Puck It Up Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 One thing I hate more than a road game that is a home opener for the opponent like last night is a back to back road home opener for the opponent who did not play the night before. It would seem all the cards are stacked against the Flyers, but from what I saw from these guys last night they certainly are go getters and are definitely fun to watch. I am really liking the young guys and the Defense. I am going out on a limb because O really do hate back to backs on the road when the other team is just waiting, but I am going to say Neuvy and the Defense puts up a great game and the Flyers pull out a 3-2 win tonight.

Howie58 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Greetings: Unlike the Sharks, we have a very good track record against LA: http://www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/opponent.cgi?Los_Angeles_Kings I am not sure if this reflects the more recent history. This is another great test against a goalie (I suppose Quick) who does wheelies and handstands to keep us out of the goal. How well will the gang hold up in the 3rd period...we have to see. My hope is the fourth line keeps up the pressure per last night and gets one or two goals to throw the Kings off balance. It was great to see a 4th line in action that could actually pose a scoring threat. I expect G and the gang to score. We haven't had much from our third and fourth lines in years.

Philly29 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 We are missing something here as far as Morin and Sanheim sitting goes. Hextall has a plan, method to his madness. The healthy scratches of both rookies will not last long. Hextall has something planned whether it be a trade or something. Their is no logical reason behind the scratch of Morin and Sanheim so I am trusting he has something planned. McDonald was on the ice for at least on goal against, it deflected off his skate into the net, please sit his ass, I don't care that he has the A. I was to tired and drunk I couldn't stay awake for the game which started late. I know it is on the west coast but for us on the east coast, a game starting past 10:30 at night is ridiculous.

Should be over tonight especially with the way Manning played. And as always good ol Mcturd deflects a goal into his own net. If only he was worth a damn at doing the screening and deflecting into the other net.... ...as i said they don't want to play the rookies for fear of them making mistakes...Hak only allows the vets to make mistakes...the kids must be perfect in order to play....that is such skewed way of thinking.

It shouldn't hell they should be well rested. I hope Hak isn't waiting for the home opener on the 14th so he can dictate the line matchups. If Mcdud and Manning were playing solid lights out mistake free hockey then i could understand not sitting them. But that isn't the case. The better lineup is with Sanheim and Morin in it. Hextall said they would play if they earned it and he just hasn't stood by what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vis Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't know if it's 100% that Morin and Sanheim will be scratched tonight as well. There was no morning skate, so you cannot tell from that. Also, Hakstol said yesterday that he's not going to discuss who is in (or out) of the lineup on a daily basis. Jerkoff. Quote “I’m not gonna talk about our lineup,” Hakstol said when asked. “The eight guys that are eligible back there, six guys are gonna play. I’m not gonna talk about the six that are in or the two that are out. If those guys are out, as we go through here if we have eight defensemen we’ll always have two pretty good players out of the lineup.” http://www.courierpostonline.com/story/sports/nhl/flyers/2017/10/04/flyers-stay-quiet-nhls-new-non-information-age/733627001/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not directed just at you, OR, but these comments just kill me. The guy was in position on the PK...not out of position. He didn't shoot the puck into his own net. Give the guy a little credit for being in position. He doesn't deserve criticism for this play. Deflections happen and are part of the game.

Don't they play in like four consecutive home openers? Also, appears to be officially official: Speculation is that Morin is going back to LV when the trip ends.

Deflections happen and are part of the game. Sure i guess. But it always seems to be him. There is nowhere i know that tracks this stat but i swear since he has been in Philly i guarantee he leads the whole team in that catergory from my recollection. There are 3 things on this team noone can do better than him. * Concede the blueline * Screen his own goalie * Defelect a puck in his own net. Tops in the NHL i bet.

Nice to see Travis get the nod. The reason he hets the nod over Morin is because he can play both side right or left. Morin mostly just plays left side. And Travis brings more offense puck support. Not to take a shot at Sam. But this has to play a part and maybe they won't to get a look at Travis before they have to send someone back for the Phantoms game on saturday.

He was second on the team last year in blocked shots. That tells me he is doing what he is supposed to do. Every now and then one is going to deflect off of him and go in. Bitch about him when he isn't covering his check or making a bone head play, not when he's doing what he is supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck It Up Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Nice 1st period as the team even looks pretty fresh even though this is a back to back. Nervy makes a fantastic save at the end of the period to keep the Kings off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
