Not impressed with Raffl that period. Shake the rust off, kid!

not seeing much offensive continuity
- bird_dog_pa

yeah, a couple of good spurts in the latter 1/3 of the period, but not much overall.

the Bruins are being aggressive ... if the Flyers can get some better breakouts they might find a few odd man rushes in the 2nd.

1st period, 1st game, on the road against a good team.

For the most part, they look fine

- BiggE


decent period overall, outside the penalty. they clean up the passing and clears in that period, they look way better.

like to see some more O-zone time and like to notice the top line some more

Yeah I feel like they're getting better as the game goes on. The Giroux unit is still putting things together - they seem dangerous. The Flyers could have potted a couple that period easily. Everyone's settling in. I'm not worried thus far.

Positives: They look faster, and I like having four lines that can play

Negatives: Not clearing the zone as well as they could

B's played their system well. Rinaldo was Rinaldo -- what are you gonna do?

A couple rough spots, but overall a solid first period on the road. Rinaldo has to be smarter. Coburn looked a bit ragged. MDZ had the one bad pass, but looked good otherwise.

Coburn and Raffl had a rough 1st period ... hope the rust comes off a bit in the 2nd

Looks like a typical Flyers vs Bruins/Devils/Rangers game.

What's he supposed to do? The other 3 PK'ers were behind the net, and getting beat out to the front of the net.
- Tomahawk


Raffl is supposed to be on the off side post, not on the puck side post. That being said, still not his fault. Should've never been on the PK.

The VLC line has been their best line so far
- BiggE


And the Giroux line the worst.

I thought the call against Rinaldo was bullpoop. If anything call both him and Krug. Especially after the got away with a boarding and a cross check before that.

I thought Del Zotto did look competitive out there, like he was engaged in the game. That was one of the criticisms, but I didn't see that in the first.

81 games and two periods left! I'm optimistic!
