Tampa got figured out. It’s one thing for them to run the regular season, but it’s different once you’re in the playoffs and the other team has you scouted. I have the benefit of living in Tampa so I can get a feel for them. Once they get a lead they sit back and don’t push but at the same time they don’t have an effective trap. Cooper is not an emotional coach at all and can’t adjust on the fly. Long story short no jam. They have a phenomenal front office and ownership but IMO they desperately need a new coach.

Columbus doesn’t scare me. This series is just a product of Tampa not being able to finish. 

Frankly I’m actually more concerned with Montreal simply because I think Carey price if he gets into a zone can steal a series. You saw it against Pittsburgh. He stole them that series.  They mustard up just enough offense to get by Pittsburgh with price playing lights out. also regular season took the flyers twice in overtime to beat the habs and we also lost once 4-1. 

I actually think the Flyers would beat Columbus. They actually matchup better for us. We smoked them in two games, one game went to overtime and the other wasn’t as close as that 3-2 score.

I relished in the opportunity to use it. Thy said they scored 2.5 goals per game that penguins series.

Today is a big game. You go up 2-0 it starts breaking the Habs down. Tie 1-1 they think they still have a chance. Have to play with energy and jump today with Hart standing on his head. 

Worst thing you can do against a solid goaltender like Price is pass up open shots the way JVR did.  Flyers just need to use their balanced scoring and depth to wear MTL down.  Habs don't have depth and can't match lines for a whole series.  Short shifts, roll 4 lines at them and shoot at Price from everywhere.  The Flyers scored their 2 goals on a screen and a rebound off a deflection.  They also gifted MTL with 2 missed open nets.

Everyone has said it, just have to get ahead. They can't let the habs off the hook by not capitalizing on open nets. 

Also they just showed raffl skating warm-ups, if he can play he'll be in next game and can really be a difference 

3 o'clock, Friday afternoons were made for Hockey!  I'm excited!

Spoiler

 

Let's Go Boys! Let's make it 2! 

I'm predicting a big game from 14 today.

Well that’s not good. 

 Poor defense there. 

WTF was that Voracek.... Hart coming up huge!

How one of our 6'5 defensemen let a 5'8 guy drive on them is ridiculous 

And Thompson to the box...  not the start you want in the first 5 minutes. 

This team looks lost right now.  If not for Hart, we'd be in a deep hole right now. 

Man, Ghost made up for his own mistake on that 2-1

The annoying part is that the Canadiens aren't a talented team, that's why their entire offense revolves around just throwing pucks at the net from any angle praying they can get a bounce or rebound. Hope a couple of those go in and price keeps goals out and that's the Habs 

Honestly they have no Time in the offensive zone. They keep dumping and not getting close to the puck and Montreal gets it out of their defensive zone with relative ease. We continue to just be slow to lj is and make stupid turnovers just like ghost did there. we’ve played 4 periods of hockey I’d argue Montreal dominated 2 of the 4. 

Just gotta survive the next few minutes only down 1...

Clement said it perfectly, flyers trying to pass too much

Sloppy so far.  Stop getting cute with the passing and put some pucks on the net already.

Put a body on these guys and hit these b*tches!  Stop letting them skate all over the place.

Ghost has had a brutal period. 

Sloppy sloppy first period thus far. Get some damn pucks on net. 

Jesus what a meltdown
