Did anyone see the Flyers with that 1-3-1 defense? Do you think it was a good move?

Hard to say. On one hand, it's a lame response by the Flyers ... but on the other, it not like a football game where you can just throw a deep pass past an overaggressive defense. The 1-3-1 is only a "trap" because of offsides and icing. It'll be interesting to see if the NHL develops any kind of position on it.
I agree, it is pretty lame for the Flyers to do that. It would be more interesting if they were ahead by one, instead of tied like they were.
Actually, I thought it was pretty funny. It was almost like kids on a playground. TB was being stubborn. They didn't wanna play unless Philly played into their "trap". What else was Philly supposed to do? Say ok, we give up, we're gonna jump in your trap? Instead they they played playground "keep away". Not the most mature way to handle things either way. I guess "play nice" isn't in the rule book of the NHL. At least they have the "timeout box".
I think it would have been a better call if the Flyers were leading in the third period, but not on the very first possesion of the game.
Also, we are about twenty games into the season. Thoughts on your team, or the league in general?
My Stars, although are somewhat fine with relationship of their record. Are on a three game losing streak * I'm not in a good mood about it *
Granted we had to play Pittsburgh and Detroit, but Flordia?
Not Tampa Bay , but The Flordia Panthers, a team you don't hear alot from.
