I like moving Tippett up to play with Frost/Matvei, it gives them some size and nastiness, someone to dig in corners, someone to create space.

Konecny and Luchanko should work well together.

[BelmontShore]

Michkov is special.

What a sniper.

1st goal of his career followed by a laser one timer for his 2nd.

[BelmontShore]

Blame Tippett for the Oilers 1st goal but make no mistake, the Oilers came out for the 2nd period pissed and on fire. Ice has been totally tilted their way.

2-2.

Laughton missing that 2-1 shorthanded goal was a turning point.

[BelmontShore]

Games like this reveal the Flyers still don't have the overall skill level of a team like Edmonton. That said, the lack of awareness and effort cost the Flyers 3 goals and lost the game. Tippett not skating cost them the tying goal. Sanheim not staying disciplined and playing his side let the 3rd goal go in. Not hustling back during OT cost them the game winner. It was a 3 on 1 when there are only 3 players on the ice, no other Flyer was even in the picture when the goal was scored.
