Why don't we just tackle the goalie on every attack, seemed to work for them.

[MichiganCardinal]

Okay they waved it off, I'll tone down the sarcasm.

Those goals should never count. They too often do though. 

[lordstanley]

Flyers have tied it up against the Islanders, approaching midway through the 2nd. 

[lordstanley]

I knew that Glendening is with the Lightning, didn’t realize Jeff Blashill is.

Was it called a goal on the ice?

[slothfacekilla]

They're showing Blashill far too much, can't stand seeing him.

[MichiganCardinal]

Terrible terrible terrible.

I think not. Wasn’t immediately clear what call on ice was but they informed broadcast crew during the review. 

[lordstanley]

Bolts leave no doubt. How can you  give up repeat 2 on 1 during a “powerplay”

I'm watching on mute. Never saw the goal signaled but couldn't figure out why the score was listed as 1-1.

No doubt about the next one though.

Raymond with nifty moves. Rasmussen couldn’t convert.

ras has been a huge disappointment this year.  not physical enough.

Yup  - He's never been a good enough skater to be able to use his size. He used to get knocked down a lot. He's gotten to where he can stay up better but he still doesn't have enough balance/strength on this skates to use his size.

for a brief moment last year you could see it.  he was being physical and getting to the corners and the front of the net, hitting people.

then this year there's been nothing.  its puzzling.

Sometimes maybe you just have to question stuff at what I'd call the 'stupid' level. Has Lalonde either overworked or under-trained this team?  They just seem to be run down compared to the game they were playing in January.

Tigers are tied heading to extra innings.

Wings are tied in a playoff chase.

And the local BWWs has women's college basketball on audio.

[lordstanley]

No way, Philly ties it with 9 seconds to go. 

[MichiganCardinal]

there it is!

[lordstanley]

Wings lead! Tigers lead!

70 seconds. Easy. Right?

[MichiganCardinal]

LETS GO

[MichiganCardinal]

Now if Javy Baez gets an RBI I'll know I'm dreaming.

[buddha]

huge.

[lordstanley]

Given strength of opponents, I was hoping for a modest 5 out of 10 points on this road trip. 4 points isn’t a killer, considering how it started and given Philly’s slump
