Flyers mock Lightning 1-3-1 trap

              If you haven’t seen the Tampa Bay Lightning set up their neutral zone trap, here’s the just of it. They have 3 players sit on the centre ice red line with one defenceman in their zone, and one forward at the oppositions blue line, waiting for the opposing defence to break out.

The One in Which the Flyers Waste Lightning Fans Money

So, that happened. A 1-3-1 is what the Tampa Bay Lightning have been playing for, oh, about 2 years now. Guy Boucher put in the system and it’s worked pretty well for a team that doesn’t really have a netminder it can rely on with consistency. That’s besides the point here though. It’s 40 seconds into a 60 minute hockey game. The Flyers have decided that they will now take...

(Video) Watch Steve Downie Get His Clock Cleaned By Braydon Coburn

This brouhaha occurred during the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 2-1 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers, and believe you me, it’s a doozy. One relevant piece of information which makes the fight even more compelling: Braydon Coburn is 6’5″, 220 pounds, a full six inches taller and twenty pounds heavier than his fellow pugilist. This Steve [...]

Lightning's 1-3-1 Works Against Flyers; May Have to Change

The Flyers are now 0-3 on the season in games that reach overtime or a shootout, this time dropping to the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in overtime. This game, however, had a completely different feel from any other game that the Flyers have played this season. It was a well-thought, hard-fought chess match. It was a battle of two coaches that knew how to counter each other’s moves...

Jack Edwards References 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' in Attempt to Explain Flyers-Lightning Debacle

The Philadelphia Flyers and the Tampa Bay Lightning, or perhaps more appropriately Peter Laviollete and Guy Boucher, had quite a standoff on Wednesday night. The Flyers, apparently fed up with the Lightning's 1-3-1 trap defense decided to just hold the puck in their own zone in an attempt to force the Lightning forechecker to make a move. The result was some awkward hockey to...
