Howie58 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Greetings: This is the first of back-to-back games against tough Florida opponents. We are underdogs (+165). We've beaten this team only once out of the past 11; we are 3-13 at Amalie in recent years: https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-tampa-bay-odds-october-18-2022-1701466 TB has gotten off to a slow start (1-2). We may be in the crosshairs of an angry team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Florida losing a close game tonight. They worked hard to get it to 4-3, but couldn't finish the comeback. Will finally be a true test for the Flyers. The Nashville game included.

Yes, as Vigneault used to say, they will have to wear their big boy pants. On paper, these teams are far more talented than the O and B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont be going after any high profile players anytime soon (IMO). Torts said as much when talking about JG. He basically said now is not the time for a player like that. I see him focusing on pieces of the current roster that are working within his scheme, while tolerating those that don't (until he can get rid of them). I see more young kids being brought in before you see some high profile player. It's not like they can afford one anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Well, Deslauriers and Maroon engaged. That's about as much offense as we can muster. We skate, TB dances! Edited October 18, 2022 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 This game reminds me of our early years against the Original Six. We were game but, looked out of place. Torts said it. We were tentative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 First period seemed balanced, each team had their moments....but now in the 2nd, a Stamkos rocket makes it 1-0. BTW, I missed much of that first period, who took the bout between Maroon and Deslauriers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Some good ol fashioned hatred looks like between these two clubs. Haven't seen that in a while with the Flyers being down the last few seasons. They got some swagger back? Maybe they wake the Bolts up now.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Say what you want about Torts, Flyer fans, but this bunch you guys have are a LOT more feisty playing the Lightning than I remember last. Early season hope, player pride, Torts' influence, or a combination of all three...whatever it is, the Bolts are finding themselves in a game here. After 82 games, Philadelphia may still find themselves at the bottom of the Metro or some such, but I gotta say, I really don't recall seeing this much fight from the Flyers against the Lightning in quite some time. If it IS the Torts influence, then so far, so good then. Bodes well for the next couple seasons, maybe even before Torts wears out his welcome. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 There is nothing to be ashamed of. We are working. But there's not too much sustained offense. Talent aside, the O and B haven't worked together that much, and it shows. The Cates Brothers are good additions, and they play hard. On the other hand, Hayes and JVR look invisible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Well damned, lookee that. An EFFICIENT Flyer PP.... Stamkos did NOT look happy coming out of the box, he knows damned well he cost his team a goal taking that penalty, I will look for him to pick up his 3rd goal and the hat trick to make up for it. Flyer defense...heads on swivels, boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 That #57 Allison has quite the motor! Stamkos smashed him along the boards, but Allison showed no fear going into high traffic to make a play, knowing full well he might get buried.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Zach MacEwen not having a good game, on the other hand. Guy took an extra penalty earlier that didn't need to happen, and now took another while his team was in the offensive zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
