Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a Cup winner. I just want to see a determined, focused group on the ice. That would improve things dramatically from last year. A full camp should help - but it should also likely help the competition. I agree on the addition by subtraction of Voracek. Having some more shoot first mentality will be nice to see. I am actually somewhat excited about this team for the first time in half a decade. Lots of questions - looking forward to getting some answers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I think the Flyers win a lot of 3-2 type games this season. We are most likely a playoff team, if healthy. Hart bouncing back is the key to the whole thing. The defense will be much better, not entirely sure about the offense, but they weren't that good last season. I think that depends on TK and Farabee. To borrow a line from Hotel California "I was thinkin' to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell". This sums up the 2021-22 Flyers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that does count for something. He has 37 points in 58 career playoff games. So experience is key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Chuckles reads here to get the scoop. And Rick's free gambling tips of course. No way the Ducks let the sniper go again they locked him up to a multi year deal. Geniuses!!!!! But on the point tip maybe Chuck puts a package of Braun, Yandle, Brassard and Thompson plus a 7th for Kirill Kaprizov....you can't prove he isn't.

mkscrewy Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 So that’s what went wrong last season. We need more dekes. We need a deke specialist. Maybe three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
