Howie58 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Greetings: Calgary is favored (-242) and has taken eight of the last ten meetings: https://statsalt.com/games/nhl/2-20-2023/philadelphia-flyers-vs-calgary-flames-prediction-2029/ In something of a headscratcher, NHL.com is reporting the 11 forward, 7 d-men setup: https://www.nhl.com/news/philadelphia-flyers-calgary-flames-game-preview/c-341274340?game_pk=2022020904 I didn't think this worked so well the last games, but I am not a coach. I will be at work for most of the game. A mental health game off may be good. Edited February 20, 2023 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 How else do you reach millionaires?? I'm good with it. Most of us have wanted a coach who would hold his players accountable. Could he just scratch the whole team and call up the Phantoms??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occ: It would be an interesting test case. One suspect that putting 4-5 Phantoms in the lineup wouldn't do much. I just read about the scratch. I am glad. He needs a wakeup call.

No i meant scratch all of the Flyers call up the whole Phantoms team. I'm just being facetious...it would never happen but i would love to see an attempt. I want a trade or something if it isn't nothing but something new to bitch about i am tired of this team and i want something else to watch not that football season is over with.

flyercanuck Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Maybe the guys are playing like crap because they've learned from upper management...the lousier job you do the bigger the promotion. I mean what's the motivation for playing for Homer and Chucky? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 If Joel doesn't score this game it will be 17 games since his last goal. Man next GM has a lot of sorting to do!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Farabee came out on the 4th line with Deslariers and Allison. Calgary was a step ahead all 1st. But the Flyers eventually found their legs after TK's power goal. Ersson is standing on his head and he's the reason the Flyers still have the lead. He's been tested and came up huge a bunch of times - even made the save on a 2-0 (after another Flyers defensive meltdown). Konecny took a hit on the numbers late in the 2nd and hasn't returned in the 3rd...TK had the puck but it was pretty cheap shot Weeger just drilled him in the back and right into the boards. No call.

Samifan Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 TK now officially out with an UBI. Goodbye offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Can't believe I'm spending my state sponsored vacation day (Louis Riel Day here, look the crazy mofo up), watching the Flyers. I need a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizz Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Kevin Hayse is the most useless player on the Flyers. And that is saying a lot on this team. For someone his size he is almost invisible when he is on the ice. Holy crap I hate him as a player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Well, there (maybe) goes TK's trade value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 I didn't watch but it seems the Howie58 Formula for a Flyers win applied: 1) A stand-on-head goaltending performance; 2) some defense; and 3) we score more than 3 goals. Wash, rinse, repeat. The highlights had Weegar's hit on TK. I agree with Grateful; that looked like a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 See, like I've been saying, they play like crap, then Torts yells at them then they play well. This time during the game. They need to find a way to put Torts yelling at them on a loop and just play that constantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it in this joke of a franchise that just destroys players will to compete? (I mean other than building it around Hayes) The way his game has fallen off a cliff is crazy ... I'd say shocking except he's not the only one. Farabee is a smart, tough player - too smart to take any crap on the ice and he uses temper pretty well from what I've seen. But last year and now especially this year, other than a few incidents, he's a Lady Bing candidate at best. It's hard to imagine a more complete 180. So his "fire" is almost out, he's not going to the net or scrapping for loose pucks. It's almost like ... he doesn't care. But how can that be? The Flyers are a proud franchise, their identity is strong, intact - the Philly Flu and all that ... yeah. right.
