Howie58 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Greetings: The Wings are mild favorites (-150) and the O and B are not a great road team, but as this handicapper notes, there isn't much separation between these squads and picking any favorite is a challenge: https://pickdawgz.com/nhl-picks/2023-01-21/flyers-at-red-wings-prediction-nhl-picks Here's the comparative stats, which confirm the handicapper. https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phi-vs-det/2023/01/21/2022020735 Hopefully, the squad awakes from the Blackhawk slumber.

Howie58 Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Are the goalies that good or the offenses so bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I don’t think the Flyers have had one legit scoring chance. Hart has made some key stops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Well, this makes two shutouts we've lost in the last minute of play this year. But glad we gutted this out. Boring but two points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 It was a fairly dull game, but it was also a decent shut down of a speedy team with more talent. So it's a solid win in terms of executing the Torts philosophy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a check on the translation of mediocrity to Latin: https://glosbe.com/en/la/mediocrity#:~:text=mediocritas is the translation of "mediocrity" into Latin.,of being intermediate between two extremes%3B a mean. Mediocritas So, technically, it should be Semper Mediocritas. I guess English does have a lot of Latin derivation. Either way, we can keep it Semper Med! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
