Howie58 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Greetings: I am seeing a split among the bookies, with both teams showing as mild favorites (-110). Ottawa hasn't won a back-to-back this season. We aren't a good Saturday matinee squad. It looks like Forsberg versus Hart. We beat them last week 2-1. On face, this is our inept offense versus their awful defense:https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/ott-vs-phi/2022/11/12/2022020225 This will be a challenging weekend. I'll be curious to see who's in the doghouse after the performance against Columbus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wonder what they have planned for the Return of Giroux! Should be a good game - has to be better than the egg they laid in Columbus - one of those games you try to forget and just move on. At least Provorov finally got a goal though that was nice to see. He and DeAngelo look pretty good to me - and I like that Tortorella split up the Ristolainen/Sanheim pair - hope he leaves it that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Snacks and beverages set up to watch Giroux’s hat trick this afternoon. Is Torts behind the bench today or is he still wandering around Columbus somewhere after walking out of the area in disgust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be curious to see who's in the doghouse after the performance against Columbus. I know you said Philly isn't a good matinee team (that's actually a strange but true fact of more than just Philly), but, keep in mind of this: Ottawa has played their arses off and have precious little to show for it. I like their talent and frankly, I think they are further along the competitive scale than your Flyers, but at the same time, Philadelphia with Torts in charge, seems to be playing with a bit more of an attitude....an attitude that Ottawa doesn't yet have apparently. On paper, the Sens should wipe the floor with the Flyers. But you know the game is played on the ice.....the Flyers should be really upset about their last showing, and the Sens are still looking for answers as they are losing games by just a hair. Your boys have a legit shot today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Florida Panthers may have called a cab for him to get back to Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wade Allison in some distress. I KNOW Coach Tortorella preaches finishing checks, but cmon, Wade...ya gotta actually HIT the guy and not catch mostly endboards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 This started okay but has become painful to watch. I have a feeling the Torts bubble has burst and some of this team is quitting again. We just might be starting a LONG slide down. I'm going out for a walk.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hmmm.....maybe @Howie58 was onto something with the whole "not a good matinee team" thing.... Spirited game by Philadelphia (both sides really), but 'spirited' wasn't good enough for a 'W' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Was sleep my boss ask if would help out on nights a month. So yeah i won't be watching much this month. But it looks like i ain't missing a damn thing. Wake up to a 4-1 loss only one i feel sorry for is Hart he'll be back on his shrink's couch real soon. One goal on Giroux's return sad. I sure hope help will be on the way soon with some semblance of a plan. With their lack of centers we already know they are going to push this kid to Center. We know it. I wish they would just go find a good center like wish now that was on their radar by next year or more of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 I watched the first period and the post-game (Center Ice has shown it the last few games) and Torts presser. JJ and Keith Jones said special teams play hurt. We couldn't score and game them two of three. Torts was furious over unforced turnovers and penalties taken when the Flyers had possession. He stated that you can't win when your facing two opponents--the other team and yourselves. He looked pretty dejected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't look good for Allison but still can't pin point what he hurts looks like it could be a couple things. Hope he is OK. If it was his knee was it the surgically repaired one?

Looking pretty clear that a lot of these players can't (or won't) do what he wants them to do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
