@dalter: Mark Stone’s reaction to Thatcher Demko is my reaction to everything in 2020. https://twitter.com/dalter/status/1302089788770656261/video/1

worthless stat department 

@BoopStats: The Flyers are 4-2 all-time on Kentucky Derby Day, including this -- https://twitter.com/BoopStats/status/1301720190858727424/photo/1

guilty as charged

@SWhyno: Alain Vigneault: "Three series went to a Game 7. A lot of people questions if players would want to play at this time of the year, would want to be here. Look at what you're getting. Look at the hockey you're getting."

[Ghost Rider 6,289]

If I am Demko, I am royally pissed.  He played out of his mind last night, yet they lost cause the rest of the team didn't look like they gave two you-know-whats about the game.  They even got a 5-minute power play thanks to a really dirty hit by Reaves and still couldn't muster a thing. Pathetic effort by the whole team, Demko aside.

Vegas/Dallas ought to be really fun to watch.

Was it lack of effort, or the fact that Vegas has an absolute monster of a lineup compared to Vancouver having like five good skaters total? The Canucks got boat raced the entire series, not just last night.

Vegas was the better team, yes, but even on the 5-minute PP, the Canucks looked hapless.  NBC interviewed one of the Canucks in between the 2nd and 3rd periods and he looked totally defeated (game was still 0-0).

Vegas didn't give them anything. Series was a mismatch to begin with. Vancouver deserves props for taking them to 7, even though it took Demko standing on his head to do so.

Let's go Islanders!

[Capella 30,374]

Think I’m rooting for Philly. Seems like islanders are a better team.

At the risk of jinxing I think the bolts beat either in 5 or 6

In before "Flyers aren't trying."

[Osaurus 9,057]

Gritty is not motivated 

[Capella 30,374]

Why aren’t they showing flyers highlights 

[belljr 11,001]

Welp

[JaxBill 6,833]

So what time does the game start?

[Getzlaf15 10,902]

I hope @modogg is ok

[JaxBill 6,833]

this is fine

Maybe the refs are calling a good game tonight.  

[Osaurus 9,057]

6 minutes of penalties for the Flyers in quick succession. Maybe they’re thinking they play better short-handed?

[Getzlaf15 10,902]

[Getzlaf15 10,902]

Maybe they aren't trying

[JaxBill 6,833]

game.

Congrats Isles.

going out with a whimper

pretty gross. Not sure i have seen a team so flat in a 7th game of a series ever. I mean it is Thomas F'n Griese in goal, just embarrassing. 

What i don't get though is why the Islanders are trying so hard. everybody knows they are likely getting swept. they are like some annoying dweeb in school, who keeps trying so hard though he sucks. Just give it up old heads, and go away 

[modogg 4,756]

yeah AV, give us more Nate Thompson. that should get them back in this game

[Ghost Rider 6,289]

Man, if this were a boxing match, the Flyers corner would have thrown in the towel already. The Islanders are outplaying them in every way.

@brad_keffer: Sure would like it if the Flyers had Voracek on the ice more than Thompson in a game 7 where they're losing 3-0.

might have been that killing the penalties thing

Haven’t they outplayed them most of the series?  Serious question as I haven’t really watched much of it.

[modogg 4,756]

feels weird going 4 minutes without a penalty on the Flyers. think Laughton felt the same thing

[JaxBill 6,833]

they should just decline the pp.

[modogg 4,756]

i think if i feel for someone it might be Carey Price,. Watching this joke of a team get shut out by a scrub like Griese has to just be maddening

Bob Griese?

[Capella 30,374]

Well the Flyers got some good exercise I guess 

[JaxBill 6,833]

Congrats to the Isles but that was one of the worst Game 7 no shows.

i don't know why the Flyers even took the ice tonight. Outside 2-3 guys, it honestly looks like they don't want to be there at all. Good times when they can barely get the puck in NYI zone with 6 men on the ice

[caustic 3,907]

Bring on the Bolts!

They did a good job of trying to have more on the ice than the Islanders

[JaxBill 6,833]

@charlieo_conn: Asked AV about the power play going 0-for-the-series, and why creative plays seemed so sporadic for the Flyers in the bubble. Vigneault deferred, said it's a tough question and wants to reflect on it a bit more before answering.

@charlieo_conn: Couturier: Said it was a sprained MCL, same as in 2018.

@lukefoxjukebox: Very cool. Barry Trotz commends Oskar Lindblom before he answers a question post-game.

[Aaron Rudnicki 9,022]

going to keep looking for some Flyers highlights

I've never seen a team get so utterly dominated in a game 7 before. Islanders were the better team the whole series. This was over in 4 or 5 without Hart.
