Roflmao at that turnover

Easiest goal the Flyers will score all season

 

[Cobiemonster]

What a shot by Jake off the faceoff

 

[Retroram52]

We are all tied in the third after having the lead. This looks familiar.

 

[4thstreet]

Nice goal by Jake in ot.
way to go boys!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Big kill at the end of regulation gave them a chance in overtime and they found a way

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, very nice goal for the badly needed win and points.

 

[Maverick426h]

Pretty impressive to hang with Washington after they stormed back in the second period and erased our two goal lead like it was nothing. They had won 12 straight at home and only 4 other teams have beaten them there all season long. I thought for sure we were going to blow a chance at any points when the penalty on Read was called late in the 3rd, but we killed it off rather easily and won it very early on in the OT.

Really great to see Voracek snipe a couple of them. I don't think that there is a single guy on the team that we'd rather see start scoring at his regular pace again. Read and Umberger would be distant seconds.

With the two assists, Ghost pulls into a three way tie for 6th overall in rookie scoring at 22 points. Everyone ahead of him is a forward that has played in at least 19 more games and as many as 24. Amazingly, he is also tied for 5th on the team in scoring despite missing 18 of our games.

Props to Giroux for really spanking Backstrom in the faceoff circle. 24-8 is pretty damn ridiculous and at least one of them directly led to a goal by Voracek. Also, White gets a goal from the bottom six while we've been beating them senseless here. Umberger continues to struggle however. He had half of the net to look at against Holtby and he double clutches, then shoots it right into the glove. Unreal. That would've made it 3-0.

The seemingly unlikely win thrusts us right back into the playoff race only 5 points back with 1 to 4 games in hand on every team ahead of us. Win those games and we pass at least 4 teams and sit 9th. We're in better position than teams like Carolina, Montreal and Ottawa already, we've just played far fewer games.

Time to get everyone healthy and make a run after the break. If we're not a playoff team, then why do we keep beating the best teams? It's a mystery to me.

Great win and we needed that so badly.

I won't complain a ton but it did take a great pass from Kuznetsov(haha) for that goal - that was the best pass a center not named Giroux has made to a Flyer in ages
