Howie58 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Winning a shootout is so rare I couldn't fathom it. And that was after two Merlots and a power-walk. I was listening to the game on Sirius, and got home for the OT and shootout. I am glad Mason came out to challenge shooters....he played big instead of small, and that is a good thing. After last night's disappointment, this was a good turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swflyers28 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 That was a weird game. Very sloppy and I was changed the channel a few times. Someone needs to give this team 5 hour energy to these guys before the game or something. Good win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 We may be seeing a newfangled Flyers squad that has some scoring potential. But at times we have a sieve on D. Streit had three points; he still has some good nights in him, I guess. The first goal on Neuvy was strange but this was not his night. Konecny and Provorov are good adds.

FD19372 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Great comeback win! They have to get off to faster starts. A lot of standing around, and not skating and initiating play in the first two periods. They were flat out outskated by a mile in the first 2 periods. In addition, the defense is what I thought it might be. Average to slightly above average. You have one d man who is aging, another veteran who is learning knocking someone's head off isn't always the right play, a defenseman who is a very good, smart skater who is still learning the game in Ghost, and another in Provorov who is learning how to play a game against others who are as fast and strong as he is. This is a work in progress, folks, and it will take time. I won't talk about McDud because he doesn't belong up with the big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icehole Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 What the hell happened last night? After TK scored, I was nodding off so I decided to go to bed. I took the dog out and got an alert from NBC say something about "a tight game in philly" and I thought since when is a 3-1 game late in the third a "tight" game? Then I get a text from a friend a few minutes later saying "nice little comeback here". Then I see they won in a SO! I wish they didn't lull me to sleep in the first 50 minutes. They could complete a pass. I was so disgusted and just figured they were going to lose at home against the Kane-less, Eichel-less, starting-goalie-less, Sabres, and didn't want to watch to the end.

flyercanuck Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Last night was a prime example why +/- can suck. Off the faceoff in the Flyers end the puck goes into the corner, and Provorov, with a great stick, neutralizes his guy. McDud lets Moulson take the puck and walk in front of the net and score. Smart defensive play by the 19 year old results in a minus thanks to the overpaid soft as babyshite veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 How about Disco Dan's strategy to slow the play down in OT? Playing the puck back to the goalie and not trying to push the tempo or win in overtime, Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck_Pun Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yeah, that was a little... strange. I understand passing back to retain possession and regroup, but whenever they did they sure took their time before making a forward push. Overtime is only 5 minutes, but they didn't play like it.

Bylsma is probably still expecting powerplays to be handed to him in OT. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan4ever Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 @Samifan Didn't work out to well for him though Although with out past history in shootouts, it may not have been a bad plan. I'm just glad we were able to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 A few interesting stats from last night: Flyers had 13 giveaways to Sabres' 4. I didn't watch the game - what was the main contributor? I see that MacDud and Coots led the way with 3 giveaways each. Provorov led the team with 24:12 ice time and 3 blocked shots. I really like that Hakstol and co are determined to keep pushing him despite the rookie mistakes. Couturier only won 35% of his faceoffs last night. He's at 43.7% for the season. That has *got* to be better! Anyway, great to see them have that comeback ability. Now, maybe they need to focus on *not* spotting the opposition a few goals before turning on the jets.

murraycraven Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Can anyone explain why Boyd Gordon is on this Team? I thought this guy was supposed to be a stud on FOs yet he is clocking in at 40%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konecny and Provorov are good adds. Not sure what to say on Neuvy. That third goal was really pretty bad. It's like he's not all there. It's early in the season so I guess the "tired" team argument has some merit, but he didn't play in Montreal and he was just unfocused. 20 hours is a quick turnaround from Montreal even a 60 minute flight can be tough when you have to play again right away... glad they woke up.... but I'm officially concerned about Neuvy. He truly looks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
