Game 28: Philadelphia Flyers at Las Vegas Golden Knights; 12/9/22 @ 10 PM, NBCSP

[Howie58]

Greetings:

 

Vegas is favored (-150).  The Knights have a great record against the Eastern Conference and our lack of scoring is on the bookies' minds, not just Tortorella's:

Other than penalty kill, they are much better on paper.  Take a gander at faceoff percentage difference:

Well, maybe this is a good bonding experience.

Maybe Jonesy can come out of retirement to at least teach them how to get under the skin of your opponents. He was one of the best crap stirrers in the game in his time. It would certainly increase the entertainment of the games.

That was pretty awesome. Watched the segment they did. Konecny spent about 20 minutes on the ice with him after everyone else left it. That was probably one of the bright spots this year for the Flyers.

I love to see players spend time with the kids might not last forever with the players but the kids remember it forever.

I was almost expecting the usual "trade him now while his value is highest."

Kid needs to bulk up if he's gonna stick.

 

If he's from Minnesota he's golden*

Tony D is eating popcorn. He's team worst -13. Accountability and a great Fletcher acquisition!

Fixed it.   Kind of.

[Howie58]

Watching is tough. We are putting in a good effort. But there aren't any payoffs

 

[Howie58]

That's a disappointing loss. 0-5 for the season in OT. Hard work. Hart kept it close. We were below our 2 goals average. Tough to win scoring 2. Cut that in half and it's tougher.

That was a good game though. Hart was outstanding. 

[GratefulFlyers]

i agree it was a good game by the Flyers. A good road game, kept things simple, defended as a team, good to see Cam York back in action...but the missed chances, prime opportunities to bury another goal and instead: nothing. The 1 goal they did score was a gift, a real WTF play by Hill their goalie.

 

OT was ridiculous. For 3+ minutes Vegas never touched the puck. One mistake = breakaway = game over.

Eh I don't think that was his A game. But whether is was A or B he sure could've used some goal support. Instead - one in 65 minutes. That's asking too much night after night.

 

 

[Howie58]

We are making opposing goalies look like Plant and Parent in their primes. Hill's GAA is like Sandstrom's. Sad.
