Howie58 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Greetings: The O and B are underdogs (+114) but Cappertek predicts a 5-3 Flyers win based on prior 10-games. https://www.cappertek.com/article.asp?a=flyers-vs-blues-betting-odds-free-picks-and-predictions-4-4-2023-306679 Statistically, there isn't much difference between these team, save offense. That said, this is GF for the season, not recently: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phi-vs-stl/2023/04/04/2022021234 I might argue this is a matchup between a team on the way up (Flyers) versus a team whose Stanley Cup core is declining or gone. I have fond memories of these teams duking it out as Western Conference expansion teams...Glenn Hall and Jacques Plant versus Bernie Parent and Doug Favell. I am seeing tickets as low as 8 bucks....this matchup isn't stimulating much demand!!! Edited April 4, 2023 by Howie58 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Why? As if you guys haven't fcuked the tank up enough already just leave the kid in LV. Especially with Braun still available. Guess they trying to get outside of the top 10 before year's end.

Howie58 Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 My NHL Center Ice feed was on and off, but from what I saw, this was too little, too late for the Flyers. Binnington came up with some good saves. Hayes contributes nothing. This loss wasn't the result of limited effort. We don't have many scoring threats. Tyler Pitlick bites us. Funny. He has 14 points. JVR has 27. Pitlick earns $750K....JVR, $7 million. And I would rather have Pitlick kill a penalty. They are both on expiring contracts.

GrittyForever Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Excellent game. They didn't hurt their draft choices at all. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 He's been pretty damn good on the draw the last 8 games too. Hopefully this is trending as well, it was definitely something he needed to improve on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost starts hot - that's just such a great sentence that makes absolutely no sense outside of the context and as such sums up the Flyers philosophy over the last decade so well.

That was a very high skill/hand-eye coordination play. Finding that rebound in that mess, on the backhand....that is why he's been hard to give up on. Even though I was ready to ship him outta town in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
