Howie58 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The Leafs are fairly heavy favorites (-260). This is a matchup between the best and worst powerplays in the league, with the PK nearly the same: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/tor-vs-phi/2022/04/02/2021021093 The audition continues, with Attard joining Cates. I haven't seen any lineups. Laughton is still out with concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like the changing of the guards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 So Willman and Sandström have been returned to LV. We all know Yandle is going to play and they have to let him give Attard PTSD in his very first game. They wanted to see him under stress early and often to see if he cracks...poor kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Flyers should have just Radko back instead of signing Risto. At least he could check someone other than his goalie. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as it would have been, I've survived worse.

Howie58 Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 It's a sad comment on the season that the end of Yandle's streak will mean more than the game's outcome. He is -39 on the season. The experiment didn't pan out. Bill Zito and Florida had a method to their madness when he was bought out. If we are lucky, CF will do the same for JVR. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Attard can skate. Super small sample, but i think he looks like an NHL player. Does not seem like the moment is too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get bought out you basically have a sign around your neck saying "Reject." It may be for contractual reasons but usually it's because the guy is no longer effective in any roster spot. But along comes Fletcher who thinks, "Hey great an inexpensive 7th to have around, just in case..." Except if that was true Yandle never would've been bought out in the first f&*^ng place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Can they just scratch JVR for the rest of the season it is not good to have him rubbing off and tainting the young Tippett. Just sit JVR and try to trade him or buy him out IDGAF which one but get him out that sweater.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about scratch but buyout is high probability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 I only saw a part of the post-game with Taryn and Al before Center Ice pulled the plug, but Morganti said it upfront--the team with high-end talent showed who's boss. We played one of the best first periods of the season and actually scored first. The shortie killed any momentum. Wayne Simmonds scoring and dueling....yeah. Yes, the season is mercifully ending for this squad and fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Fletcher buys out JVR next year, and then is stupid enough to re-sign him cause he's just the kind of player Fletcher wants longterm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Hart wasn’t at his best no doubt but I hold off on blaming him for the lopsided loss. He was under absolute siege almost the entire 60. The Flyers played so loosely on D allowing them to come in waves… One good thing to see was Provorov’s poise and energy. He turned in another real clean game, mistake-free, and picked up some points along the way. Back to Hart. Frankly Hart is the one who should be pissed off at his teammates not the other way around. The forwards leaving D-man stranded time after time, TO after TO…thatshit starts to wear on you when you’re working between the pipes. He wasn’t at his best but I’m not sure anyone could’ve “held the fort” tonight against Marner and Matthews skating rings around the Flyers. It was like watching the hockey version of the Globetrotters. BTW we sure drew the short end of the stick on the Giroux trade. I realize Tippet wasn’t advertised as a top line forward, more of a potential top 6 and that’s fine. But I hope this was the low-water mark in his game tonight bc he truly stunk it up out there. Frost looked better again, much more assertive and faster decisions on both sides of the ice. Good to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
