Nice backcheck by TK too. Now if someone can't teach Jake how to score... At some point soon, TK is going to explode for a ton of points (hopefully with Patrick) and people are going to say, "where did that come from?!" But we'll know this kid has been a helluva hockey player for us all along. He's what, 20? Boy That makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

off_the_post Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hard to complain these days. The team is a lot of fun to watch. Sure I'd like Sanhiem playing but you can't argue with results. I even like Hak giving the Flyers days off (like from practice today) to keep their legs fresh. So I've come up with a complaint. I don't like Neuvirth's mask - the pixelated Camo. It looks like some bad colored minecraft thing. Sorry, that's all I've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just it - I don't think this team would lose 10 in a row. They're obviously playing on a high right now, and it won't sustain for an entire season, but I just can't imagine that kind of long losing streak with this group.

You know what's really interesting, all the broadcasters kept talking about was how pissed the TEAM was over the last Preds game. I don' remember hearing that about this team in like, well, forever. I think it's fantastic that this team is hating to lose again, that alone may prevent any 10 game losing streaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vis Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Team is playing with a lot of confidence right now. Gotta give Hakstol a lot of credit for running a good camp and for getting his players to play his way. Credit also goes to the leadership group. Yes, Giroux and Voracek had an off game and some iffy plays, but by and large they have been playing the way they need to and setting a good example (Giroux in particular). Couturier has been great on that first line. I like that he defers to Giroux and Voracek in the o-zone, letting G handle the center's role in that zone. I wish Konecny and Weal would get on the scoreboard more because they are doing a lot of little things that are helping to create goals. For example, a lot of focus re: Ghost's goal was the give and go with Simmonds. However, Weal kept skating forward toward the net taking the d-man with him and creating space for Ghost to receive the pass and rip that shot. Fun watching these guys play.

Most of those deals were for longer than the goalie in question will be good for. Oh, I completely get this. And terrific post.

All I can say is that we've recently seen Lundqvist and Rinne look just about as bad as our guys so there's never really safety right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Voracek rattling the cage on the empty net was every bit as funny as Filpulla's face off loss goal. What a weird 2 minutes of hockey that was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineFlyFan Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 That was another tremendously entertaining game! Finally, I don't feel like I'm throwing my money away on my Center Ice Subscription! GO FLYERS!!! Perhaps this years start will yield a different result come next spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll lose, sure but last year even when they were winning ten in a row, any of those games could easily have gone the other way. They looked sketchy. Right on the edge. Not so now. They look like a team that's still only figuring themselves out but which no one can keep up with anyway. I am am feeling strong that this is the beginning of the new era. Not that it's cup run time, but the corner has been turned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the fact that we're not going out spending millions of $$$ on 35 year olds to "fill in the gaps" for short-term gain means we've turned the corner...just that fact in itself. They're letting the kids figure the NHL game out instead...thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
