Yeah, these games really suck to watch when it's just them blocking shots for 70% of the game while getting a good roll on Ersson.

The only way we're getting fun nights is in a blowout loss it seems.

That was a gut check game, Boston is big and physical, playing at home, Flyers face it, are slightly below average size without enough speed to compensate but "they won't back down" and hung with the Bruins.

Ersson had his first starting goalie game, made the plays he had to make to win the game.

Sanheim - Risto were a legitimate first pair, and Risto and Seeler were outstanding on the PK.
Andrae is smooth but undersized, he'll need better anticipation to survive in the NHL.
Drysdale is scary, not sure he'll develop the instincts to avoid turnovers.

Brink earned himself some PT off this game, this is why Torts was pushing him, if he plays like this against a team as physical as the Bruins, he can do this on a regular basis. The offense is the easy part, but he played in traffic and didn't get run over.

Michkov's worst game as a Flyer, while TK and Couts continue to play well, Michkov was fumbling the puck on a regular basis, though almost scored on a "Michigan" and Torts didn't even raise an eyebrow. Torts had Panarin, he knows budding superstars have different rules.

Tippett is actually a pretty good passer, but Frost is deep into a funk. Frost seems to struggle against tight checking teams.

Farabee was much better tonight, maybe he's coming around.
