Howie58 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The Flyers are a mild favorite. The Habs are on a scoring drought and don't play well in Philly: https://sportschatplace.com/picks/nhl/philadelphia-flyers-vs-montreal-canadiens-3-19-19-nhl-pick-odds-and-prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmatus Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The brains have us at a 4% chance of making the playoffs. We had grown to about 8% after Hart's heroics, but our mixed record since then has dropped us back to 4%. Either way you cut it, this game is the definition of must win to keep any lingering playoff hopes alive. If we don't win tonight, i expect that percentage to drop near zero. Someone else will have to be ousted in the first round by the Bolts instead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Montreal is one of my all time hate teams, you know in terms of sports hate, and there is a lot to hate. The stupid Ole' ole' ole' chant, Brendan ****** Gallagher - those white sweaters are pretty sweet though, Brendan ****** Gallagher, the fact that half of our cast offs skatefor them and will no doubt find success...Jordan Weal, Christian Folin, and Dale Weisse.... their city is beautiful...screw them. I hope we skate them out of our barn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we skate them out of our barn. I join the club. Living in the Montréal market is a constant suffering thing to have to deal with the self-claimed best attendance in the galaxy and masturbating about their glorious history back in the time where they were only 6 team in the league with drafting only in your area... They just should be happy to be still fighting for a playoff spot given their team. But as far as I loathe them, I have to admit that Bergevin (for once...) did a solid job during the offseason.

Hartsheart Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Montreal is on a 2 game slide and is really in need of a win to keep any slime chance of making the playoffs alive. The Flyers had a good game in there last game and will look to continue that at home to keep there slime chances of post season hopes alive.

I agree...those Habs really are rather slimy when I think about it...… So hopefully the Flyers can help keep them out of the playoffs to keep things clean.

I hope we skate them out of our barn. You'll be happy to know that they are just as bad there as they were here. Weise is a healthy scratch, no points in 9 games. Weal has 4 points in 26 games since he left the Flyers (2 with Montreal) and is on the 4th line. Folin is a 3rd pairing guy there. I wonder if they'd take MacDonald too...

They are going for 9 straight games without one if they don't put one in the basket tonight. Montreal 15th PK at 80.7% Flyer PP 24th at 16.3% Not the greatest matchup on paper but they have to find a way to get one past Price tonight. If the Flyers don't make teams pay there is no need for other teams to fear going to the box. Crazy to think that the Flyers have gotten outhit by the Canadians too. Canadians 4th in the NHL in hits. Flyers 15th wow have the Flyers gotten soft...and that is with the #1 (Hagg) and #2 (Gudas) in hitters in the NHL on the blueline. Flyers are 6th in the NHL in blocked shots. Montreal 15th. Flyers 29th in the NHL in takeaways. But at least they are #1 in the faceoff dot. Montreal 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Oh damn this isn't good news....that means Mcdud back in the damn lineup...Dear gawd we are never going to get rid of this bum... I know this will make @flyerrod happy he can break out his Andrew Macdonald jersey for the game tonight. I really wish they would recall Friedman for the game they still have 2 recalls left. Just someone who can maybe actually play some defense Mcdud can't, he is just the best backwards skater on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 My biggest worry with the O and B is mental and emotional. Some of the NBC announcers made that about the end of the season in general during the Pitt broadcast. The "win or out of the playoffs" mindset has to take its toll. You won't win every game. This drill has to wear after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they prepare exactly the same and go into the game prepared one game at a time to get the points and after the 3rd period ends they will see where they stand at that point. I don't think they come into the game with a mindset of you lose this game your done until there backs are completely up against the wall. That is just my opinion.

OccamsRazor Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Well i think tonight if they lose it will be it for them. If they win they are one point behind Montreal. The Canes might be on the sink soon they have a hard schedule left. PITx2WSHx2 TBLMINMTLPHIx2TORNJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Who knows this could come down to the wire with the last games vs the Canes almost like 2010 the Flyers getting in on a Matt Carle's goal to force OT/shootout and then Danny B and Giroux leaving it to Boosh to close the door...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Flyers REALLY gonna have to watch that top line of Gallagher-Domi-Tatar.... despite the Habs' issues, those guys are slick, fast, and dangerous. Philly defensemen are gonna have their hands full with that line....good thing Hart is backstopping tonight instead of Elliott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
