Howie58 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Greetings: Chicago is a mild favorite (-132) despite a worse record given the O and B's poor road performance: https://sportschatplace.com/nhl-picks/2023/blackhawks-vs-flyers-pick-nhl-predictions-odds-4-13-23/ The Blackhawks are a much better faceoff team. Otherwise, these two squads are similar statistically: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phi-vs-chi/2023/04/13/2022021306 Peter Mrazek stopped 38 shots when Chicago beat us 4-1 in January. Meanwhile..... https://genius.com/1317715/Frank-sinatra-my-way/And-now-the-end-is-near-and-so-i-face-the-final-curtain .....Thankfully for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Fletcher's flops vs. the asinine tankers, what a perfect way to end the year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for the hockey luck to work in the Flyers favor unlike in 2007 with this club and the Flyers end up with the 1st pick and Chicago to end up with the 7th pick. All i want for Christmas this year. For once something work in the Flyer's favor for a change...it would help me get over losing out on Kane back then and ending up with the Floating draft pick killer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if there ever was a hockey god, then the Flyers ending up with the 1st overall over Chicago would be justice for getting screwed out of Patrick Kane in 2007. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 I will start a season post-mortem thread tomorrow. That will allow us to vent within our board's civil bounds. I will watch tonight and try to stay engaged. But it's tough. Tippett, Farabee, and Frost have some pizzazz. TK is solid. For reasons I don't get, the rest of the gang is a blur. I'm even worrying about Hart. Strange but true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because the rest of the group are just bottom 6 guys for now which is fine because that is where they need to be. With the exception of Hayes and JVR who will hopefully be gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm goos with that. And the top 6 will be adding Foerster and Desnoyers someone has to go this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he’s better than his record because we watch him play but his career stats are not great (to be kind). Career GAA = 2.96 / SV% = .906 9 hours ago, Howie58 said: Tippett, Farabee, and Frost have some pizzazz. Tippett and TK are the most reliable goal scorers and Farabee should be another one next year. Frost has made great progress this year but his small size hurts him as a top 6 center. No worries now but when the Flyers get back into the POs, start playing “for real” again I worry if he’ll hold up physically. 9 hours ago, Howie58 said: For reasons I don't get, the rest of the gang is a blur. I like Noah Cates. He’s the only forward with a + next to his name this year (+3) and for good reason. He’s as responsible as it gets managing the puck on both sides of the ice. And I (still) like Provorov and Sanheim. Seeler is the only other + this year (besides Lemieux, 17 games) and he’s another one I like. I had him pegged as a 7th at best but he was good this year. He brought much needed energy and intelligence to the back end for the Flyers. I say keep him he’s only got 1 more year on his (very inexpensive) contract. btw after tonight Cates, Provorov and Farabee will have played all 82 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeler is the perfect 7th guy nice and cheap solid in his own end and will drop the gloves and stick up for his guys. Another crazy stat...

Samifan Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Goodbye: Hayes JVR TDA Braun Lemieux Laczynski Bellows These are the obvious subtractions, not sure who else gets moved. This off-season will be more entertaining than this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 and with that point Chicago gives Anaheim the best shot at Bedard. 3 hours ago, OccamsRazor said: So true... ....but if you know you know. but but but.............shouldn't garbage players play their best in garbage time?????

He is just trying to be nice it seems to me the season is over and the evaluation is pretty much over. I don't feel any excuses from him i believe he has voiced his opinion to Danny and now we'll have to sit back and wait to see what changes can be made. You know if we know then they know. (or hope and pray they know and will be honest about it.) Now what can they realistically do about it to alter the roster without giving up assets to move the dead weight?? I won't venture to guess. I will just wait and see. And pray for hope before the start of next year. Now i just want that top pick in the draft... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 And that is a wrap. Thankfully it is over a sloppy game from what i saw. Many Hayes is a play killer i pray he has played his last game in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineFlyFan Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Ok. I checked out this season. Big Time. I stayed engaged last year...and the year before.... but this season was the straw. My camel is now in a back-brace and excited for the off season. Wishing you all a great summer! Get out there and swim and boat and soak in the sun! Spend time with your friends and family and above all, please please please..... try to be kind to each others! Peace out HF Boards! See ya all when the "shoes drop".....Bye Bye Hayes and JVR!! It's been real......(-ly frustrating) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 A pretty exciting final game - some good goals - Provorov's OT winner esp. Toews whiffing on the GWer was priceless. Love the player, hate that the Flyers haven't had anyone like him in a long time. Nice video salute to him at the end... glad TK hit 30 and 31, Tippett with another...Cates with a ripping good shot Frost great setup. so now the real work begins...

He can't name guys openly in case they can't get rid of them right away and are stuck with them for next year(s). Not yet anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the media to fcuk off... ...they don't need to know everything. Edited April 22, 2023 by OccamsRazor #bourbonup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
