Howie58 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Greetings: We have a Saturday matinee against the Hurricanes, who are heavy favorites (-256). I have not seen lineups but wonder if Martin Jones has been "sequestered?" He is due for a start. Carolina has the capacity to steamroller us, per Florida. That said, we had a tough OT loss go-round, so we see which Flyers squad shows up. Edited March 11, 2022 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 I am pleasantly surprised. We haven't been plowed under at the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Just got home guess I may tune in to watch them screw the draft pick up further. They ARE the trap game for the Canes. Crazy how I sit here today calling the Flyers a trap game for the Carolina Hurricanes. If you would have told that would be the case 20 years ago I would have laughed in your face. Fast forward to today and we'll it ain't funny anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a loud message on a number of fronts. Maybe the rumors of his exit have merit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 This is the perfect team to show your Captain does have to be the best player offensive wise. Staal has never been a top line player. But he leads by example I try to forget he was a Penguin but I love his lunch pail work mentality. Power play time can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 So you all are talking like a mass exit of players in Philly. What players do you think will stick? I imagine Hart, Farabee, Konecny, Sanheim, Frost, York and Lindblom are must stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a guy who is experienced teaching young defensemen with good tools to work with and I keep him. Provorov Ellis Sanheim York Zamula Morin Is a sold base to work out of. But it needs work still. Some more grit. I would love to have Manson to fill a hole in the lineup. But he will end up on a better team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct that a strong and experienced D is very important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Good lawd is Yandle bad... ...you would have to send two first round picks for someone to pick of that piece of junk oh my word. I never ever had an opinion on the guy one way or the other he never made me want him on the Flyer from any of what I remember of him. But now how in the fcuk does this this guy get to skate every night to just ruin the image of the Ironman streak - a travesty to have to personally witness this. Jeez this season can't get over with fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) This is the type of game where our absence of scoring is almost as bad as absence of D. They just showed possession time. It is 9 mins in offensive zone for Carolina, 5 for O and B. Edited March 12, 2022 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yandle needs to be put out to pasture. They just said Brassard got his #200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Jones looks good he's holding it down against a very tough, complete team. Through 2 he's only given up the 1, which he had no chance on. Maybe just a little help from his D would've been nice...but it was Yandle "covering" so that explains that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 So two more games only for Giroux's Flyer career? Montreal tomorrow. Preds Thursday will be his 1,000th. But they play in Ottawa the next game would they wait till this game? If it even happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Well, you can't fault Jones. Provo and Yandle were complicit. The second goal took a strange deflection. It was JVR-like from the says he might have earned some of his pay. The ABC coverage with different angles is good. The announcers are OK as well, much better than TNT. That said, they were a bit Canes-centric. Chuck was on and Emily Kaplan asked about the future. He gave his standard few pieces away palaver. The announcers expressed some doubts. Yes, Coots and Ellis will be back. As what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think the Flyers have a pretty good Goalie tandem in Hart and Martin. Like you all said though Martin should be a good trading piece though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
