Well they had some decent forecheck that period anyway. Need to come out with that same intensity and put it in the damn net.

So this interview is it gritty or iroux?

I said this a couple years ago when we were talking during the 2018 playoffs they need a legitimate superstar. it’s true. Teams that win the Stanley Cup tend to have a big-time star they can carry them when their team is in a drought and makes the players that are good around them even better. Iroux is not that guy he is a Robin. If you had a Batman for him he would look better. With free agency looking like that’s not a possibility in the forwards front as Taylor hall Is the best forward. I go after Pietrangelo

You're making remember the year he played with Jagr, and how nobody else around me at the time seemed to notice what happened and why they shouldn't re-sign the guy after that season.  Jagr played for like 3 more years or something.

As much as i loved jagr the issue is they needed to get a guy entering or in his prime with iroux. Jagr was temporary fit. Tavares was available. I would’ve overpaid to get it done. We overpaid for JVR and voracek anyway. Might as well do it for a guy who’s better than both. 

Interesting fact i didn’t know 

 

Christ how’s that not blown dead with 2 people in the freaking net.And the islanders player wouldn’t get out of the crease 

Well, Provorov kicked at it.  Cant ask for more than that....

I mean the guy didn’t even attempt to get out of the crease after he had a chance. Stood there so hart couldn’t even get across

AV wants to end this early and go down 2-0

Honestly i would’ve challenged it too. The dude got hit into it then stood there for a good 6-7 seconds after it happened. That’s bs 

He may have been pushed in, but he made no effort at all to get out of the crease. That's no goal.

Bogus call. 

He was also holding Provo's stick.

Smh...  what a cluster ....

Yea, thought maybe they'd see it on the 5th view.  Guess not.

Right? How Fing awful of a call. It wasn’t about being hit into hart. Barzal Fing stood there for a good 5-6 seconds not even making an attempt to get out of the crease. 

Call me a homer, but I think that's a BS call. No attempt to get out of the crease, and in fact he held Provorov's stick keeping him from getting out of the way also.

Then they miss an obvious penalty on coots having his stick held lol. 

Not a doubt in my mind that the Flyers couldn't score a goal even if they were on a 5 on 0. Making Carey Price and now Varlamov look like a combo of Marty Brodeur and Patrick Roy. 

BS goal aside, Hart is locked in tonight. If the offense could get ANYTHING going he could steal this game.

Honestly not a ton of great shots by the flyers. They are shooting but from poor angles and the good angle shots get blocked.

Yep. Combo of the Isles being good defenders and just poor decisions in the zone.

I assume they are already going to lose this 1-0 on a bullcrap goal. Would be Flyers fashion. Even more frustrating the third goal the islanders scored in game 2 the guy was 100 percent off sides. Replay and pics showed it. Yet nhl just completely missed that 

May not make a difference, but I have to say I disagree with Ghost not playing. Niskanen has not been good at all this series, and I feel like the few games Ghost did play, he was solid to good.

Just not good enough.  

I switched over to nola pitching. He makes me happy lol 

Notice how when NY has control down below our net, their other fwds are setting up for 1 timers around the crease with their sticks on the ice. 

But when we have control below their net, our guys are jammed in the crease, jostling for position with their sticks nowhere near in place for shots.

I’ll reply this time since no one bit earlier.  
 

Ghost sucks 

Overall I don't disagree. However, he played decent the little chance he's had this playoff (4 games?). Meanwhile Niskanen has been pretty awful all through the playoffs.
