Howie58 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The odds after the Caps game were Rangers at (-150). As of 11:10 PM DST, they were -210. Hopefully, they won't give up double digits. The Flyers are 9-21 in their last 30 home games. Yes, 9-21. If Hart is injured, I'd let Jones recover from shell shock and start Sandstrom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too but it will have to be an emergency recall i think they have already used up their 4 allowed till the season has ended. But the Phantoms have a game tomorrow night and are still in the playoff hunt....only because mathematically they haven't been eliminated. But Phantoms may have it covered i remember they signed someone to help when Ersson went down with an injury. I'd much rather Sandstrom play than Jones who needs to be shown the door at seasons end.

Howie58 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I don't know about Hart's situation. At this stage, the season has probably taken five years off his career. Jones....hopefully a footnote soon....maybe we bring back Rob Zepp. Edited April 13, 2022 by Howie58 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) The national coverage is glaring. People have to wonder about the depth to which this franchise has sunk. Opposing players feared the Spectrum. Now, they and outside market viewers probably think South Broad is the Hockey Riviera.

Samifan Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Second game of back to backs after allowing 9 goals. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Rags are probably licking their chops for revenge after dropping the recent game at MSG to this collection of “Fletcher F**kups” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Oh yeah the Rags will be hungry and ruthless tonight. I'm sure they see this game for what it is, a great opportunity to kickass, score goals in bunches and embarrass the Flyers in their own building. Well what the hell the Flyers are used to that. edit: Has anyone heard anything about Farabee? He hasn't looked like himself for about a month now. If he's not hurt then something else is wrong. Maybe the stench of the Flyers is finally getting to him. It's hard to score goals while you're holding your nose.

Howie58 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hello Gang: Here is the apparent lineup: Projected Flyers lines Joel Farabee—Kevin Hayes—Cam Atkinson? Travis Konecny—Scott Laughton—Bobby Brink James van Riemsdyk—Morgan Frost—Owen Tippett Noah Cates—Nate Thompson—Oskar Lindblom Ivan Provorov—Cam York Travis Sanheim—Rasmus Ristolainen Kevin Connauton—Ronnie Attard Martin Jones (Carter Hart) Projected Rangers lines Chris Kreider—Mika Zibanejad—Frank Vatrano Artemi Panarin—Dylan Strome—Andrew Copp Alexis Lafrenière—Barcley Goodrow—Kaapo Kakko Dryden Hunt—Kevin Rooney—Ryan Reaves Ryan Lindgren—Adam Fox K’Andre Miller—Jacob Trouba Justin Braun—Braden Schneider Alexandar Georgiev If Atkinson is out, JVR will be the only Flyer to play in all games this season. I cannot imagine Martin Jones in goal again. OMG, that is almost incomprehensible...seriously. The Connauton-Attard Duo was -5 last each last night. For Attard, this isn't a baptism by fire, it's more like an adult circumcision. I have a good Shiraz waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Why don't they put JVR, Hayes and Ristolainen together so they can have $20 million of useless f***s on one line? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 I am about to pour some more red stuff. This could get very ugly. Pray for Sandstrom. TNT showed Yandle and Hayes walking into the arena with big smiles. Shoot, they are earning enough to smile while the franchise sinks into a bottomless pit. The Rangers get all the discussion. Yikes.

Howie58 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Well, they killed a 2-man deficit, amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 and the 1 goal-against looked a lot like last night. 5 guys staring and no one even moves to the shooter. Besides that play though the Flyers had the better of it. Sandstrom looks fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Well, we were respectable. The kids had energy. Sandstrom played well. Kappo Kakken (sp) went upteen games without scoring and nets two. Brink had a wide-open net but the puck bounced too high. You'd think Yeo would get the reality that pulling a goalie for us is a hand grenade toss. At least it wasn't 9-2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Rangers have their Russian. Isles have theirs. Bring the kid over and let's put some pressure on Hart maybe that wakes him up. I am all for steel sharpens steel. Cream will rise to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 I woudn't care if Sandstrom starts the remaining games. If we have a competent in-house backup, fine. Fedotov may be great...not sure if Russian pedigree is easy to bring on board in this environment. As for Hart...if they traded him for a picks or prospects, I say fine too. At this juncture, we could have Parent, Vezina, or Dryden, and the outcome might not matter. This is a really challenged group, though the youngins show some enthusiasm. That counts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
