Big Ballsy win last night. They didn't fold when the Phlyers took the lead.
And once again a bounce back win after a loss.

And when I say a big ballsy win, I mean this size

Spence had been playing well for a while, but his last two games were dog poo.
Nonsense, he was outstanding last night, especially in transition.

Honestly, I think some of you guys wait for Jim Fox to say something before you notice it. For stat watchers, he has 5 points and is a +6 in the 7 games this month. It's been a month since he had a minus game. He has been playing very well ever since Moverare was recalled.

I was wondering if his turnaround matches up with Moverares call up. Its been a solid pair. Curious to see what they do when Doughty is back.

Spence's issue is like Muzzin's when he first started coming around--his messups are typically very visible and/or catastrophic so it's easy to latch onto his mistakes. He does stuff the rest of the time that's so important and useful and that does fortunately even show up in the metrics.

It is. It's nearly 1-to-1. Great stabilizing factor.

Last night Spence messed up on the PP. Quick shot or dump it in. Nope, held onto puck at the end of the PP & coughed it up for a goal.

He had a couple big mistakes against Pittsburgh. Spence is making a few mistakes a game that lead to goals or very good chances for the other team. Can't have that from a 3rd pair defender.

National broadcasters usually are clueless because they don't follow the individual teams closely.

I like PK because he has a personality. He did say a lot of silly things though.

Levy is way better than Buccigross.

My favorite part is when he did the in game interview with Hiller and was looking for praise from Levy for his question. Levy's like "yeah, the question was good but you answered it for him which I've told you not to do a thousand times off the air". LOL!

Every defenseman is going to make a dumb mistake now and again, even hall-of-famers.
Spence doesn’t do enough offensively for his big defensive gaffes which seem very frequently. I do think it’s too early though to come down on him.

Meanwhile , back on ESPN+, PK is still talking about Ed Snieder and Bobby Clarke and how the Flyers out played the Kings all night, yet lost 7-3, calling the Flyers 3rd period melt down just an unfortunate series of plays...Steve Levy went home the moment the broadcast ended.

...to be continued
