we really need to stop taking penalties because our PK is atrocious right now. all 3 power plays consisted of the flyers just dancing around own zone at will

 

and wtf was keith doing there? maybe you should get a stick on that guy considering you're covering nobody else. this is kind of a big game.

 

Considering Philly has only 1 SOG in 3 PPs - and unfortunately that one shot contributed to their goal - but I'd say 1 SOG in 4.5 to 5 minutes of PP time for the Flyers is not "atrocious PKing".

 

perfect example of why SOG doesn't tell you anything

 

So you'd be alright with it being 3-1 Philly, as long as the 'Hawks looked better on the penalty kill, IYO?

 

I guess I just fail to see how 1 SOG in 5 minutes of PP time - that was only netted on the rebound by a surprised Hartnell that was sitting in front of the crease- makes a person so unhappy about Chicago's defensive efforts during PHI's power plays.

 

Granted, my hockey knowledge is lacking, but I thought the first two PK opps by the Blackhawks were very good. Not perfect by any means, but no shots in 4 minutes of PP time is doing OK.

 

Them missing the net or not making the right pass does not mean the Hawks PK was great. They had time and space and had opportunities. The PK has been poor all series.

 

Not gonna argue, as I have no knowledgeable base to stand from; but hey, if Leighton is gonna get as lucky as he has been (so far) on his home ice, I'll settle for some good luck going Niemi and Chicago's way by the Flyers not capitalizing correctly in favorable situations.

Played well, controlled the play again but took a couple terrible penalties. For those saying the NHL wants game 7, the second Pronger penalty that led to our goal was weak.

Ladd can't miss that.

 

He hasn't looked that good since his injury.

 

Agreed. He's giving it all, just not making much of an impact. Upon seeing the replay that one just slipped off the back of his stick as he went to shoot.

 

Still love this pace, but the longer it goes tied, the more likely Philly gets a lucky bounce.

Both teams are giving their all, but Philly has that extra "desperation" gear working in their favor.
