Ugh. Just bring on the sloth 😒
They’d better figure it out. Way too many goals against. Too many early holes. Dumb penalties and too little too late pushes. 18 goals against in 3 games. That’s abhorrent
Tampa’s PP won them the game. Can’t take penalties. That’s it. That’s the difference. Outplayed them 5on5
Sigh. Big sighs
Just a reminder of how far away we really are despite how well they have played this season.
Went down 3-0, but stayed in it. Happens
We’re still winning more than losing. But losing sucks. Sorry guys
Fuck me again.
When your season’s success has been due to defense and goaltending and you’re letting in 5 plus goals a game, you no longer have success – some guy
Tampa Bay is too quick on the skates to pull Ersson when we’ve been turning it over like we were. Really missing the speed and accuracy of OT
Gotta get to the root of this…which one of you just started watching the games starting from the avs?
The team that comes back but never finishes the comeback lol
Don’t let the scores fool you.
This was much closer than the Sens game.
I feel good about their trip to Detroit.
Basically the Avs game repeated.
Outplayed them for most of the game, couldn’t hold down their superstars on the power play. GG.
I have no panic with the showings against the Avs and the Bolts. We’re skating right with the best of the best. We have some learning still to do, but this is a good team.
we turning in to a pumpkin? I still believe
Gonna put this out here, obviously we gotta clean up the defense and penalties but I’m not worried about wins moving forward. They put hustle almost every team they lose to and their fate is in their hands with the defense playing better and cleaning up penalties. I’m confident Torts will help steer the ship.
3 games in a row M. T. Net .000 SV%. Dudes got to go.
Drysdale and Ersson carried otherwise the score differential would be a lot worse
Last time we lost 3 in a row we won the next 5…
Trying to think positively with all the rough news today, I ordered my first jersey a week or so ago and picked Ersson, and now he’ll almost certainly be starting when I wear it to see them against the penguins on the 25th.
Our lack of top tier talent was shown in full here…
Tough one. Bit of a wake up call for this young team after that 5 game win streak, gotta like how we fought to come back against the Avs and Lightning though, two really tough teams
That’s a little bit rough, they keep coming back
Ers got the Carter Hart treatment tonight. Kills the stats of a good goalie
Torts basically just said Tampa Bay stinks but they have a good pp 😆
Gotta keep reminding myself it’s a rebuild year, and their success so far is simply gravy. I’ve been very impressed and very disappointed in this team. I’ll be extremely curious to see what they do at the trade deadline
Kucherov, MacKinnon, and McDavid all with insane games against us leading to losses. Are we just victims of catching these guys at the wrong time or is it too much to ask for us to give up fewer than 4 points per game to the generational talents of the NHL whenever we play them?
Love another team getting a hat trick on us from an empty netter, twice in one week. Don’t know what that means but it’s weird
Aww Almore is a little sicky 🤧
NBC camera man has been drinking with this shot on Sam. … the cameraman is just like us 🥹
I hate tampa bay
Cam is so upset with himself 🥺
remember when pulling the goalie was only ever for like the very last 60 seconds of a game
Well the positives:
Frost continues to look great which bodes very well long term. Hes looking more and more like a bona fide 2C which is extremely key going forward. Just needs to stop starting the season so poor.
Drysdale 1st goal
Farabee is a stud
Atkinson is back
But no Tippett and TK not playing at his best leaves a lot to be desired offensively. Completely lacks that high end game breaking ability if TK or Tippett arent clicking.
I wish Couturier would have more offensive killer instinct like earlier in career. The guy was a top line scorer and elite 5v5 scorer in his day. He would routinely score one timers on the PP and have nice snipes. Not sure if he has a snipe all season.
Aww man I missed Drysdale’s goal
Who’s ready for something to direct anger at. This all started after the epic sax guy meme came out.
Too much firepower for the Bolts. Really shows what elite talent can do
Gotta bounce back Thurs to prevent potential 5-game slide into the break (ASG + bye week, off from 1/28 until 2/6 @ FLA). This stretch of 4 straight vs Atlantic is rough, but nothing compared to the 7-game stretch in mid-March from @ FLA til @ NYR)
[Schedule](https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/PHI/2024_games.html)
Really good thing they’ve banked points and built good systems + incredible buy-in. Remaining schedule is tough, with only 2 “easy wins” in 16 remaining between now and Trade Deadline (Fri 3/8)
​
>**34 remaining games**
>
>**4** back-to-backs (including vs NYR then @ PIT)
>
>Only “non-playoff-competitive” opponents post-TDL: SJS, @ MTL, CHI, @ BUF + @ CBJ (B2B), @ MTL
>
>**7** vs West (2 vs CHI, SJS, STL all “easy wins”; only Away western game is @ CHI)

>**27** vs East
>
>**11** vs Metro
>
>**16** vs Atlantic
(3 vs TOR, 3 vs FL, 2 vs BOS, 2 vs TB, 2 vs MTL, 1 vs DET, 1 vs OTT)
Best of 7, we best Tampa
I usually get to go to maybe one game a year… too bad it was this one. Let’s hope they can stop the skid.
Gotta vent real quick too, we were in really nice seats and these kids right behind us were the most irritating people I’ve ever sat by, like worse than the drunk college students at Phillies games. 9-11 year old boys, no parental supervision, would not shut the hell up the entire game. They even made fun of the mites on ice. One of them was complaining he’d rather be home playing fortnight. Like do you have any idea how much those fucking seats cost kid? Okay sorry for the rant guys.
don’t worry guys, i will never get my dog groomed while the flyers play ever again :/
