OccamsRazor Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Man Tampa is looking damn good too. The deck is stacked against the Flyers this year if they are to make a run for sure. It is a friggin arms race for real!!!!!! However the Rags have lost again in OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leach27 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Let's not get carried away, it's game 6! The refs sucked with the WEAK calls in the 3rd. Great so far! But it's about time these guys finally earned the fat paychecks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Ok. I know they just won and all that sh!t but if Simmer can't go i call Read up to play RW in Simmer's spot because Lehtera is either center or LW and i would put Sanheim in and sit Manning. Not because Manning was bad or anything but i think the 3rd pair with Gudas could use some offensive punch down there. Any way my .02 cents!

Yeah well trying to keep the other lines together and there aren't any other options unless they want to throw Chris Connor a bone is could see that. Mcdonald is still out with an injury in the AHL to so that limits the options. Unless they want to see what Aube-Kubel could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 So maybe nothing serious and he plays next game. I still put Sanheim in over Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I am glad they took the Panthers seriously. It is fun to watch this bunch. This edition has speed and skill we haven't seen in years. Giroux looks like the Giroux of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the first 5 minutes that were really sloppy, the Flyers have done a great job of keeping the Panthers off of him. If he gets the shutout or gives up only one, I agree you have to go with him, but he hasn't outplayed anyone. There's a rule you know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Was at the game last night and the Flyers finally have what has been absent for far too long - speed. The first line looked great aside from the early turnovers. Weal had a couple of good chances in the 1st and you can see his speed really helps separate him from defenders. Neuvy, I thought, played a very good game and the defense really looked good. Provorov is simply a joy to watch. The kid is just super cool out there and make so many little plays. The kid is going to be special... Hagg I thought played well too - he seems to be an economy of motion out there and just plays a very consistent game. Ghost had a heck of a game too. Laughton, this kid, just seems to be all over the ice and has some serious wheels. Last, the Patrick drop pass on the DW goal was incredible. His hockey IQ is through the roof and I expect this kid to only get better and better. It was a fun game to attend and a great night. Hoping Simmer's injury is nothing serious.

I have friends in Washington that always said the same thing: they hated him for his inconsistency on the caps. Now they hate playing us when he is in net... Stopped what, 40 shots? The penalty for "diving into a waste-high stick" and others there at the end did no favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Read back up if needed, I wouldn't rejigger any of the other lines. They're all working well. Most at I would consider is putting TK with Val and Weal, but as much as I am good with Read, that would seriously damage Weise and Patrick's just burgeoning chemistry. Either way way I think we're going to see an absolute animal of a Read, determined to prove he belongs in th NHL (he does) and maybe fishing to prove himself worthy of trading for. Read, Weise, Lehtera, Manning and even Mac... these guys are NHL players. They will contribute to any team. I just don't think this team needs all of them. Mans every time I get grumpy about Mac or Weise's contract, I remind myself that St. Louis gave Lehtera a ridiculous deal that he never came close to living up to and now he's our press box main stay.

There will likely be ebb and flow of rookie seasons, but really, the only thing that might really hold this team back this year is their goalies. They're both terrifying. Even if they'd have had the cap room, committing to a better goalie just wasn't in the cards. - Because of the Vegas draft, everyone locked up thand FA's before 7/1. -most of those guys got longer deals than we'd want. Most of those deals were for longer than the goalie in question will be good for. -I have faith that with the right coaching and development, some combination of Hart, Sandstrom, Lyon and Stolarz will produce a great tandem and eventually a solid #1 and backup. -Neuwirth and Elliott will just have to be endured until one gets hurt and then we all hope Lyon is ready to steal a job-if Hakstol ever plays him. Elliott is terrifying. Both are horrible with rebounds. Shades of Cechmanek. But at least Neuvy doesn't usually end up on his rump or back after making a routine save. It seems to work out for Elliott most of the time (his ugly goals aren't usually rebounds) but it's rough on the defense. I feel horrible for Stolie. The organization didn't really treat him well IMHO, but I really thought he had the potential to be that kind of backup who steps in for an injury and just plays lights out for a fun cup run or a great stretch mid season. Lyon might too, I'd just grown fond of Stolarz. Local kids always get me. Hope he can bounce back next year. He deserves a shot at a backup job somewhere some day. Long story short is that if they play this well while their goalies are playing this shaky, imagine what having someone whose just solid (not even good, just solid) could do for them! 1 hour ago, pilldoc said: Coming, the calvary is.
