Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Flyers Gut Out Vital 2-1 Win in Colorado
- bmeltzer

BOOOOO! sincerely NJD's

Gut check win without a doubt!!

I can't help but admit I was shocked and pretty worried when we decided to put Manning and Amac out to close out the game with a one goal lead and they could not move the puck and turn it over.

Who do we want to win tomorrow the Devils or the Pens in that game? Either way a 3 point game is not what we want.

i like the Devils better but i think Pens winning puts less pressure on us

Glad to see them get the big win. FLA loses in regulation, so good news all around... with the exception of Neuvirth getting injured again.

Could we score some goals so this isn’t so difficult?

Was at the Knights game couldn't watch this one.

Patrick 12 minutes of ice time & Flip wasn't even playing (aka his fave). Did Nopa get hurt or was it just Hakstol being Hakstol?

I truly believe Neuvirth has some sort of hereditary connective tissue disorder or something. Or maybe rheumatological. But I'm convinced something underlying is contributing to this. It's absurd.

Neuvirth is made of paper mache, they really need to move on from him as soon as possible. It’s a shame because he was playing well but you just can’t rely on him.

Great effort to land a big 2 points last night and big time props to Mrazek for coming in cold and holding down the fort.

yes move him but where? he will not play again this season and that means it will take into next season to show he can still play???


Hope Maz takes some confidence from this, they need him to win the next 3 like he did the first 3, then Elliot will be back.

Man the rebound control comparing Maz and Nuevy, wow. Shame that guy cant stay healthy.

Provorov 27 minutes on back to back 3 in 4. He is such a stud. It happened a lot sooner then I thought to find a true 1 dman with Pronger and Kimmo retiring

I'm hoping for the Devils to win although i hate typing this. As you say a win in regulation is all I really need.

Last night it was painful. I was sure we'd blow that one.

I am amazed at how well he has progressed. He's a two way force and already a reliable 1d 2 years into his career.

I know the neuvirth narrative but I'm wondering if we potentially rushed him back. Hagg had the same thing happen where he came back for 1 game than was out again.

yes move him but where? he will not play again this season and that means it will take into next season to show he can still play???

I don't think we can move him. Bury him in the minors I guess but then he takes a spot of one of the developing tenders.

I am hoping Pitt, just get in the dance.

If the Flyers can get 1 point in Boston I will be happy. I will say the flyers are playing well, it is just heartburn to close out games because they can't score. Even with Manning and Gudas the Flyers have a shot to win every game.

praying for more puck luck, the Devils and Columbus have all the puck luck right now, seems the Panthers are finally not getting some bounces.

To me, I'd like to see them bury a few more chances and for someone to step up as the reliable option in goal.

We're at home vs Boston Saturday, but yeah 1 pt is huge.

I agree just get in at this point. These other teams competing with the Flyers are just playing at an insane level. To the Flyers credit, 11 out if 14 points is very good.

Only way I want Pitt to lose is if they lose all their remaining games and miss the playoffs. That is almost as good as the flyers getting in, maybe better

I desperately want to see them lose. Hopefully first round. Have to kill the evil empire like the eagles did with the pats.

Weise had one good hit and wasn't noticeable besides that, his best game of the year.

We got this. 4-0-3 since hak sacked up
