  • Real title should be "Flyers throwing a hissyfit because they can't overcome opposing team's style of play."

  • I want to see a team attempt the flying V. I think it would work

  • @goathead901 the canucks did it a few times,,, the naslund. morrisson.bertuzzi line...

  • why isn't this a penelty on Philidelphia

  • @shawnisabeast Because they didnt do anything. Literally.

  • @shawnisabeast Why should it be a penalty?  No rule against not moving the puck. Tampa shoulda forechecked, they were just making a point.

  • @Hexinvir there actually is a rule saying the puck has to be moved up ice you cant just hold it there thats y there was a whistle

  • @shawnisabeast why it should a penalty against philadelphia?

  • Ref shouldn't have whistled,who cares if nothing happens it's the Bolts who need to go out there and get that puck.

  • @alucardXX2009 it does until this happens..

  • nothing wrong with this, good job flyers!

  • @MrSasaki43 so you want to watch them stand there every time they have the puck in the defensive zone? fucking dumbass

  • TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • My team used this today, it's actually hilarious standing around in the neutral zone while the other teams' defencemen just stand in their end with the puck wondering what the fuck is going on

  • Its a defensive trap that makes the game boring to watch.... Offense makes the game exciting and the lightning are playing with FOUR men back..... that type of defense makes the game boring to watch. Philly was making a good statement. btw i hate philly, Lindros was a prick

  • funny how they "mock" it but they lost in both meetings vs the lightning so far.

  • thank god that happened.

  • nothing wrong with what the flyers did. if its not illegal is ok

  • hahahah this clip made me laugh

  • By mocking do you mean they sat in the corner and pouted like a 5 year old instead of actually trying to advance the puck?

  • @TenaciousE101 pretty much lol

    

  • Boucher is next in line to be fired 12/26/11

  • The trap that the Devils used is fine by me, because the Devils actually forechecked, this nonsense Tampa does is just boring, and is a waste of guys like Stamkos who should be forechecking and shooting.

  • Problem now...Faceoff in their end..

  • The trap has no place in hockey. Props to Philly for mocking this boring system. It was stupid when New Jersey did it, and its stupid now. If you enjoy the trap, go watch soccer that's probably the game for you.

  • you know when you play goldeneye 1-on-1 with the golden gun and then you just pick a corner and wait for your opponent to just come into the screen? you can't win if he just ignores you.

  • is it not the flyer's duty, when they have posession, to try to enter the zone?

  • @dougransley They're not losing, they are not obligated to do that. It makes more sense to try to force them out of their little trap and move from their than just skating into it herpdederp.

  • @jquiets no im pretty sure theres a rule saying the team with possession has to attempt to advance the puck

  • @GraydenKC Pretty sure there isn't.

  • Tampa aren't even in a playoff spot, so obviously it isn't working for them. Let the skill players like St. Louis and Lecavalier do their thing instead of putting the crowd to sleep.

  • I hated when the Devils pulled this shit all those years ago.

  • I like it. They shouldn't blow the puck dead either. 1-3-1 is a viable strategy, waiting for a mistake, so why not wait that out yourself?

    As long as you do it in front of the other team's fans. Let them be bored to tears.

  • fucking pussies

  • @yazzy613 if the flyers are fucking around in their zone, you don't shit and fucking watch them you take advantage and try to score.

  • Why should the flyers move the puck. Tampa executed the 1-3-1 so well they were left with no play, why should they give the puck away simply to make it more interesting. The 1-3-1 works, and the end result is boring hockey, thats all there is to it.

  • Oops I spelt sport's wrong

  • MikeyNike81 one hockey is one of the most popular spotr's and you spelt hockey wrong :-)

  • no wonder hokeys the least popular sport

  • The best troll in hockey.

  • This just like the Pistons-Spurs finals. boring as hell with both teams being very defensive minded

  • The NHL needs to look at putting this in the rulebook after the season.

  • @AEMoreira81 I hope not. This strategy has been around for years, and now they are meaking it big deal.

  • If the flyers stop moving it's tampas job to get them to move.

  • @theapocilip how does that make sense? it's Philly's job to score on Tampa, and it's Tampa's job to stop them from scoring; the 1-3-1 trap is a pretty effective way to stop a team from scoring

  • You can complain about Tampa doing this all you like, but why were Philly just sitting doing nothing? Remarkable.

  • @walonsubi I agree, its should actually be a delay of game

  • why with all that offensive talent are they playing such a boring defensive system. But the flyers did the right thing nothing wrong with it.

  • ... and in the end Tampa won the game, who's laughing at the end? Surely not the flyers!

  • @crawd127 the flyers won you jackass

  • @ihatefatherjudge before calling me jackass, I suggest you to check the score at nhl website for the November 9th game... TB 2, Flyers 1. Who won?

    lol

  • @crawd127 Flyers 5 Lightnng 2. Flyers top of the Eastern Conference. Lightning lose 3-7-0 in there last 10 games. I feel bad that St. Louis Lecavalier and Stamkos have to play in that system. It's an insult to their talent. Fail.

  • @thecitythatreads But that isn't the game where this video comes from. lol

  • @crawd127 hahaha yeah i literally realized that like 10 minutes after i wrote it... i decided not to delete my comment because as though i deserved whatever reply was coming because i'm a dumbass, have a good day haha

  • @ihatefatherjudge No harms done! :) Have a nice day! :)

  • @crawd127 flyers dude

  • Watching this is completely different than hearing about it. How can you fault the Flyers? A co-worker of mine is a Lightning fan and called the Flyers pussy's for not attacking. Okay fine, so their pussy's, what does that make the Lightning? So the Flyers don't want to attack, well come get the puck? The 1-3-1 may work and Tampa's coach may get paid to win, but I"m sorry, it's dumb, boring and should be taken out. What a terrible way to coach. It's not like tampa is winning SC's with it.

  • I think every hockey team should do this to tampa, that system makes for boring hockey and if everyone did that the sport would be dead. It's not like it is genius and only they can do it. It's just a matter of having no shame and cheating your fans of a exciting game.

  • The Flyers should have been whistled for delay of game...they are making a mockery of the sport!

  • It's not like Tampa is undefeated. Play the game and you will score on Tampa.

  • i hope everyone fuckin hates tb for this...dustiest squad 

  • I'm a lightning fan , and i thought it was awesome.. Tampa has so much speed and stickhandling on the front end , two lines deep.. Why the eff should we be playing a 1-3-1. It is boring to watch .. Let the guys skate ..wide ass open.. We wouldnt be doing any worse at this point..

  • Not a Flyers fan at all, but that was fucking hilarious.

  • Bottom line: This whole league exists because of the fans. I am as far from a Flopper fan as possible, but they did a good thing here. Let's see how the people who pay ALL the salaries of this league react if/when other teams try this, and they will! Talk about Occupy Wall St.. Fans will be occupying arenas soon if their team just sits there and doesn't forecheck to get the puck. Cheap boring bulls***...

  • Why blow the whistle? If I was the official I would say, "let them stand there, who cares?"  Let the fans BOO until the lightning decide to play.

  • Penquins seem to be doing good so far...

  • at least no one got hurt

  • In the end its 5 on 5, 5x 1on1's, if a philly player cant shake a tampa player to get a pass then they shouldnt be playing.... if the 1-3-1 was perfect everyone would be using it....

  • @FerrarisRock It's not "5 on 5, 5x 1 on 1's." Nobody would risk playing that offensive of a game. You keep 2 on defense no matter what. The other 3 will either attack or drop back depending on the situation; where the puck is, the score, the other team's style of play. There are no 1 on 1's. It would be a much higher scoring sport if it was.

  • no one want to see nothing happen in hockey. THE FANS PAID BIG MONEY TO SEE HOCKEY NOT SOME STUPID STANDSTILL

  • @tulor007 Please go kill yourself along your inbred fucks you call your family

  • Nobody should tell a team how they should play hockey. But being the home team, Tampa Bay should at least give something to their fans, not some boring hockey. I don't see much of a problem for them playing like this at away games.

  • nice bug =) this is what we call "local minimum"

  • They should be trying to get a goal. Why hold the puck? If the defense wants to play a certain way so be it. It should be the team's goal to get a goal not sit there on their butt and do nothing. They mocked themselves by showing everyone they have no motivation to win by attempting to SCORE! lol That is like in football saying, I am going to sit here with the ball and not score if no one is going to come after me. Kinda not rational in my opinion.

  • Lol i don't get what they did that for?.. anyone care to explain

  • ref shouldn't blow it dead and they shouldn't make a new rule. if you dont go for the puck why should the team with the puck have to do anything

  • @EPSchaedler Delay of game!

  • @CamericaUSA if the other team has the puck its your job to go get it, if you don't too bad for you. they should be allowed to do whatever they want until you pressure them.

  • @EPSchaedler Pussy!

  • @CamericaUSA really? we're talking about hockey and i want to be agressive and take the offensive, so im the pussy? how bout you go out and get a dick and then we can talk

  • @EPSchaedler Delay of Game all the way, fine you know what then? Misewell make this 80s hockey then

  • @CamericaUSA shouldn't be delay of game. if you don't show any interest in the puck, the other team shouldn't have to do anything with it. GO FLYERS

  • @EPSchaedler Go Wings Go:)

  • I hate the flyers but I'm glad pronger held the puck here. If there is no forecheck than they don't have to move the puck. The 1-3-1 is bullshit and slows down the game, hockey doesn't need it

  • Hockey is a joke

  • @tulor007 redneck, why dont you go shoot some more gaters.

  • this is what happens when an unstopable force meets an immovable object!

  • CRYERS, as usual

  • How are the Flyers chickenshit when Tampa won't even try to forecheck them?

  • the flyers are to blame. bolts can sit back all they want.

  • @hockeymurph34 The flyers are to blame for what? You say Tampa can sit back all they want. Of course they can. Are you saying the flyers can't sit back if they want? LOL.

  • The flyers are the biggest retards in the nhl

    the flyer player look like he had a stroke

  • flyers were chickenshit or they would have tried to get out of their zone, they had the same number of players on the ice as the lightning.

    i can see the whining will never leave philly, it almost seems like clarke is still there.

  • Strange that the Blues could overcome the trap after Philly couldn't. It may be boring, it may be a sissy way to defend but seriously, the offense has to overcome defensive obstacles and find a way to win. Simply put, that's hockey.

  • Why did they do this? I don't get it... Don't take me bad, I just don't know a lot about hockey.

  • @Lordoftheflies234 The 1-3-1 trap is a defensive system that basically eliminates 99% of possible plays for the opposition and makes the hockey game very boring and very hard for the non-trapping team to do anything.

    Although I don't mind it for a team late in a game defending a lead to see it in the first 60 seconds of a game is disgusting.

    It's bad hockey that allows a team to stop a skilled offense without using much or any real effort or skill themselves.

    Unsportsmanlike conduct to me.

  • @Masta420 Shut the hell up, the lightning are missing players and you do what you can to win games, Flyers can easily break the 1-3-1 and dump it in and then pull a 1-3-1 of their own if they don't get the puck, what they did was classless, and tampa should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want.

  • @Masta420 The Devils used to do this right?

  • You gotta score first on a pussy team like TB, it's a lock, and why in the fuck is there hockey in Florida?

  • laviolette to ref: "what the fuck was that?"

  • IT'S A TRAP!!!

  • play shouldn't have been whistled dead.

  • TB should have just stacked all their players in front of the net and waited until the end of the game.

  • that's pathetic their payed to play the game, anyone can stand there with the puck

  • obiously the ref's didn't know what to do. Tamps should at least done somthing, its like they were trained for and they just thought it was going to go as they planned.

    

  • Generally not a fan of Philly, but good for them for doin this! Pretty ballsy

  • @thereal3d1997 puck not in motion for 30 sec :D

  • Flyers have possession, Flyers should attack the net. It doesnt matter what the other team is doing

  • @ThaHives And how is Tampa supposed to expect to score if they don't even try to get posession of the puck???

  • @vrambo they won didn't they?

  • Play should not of been blown dead...

  • Tb smart. Get over it.

  • im so proud of my team =)

  • Can someone please explain this to me why did they do that for? and how are they mocking it?....

  • Comment removed

  • Flyers lose on the play since subsequent face-off is in their zone so ultimately it's a bad move.

  • delay of game!!

  • lightnings did the right thing, philly are the one taht loom like fucktars

  • You can thank the old new jersey devils for this style of play...they ended up adopting it from those dam fuckin europeans..which still play it today...Zzzzzzzz

  • team on defense can play any system to prevent goals. team with the puck is suppose to try and score....philly didnt do that and they lost, sooooo they did a horrible job mocking the 1-3-1 system

  • @JJPsmurf85 Not really. The team with the puck does not need to score. So there for they were playing a defensive game.

  • @ReUnitedComrades they do need to score. If they had the lead and did that to protect the win then it would make more sense.

  • @JJPsmurf85 Why risk it? Why not go into OT or shootout?

  • @JJPsmurf85 If you were to look at the scoreboard (assuming you did have half a brain and were capable of lifting your eyes 1mm from their current position upwards) this was done 30 seconds into the first period. Herp derp.

  • @BeanerIsland If you were to look at comments (assuming you did have half a brain and were capable of moving your eyes 1mm from their current position to the left) you would see i didnt make the OT/shootout comment, that comment was replied to me. Nice fail buddy lol......oh yea herp derp. haha

  • @JJPsmurf85 What are you even talking about? They are mocking the 1-3-1 system 30 SECONDS INTO THE FIRST PERIOD. You are telling me because of the first 30 seconds of this period they lost? I didn't even mention OT/shootout, so what are you rambling on about?

  • @BeanerIsland they did this twice during the game but you obviously didnt know that. My main point is why worry about how the other team is playing?? TB can defend however they want. Philly didnt mock anything they just looked like babies holding the puck because they didnt like how their opponent was playing.

  • im really sorry for knowing nothing about hockey, i don't watch it very often. but someone wanna explain to me what's wrong with the 1-3-1?

  • @Krazy4sokker Not really wrong, it's a good defensive trap, but it is SO boring, and especially doing it from the start of the game, in front of your own fans...

  • Nothing is wrong with it. It's just the way Tampa plays. People obviously don't like it because it works well.

  • @alucardXX2009 The 1-3-1 Forechecking system is Anti-hockey, kills the game

  • @jessejaanus1 No, it doesn't. New Jersey used this when they won all of those cups. You know...the Scott Stevens days...When the Devils were actually good.

  • @alucardXX2009 True, but in today's hockey that totally ruins the whole game

  • @alucardXX2009 and obviously who said this and agree are dumb because tampa is horrible in GA

  • @mangod27 Clarify that a little better

  • @alucardXX2009 Tampa uses it well? LOL. Check the standings my friend.

  • @Chungover Are you retarded? I meant the type of play works well. Like when New Jersey used it. Tampa doesnt always use this.

  • @alucardXX2009 the NHL made it illegal because its boring hockey. thats why the flyers stayed behind their net to show the refs that theyre doing something illegal

  • @alucardXX2009 it works well 24th in the league...

  • @alucardXX2009 really? results say otherwise

  • @alucardXX2009 Must be why Tampa is floundering below .500 right?

  • no, tamps doesn't always use this. Also, I meant that the 1-3-1 works well. Like when the Devils used it to win those cups. Tampa had sucess using it last year (once again- not all the time). This year...well yeah they are under .500 but not because of the 1-3. I wish everyone could read this comment so they know what I meant.

  • @alucardXX2009 1 3 1 would work perfectly when your up 2-0, id like to see phili stand around then,

  • Comment removed

  • @alucardXX2009 whats wrong with it is that it ruins hockey.

  • @alucardXX2009 I guess it's working well for them (13th in the east), this is more like 0-4-1, codenamed lets be pussies and not pressure the puck

  • @LpZil91 If you were to read the other replies I had made to others you would know that IT refers to the system in general. Like when New Jersey used it when they won all of those cups (2 or 3 in less than 10 years).

  • @alucardXX2009 okay? it's obviously not working for tampa

  • @LpZil91 They don't use it every game. 

  • @alucardXX2009 The Fans hate it because it's boring. I agree, though, whatever it takes to win, but it's boring as shit and not good for the game at all attendance wise.

  • @alucardXX2009

    yeah it works well if you dont want to score i guess

  • I loved every moment of the Flyers trying to make a statement when it's really them who were afraid to challenge a different tactic that Tampa Bay chose to play. It's amazing how the most people believe Tampa Bay is at fault (delaying the match). What these people fail to realize is that it's nobody's business what Tampa Bay prefers to do in a match, so if the team (Flyers) with the puck chooses not to move forward, they're cowards, end of story, lol. With that being said, Flyers are garbage.

  • tampa bay is playing like a bunch of fucking faggots. the coach is a fucking pussy for making them play like that and should be fucking fired. thats terrible for the game and that bullshit doesnt work anymore, as you can see opposing teams are smarter then that now and recognize the trap when they see it. hey boucher this isnt the fucking 90s this is 2011.

  • @dafuksup rage moar!

  • @dafuksup Cry up a motherfuckin' river. Any team is allowed to use any formation they want. Flyers were cowards, end of story, LOL.

  • @dafuksup Oh, and uh, the Flyers lost, so that about sums it up.

  • What statement? Philly lost...nuff said.

  • @utube793 Righteous.

  • How would you put an end to the 1-3-1 ? Probably end up being an unwritten rule after all the negative attention put on it, no coach will dare do it, except Guy Boucher that is.

  • still more exciting than baseball.....

  • @07SuperchargedSS Haha this is not more exciting than baseball. Hell this isn't more exciting than soccer. This is just pathetic.

  • @07SuperchargedSS Best comment ever.

  • Thats there game and they stick with it. dumbass flyers tried all night and the lightning didnt budge. 15 shots on goal I say it worked oh and the loss also hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha

  • @jlefty30 Of course it works, but it's fucking boring.

  • ...and they say the Trap is boring

  • @personM4N its a small variation of the trap

  • Flyers should have brought all 5 skaters back into their zone and skated around the net starting and re-starting the puck. Ref's would have trouble invoking the rule then. It would have looked even worse too.
