The key is McKinnon: can Coots shut him down? Going to be hard since they get last line change. So Kase is going to play without practicing with the team AV says. I hope he plays well. That is the 9th rookie the Flyers have played this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheslot Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 * With news breaking of David Kase being recalled and Oskar Lindblom out of the lineup with an upper-body injuries, a few noticeable changes revealed themselves. https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/drop-the-puck-already-flyers-avs/c-312464860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Should be an interesting game. Avalanche look like they are completely healthy and the Flyers will get their full force. Provorov-Niskanen will have their hands full with that top line of Colorado's. Flyers could possibly exploit the Avs bottom pair (Rosen-Barberio) if Philly's bottom six guys can establish a good forecheck and just keep throwing stuff at the net.

Well, on the surface, that WOULDN'T be a good thing....however, sometimes you just never know. While throwing a newbie 'to the wolves' wouldn't be the way most GMs draw up a plan, sometimes, you just gotta know what you have. Your rookies may surprise you (and the organization).

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Man, that's gotta be insult to injury... Matt Calvert is a major pest, looked like he started to get under the skin of the Flyer defense, THEN he goes and scores the opening goal. Flyers best not focus too much on him though....that will play right into Colorado's hands...too much attention on the likes of Calvert, not enough on MacKinnon's line. Can Philly turn up the physical play overall? Turn the game a bit into a grind? That might be the way to go against the Avs. Keep things from becoming a track meet, and take shots whenever they can.... Colorado's defense is susceptible to that sort of tactic. Robert Hagg looking a bit nasty early on against Colorado forwards....that may be a good thing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Sean Couturier single handedly short circuited that Colorado PP. Aggressive PK'ing lead to Landeskog taking a bad penalty. 4 on 4 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Carter Hart playing his arse off. Flyers need to get that young man a goal or two of support. 1-0 Avalanche after 1, but if not for Hart, could have easily been about 3-0 Colorado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they want to be the best they have to learn how to skate with the best. Lucky to be down only one. Hart stood tall and kept them in it. It be nice to get him a goal to work. And two would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Somebody call the Ottawa State Police.... Hart just robbed Rantanen at glove-hand point.... Shame on you, Hart!! Stealing goals away from a starving goal scorer like Rantanen. On a 3 on 1 no less. Game is STILL 1-0 Colorado. Get him a goal or two Philadelphia...….now...

mkscrewy Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hagg in no mans land. 2-0. JVR is just brain dead. He’s skating like a starving zombie. This Colorado goalie has gotten his own share of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayes should have at least been in position to lift the stick on Rantanen….didn't need to "interfere" or take any other kind of penalty, but if ol Purple had his wits about him (he didn't), he could have prevented that easy tap in by the Colorado forward on the Avs' 2nd goal.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Claude Giroux finally gets The Fly on the board.... too little too late though? Philly has 5 mins to come up with two more....and NOT give up anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 In all honesty how much is it going to cost to get rid of JVR? Lindblom and Konecny out and he still can’t crack the top 2 lines. Played with the usual passiveness tonight. Way to give a **** bud! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hart's numbers don't do him any justification...seems he is the only one who came to play. One thing is for certain...Ghost and Hagg are the weak links on the backend...get well soon Myers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
