kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Welp that shatters the Flyers confidence. Shutout. Flyers had a strong first period but Caps came after 1st intermission and laid that to rest. Edited April 15, 2016 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 Flyers played a great game but Holtby was great and the offensive power might be too much for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Massive 5 on 3 kill by Washington, couple of great saves from Holtby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) LOLLLLLLL at the goal by Chimera on Mason. That's playoff quality goaltending right there. By the end of the game Mason looked like he didn't care what happened anymore. Just gave up. Edited April 17, 2016 by chaps80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aethernum 276 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 I would like everyone to pause for a moment and contemplate a brief thought experiment. Imagine if this were Howard: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 Yeah that goal was horrid. Not as bad as any Howard has let in, but he's let in some stinkers. Philly and Detroit are both down 2-0, but Washington is a much better team than Tampa. Philly at least has a good excuse for not being able to compete, but Detroit really doesn't.

I'm just trying to imagine what the state of this board would be if that happened to Howard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 Haha I was thinking the same thing about Howard. Wings fans would riot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 Haha I was thinking the same thing about Howard. Wings fans would riotOnly the hardcore Mrazek supporters would do that. Everyone realistic understands, that a goalie also needs his defense to help him out. It is so comical the guy let in stinker after stinker and yet there were still all sorts of excuses for him, unreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd agree with you if there weren't so many people calling for Howard to be pulled. He hasn't been the problem.. Although mrazek does help the breakout so I guess I'm for giving him a chance.

Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 The Ghost Bear has been anonymous this series. Probably rookie playoff nerves, he looked a little shaky in game 1. Philly need him to take it 5 games or more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aethernum 276 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 I said from the beginning this would be a fast series for the Caps. The only question would be how many players they lose to Philly's boneheaded and dirty hits. Looks like that's panning out exactly as planned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 And Mason is not a good goalie on top of all said. Without superb goaltending Philly is overexposed. This will be over in 4 or 5 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 and their bonehead penalties Bad goal tending, bonehead penalties... So the flyers are losing because they're being the flyers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted April 20, 2016 And Mason is not a good goalie on top of all said. Without superb goaltending Philly is overexposed. This will be over in 4 or 5 games. Philly hasn't had a franchise goalie since Ron Hextall. They had Bobrovsky but traded him to Columbus where he became their franchise goalie and won a Vezina. When it comes to goalies they are beyond cursed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
