Maybe that’s how I should have put it instead of did not play well. It wasn’t up to the performances they’ve had before and after the pause.

The Flyers got completely outplayed by boston in period 1...

Absolutely blitzkrieged them in the 2nd.

Still up 1 zip, with 11 to 5 shots and not playing our best game. Got a feeling were gonna steam roll these guys.

They did not seem crisp. Trying to do too much. A bit of running around in their own zone.

I think the shots tell a pretty good story. I felt like we controlled the play for the most part and the Habs only really saw offensive zone time once...

I hear ya. They had some chances that they got a little cute with. Missed a fair amount of passes. And just ran around a little bit in their defensive zone.

But they are up. Time to turn it on.

I just remember that pittsburgh series. Canadiens couldnt make a tape to tape pass to save their lives and they still won.

That was a stupid icing to take with 9 seconds left. Real stupid.

Lots of Flyers passes just out of reach in the offensive zone

Hayes is being marked very closely. No space for him.

Grant is no longer invisible. Keeps getting tossed from the FO and ends up with Voracek losing the draw though.

Even though JVR passed there and got knocked dowwn by the Wildebeest, I still noticed him more than in the 2 RR games he played.

I think JVR is being wasted in the 4th line. Play him with Voracek and Grant.

JvR in my opinion had a really good period. I don’t know what he did to Vigneault but the guy needs to be involved.

I disagree. That would demote Aube-Kubel who was one of their best forwards in the first period.

Watched every minute of the pens series...mtl got back into game 1 because of a crazy double deflection fluke-o-rama.

Need 3 goals tonight...that will be enough.

Need to start looking to shoot first...pass second!!!

It’s amazing what can happen when the other team employs jack Johnson.
