Sportsnet broadcast not giving that Ullmark save on Hall the respect it deserves. It was a great move by Hall and his release was immediate. Ullmark got that foot over there lightning quick. Great save
the bruins were actually good, this flyers team is playing a basic trap style and waiting on penguins to royally screw up, and they have
at least they scored a lot, this is just a boring slog
We can't care more than they do
They somehow still have life, technically.
Both games have been a brutal watch
Bryan Rust, get your shit together
If they actually get set up I would try working it from down low. Get the Flyers to sink down and then you'll have up top with more time. Right now it is just perimeter junk.
Also #SidDownLow should be the focus
Dubas has no real attachment to him, I could see him being blunt about it privately
he's from pittsburgh
They deserve to be swept
the problem is if they don't have the courage to sit him. They have 50M in cap space so his cap hit is whatever
if i'm remembering correctly the pittsburgh tribune used to have a message board for the penguins and one of the trolls had that as his name
Pathetic defending. Letang gains the entry and then just throws it away. He whiffs on the hit and takes out another Penguin. Goal immediately after. 58 is killing them
Now it makes sense why things are going to shit
All because Connor Clifton wanted to throw a useless hit during the foot race (that he whiffed and fell on) instead of just getting the puck. Everything after that was Philadelphia controlling the play.
I thought Girard would have better hands than he's shown. He fights it way too often. He also fights it almost every puck battle
Stylistically Chinakhov is just a better fit with Malkin than Crosby.
Make some adjustments, Dan
Rakell-Crosby-Rust
Chinakhov-Novak-Malkin
This current setup isn't doing anything
So while the Penguins did a nice job with their breakouts against the trap early on. They've done absolutely nothing offensively. This remains a pro Flyers game script. Especially if you can't make them pay when they take penalties
Penguins win the faceoff clean and get the rim they want and Connor Dewar loses his board battle. Now another icing. Sequences like that can cost you in the playoffs.
You're a 4th liner, win your board battle
he's small and plays small, and his hands and choices haven't made up the difference there. I keep waiting for more and it doesn't happen
you got a power play, skate away
he only played 7 games when Colorado won it all
The power play has to get going. If 5v5 is going to be a slog with the Flyers intended style of play you need to take advantage of time and space.
Having Bryan Rust where Erik Karlsson should be on the setup is not how to do it
Decent start. They look way more organized
Excellent early adjustment to the Flyers trap
