Howie58 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Greetings: We are underdogs on home ice. We don't play well against this team, and haven't played well against the Metro or East for that matter: https://statsalt.com/games/nhl/11-5-2019/carolina-hurricanes-vs-philadelphia-flyers-prediction-4105/ Let's keep fingers crossed!

They are 3 points outside a wildcard spot. And they need to get this win. It would be really really nice if they can get Giroux and his line going. A lot of room to get better. I would like Hart to show he is back on track he has a chance to give this squad a boost.

OccamsRazor Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It won't be long with the way Frost has been playing to get his chance soon too. He would add even more firepower and get Pitlick out the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmatus Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) 25 James van Riemsdyk -28 Claude Giroux - 49 Joel Farabee23 Oskar Lindblom -14 Sean Couturier -11 Travis Konecny12 Michael Raffl -13 Kevin Hayes - 93 Jakub Voracek I don't hate these, though I would much rather Giroux be put back on the wing. I understand that isn't easy to do given our current lack of adequate centers. On paper, JVR/G/Buzz work quite well as a grinder/playmaker/sniper trio. I kind of worry about their possession metrics though. They'll have to get mostly o-zone starts I think. I also have no idea who is supposed to be able to score on that third line. All three of those guys seem incapable of picking a corner to save their lives. Hayes and Raffl should give plenty of possession to off-set Voracek's tendency to cough the puck, but they're going to need favorable match-ups to score imo. Also, when are folks going to start recognizing our 2nd line is very much our top line? Not that it matters a ton, but I'm certain other teams are cognizant of that fact already and adjusting accordingly.

In fact i really expect it to change in say a week or two and Frost getting the call up. And i'm not even counting on Patrick anymore. By January 2020 23 Oskar Lindblom - 14 Sean Couturier - 11 Travis Konecny 28 Claude Giroux - 13 Kevin Hayes - 49 Joel Farabee25 James van Riemsdyk - 48 Morgan Frost - 93 Jakub Voracek50 German Rubtsov - 21 Scott Laughton - 12 Michael Raffl This is the strongest lineup in my mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think that would make for more favorable match-ups for the "old" top line ? Are we seeing this ? kinda ? I think Raffl would be the best finisher on that 3rd line, even though the other two guys have better shots. Raffl kind of does what needs done. I think Hazey has been good so far, would like to see him shoot more ( obviously ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hazey has been good so far, would like to see him shoot more ( obviously ) I've always been a huge Raffl fan, and I've said as much many times to anyone who wanted to hear it. BUT, a scorer he is definitely not. That's not to say he can't score -- he can, obviously! It's that he really needs everything to sort of break right for it to happen. That said, he does so many things phenomenally well. If he had finish, he'd be a top line player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "third" line has some nice punch to it (not sure I'd use it in the traditional "shut down" third line - might better see your "second" line be that). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Here is WinnersandWhiners Take: https://winnersandwhiners.com/games/nhl/11-5-2019/carolina-hurricanes-vs-philadelphia-flyers-prediction-9380/ Boy, Mrazek was a sieve for us. In Carolina, he is Hasek Redux. Hopefully the Flyers play their best, but Carolina has been a tough opponent of late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
