Howie58 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Greetings: I have not seen odds but assume they are prohibitively Penguins. While the Pens are on a four-game home losing streak, performance over the last 10 games shows teams at opposite ends of the performance spectrum: https://www.espn.com/nhl/preview/_/gameId/401406947 The save percentage is telling. I don't think our goalie tandem is that much worse than Pittsburgh, but when you allow a large number of dangerous chances, sub-.900 is expected. On that score, we are the same as last year. I will be at work; that might spare some pain. Edited February 14, 2022 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s keep the losing streak going, right now we pick 4th with a chance to move up in the lottery, no sense in having any pride now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather get some good prospects for G than some late pick. If we can land a good young right handed NHL defenseman in a trade for G , then we can unload Risto and get a pick or prospect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulFlyers Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 looks like no Ristolainen again...fine by me. Sanheim's 2 best games have been the last 2 w/out RR for a partner. Cause and effect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Jeepers, I just saw odds that shocked me: PIT favored (-330). We haven't been favored for awhile. But a three-handle is new. The bookies see a throwaway season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkscrewy Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 how quickly will Crosby get that 500th goal? My guess is in the first 2 minutes of period 1. I should put $50 on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Nothing more annoying than losing to the Pens. 4th pick is just about the perfect spot to have a good chance to screw it up. (like the enigma of Brad Lambert) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giroux has 63 in 60 vs the Pens - not too shabby but yes Crosby is sitting at 499 goals...might as well get his 500th against his fav team to score on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day Flyer players will realize taking cheapshots at generational players early on in their careers will not end well for the Flyers.

GratefulFlyers Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Crosby dished out as many as he took -maybe more. This wasn't a case of "waking a sleeping giant" hoping he'd stay quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Bunaman just letting Simon go right by him, get great position inside...and credit the Pens whoever made that pass it was a helluva good pass>deflection. Flyers don't score goals like that anymore... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
