I’m still hoping they use Mitts in a trade to acquire a top 4 D if they don’t get a UFA. Move him while he still has value.

Terrible that they couldn’t get one home win in three tries to reward the large crowds.

I’ll admit I didn’t think they had it in them but I was wrong. Even if they lose the series, I hope they at least give the home fans one last win to reward their support.

I’m guessing that if Prow is not back they’ll give Johnson his first game.

Like I said after the last game, this series is over. Last year it was Laval’s speed, this year it’s Hershey’s size and physicality. It was a nice run.

That huge logo on the field is distracting.

After game 1 Hershey adjusted their game and have shut down the Amerks offense. And their goalie is now dialed in.

It’s the old Flyers philosophy; if you keep committing infractions they won’t call everything, especially in the playoffs.

That game was too close. I expect the series will go 3 games.

A shame they couldn’t have a better effort with a sellout crowd. This series is over. Last year it was Laval’s speed, this year it’s Hershey’s size and physicality. It was a nice run.

Lost 2-0. Some good chances early but their goalie was sharp. Not a lot of chances after that.

I worry those heavy hitters on Hershey might go after him.

They won’t take it from him, he’d have to volunteer to give it up.

I was hoping he would retire so the team didn’t feel obligated to resign him, and open another spot for a young talent or veteran they brought in. It will be awkward if they have to sit the captain because his play has slipped.

It’s because you’re used to the NHL where there are standards for lighting and tv broadcasts. AHL arenas are not set up to optimize tv broadcasts. On Sabres live it was announced that MSG will televise game 3 from Rochester Saturday, with Don Stevens and Brian Duff.

Eichel might get his name on the Cup before McDavid.

The game ended at 1:54 a.m. ET.

They wouldn’t sit someone who’s been there for the playoffs for a rookie, unless they lose a couple and need a spark. But he could practice with them like Nadeau is.

Edmonton had bad goaltending.

I think Dallas has the advantage in goal.

Too bad for Seattle, but I think Dallas will be a tougher opponent for Vegas.

Goalie Joseph Woll has been assigned to the Marlies. 😬
