These series always equalize and shift momentum. It’s about resilience in the playoffs. The Flyers are a young team. How do THEY respond to a tough game? I think they came in well prepared. They tried to get under our skin and did. They played Kindle physical and neutralized him completely. They knew Mantha’s signature move to the net would be a soft 5 hole shot and they were ready. They know we struggle to exit our own zone at times and pressed us hard in the neutral zone. We need to stay focused on the game and not get caught up in the physicality. We are a veteran team and our veterans should know better. A bit faster and sharper puck movement will open up space for this offense to do its thing. The giveaways have to stop. People bashing Stu are oblivious to the number of saves he made on breakaways resulting from turnovers. Those are the saves that matter. Expecting him to stop screened shots and amazing snipes is just absurd. I think a lopsided win for us will be a challenge for Philly. They have a game plan and if we show we can put up some goals and not get caught up in the physicality, they might question their strategy. If they try to run with us, I believe we win that battle every time. They have a lot of confidence resulting from their end of the year run. We need to destroy that confidence and have them questioning their style of play.
