Flyers @ Leafs - Mar. 8th, 7:00pm - CBC, SN 590

[Derk]

Decent period. Could have easily had more, but Philly spent some time in the Leaf zone too.

 

[ZBBM]

Well, hard to complain with a 2-0 lead but jeez I wish we'd quit with the giveaways in our own end.

 

[L K]

I don't like that goaltender interference call.  Only for the fact that if that puck goes in, they likely just waive off the goal and do nothing.  But because the Flyers didn't score, they call a penalty.

Except the whistle went before the shot.

More of an 'in general' rather than specific to that play.  There are a lot of goaltender interference plays very similar to that that where a goal goes in and nothing happens.  I think it should be a penalty.  The goalie is in the blue paint and he's getting interfered with.  I just don't like it because it's called inconsistently.

Good even up call.

I think it's a pretty tough call to call consistently without calling just a ton of penalties. I agree though. It's a call I'd like to see made more often.

Well, you found a way. I, for one, never lost faith in you.

 

[ZBBM]

Good lord, I just agreed with Don.

You have to work hard at your craft.  This counts toward my 10,000 hours of practice.

Man, watching that Gardiner replay it's amazing how none of Flyers even thought about rushing him when he had the puck. Three guys tried to block it like a free-kick in soccer.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Good lord, I just agreed with Don.

About Stamkos needing somebody to hug him, or that Luongo shouldn't have a sense of humour?

 

[Derk]

Sounds like Hughson wants Philly to score some goals.

 

[L K]

Another big rebound and a huge save by Mason on Kessel.

Luongo's tweet should have been aimed at Gillis and/or Torts, not the team.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

JVR tries that flip play again. Love it.

"And Fraser McLaren misses the open net."

 

[Arn]

"Frazer McLaren couldn't hit the open net"

There's a "hit" joke in there somewhere

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Luongo's tweet should have been aimed at Gillis and/or Torts, not the team.

Have you not read any of his other tweets? He was obviously kidding. Pokes fun at anything and everything. He wasn't being vindictive or aiming hate towards anybody.

 

[L K]

"And Fraser McLaren misses the open net."

From 5 feet out.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Jay McClement beat Schenn wide.

 

[Derk]

Cover the puck... whackwhackwhackwhack... in the net.

That play is a penalty in the Olympics.
