Howie58 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Greetings: The O and B are installed as favorites against the sub-.500 Habs (that is not a typo). But their record over the last 10 is better than ours: http://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/montreal-philadelphia-odds-february-8-2018-868879 On the other hand, as this preview notes, the series has been one in which the home team has a decided advantage; the Montreal offense has been sub-par this year. We should be the hungrier team: Elliott plays well against the Habs. https://winnersandwhiners.com/games/nhl/2-8-2018/montreal-canadiens-vs-philadelphia-flyers-expert-prediction-4191/ Let's go Flyers, and let's see our youngins continue to grow.

Well, maybe he has incentive against a former team...or the rust protector is wearing thin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Dear Jake, Please stop it with the the turnovers. Your buddy, MC Ps: and stop the cross ice passes. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 One step forward... ...two steps back. Killin me Jake. Thread the needle. Finally they score on the PP. Give up a shorty along with a PP goal. If they can get the kinks that remain in their game and come up with at least 3 reliable lines they can make the playoffs. It is good to see them find a way to win even without their best game. I would love to see ore of this Jake. Good to see Elliott is playing well. Thanks Ivan for icing it. Good to bet the teams you should beat. Next game another team they should beat but have been a thorn in the Flyers side.....Yotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 It was a strange game to watch. There was good play followed by mental lapses. Konecny is tenacious and fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Here is a good assessment of the game. The last point is perhaps the most important--we weren't good statistically. The Habs should have taken this one but Moose and a shaky Price probably made the difference: https://www.broadstreethockey.com/2018/2/9/16994102/flyers-5-canadiens-3-there-it-is-the-home-win-weve-been-waiting-for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pucked in the head Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I wish some of the high energy Konecny has would rub off on a few others that just seem like they are only playing for a paycheck instead of caring about winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
