That call was awful
- keaner17

Sure was. If you looked on the flyer thread from last night you would think we had the refs in the bag to do our bidding and Pelech should be suspended for the playoffs for that hit on Farabe

From the sound of things, Barzal is pretty much a lock to play tomorrow.(though Trotz is playing coy)

"Flyers coach Alain Vigneault says fortunately Matt Barzal is OK after stick to eye - he took an elevator ride with Barzal.

"I don't know more than I knew yesterday on (Sean Couturier). He's still at this time being evaluated." "

Trotz gives an update on Barzal: “I think everything is trending in the right direction right now. Hopefully by tomorrow we’ll have more specifics.” #Isles

Perhaps it was just a swelling issue (?)

Vigneault said #Isles have no weaknesses. "How many teams in the #NHL have Pageau and Brassard on their third line? It's just a real solid team from the forward group to the D group to both their goaltenders. You have to play your best." #Flyers

Bailey read “Hockey Buzz Defensive Zone Coverage for Dummies” pregame.

I think you are just an angry person.. even when I say Bailey had a good Defensive game u are angry that I don't love the guy all the time.

As absurd as you think the people who Hate Bailey 100% of the time are and see Zero Value in him as a player (That is not me.. I always said his offense is great but D-zone play often maddening)... You are that absurd to me b/c you will refuse to see anything bad he does during a game. As if he is a spectacular 2 way player that never gives the puck away.

There might be a middle ground... maybe? nah.

Very old and angry !

For me Bailey is a top 6 forward who does play well in the d zone ( not perfect ) and has good creativity in the O zone. Hes been one of the best players in the POs. It’s taken him awhile to get to this level or his prime.

The fan base on Bailey, there really isn’t any middle ground. He’s been the beating post for years on here come on let’s be real. Especially after KO and Frans’s departure.
If Bailey doesn’t get the puck out it’s out on the thread immediately. With multiple post after. If he turned over the puck or made bad passes in the d zone as Pulock did last night omg I couldn’t imagine the outrage, however Not much mention during the game about those miscues.
Everyone makes mistakes it’s just who makes them which determines the fans out cry and how loud whether justified or not. This is my opinion of course and I just try to call it the way I see it without bias.

I know.

In penance I self flagellated myself 27 times, and won’t wear my Lee jersey to bed until the conclusion of this series.

when you need to write paragraphs in defense of a player, he sucks. Simple as that.

this may ruin your happy mood, but I agree that Bailey is more than good enough for the price.


But that doesn't mean he shouldn't be criticized for making numb skull attempts at numb skull plays. He does it too often to ignore.
