Reactions to that hit by Ritchie remind me what a dinosaur I am. Definitely going to tell my son about "back my day". 🙂

I hear you, but ..late, didn't have the puck, from behind, into the boards....checks all the boxes.

Wow. Just stated watching the Bolts starting up right where they finished off last game. Bruins are in quite a hole. 

[Ghost Rider 6,217]

Doc should tell his fellow announcers to stop sounding so bummed out.  They sound distraught that Boston is losing like this.

It’s over 

 

Tuukka leaving was the death knell. They may have made it past the Lightning if they’d prevailed in game 2, but they were never going to win the cup with halak 

[JaxBill 6,756]

Bruins couldn't get puck in deep to pull goalie. Man.

backbreaker

horrendous. started watching about halfway in the 2nd and the Flyers are playing like they are on penalty kill for 8:30 of the last 10 minutes

[JaxBill 6,756]

Flyers are getting badly outplayed but those are two bull#### slasing calls when you haven't called jack #### the rest of the mother####ing game

I agree.  They haven't called #### all game but call those.   Then ignore an islanders foul later.   We still deserve to lose but that crap doesn't help

[JaxBill 6,756]

kudos to Varlamov and the Islanders. This is only 2-1 but this feels like tbe series is over

[JaxBill 6,756]

@RGilbertSOP: Once again, the Flyers' best players need to be their best players. Period.

That’s the way every playoff loss feels though.

2nd period was atrocious, but they seemed to be better in the 3rd. I do love AV pulling the goalie with 4 minutes left on the power play to try and get something to happen. Just can't figure out why they look so flat sometimes.

[caustic 3,736]

Vegas had a lot of good looks this period, not being able to convert any of them is pretty rough.

[Getzlaf15 10,811]

LOL at Reaves complaining  about his penalty

True.  It's just demoralizing the way the Flyers were the better team for the first 10 minutes and then either decided to coast or the Isles woke up. And the fact that your top line has played like garbage since they started back doesn't give you a lot of hope.

[Ghost Rider 6,217]

Three games today and the first one doesn't start till 5 pm CST?  I love this sport, but my goodness the schedule makers for this league are such dopes.

[=Smackdown= 711]

Is Giroux playing hurt? @8 mil a year the dude is invisible.

Also - the Flyers have way too many gingers. Entire team looks like Tormund from GOT.

Haven't lost 2 In a row since a January? Hoping that changes tonight.

I don’t think there is really any chance at all. One rumor said he left the bubble (unsure of its validity) and some other reporter said that type of injury takes a full year to recover from. 

[JaxBill 6,756]

holy ####

@jasonmyrt: Lindblom dressed for warmups and ready to take the ice https://twitter.com/jasonmyrt/status/1300216607323631618/photo/1

[JaxBill 6,756]

Flyers / Isles going with Elliott and Greiss in net.

[JaxBill 6,756]

@bade_woggs: Official Roster Report has Lindblom OUT of lineup for Flyers.

Still amazing to see him on the ice.

 

[JaxBill 6,756]

@AntSanPhilly: If the Flyers were the Canadiens, they'd have that Clutterbuck hit in super slow mo, with the Titanic music as an underscore, playing in Times Square tomorrow morning.

[JaxBill 6,756]

At least when the Flyers are on the PK, there's a somewhat valid reason for multiple failed clears and tbe Isles cycling the puck for 90 seconds. 

[JaxBill 6,756]

Doctor, there's a pulse,  but it's faint.

[JaxBill 6,756]

@BroadStHockey: There's one! Couturier ties the game. https://twitter.com/BroadStHockey/status/1300247841529618432/photo/1

 

[Bill Brasky 3,444]

Philly really flipped the switch after their goal.  Greiss standing tall

[Getzlaf15 10,811]

There's a trade that paid of well.

[Bill Brasky 3,444]

Pageau, always playoff clutch

[Getzlaf15 10,811]

The Isle

[modogg 4,708]

Well, would have been a fun  entertaining series. Instead NHL is setting up for a boring series where Lightning crush Islanders in 5

A God send.

Isles take a 3-1 series lead and Trotz post game says it’s the worst game they’ve played so far this playoff.

Words from Kevin Millar, on a day they traded Kevin Pillar.

(I have no idea what that means, but it must be something.)

[falguy 1,200]

The shift by Point about 1 minute into the second is just spectacular.  

 

[E Street Brat 1,582]

Palat for Conn Smythe.

good team...  Bs up against it. Game 1 feels like a long time ago
