Howie58 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The O and B head to Toronto to take on the Leafs. Early odds put the Leafs as favorites: https://www.docsports.com/free-picks/nhl-hockey/2018/Philadelphia-Flyers-at-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-NHL-Picks-Predictions-11-24-2018-565.html Historically, we do well against Toronto: https://www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/opponent.cgi?Toronto_Maple_Leafs It will be interesting to see who's our starting goalie? Do we put Pickard in a back-to-back (against a team that waived him) or roll Stolarz? Do we have follow-through from the win against the Rangers?

OccamsRazor Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Now comes the test. They will see a team similar to what the Sabres brought to them. Can they handle it?? Guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 It does not appear Lyon is injured. So...maybe the powers that be have had their fill and think Stolie is the next experiment. It appears this will be Stolie versus Garrett Sparks: https://winnersandwhiners.com/games/nhl/11-24-2018/philadelphia-vs-toronto-prediction-7562/ Well, if it is Stolarz, it is a great comeback story. But what a test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what a test... For the record I am ok starting Stolie especially if Sparks is going to be in net. Why not. Sparks and Lyon battled for the AHL championship last year and Lyon lost out. However hard to blame it really on him when the Phantoms couldn't score. Let's see if Stolie can seize this chance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Occ and Colleagues: In a changing world, Flyers goalie woes are a constant. I have to give Stolie credit for a comeback. He must have toiled big time to get back in the game. It should be an inspiration to his teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Well, my source was bad. It is Pickard. I hope he has leftover juice for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Although not a former Flyer, I am predicting Son of Sami, Kasperi Kapanen will have a multi point night vs the Flyers tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Down 3-0 after 7:44. Two are unassisted on breakaways. What the hell is it with this squad. Speedy teams leave us in the dust. I am not sure if would matter about our goalie. That said, Pickard seems almost too aggressive and over-commits to one side. But I can't fault the guy for having no support. And why the hell hasn't our coach called a TO and told these folks to settle in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 4-0 in 13 mins!! Hakstol standing there clueless. Here comes Stolarz. As much as I want to see Sami’s son get multiple points tonight, I’m done. Life is too short. Night all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Stolarz has made three good stops. Jeepers, I may have some more red...Italian stuff, Sangiovese.

darthbal Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Watching this sorry bunch on cbc; and they just gad Don Cherry. He said that they should not have started Pickard; then stopped himself short after saying " their coach has no NHL experience as a player"; wanted to say more but either he change is mind or was told to change it...

mojo1917 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 This is an embarrassment. @ruxpinsaid this in another thread I don't wait. I fire hakstol between periods. tonite. Holy ****. He's not getting through or something there is no excuse for a team to look like this after the game they played yesterday. Pickard needs waived- Make a trade, there needs to be a shake up. I start with a new coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is in Mount Laurel, not too far from Philly. Small world. My mother grew up in Rochester. I used to visit my grandmother in Rochester...saw Red Wings baseball and the Eastman Museum...ate at a great place called Manhattan. Nice mid--sized city. Not sure I could take the weather but it is well-educated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
