Having watched Orpik a lot over the years, I've come to the conclusion that he whines about EVERYTHING. For a guy who plays with as much of an edge as he does, you'd think he wouldnt be such a crybaby.

That is the Gudas I remember.

Yes he hit to crush your bones, but he also made strong moves and wasn't afraid to block shots

I guess, I don't mind them sitting back if I'm the Flyers. More puck possession.

Point made by the CSN crew, they are really collapsing down low.

Use the points.

Pathetic period. Not one shot was a good chance and they had 3 PP.

Best chance they had was Read and I could have saved it.

(frank)ing pathetic. Terrible.

They need to adjust to the collapsing defense..pass it to the points and crash the net. They've done a good job with zone entries and on the forecheck.

Yeah, this is scary. Caps are due AT LEAST one makeup call, more likely 2. You know they're gonna cash in with it. Flyers need to pot a goal before going on the PK. Hope they come out flying in the 2nd.

Besides the 0-3 on the PP ....good period.....honestly our D is where I see this team running out of steam...good news is the horses are coming. The caps have some big forwards that pound.....that makes for a tough matchup.

flyers didn't do nearly enough with their 3. squander. squander. squander.
