John Gibson looked a bit shaky in the first half of the game. He seemed to resemble a bit of a flailing fish, flopping around the goal to make saves. It was so much so that Carlyle ended up actually pulling him for a few minutes after letting in the Flyers’ 3rd (and game-tying) goal before putting him back in.
On pulling Gibson, Carlyle said this after the game:
“The whole idea was to use it as a timeout. I told Bernier he was only going in until the [TV] timeout. Give us three minutes. You couldn't fault [Gibson] on the goals because it was poor defensive-zone coverage from our perspective.
