OccamsRazor Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'd rather see Lyon than Pickard myself. Pickard scares the shat out of me. So losing to the Flyers got Stevens fired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I hope this is not the classic setup game for a loss. Yotes have beaten some pretty decent teams as of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vis Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Really not expecting a win tonight. Arizona has been playing very well and could give the Flyers fits defensively. Raanta has been excellent. Grabner is also playing well (frankly, Hextall should have targeted him in UFA). They're PK is outrageous. They might have as many SHGs as the Flyers have PPGs. I don't know their their success is sustainable, but they are buzzing right now. Could be a real tough game, especially with Pickard or Lyon in net. Not feeling strong about this one.

However i'm glad he didn't he would have taken Lindblom's spot on the LW. And actually Oskar (3 goals 4 assists) has produced really the same results as Grabner (3 goals 3 assist). So i am good with it besides Oskar is 9 years younger and 10 pounds heavier with twice as many hits. So really there was no where for Grabner unless he was going to replace Lehtera or Weise. I do think the Flyers could have used his speed for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Howdy: We are going up against a streaking team with a red hot goalie: https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/coyotes-look-to-remain-hot-at-home-vs-flyers/ A red hot goalie...hmmmmm....when was the last time we could make that statement. Shoot...a goalie with a .900 save percentage in one game, much less season-wide, would be a milestone for the O and B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers 4-5-1 in the last 10. Yotes 7-3-0 in their last 10 and have won 5 straight. It would be nice to see them come in and ruin the Yotes streak and repay them from last year. But Raanta (929% 2.10 gaa) vs. Pickard (851% 4.50 gaa) looks horrible on paper and a complete mismatch for real. Yeah might want to find something else to do....like watch Monday night football or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is frightening to think about a team without a .900 save percentage goalie. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the Flyers could have used his speed for sure. I think Grabner plays either side, so it would have been a little bit of a logjam either way. In any event, I was thinking in place of JVR. Would have been a better contract and would have addressed the PK and added speed to the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and at RW it would be Simmer's spot. Who has twice the number goals than Grabner. And in JVR's place right now it would be an incomplete grade with him being hurt. I can't be mad at him. Grabner would have been half the cost as JVR no doubt there. But i have to say in 11 less games Grabner only has 5 more points than JVR. So i would say i will hold off judgement right now on JVR and must say i was ok with them spending the resources on him. I'm hoping when he comes back he can provide some scoring punch that is needed badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wow time I sit down and the first thing I see is Patrick gain the zone and pass to Jake for him to do what????

OccamsRazor Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Nice goal by Ghost. Stepan with the deflection on his shot. I'll take it. Man Flyers struggle to get shots through on the PP lucky to be up 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 They have Jake listed with 10 giveaways through this many games there is no friggin way I have seen him turn the damn puck over more than that on this West coast trip alone. Not sure how they score that but it is not accurate by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Goddamn really? They score on the 1st shot of their PP. What a tick tacky call on Lindblom. And then they go to the PP again as I type. Not sure how that wasn't a dive by the Yotes are you kidding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
