[Cobiemonster]

READER!!!!! Shorty!!!! 4-2 Flyers!!!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice backcheck by Downie and we go on the PP kill.

 

[Retroram52]

Great D play by Coburn.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Penguins get one back - 4-3 now - Flyers have to keep the foot on the gas pedal

 

[Retroram52]

WE went into lolligag mode and paid for it!

 

[Retroram52]

We have still double-up shots on goal then the Pens.

 

[Vadered]

This last minute is pretty bad...

 

[Cobiemonster]

Flyers lead 4-3 after two periods - need to have a strong third period and put the Penguins away

 

[Retroram52]

A one goal lead going into the third. Flyers need to step on the gas again and spend more time in the offensive zone in the third.

They definitely need to get back to the intensity level from yesterday and the 1st period.

On a more positive note though, does anyone else notice that it looks like Luke Schenn is starting to put it all together the past few games? It would be the perfect time for him to take that next step and it looks like he and A Mac have found some good chemistry.

 

[Vadered]

Oh, great, now only one ref....

 

[Retroram52]

Streit and Read were so close.

 

[flyersfan4706]

I'm back. Let's finish them

 

[Retroram52]

Much better pressure in the early going.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Need a big kill here by the Flyers

 

[Vadered]

Feels like a must-kill penalty.

Get it done, Flyers. Let's win this!

 

[Retroram52]

Read in the box and we go on the PP kill.

 

[Retroram52]

Grossman pounding the Pens and a very timely puck clear on that kill.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice pounding the puck on goal in the offensive zone where we need to be this quarter to pressure the Pens into mistakes.
