Howie58 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Greetings: I am seeing the O and B as mild favorites (-111) with a 53% win probability, despite the fact we are 2-6-2 in our last 10: Philadelphia Flyers vs. Detroit Red Wings odds, tips and betting trends (usatoday.com) There isn't much to distinguish between these two teams on the stat front. Laczynski is back in the lineup. Brendan Lemieux makes his debut on the third line: https://www.nhl.com/news/detroit-red-wings-philadelphia-flyers-game-preview/c-341839228?game_pk=2022021002 In today's pre-game presser, Torts mentioned "addition by subtraction" This is an audition time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Flyers had a pretty good first period but trail the James Van Reimsdyk less Red Wings 1-0 after the first. Hart with a soft goal after horrible turnover by Frost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost IMHO has enormous talent but seems tentative with the puck at times. He really seems a torts type of player, great away from the puck, solid d for a kid and never takes a shift off. The rest is teachable and I believe he has a top six talent but he is smallish by today's standards and while I don't watch every flyers game from what I have seen he does not get outworked but he can be outmuscled. Still just what, 22 or 23 fifteen pounds of muscle would make a big difference 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I don't think either team really wanted to win or cared much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 For what it's worth: We beat a > .500 club Lemieux was +3 and skated well. The PP shows absence of talent Farabee is getting his mojo back. I will approach the rest of the season with an open mind and low expectations!

mojo1917 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Playing a terrible team, our bad team looked not horrible. I don't mind Delauriers at all, same with Seeler. Both of whom I thought played well last night. Those guys are fine. They're not being paid to be the man. They show up for their teammates, they're pros. They're not the problem. With each day Chuck Fletcher is in the position of GM and President of Hockey operations, I grow both angry and then apathetic. Hopelessness, your 2023 Philadelphia Flyers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Mojo, Many people share your sentiments. In fact, as I've said here before, Fletcher should probably stick with contracts under $1.5 million or the waiver wire. The downside isn't bad and the upside is possible. Nic D is apparently a great locker room guy and mentor to young players. Seeler is a satisfactory bottom pair D man who is very cost-effective. He might fetch more in the summer or next trade deadline than last week. On the broader note, it is hard to be optimistic. We've been a year away from being a year away for so long. Too long. The one positive from the last two weeks is that the franchise recognizes the depth of the problem. CF may not be the architect out of the woods, and ironically, hiring Torts may thwart the tank strategy. I hope that in the next 19 games we see some positive steps from the saving remnant. Next year could be rough for good reason--maybe some of the older players are gone via trade. That may hurt short-term. But that's the price of progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
