flyers just can't score on the open net. price is giving it up and they whiff....and now it's 3-1....seems like every bounce is going to the other team a lot this season

Oh this is getting brutal. Can't wait to see how far under the bus the Philly HFBoards throw Bryz after this.

Sheesh.. seems like that throw-the-puck-at-the-net-and-have-it-bounce-perfectly-to-a-teamates-stick play gets the flyers every game.

Bryz is playing fine. Not up to his contract, but decent. Which is all he should need to do.

Oh that doesn't matter. They expect Bryz to be Jesus and they rip him apart when he's anything less than that. It's fun to read.
 
hartnell strikes again, turned the puck over on an odd man rush then came back down the ice and threw a weak hit on a guy that was already being covered opening up space

hes beyond awful and what makes it worse is how much $ hes stealing from us

If Eller ever develops a scoring touch, I will have a permanent boner. 2 reak solid chances to score he hasn't converted tonight.

Amazing what a few goals does for confidence. They look like a whole other, much better, team right now.

Yeah I'm seeing synergy!

Yeah I don't think he's been bad, but in their defense, he does have one of the worst sv% among starting goaltenders in the NHL and has a huge contract.

I think Martin has finally found his lines. I really like the combos of Patches-Pleks-Gio, Cammy-DD-Cole and AK-Eller-Moen tonight. Cole's line is due for a goal.

We've gotten lucky this game, but that's what is was going to take to get out of this, now score another PP goal and finish this. Also helps we have wolverine on our team:

Bryz played awesome the 1st 2 or 3 games but has been average since then. In his defense, the D has been terrible in front of him all year long... Our team D is worse than its been in years, reminds me of NHL12 EASHL drop in games...

Pierre Gauthier says dr andrews & 3 different physio therapists and doctor pushed Andrei Markov to the limit and his knee is responding well

BrianWildeCTV BrianWilde
PG says: Markov was having 2 a day draining workouts in Florida. No structural damage. Strengthening muscle groups round knee.

@renhockey
Renaud P Lavoie
#canadiens: Pierre Gauthier on Markov:"he's been tested now. The knee responded very well."

ArponBasu Arpon Basu
I'm sure this was reported, but #Habs Gauthier also said Markov could be back on ice as early as next week

For two games and then out again for a few weeks/months.

Until that becomes a pattern, you can't say that with any kind of certainty. Fact: he had the injury, was rushed back too soon, got the injury again. Thats too small a sample to call the guy injury prone. Prior to the first round of the knee injury, he had never been injured. They didn't make the mistake of rushing him this time.

If the team wasn't bi-polar it would be better.

I didn't think they would be so harsh. Wow.

They really don't sound much worse than Fleury haters, though.

Oh, the Pens board does the same shit, it drives me insane. When it happens with a different fanbase it brings me joy though.

Last year when MAF was having a rough start? Oh my god, that place was unbearable. There are still a lot of guys who call for Staal to be traded constantly and make me want to pull my hair out.

Habs fans must be the most bi-polar in the NHL. Damn.
So going from being worried about the worst team start in 70 years and wanting the coach fired to being happy were winning and still wanting the coach to be fired is bi polar? Riiiigggghhhttttt.

I have never said fuck this squad, etc. And Cole is playing better.

They were fucking horrible in the first. Different team came out in the second. You would think Two-Face was our coach and not the Penguin!

.....and how exactly is this "bi-polar"?

Team goes 1-7, fans get upset for very obviously reasons. Team starts playing well this game, we are happy. That's called human nature. Its only one game though, and its not over yet. We need to find a way to close it out, and then start doing this consistently. But there are signs for optimism.

I'd LOVE to see you tap dancing around if the Pens came out of the gate 1-7. And, like us, at the first sign of life, you'd be back into planning the parade mode.

The key is to constantly stay like the last example.
