Gotta get it out of the zone when they have a chance – can’t give anybody all these second and third chances.

Ahhhh Roy gotta bury that.

I liked Vanek trying to subtly shove the goalie in the net there.

Good first period

Aside from the 0 goals and inability to deal with Philly’s forecheck.

Gotta go.

by Andy Boron on Mar 5, 2010 8:10 PM EST reply actions  

First period went by quick

Weird there haven’t been any penalties so far considering last time we played the Flyers there was a total of 65 PIM

by kitaman27 on Mar 5, 2010 8:11 PM EST reply actions  

went by reaaaal fast

But that runs the risk of Montador or Sekera playing 5 minutes a game at wing instead >.<
