If you’re going to make a comment like this, at least tell me where my typo is.

I wish I could get that much net side space on a power play in men’s league.

what is up with the Refs and Martone?
Some kind of initiation where the Refs show him who’s boss?
Phantom penalties against the kid, nothing called on blatant penalties against him,
Refs shouting “Shut the F*ck up” in his face.

I did not expect them to run the table. Heck they can’t get 4 in a row but with that being said I think it is vital they win in Winnipeg and please stay out of the penalty box. If it becomes a special teams game it will be a disaster. The final 2 games? They are playing teams that will be fully engaged for the top seed. Its going to be tough.

Opportunity lost. The Flyers squandered a game that they maybe had a chance to win based solely on their 5 on 5 play which wasn’t too bad. What this game showed is that is where the Flyers strength lies, in 5 on 5. Special teams on either side is where the Flyers weaknesses are apparent. PK has joined the PP as a glaring deficiency for this team. Not only can they not score when up a man, they are now having trouble getting scored against when down a man. They need to use this game as a lesson in not to wage a special teams battle with any team going forward.
