Samifan Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I smell a blowout gif the cats tonight. I should be super excited for my trip to Philly to see the Black Friday game against the Canes but 72 hours out I’m already pissed that I will have blown another $500 weekend on this team.

The tryptophan will help you sleep tomorrow night. The Flyers game will help you fall asleep tonight. Wouldn't want both on the same night; you could slip into a coma. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Frost has been called up. I am sure they will team him with our top finishers like McEwen and Thompson, that way we can get the most of his playmaking skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Zach MacEwen was the Flyers' best player last night - and has been good or very good every game he's played. I'm not saying put Frost next to him but the Flyers could do worse than giving MacEwen more minutes. This guy has the energy and the FU attitude - and it turns out he's got moves too. His skating isn't the most, uhh, fluid...shall we say, but give him opportunity and I bet he starts scoring goals. One of the very few Flyers who competes Every Shift.

FD19372 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Panthers win 4-1. Reinhart gets a couple of goals. I just don't see them getting a lot of quality shots through on Bobrovsky. Too many question marks and the offense needs to show me something that it hasn't in a while for the Flyers.

GratefulFlyers Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) I sure am glad Yandle is piling up points otherwise he would be damn useless. What an outstanding upgrade from Gostisbehere. edit: //sarcasm Edited November 25, 2021 by GratefulFlyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 At least we were spared the skills competition. Still...3 on 3 is such a hokey way of deciding a hockey game. A gimmick for the fans that cheapens the game imho. The Flyers looked better tonight. Jones bailed them out many times otherwise it would've been ugly. But credit the Flyers for good energy on the 2nd night of a B2B. After the nonstop running around in the first 5 mins, when it looked like men vs boys again, once they settled into the game they played pretty good hockey and gave FLA a good fight.

FD19372 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 They defended, competed and got better quality chances against Bobrovsky than I thought they would. Solid bounce back effort, very good road point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 I wasn't able to watch. It sounds like we competed. But we can't seem to breach 2 goals. Tonight follows that pattern. I am glad Jones played well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our goaltending was suspect but we just picked up Mack Guzda who should be a huge upgrade. I think despite losing our best player they should be all in on this season.

Bringing in Bryzgalov for 9 years was idiotic for so many reasons but the Flyers can't still be paying him off...? On a side note - bc you reminded me of those years...Lavy and Homer should've supported Bobrovsky better (or at all). Giving Bryzgalov a 9 year contract sent Bob the message loud and clear. Nice work there boys - the guy you ran out of town went on to win the Vezina the very next season - and then again a few years later. //rant Anyway - I'm guessing you had something else in mind...
