To be honest not really much happend than those 2 MAF saves. The Hak trap must be painful to watch for those paying $400-500 for a seat.

I think you’re crazy. Fleury got stronger as the game went on making a lot of impressive saves. The Giroux and Laughton breakaways standout but so does the save on Giroux when the goalie was pulled as we put on pressure in the last minute of the game. The Flyers were very good today. Fleury stole two points from us.

Misha has been making great decisions and little plays to set up chances in most if not all the games so far. I'd feel comfortable tasking him as 2C for a week, and I feel very comfortable with him as a 3C

Provorov was better positionally today and did look much more like Provorov, but he was still fighting the puck. I have no doubts he'll come around.

Vorobyev is solid away from the puck but with the puck he is not doing much. It was hard to tell he even played today, which is a good thing and a bad thing. I know he is a rookie but in reality to this point at best, he is a 4th line center in the NHL. I think he can eventually be a solid 3rd line center but he needs time. He's not really ready for 3C and definitely not for a 2C role in the NHL. I still believe in him as a player but he just needs time to grow. Unfortunately the Flyers don't have much choice.

I disagree with a few posters on Voracek. For me he was much better defensively than he usually is, but he often killed the speed of the game by circling O zone with the puck on his stick resulting in 0 dangerous chances or even shots on goal. So much puck possession and so little to show for it.

Laughton came back in the game and played. Do you mean Lindblom?

Dunno.
Flyer had solid chances throughout to me.
Not sure about that Hak Trap, sounds like a Team Negative line.

Vorobyev shouldn’t be in offensive situations and it’s sad Hakstol and a lot of these fans haven’t noticed. Vorobyev is awesome away from the puck with with it, he had a lot of work to do.

I thought killing the penalty in the final minutes of the game would give them some mojo to eek out a goal or at the very least get it to OT.

PK was good. The overall defense as team was good. Moose played well. Just an unfortunate ending.

I really didn't have a good feeling going into this game, seeing as Vegas had lost 2 in a row and the Flyers were dinged up. It's ashame a solid effort resulted in zero points.

He's definitely going through some growing pains and you can see/sense his nervousness. He also has the raw talent/skills to adapt and grow. I hope he works it out. I think some of his creativity is a little too advanced for the speed/quick-decision style that is the NHL. He'll get it I hope.

So who is that on, Voracek who is trying to make plays, or the other players who aren't getting open. Voracek has been a dominant player, including in today's game.

Dominant and dangerous are 2 very different things.
Secondly, he was trying to force plays rather than creating them
Thirdly, he had plenty of opportunities to take shot himself, and he did not.

What? Hate is too ridiculous of a word to use here.
Expressing an opinion in a polite discussion is not hate. Labeling this opinion as hate in just ridiculous

Ok. Now we are closer to a discussion. I stated my reasoning in my opinion. Would you like to provide any constructive argument, or are you going to continue with baseless bashing?

Sure, and that's ok that we disagree on Voracek play today. But you should not be very categorical in your post, if you are not willing back it up with arguments. Without that you are coming across as a jerk.
