Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Late 5-on-3 Disadvantages Prove Fatal in 6-5 Loss in Nashville

(frank)

Whoever goes back and looks up what Mono said about Point, can you please find what I said about the delay of game penalty on a challenge at the end of a game

Chew on that for 4 days. Did hak own up to it after the game? Joke

Idk, to me you need your goalie to make a play. The team fights out of a 3-0 hole and take a 5-3 lead.

At somepoint how about the goalie step up his game and shut the door?

I am not blaming the goalie but damn he was less then average tonight.

I thought 4th and 8 was bad, then Hak was all like - "Hold my beer!"

Now no one will remember the good game AMac and Filppula had. It is the world's way of making things right

i'm so angry i can't see straight.

I think he forgot that it's not bemijdi st. on the docket Saturday to get that point back

At least Doug says he's learning. What's haks excuse?

Embarrassing stuff.
The Goaltending of Elliot, the phantom home team call on Weise plus additional "manufactured" late game call and the total buffoonery of Head Coach Hakstooge all combined for a brutal loss. I actually feel bad for the majority of the players. They deserved better.

On the bright side, this team is looking way better than I thought they would. The way they clawed their way back into the game after being down 3 goals really showed me something. There's a lot of fight in this dog.

This is what usually you can expect with amac tho. His penalty was a penalty and should have been called. He is to be in control of his stick and being that careless at a bad time of game knowing you are already going to be down one player is inexcusable. then after that Hakstol sends him right out there after he comes out of the box to kill another 5 on 3 like hes rewarding him and he does a snow angel impression infront of Elliot to give up the game winning goal.

Bottom line is his mistakes far in away are more noticeable then his positives.

As if... Yeah, let's blame it on Amac, just because.

I thought the call on Weise was legit. Can't wrap the free arm around an opponent and drag him down. My only gripe was that it could also have been interference on Nashville.

Didn't like the 2nd call.... that was a marginal attacker accidentally steps on the defender's stick and falls down play. It shouldn't have merited making a call that set up a 5-on-3 for two minutes.

Bottom line the coach lost a sure point and as it turned out he lost both points. I said it all last year he is the worst coach in the league and he did nothing to change my opinion tonight. What a moronic decision at a critical time of the game. Elliot was not great tonite but I still do not blame him for what happened in the last few minutes. 6 on 3 and then 5 on 3 with the likes of Johansen, Forsberg, Arvidsson, Subban etc You can not expect to stop these guys down that many men. This team has so many bright stars but MacDonald, Weise and Manning should be spare parts and sitting. Hextall better wake up and see that Hakstol is bush league. Hartnell and Schenn keep racking up the goals, miss them both but our Flyers like Umbergers and unfulfilled draft picks better. Just so pizzed with the outcome tonite.

Yea, if Weise doesn't horse collar the guy, at the very least there isn't a call there, and possibly even an interference call on Nashville.

Morin in for MacDonald, anybody in for Weise lol and please get us a coach

Hey the Rangers lost again. May they lose as long as that dirtbag DeAngelo is on their roster.

He was a healthy scratch tonight, which I love.

4 games in, 1 point being argued, I'm ok with things so far. Pleasantly surprised in fact...good team, fast and young with a lot of new faces that, if allowed to season and grow - likely throughout this season and next - should be a legit contender for years to come. I'm cool with that.

piss poor refs blew the game for us

Can only blame Elliott for 1 of the goals. 2 of the goals were the refs fault and 2 of the goals were Giroux's fault. The other one... I can't (frank)ing remember what happened because this game made me so mad

Team playing good so far just imagine if they had a great 1st line. 2 highest paid guys on the team Vorachek & Giroux no show again tonight. Saying it for the last 3 years Giroux and his cap hit are killing this team. Team scored 5 goals tonight (none by him, none since the 1st game which was an empty net gift turnover) and he was still a -2.

If the Flyers had managed to win that game, they should've gotten four points in the standings. Two for overcoming the Preds, and two for overcoming the on-ice officials.
