Howie58 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Greetings: The O and B are underdogs (+235). Statistically, the Bruins excel in special teams play. https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phi-vs-bos/2022/11/17/2022020265 It looks like Hart versus Ullmark in goal. We are 3-8 in our last 11 against the Bruins. Edited November 16, 2022 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 One would think they have virtually no chance, but the Bruins are perhaps ready for a let down game as they are rolling a little too comfortably right now and due for a took the opposition too lightly game. They do that, we get ahead, Hart plays great, you never know. But otherwise, no, Bruins look really really good and are deep and talented. More likely, a blow out.

fan4ever Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 How many back-to-back's have we had this season so far? Seems like a lot (not that it would matter of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Man I can’t believe the Buffalo Sabres let Linus Ullmark leave. He’s so much better than the garbage the Sabres have in net now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 I just watched the highlights and post-game presser and analysis. we were badly outclassed and beat ourselves. Ivan looked pretty brutal on the third goal. Hart can only do so much. We're really screwed if we lose Konecny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Well that was a look at how a team can win if they come out stinking for the first period but actually have a talented roster and just take over in the end with limited effort. The Bruins that is. Ummmmm, we tried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Looks like Fletchers team building talent is finally being showcased. Hart was messin' with that at the season start. But the cream always rises to the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The Flyers simply lack the offensive talent to field anything even approaching the potent top line. On a nightly basis, the Flyers face the first line of the likes of Pasternak/Marchand, Aho/Necas/Svechnikov, Kucherov/Point/Stamkos, Crosby/Guenzel, Barkov/Tkachuk, Panarin/Zibanejad, etc... You get the picture... They are embarrassingly outmatched in the talent department. Fletcher and the rest of the front office betrayed this team and needs to be held accountable.

That doesn't close the sizeable gap and isn't "competitive" with many of the lines you note, but it wouldn't be as bad. Speaking of which, 20+ games seems an awful long time for a guy not to play while also not being on IR... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I have total confidence in Flyer management that he, Ellis and Tertyshny will all be back in the next game or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say it much better than that. Now with Tortorella they’ll probably find some success; as a team they’re already playing much better than last year. But after this year, if the successes materialize as I expect they will, that’s when I worry about Fletcher’s mitts the most. Tortorella talks about the “work in progress” aspect a lot. He sounds like his priority is weeding out the scrubs and the overpaid underachievers. As he accomplishes that I wonder if the front office will support him. It may mean some embarrassing moves….taking pennies on the dollar… I’ve never been a fan of Tortorella but I like what he’s trying to do with the Flyers this year. His mindset seems to be “we’re starting over” even if no one else in management wants to or thinks they need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management wants to take next steps and he's saying they're taking first steps. They play above expectations, never really get to the next level, and he's fired for not taking "the next steps". I'll be happy to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with every part of that. 1) Don't like him. 2) He's right and management is ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
