“Tippett very stern in his post game comments. Said Koskinen should have been all 3 stars tonight. Was unhappy with how bad they were through first half of game, said they can’t play that way and be a playoff team. Said tonight is a good teaching tool.”

About what I expected tbh

I don't feel like a lot of their shots were quality shots though. If they didn't have a ticker below the score, I'd have thought the shots were around even.

Towards the end of the game, after the 6th goal, Philly took over, but it didn't feel like 51 shots or whatever it was.

I agree that it felt like they were closer then 52-22, but Philly had a clear advantage. 19 shots against on the PP is certainly a contributing factor but even at 5-on-5 the shots were 33 to 16. Really strikes me as odd because it didn't feel like THAT huge of a disparity.

Persson in concussion protocol and will be out 10 days

For further context, shots were 25-4 in favour of Philly in the 3rd after the game was over so knowing that helps me feel better. 16-8 in the 1st and 11-10 in the 2nd.

Lots of room to grow and improve

Shots only matter if you can put them in the net. Flyers did not. Koskinen did well in net. Hart did not look good. Wasnt a fan of the 2nd LD goal. Thought it was under Elliott's pad and should have been blown dead. Went to bed after the 2nd so didnt see anything from the 3rd. Flyers also didnt do themselves any favours taking 2 dumb penalties when you are already down by 2.

Well to be fair, I’m not entirely feeling it either.

They’re definitely playing better than last year, don’t get me wrong. Yet the numbers do suggest that they’re overachieving somewhat.

Hirose is an Alberta native with good hockey sense and speed. Could do well. Wings need boom or bust projects.

Our top line of Mantha, Larkin and Bertuzzi is the only one producing. Our fourth line with Helm, De La Rose and Ehn we’re doing great not scoring thing so. The two lines he decided to break up and spread out are those two lines.. (frank)ing ridiculous.

I honestly don’t think he understands chemistry.
