Another great comeback, I really love this team...They gotta come prepared to play tho'. Sometimes tough losses pay future dividends. They will learn from this.

Exactly. No idea if it would've been different if the Flyers came out ready to play but it's another game where they didn't. They've shown they can compete and play with any team in the league when they compete. No idea why that is still an issue with this team. It's frustrating.

There’s things you can take from taking that lightning team to the brink in the midst of whatever win streak they have going. We’ve played some good hockey lately, clean a few things up and we should be alright

No moral victories and they need to fix the slow starts on the road but that to me seems more fixable than just being outclassed regularly by the league’s best. They’re not sitting in a bad place going forward.

Need to get Konecny off the top PP even if it is just for a little bit. I find he is not making good plays and usually ends up losing battle or turning a puck over.

Someone should start telling them the game starts an hour early. Then they will be ready.

I think a playoff series between the Flyers and Bolts would be pretty darn good. I will spare you all the nutless jokes that are flying around.

Agreed. Really frustrating. When they start well they win

He's in the wrong spot. He is not effective as a net front player.

They can compete with any team in the league. They may not win a 7 game series against a top team but I believe they could be a tough out.

Don't know if anyone mentioned or even noticed. This is the second time this year the Lightning have had a ten game winning streak. Both streaks reached 10 games in a win over the Flyers. Last time Jersey beat them the next game. Can't make this stuff up.

The Captain letter should always be on the left chest.

The first goal I don’t view as a slow start. I felt like the Flyers brought a solid effort but fell to confusion. Provorov felt like the shooter took a shot that goal past him that didn’t, which led to a second shot into the net. The team became deflated and they had to find their pojo and they did...except Konecny.

Was at the game yesterday...visiting my folks who live here in the winter

-Tampa is REAL good...four lines that can put the puck in the net
-Lost the faceoff battle yesterday...that hurt
-Slow start on the road...sounds like a broken record
-Lost majority of puck battles and puck possession
-Rallied in the 3rd....Vasy stole the game for Tampa
-Voracek just looks lost...for his salary...ugh!
-Tampa fans mostly were nice...some shook our hand after the game and said maybe see you in the playoffs.
