Howie58 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Greetings: The O&B are heavy favorites (-213) and we've taken six of the last seven matchups. https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/chicago-philadelphia-odds-january-19-2023-1704811 The Blackhawks are a much better faceoff team, but we are equal to or better in other categories: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/chi-vs-phi/2023/01/19/2022020719 Do we help them compete for Bedard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would hope we wouldn't help them for the #1 pick, but we've been playing some 'solid' hockey lately so...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 We are flat and letting them set the pace. It isn't fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 The shot total was misleading; I don't think many were high quality. This had a pre-Torts fit and feel. We gave up some shots from close in. It's hard to believe that Mrazek had his 17 games with us in 2017-18. Time flies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyJack Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) It’s a wonder anybody makes money sports wagering. Flyers sweep the Capitals in a ‘home & home’…but then lose by 3, in Philly, to Chicago ? Dis not beh rill… (?!)

This was a game the Flyers should win. But Torts said it all in the post-game--they looked flat all game and gave up the third on the first shift of the third.

GrittyForever Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I don't think Chicago has too much to worry about assuming they gut the thing at the deadline (as expected). I think only Anaheim will give them a solid run for the bottom spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what happens when other teams play "bad teams" that they think they should be able to beat. Like, for example, the Flyers... 44 minutes ago, GrittyForever said: I don't think Chicago has too much to worry about assuming they gut the thing at the deadline (as expected).

And Montreal is right there with potentially two lottery picks - a 10% chance as it stands now. The excitement is just... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer4ever Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Chicago and Anaheim will both win a playoff game before the Flyers. But not tanking is the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
