The Flyers were due for a clunker after a great run since the Olympic break and they had it last night vs a desperate team. Vladar’s giveaway gave the pens a lot of momentum. Shake this game off and move on. Winning the series on Pens ice wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen. Vladar didn’t have his best game. Will Ersson see some ice time in Pitt???
Vladar seems banged up so he may need to sit a game. Hopefully he is able to play on Saturday? Having the home crowd may get Ersson through a tough game 4 vs the pens if Vladar is out. Hopefully things work out and no need for a game 5 in pissburgh.
The Pens couldn’t handle the physicality of the Flyers and it threw their stars off their game. The Pens looked silly trying to muck it up with seconds left in the 3rd period. A sweep to win it all in Philly would be great to see. The Pens will try to make some changes to their game, but I doubt it will work. Go Flyers!
Great win, but the Flyers made it a little too exciting in the end. The penguins have a lot of talent, but getting physical takes them off their game. It was great to see Cindy Crybaby so upset at the end of the game with Sandheim. As Tocchet said, Risto is bult for the playoffs and we need a dman that is big enough to clear the crease against some of the bigger forwards. I’m happy that he was not traded at the deadline and that he has finally made it to the Playoffs. Let’s see what the next game brings?
It’s amazing to see the Flyers get 98 points and 3rd place in the Metro with a non existent Power Play. Getting Martone and Foerster back was like getting 2 stud players in a trade. Both are willing to cause problems in front of the net. Hopefully the PP improves with both guys back. The Flyers have to stay out of the box or it’s going to be a short series. Glad to see Risto finally make it to the playoffs.
Carolina has been tough on the Flyers the last few years. I was wondering if Tocchet puts Ersson in goal tonight and saves Vladar for Tuesday in a possible win or die game vs Montreal?
Just a quick list–Mikael Granlund, Boone Jenner, Mason McTavish, Marco Rossi, Gabe Vilardi. We would all prefer somebody younger like McTavish, but we will see what happens. Maybe some sort of a trade for non free agent? Something has to be done because Dvorak and Coots are not top line Centers.
The Flyers rebuild/retool is hopefully just about over. The Flyers don’t have any Centers in the system that are anywhere near making it to the NHL. If the Flyers make the playoffs, I think it will draw some quality free agents during the off season. Briere made good moves signing Vladar and trading for Zegras. With the dead money from Hayes, Atkinson and Laughton coming off the books this summer, Briere should have some money to spend to get us a quality Center in free agency.
Huge win! Hopefully we get some help in the games tonight? Good game by Matvei, but he’s making too many trips to the penalty box. Hopefully he out grows this bad habit sooner than later.
