Howie58 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Greetings: Ottawa is a mild favorite (-120). with a 4-2 predicted score. Statistically, we're a better faceoff club, but Ottawa's special teams' play is better. It looks like Martin Jones versus Anton Forsberg--two goalies with GAA north of 3.0. What will be left in the tank in a back-to-back after the win over Nashville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 If I believe unconfirmed news reports, G is not on the plane to Ottawa. The new era may be starting tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn it is going to be hard to out tank the tanking Masters... You can lose this one Flyers i have faith in you. Flyers have slid from the 4th pick to the 7th with all this winning now they need to stop it immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 And those stupid Canadiens and Coyotes have suddenly decided to play that relentless-f**k-the-risk-and-f**k-the-D-it's-all-out-attack- hockey that make them get winning streaks. I mean Arizona has the best offense in the NHL since March... I wouldn't be surprised if Seattle finally get the best odds in the draft lottery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't blame them Shane Harper is worth the tank....he could be there the next 10-12 years. Flyers can use a forward like that too....this would be a good year to get in the top 3.

GratefulFlyers Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Be nice to see Frost center the top line who knows maybe he feels less pressure without Giroux next to him? I’m rooting for Frost and hope he has a real positive impact tonight. And keep Provorov/York together. I guess it’s not York’s natural side but they looked good together till Yeo bumped him back down with Yandle. No idea why…he can’t be showcasing Braun anymore I’m sure everyone who’s interested knows what JB brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the way Chuck is driving this plane they will struck the mountain by then for sure. But we know the Flyers can only suck enough to get the 2nd pick at best. That if Fletch doesn't deal it first fof some 33 year old forward who is from Minnesota.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Well, our PP looks as inept as usual. Halfway through the first, this has the makings of a snoozefest! Sens feed on Center Ice doesn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Martin Jones is having a fine game. I wish it would rub off on his teammates. Edited March 19, 2022 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) yeah they're pretty flat tonight. Not bad defensively though and getting a lot of practice - spending their shifts defending. Looks like Kevin Hayes shot his load last night...fumbling and bumbling all over the ice. edit: ugh that won't help Frost's case - center ice that's just too obviou. Tie game midway thru the 3rd it's up for grabs on the road you just can't take a penalty like that. Ah Morgan we hardly knew ye...

Howie58 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Our lack of offense is a problem. Nine minutes without a shot in the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Saw the stat showed the Sens with 18 blown leads this year - Flyers with 17. Flyers could've taken over this game if they had just a little intensity, a little focus. And quit passing up shots. But like you said zero offensive pressure on the Sens. edit: really Yeo? Pulling Jones to start the PP? Oh boy...recipe for disaster the Flyers SUCK with the man-advantage they're even worse with a 2-man advantage. Ha and there it is. Jeez he couldn't do that again if he tried. Edited March 19, 2022 by GratefulFlyers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Effort: OK. Offense: Abysmal. And no wins in last 12 on the road. Sad and nearly unwatchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 I am detaching from this squad. Plain and simple. The play is like anesthesia. It's numbing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
