I decided to start a post were we can share the positives about Thursdays Flyers / Penguins game. Please lets get some POSITIVE energy going in this thread people!

Here are the good things I noticed about the game...

#1 It was CLOSE Lets face it, the penguins squeaked it out surprising everyone who thought it would be brutal.

#2 Marty B is back with a VENGEANCE ! His game and shootout performance was EPIC!

#3 There was a HUGE rally by the Fly Guys Lead by Gags, you gotta respect the comeback people incl. Gags physical comeback!

#4 Carle and Nodl showing some good progress

#5 Sbisa, Sbisa, Sbisa, The kid is a stick of DYNAMITE!

#6 Kimo's near game winning clanker off the VERY BOTTOM of the top post, SO FOCKING CLOSE O.M.G. !


Who is STOKED for Saturday's GAME? I know I am! Remember Rainbows and lollipops please, these guys deserve a pat on the back after Thursday's game!

The positive about that game?...

We beat them in the hockey portion of the game. Pittsburgh just happened to win the coin toss that decided the game.

I wouldn't say Marty is back at all. The first goal was his fault, Malkin's maybe wasn't, but Crosby's first was. He made a lot of nice saves, but he's just going to return to being himself. He has always been very streaky. He cannot be our goalie if we really want to win.

There's alot of positives from this game. We were down 3-0 and scored 4 unanswered goals in the one period, that is positive enough for me. Gagne showed alot of heart in that game, along with guys like Sbisa,Carle,Upshall,Carter,Richards..etc.. Richards lil deke at the end of the 3rd was beautiful, it woulda been great to take that lead back wit 1 second to play.. Richards had another beautiful move in the shoot out. Dany Sabby was awesome in the game for Pittsburgh though. Gotta give the Pens credit in this one but we played a **** of a game that we could have easily won. Remove Hartnells SO attempt from your mind and this was a really great game we played.

Amen!! I hate shootouts with a passion.

Agree,you took my words
If guys play like this against Canadiens then we're in for the **** of a game.Of course if they play like they did in the 2nd,we beat anyone really

2 shorthanded goals (by the same player no less) is pretty impressive if you ask me

although i was holding out for the shorthanded hat trick

Upshall impresses me more and more every game. He out-works everyone on the ice every shift he gets. I wish his attitude would rub off on his teammates.

Gagne looks like the guy who put in 47 and 41 in consecutive years.

yes!!!

goaltending is still the issue here tho

...

Positives:

Flyers can come back after shooting themselves in the foot earlier in the game
The mistakes they are making aren't huge mistakes, they are just miscues that need to be eliminated
First goal Marty should have stopped, the others were the fault of the defense not playing tight enough on guys like Crosby and Malkin. So to me, Marty does look better. He was a lot better in the shootout for a change.
Stevens finally showed some emotion behind the bench, I wish he would do that more. It obviously benefits the team.

I think the Flyers played a great game!

Goligoski?

haha so was i. i would have died if he pulled that one off!


SERIOUSLY. i love watching him play. he is by far my favorite player. he may not be the best, but he is defiantly nice to watch. so hard working and just seems like he puts his all into every game. he has a ton of heart and seems to love his job.

1. Sbisa played great. I'm amazed at how often he throws hits. Very impressive for a kid.
2. Carter being more aggressive in the defensive zone. Hammered Malkin. I loved that.
3. Team responding to Stevens time out
4. Birons shootout performance.

1. Shanny is coming soon
2. Stevens actually raised his voice(i think)
3. Kuks is on waivers
4. we have an explosive offense
5. gags is back
6. Shanny is coming soon(notice the repetition)

- Sbisa is the frickin man....did you see how he defended against Crosby? The kid is brilliant. He could very well be our resident defender, much like Desjardins was
- two shorthanded goals agains the Pens. I don't care if the Pens won, two shorthanded goals is pure embarrassment in my eyes and made me VERY happy
- the Flyers, for once, living by the words, "never say die"

1. Stevens' timeout meant something for once
2. Gagné's two shorties
3. Fleury got pulled

+1. I love watching him play.

the positives:.....the comeback, Gagne.....and our Faceoffs has improved and was good again in this game imho

Absolutley AGREE ! The TEAM did fantastic and credit is due to the TEAM. I am stoked for tonights game....if we all think POSITIVE , then POSITIVE things happen. GO FLYERS !

+2. I don't get the recent Upshall hate.
