Howie58 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Greetings: Despite similar records and playing on home ice, we are moderate underdogs: https://sportsjaw.com/nhl/picks/1721414/tampa-bay-lightning-vs-philadelphia-flyers-prediction-2021-11-18 It is our defense versus their offense. Historically, this is a tough team for us: We are .500 against them and have lost our last few matchups: http://flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/opponent.cgi?Tampa_Bay_Lightning Well, it should be interesting.

FD19372 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Flyers win tonight 5-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I'd wish you guys luck tonight, but errr, no... ain't doing it this time. Bolts aren't the same dominant team they've been the last two years, but your Fly Boys BETTER show up or else.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Giroux has the Fly Guys up early. He certainly abused the Bolts' two youngest defenseman, Foote and Sergachev, put moves on them then undressed Vasilevskiy for the goal. I thought "G Is Suk"? Didn't look that way to me...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 i'm no head coach, but I think perhaps both Foote and Sergachev need a bit of talking to. 2nd Flyer goal...and once again, on them..this time another brutal turnover at the blue line leading to a Flyer 3 on 1 and the score. Travis Konecny....good for my fantasy team, NOT good for my Bolts on the real ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Pointer gets the Bolts on the board. Flyers took one too many penalties....after a good job killing one off, Braun commits tripping, and TB took advantage right after. 2-1 Philly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD19372 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The Flyers aren't sagging at all after the goal by Point. They've taken the play to Tampa since. Of course, as I'm typing this, the Lightning apply some really good pressure in the offensive zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Flyers laying out the body and paying the price blocking TB shots...whew. Some nasty rockets that takes tons of courage to get in front of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, as I'm typing this, the Lightning apply some really good pressure in the offensive zone. Alain Vigneault seems to be taking full advantage of last match up at home. I notice the Flyers best chances have come when both Foote and Sergachev are out on the ice on defense for the Lightning. Right now, they are the 'weak link' defensively for TB and Vigneault knows it. Bolts doing their best trying to avoid Philly's top line against that pair, but it its proving difficult.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Man...Mikhail Sergachev just NOT having a good game. Unforced turnover in his own zone along the wall just a bit ago, then found himself spinning around to get his bearings. Get it together, Serge!

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just noticed Jon Cooper split up Sergachev and Foote. Good. Those two youngsters just can't be on the same pairing. Foote is now with McDonagh and Sergachev with Bogosian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Possession + Pressure and more pressure = Bolts tie the game at 2. And TB driving the net again after the goal. Hart under siege a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Surprised Cirelli didn't bury that one from the right side in front of Hart. The Flyers need to tighten their checking. Joseph ties it up at 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 This is getting crazy with all these chances and guys not taking shots....both sides doing it.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Cmon, Perry...Make yourself useful. How about some vintage D-baggery to p*** off the Flyers and get their minds off hockey!
