring quite a bit. Again I know like everyone else were a bubble team so I expect ups and downs I just hate downs like this. Be competitive play good hockey and we can all deal with losses

Nah people were losing their poop when the 10 game losing streak happened and they weren't playing bad.

That was a world-class ass kicking last night.

Review the evidence.
Move on.
