OccamsRazor Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Remember Bob gave up 8 goals his last game so they must get on the board first or Bob will be in their head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 ...however that could be a bad sign for the Flyers...they could lose 5-0 tonight. SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vis Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So done with trying to predict these games. Hard enough trying to figure out how they will play period to period within a game. I imagine Tortorella has put them through their paces the last few days given the time off since the whipping they took from Tampa. Imagine they are geared up to play. Flyers could find themselves in a hole early if they aren't ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Greetings: We are the underdog according to the bookies. https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-columbus-odds-october-18-2018-1020225 Putting aside Bobo's mastery, note our record in Ohio. http://www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/opponent.cgi?Columbus_Blue_Jackets I am not sure if this is an overlap with Bobo, or if this is tough venue? Regardless, we will have our hands full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Funny someone else is thinking the same nay of us here have been thinking... Is Corban Knight another Chris VandeVelde? https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/flyers/corban-knight-another-chris-vandevelde-north-dakota-products “Completely different player, so I don’t know where that comparison would come from other than the fact that the two of them played for me. That’s where you should probably end it,” Hakstol said from Nationwide Arena Thursday. “Naturally, Knight is a right-handed centerman. He’s a good two-way player. He’s versatile enough to play the right wing, and he’s a very good PKer.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheslot Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Don't know what is going to happen. Flyers come out flat in Ohio, Flyers 4 Jackets..2 Tk breaks out .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Since "Captain" Pickard hasn't really gotten used to our uhhh wildly INCONSISTENT defense, I'll go with the Flyers with a surprise win in OT, 5-4. They are long ovedue for a win there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Thankfully Bob looks like he needs to be beamed up. WTF was with that 2nd goal. Would have like to seen Pickard make the save on the 1st goal....but Ivan and Folin looked like they were running a Chinese fire drill so I can't be that mad at him... ...but it looked Elliottesque!

brelic Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Solid period for the Flyers. TK finally gets one and the Flyers scored first! Hagg, Gudas, and Sanheim had strong periods on the blueline. Weal’s line had some great shifts, and Giroux looks dialed in. 10 points already. Keep it going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Time to get Lindblom off the snide tonight! Go to see Elliott being sent a message too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 We can't get into a shoot 'em out. We are allowing them through the neutral zone with no opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Is every team in the league faster than the Flyers? Bluejackets blew right by Flyers players on their last two goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hak system is all about knowing when to pinch, and the forward getting back to cover for the pinching D man....so honestly it seems to be on the forward or the Dman picking the wrong time to pinch...a hard thing to time at this level with the speed of the game...ala Chip Kelly and the college game not translating to the pro game. You be the judge. I'm just the messenger.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Boy, is Pickard channeling with Elliott? We start out well, get a lead, and then get rattled. Maybe I need to play goal. Occam, I want you on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Wow Jake gets his pocket picked right as I tuned back in for the 6-3 lead. I don't know what to say about this team. I am open for counseling if anyone has the time and a nice couch to lay on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Pickard's last two goals were pretty soft. He has doesn't done much to be kept around. That said, I agree with our broadcast team: Our D has been porous. This is a house of horrors for the O and B. Three and fourteen. Yikes. Bobo....11 wins against us. Yikes. How do you spell R E G R E S S I O N from the second half of last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Bjorkstrand with the nice steal on Jake. Hey Flyers could of had him or Duclair who scored the first goal, but they preferred the guy toiling in the AHL and can't crack this laughable lineup in Goulbourne because you can never have enough AHL goons....just saying.
