Effective or not.

Very big difference in how the pens and flyers approach the pk.

I thought I did. Maybe not.

Was it good for you to👄

And bring in a coach that understands how to adapt a defensive system to not allow 5 goals per game avg vs pens. And play someone who wants to finish a check. Leave a few bruises for next couple games

I dont see Hakstol as the problem. Out of the 5 goals 3 of them have been PP goals, we all know PK sucks and all of the penalties Philly has taken have been careless\lazy penalties. Crosby goal was nice and 4th goal was Giroux' lazy play leaving his man wide open. To be fair one of the PP goals was due to a stick breaking making it basically a 5 on 3 but our best guys did not show up tonight.

Disappointing. These games have sucked really

Again, you dont mind when they lose. Pens are a better team - but to basically quit, and have that from your top two veterans. Thats not cool.

Another Bryzgalov Tweet Incoming.

What a difference special teams make.

Anytime the Pens get a PP you just get the feeling they're gonna score (whether it's because they're that good or the Flyers PK is that bad and we all know it's bad), and whenever the Flyers are on the PP zilch.

Well, we could blame one player or admit we're not that good. We're definitely inconsistent.

So might Voracek.

yeah but jake can create. simmonds cant do anything. love the guy but there's something wrong with him

At least I get to talk about Stolarz drafted over Murray for the next 30 years!
So there is that! How bout them apples!

Brutal PP today

What did Lindblom do to get 4th lined? I didn’t see anything, just noticed he hadn’t been out there

The correct answer here, in more ways than one, is nothing.

Comes down to the Pens best players are dominating and ours are not showing up

I don't feel we've put our best foot forward if Simmonds isn't on the first PP unit. Ghost and Jake haven't exactly been lights out.

Doesnt mean much - but I dont like them just walking out with the tail in b/w the legs.

Let them know you will see them in game 4.

5am puck drop here, I did that for the gold medal 2 Olympics ago when Sid & Kuni won Canada gold but for game 3 round 1 - I'm sleeping. I must say it looks like I have missed a bit.

So you wake up in time to troll? Apparently that’s your best plan.

I think we are good but just not consistently. Flyers can beat the Pens but in Games 1 and 3 all they have done is beaten themselves. The 1st 10 mins was definitely this team at the top of their game. This game is likely different if Philly capitalizes during those 10 mins.

Hak needs to make some real adjustments next game. Gotta get Weal back in there and Hagg. I'm tired of seeing Manning on the ice he's just not good. Also can't take as many penalties that's what did them in today.

There you go, jerking off to losing again.

This team would have faired Better against the choke specialist crapital

Milbury wants to give Simmonds more minutes.

And Jonesy too. I thought more of him.

simmonds has done nothing over the past 20 games to deserve pp1 time. Nopa has scored like 4 pp goals since the move hes not the issue

- Landsbergfan

Yeah probably could have beaten them. Not to be negative but it's going to be tough for the Flyers to win this series. The upside though is a lot of young guys are getting experience against the 2 time defending champs.

Eat it Flytards. Murray early, Sid all day long.

thank you for the kind words, Sell My Monkey

Milbury and Jones basically blaming the coach for Simmonds poor play. Saying he has destroyed his confidence by cutting his ice time
