Nice job by Lenher to make himself as small in the net as possible in preparation for that shot...

As

[Tondas]

Folks on this board have been saying that Lehner is best when he doesn't fall into shots.  That was a good example there.  He has half way down before the puck got to him.

I have a feeling we need 5 goals to win this game.

I think this can be said of either team.

[Tondas]

Really need Sam to start doing something, anything.

[3putt]

They do have some solid looking young d men.

Eichel will be a bust if he doesn't develop the ability to sense when the moments are to make a move and cut to the net/dangle/etc. His first 2 years, people seemed to not fully realize what he had. Now they do, so he has to be able to sense when he has a step.

 

This season, he's always tried to make moves when he really didn't have an angle/opening, and has been stuffed by d-men. I hope he figures it out soon.

I had the Hello Larry clip ready. My bad.

His hands are about as hard as Rob Ray’s head...

[Stoner]

Weak clear by Jack, then he finished it off with a backhand heave.

I know Kane had to pick a corner, but you need to hit the net to score or get a rebound.

[Stoner]

I'll ask again, after seeing Kane blow snot on that towel. How do they keep the towels straight? Or does Chi Chi pick it up later and wipe his mouth on it?

[Cityo'Rasmii]

yum

[Stoner]

Eichel pulls a every-linemate-he-ever-had.

[WildCard]

Jack missed a wide open goal

[French Collection]

My snack now seems less appealing...

[Cityo'Rasmii]

where's my napkin

[Tondas]

Forgot Nolan Patrick was even on the Flyers until Marty mentioned his name,  He's been invisible thus far.

Has Bogosian somehow turned into our best Dman??? He's been solid lately

[Thorner]

We actually never score on breakaways or in-alone chances. Except Pouliot apparently.

It's turning into an entertaining game

He has looked good but maybe it's just the "Tallest Pygmy" syndrome.

It's always the injuries that are the biggest concern with him.

[SwampD]

That looked like a broomball game.
