What the hell was that. Puck watching. Seems as though Jake and JVR are still on holiday. And although unpopular, Farabee looks lost out there.

Myers being with Sanheim isn't the most ideal duo....Travis isn't good in his own end at times...very soft and still learning to himself. It happens while learning on the job.

OccamsRazor Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 At least Hart looks like he is ready...then will need him... Come on Flyers they need to go into the locker room and regroup. Not a smart play by Sanheim there while i was typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucson83 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) i just dont think this team can compete with the caps yet, but we will get there. they have a great record for a reason.

OccamsRazor Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 That 3rd line just isn't working. I really don't know what to do with Voracek. He just doesn't belong here anymore.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmatus Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) Much better second period. After the first, I thought this was just going to be a complete disaster. Myers is tracking well on Ovechkin. He's impressing me more with every game. Edited November 14, 2019 by elmatus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got caught waaaay out of position on the goal but otherwise he has looked pretty decent. He just has to remember his main responsibility before free lancing. I would love for him to keep his goal scoring streak going tonight they need a spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to give him some passes though as he figures out the game at this level. Overall, he has really fit into this roster without much issue. He already looks more rounded at the position than most of the existing d-corps. It's a small sample size of course, but I'll take it. I think it's notable how lost the defense looked in the few games prior to his addition. Then he shows up and suddenly things get measurably better. He's not all to thank for that of course, but it seems very fair to give him his share of it. For me, he's been the best Flyers dman on the ice not named Provorov or Niskanen. That's not nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree too. I really would like for his partner to come around...it would help...but Travis is struggling and no his offense has disappeared as well. Sanheim has only 2 points in the last 10 games....and pointless in the last 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 At this point this is a game i would be happy just getting a point in and forcing OT. This is the best team they have faced this year hands down so far. A very aggressive and good skating team. Hart is doing all he can to keep them in this. I would love to earn a point. Let's do it guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineFlyFan Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 maybe its the Mt. Gay extra old talking....but this is BY FAR my favorite game of the season so far.... WELL EARNED POINT! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I am proud of them for earning that point. The Carter Hart Point ™ They damn sure did. Hart was brilliant. One goal on 36 shots tells me so. Plus that shiny 972%. I would have went with the game winner from last shootout is my complaint. Jake to start of all people? I would have went Farabee Giroux Coots. Anyways hard earned point with the top team in the East. Rest up boys. Edited November 14, 2019 by OccamsRazor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Wow i learned something this morning...i don't know how i didn't know this but i didn't. I didn't know Chris Stewart had a brother who was also a former 1st round pick (bust) for the Florida Panthers. Drafted with the 25th pick in 2003. Learn something new everyday.

RonJeremy Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 We came back strong in the second part of the game and could have won it, nice job. One thing that concerns me is ,if we face a team like Washington or Boston in the playoffs, I don’t think we are physical enough to win a 7 game series. There was a particular play last night where Ghost was manhandled behind the net by Wilson . Washington has some big skilled guys Oshie ,Ovechkin and Wilson can no longer be called a goon , he can play. Twaryinski , Anrdreoff. and Raffl have some size and grit but they are 4th liners.

The best thing that can happen is for the young guys on the blueline to play and get better....only way to do that is play and get coached up. So it's a on going process a lot to get better at for sure but to get points now in 7 straight games. 8-2-2 since October 21st. That is progress they can be proud of Hart and worked his save percentage to 904 now. Goals against is down to 2.53 and that only comes from continuing to grind and work on their play. I still think the 3rd line needs to be reworked it just hasn't been very effective. The rest of the lines did pretty well and they reduced Andreoff's minutes a lot last night he only skated around 5 minutes. Unless he got hurt which i didn't hear or see. Any word on him. Figures @CoachX talks him up and even dedicates a thread to him and jinxes him.....damn him!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this group isn't going to get physical overnight they are who they are right now they will need some kind of trade to make that happen. Not sure who they can get to add that missing element.
