And I am sad to say that because I've always liked him as a Sens player and early into his Dallas career. He definitely is no longer top six material, and what's left of his skillset doesn't really lend itself to being a bottom six grinder either. I wondered at first of the wisdom of turning away Marleau...then signing Spezza, when I think Marleau is a more viable NHL'er, but then, the Leafs have to be very cap cognizant and Spezza is dirt cheap compared to even Marleau, and well, they are getting what they are paying for in this case. Turns out Spezza did play... and was involved in everything tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was "gut check" time for the Leafs. They needed this win to stay relevant in their division because they were dropping to the bottom fast. It was a good start, and then they seemed to lose all momentum after giving up a goal on the penalty kill. It was like someone hit the "OFF" switch. I actually started to fall asleep late in the first period because nothing was happening. I must have slept through the intermission with Coach's Corner because when I woke up it was mid-second period I think. Started to get interesting again so I stayed awake and watched the rest. It certainly wasn't the 80's style hockey like I was hoping for but the Leafs pulled it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmatus Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Yeah, honestly the Flyers played well though. Both teams played well. It was a good game all around. Certainly it was better than the last few games. And Provorov. Seriously. This kid is going beastmode in front of our eyes. He was dominant every time he was on the ice, and his skill on the PP was elite level. There's no way he's giving up that PP1 spot now. TLC played well as always. Giroux played well. Hayes played well. Niskanen played well. I thought Myers played well also. If he can remain consistent, I think we may have found our missing second pairing dman. So yeah, it may have been a loss, but it was a solid step forward from what they've shown on the ice of late. I'll take it.

Howie58 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Well, at least they showed effort and you can't fault Moose. Still, I grimace when OT approaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 That was the 2nd longest shootout in Flyers history. Which for typical Flyers' shootouts is a win. Just not an extra point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 One point for Giroux, Jake and JVR in the last 3 games...can we disband this sh it line now...because they obviously can't figure it out like AV requested... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately is was a sad sad homecoming for my beloved Gamecocks...they did win would have been bad to lose to the Vanderbilt Commodores. However i am going to the game next weekend vs Appalachian State which is a division 2 team...and they might actually beat USC. They were ranked 20th but just lost to Georgia Southern...so we'll see. And why am i telling about college football i have no idea it 5:30 am and i am drinking my coffee...so yeah...Go Argos!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 2 for 3 already in his young pro career...this from friday's game. And his goal in regulation...8 points 3 goals 5 assists in 9 games...only 4 PIMs... And while we're at it let's make it right. Twarynski just isn't very effective. Give NAK his due call him up and return Carsen. Here he is with the game winner... This team needs more grit in the bottom 6 and Twarynski just doesn't seem ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachX Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 The thing i found most interesting from the game was, the reaction in the stands. Weve all heard about a coach losing a room. Well i think this team has lost its fans. It was obvious the place wanted to erupt, but nothing happened to cause it. It was weird how there was no energy. And when a few good things happened, the applause was brief and uninspired. It wasnt until TK took the ice for the SO, before the whole place was on its feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever been to one CFL game...compared to about a dozen NFL games. It was the 100th anniversary Grey Cup and the tickets were free. I know there's not much comparison between the two. The face value of the tickets though, were $100...compared to what...10 grand for Super Bowl tickets? (ok, slight exaggeration) And there's no Kardashians...just Skatch fans by the truckload, even though their team isn't playing. They're way more fun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it may be the 'corporate crowd' but I do think that the passion has definitely been sucked out of the room of late. I don't go as frequently as I used to but I do get what you're saying. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Philly!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of pro sporting events have gone from being about the game to "spectacles" where the crowd has to be entertained with gimmicks. And the corporate crowd doesn't help. Or the fact that so many people can't stop staring at their smartphones. It also takes the fun out when you need a 2nd mortgage to take the family to a friggin game. Of course winning helps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
