Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Flyers Down Golden Knights, 6-2

Nice to see the offence kick into gear but we still need G and Voracek to get rolling.

when are they going to switch that goal from raffl to Provy?

It's coming the Giroux line had a lot of good looks tonight.

Balanced scoring will be important for this team. Hopefully, G strikes soon. What a debut for Farabee...love his skill set! Vorobyev looks stronger, had a good game. Keep it up. Nice game for Elliott, plus puck luck and the goals do help. Great win! Fun 2 points.

no one going to praise stewart for his great game tonight?

Nice flip up the ice on the Raffl breakaway. 4th-line played well.

A tape-to-tape feed from Sean Couturier to Matt Niskanen produced a picturesque backdoor goal.

That puck doesn't get through if not for Konecny's awesomely timed stick lift.

Stewart leads the team in pointing to bicep/60

He's the truth

So many positives in this complete game effort. They got solid goaltending, moved the puck well, had line rushes into the zone, even scored on a 2 on 1. The goal disparity won't always be this great ( thanks, in part , to a less-than-stellar effort by Dansk), but they should have a lot of success when playing like this

It is about, like it has always been, keeping up this level of play over the bulk of the year

Farabee has one bad unforced giveaway that nearly wound up in our net but when you watch him you can see the hockey sense oozing out of him. Nice player. Horrendous number

Yea nice catch. Wow

Good all around effort

It really was nice to have a Flyers game be a joy. I still have some serious nits, but it is harder to point them out when the team wins by 4.

I thought Farabee looked very good. His motor never quits.

Hayes found a way against a really fast team. Lots of good.

Except....Ghost looked weak on the puck. Voracek was playing tourist hockey and G couldn’t hit the net.

Ghost doesn’t look like he has the confidence to do his juke move. If that is not going to be a part of his game anymore he shouldn’t be out there. Myers will give you more

According to AV, the four goal second period was their worst of the season!

Team is becoming the young guns team, starting with Coots. Good to see Hayes score , I think it is a lift to have Hayes score, he represents a new direction for the team.

They have played pretty good hockey, hope they can get better

The Flyers played an improved game offensively and finished on some chances. Overall, they were way too loose defensively. They need to tighten that up or they'll lose their fair share of games playing that loose. Elliott repeatedly bailed them out.

Good all around effort

There is still a lot of work to go in proving this is the norm and not an aberration.

Enjoyable game to watch though.

They played ok. The difference was that they finally got some puck luck, and most importantly, Elliott was very good while the Knights goalie was awful.

lindblom, coots and konecny are getting more impressive as a line. Raffl looked good back at the wing.

Anyone else hear the chatter between konecny and mcnabb after the boarding.......

"Seriously man, what are you doing....bonehead." his mouth cracks me up....eat up.

Voracek and G playing together again, had some great looks. Always seems Jake is a better player when playing with G. also game one with laughts on hayes wing. I like this as a shutdown line.

I think they played very well offensively and I don't see it as puck luck. Agree on the goalie play in the game. Defensively, the Flyers weren't very good.

I'll certainly take it after the results in the previous 4 games. Glad moose played solid. I'd come back with hart Thursday, And hopefully he can get going as well.

I'd go Hart Thursday, he's beaten Chicago already and that should give him some confidence. I think keeping Elliot fresh is allowing him to play better as well, lets keep him healthy. Years past he has a couple good games and then we decide to run him into the ground.

??? Coots really ain't that young by today's NHL standards and has a ton of NHL experience under his belt
