pilldoc Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) So depending on how the Flyers end up today, It has been narrowed down to 3 potential teams the Flyers would face in the 1st Round. Who do you want to face? Regardless of your feelings, who do the Flyers match up better with? As @AJgoal confirmed in another post .... So the Flyers get the likes of either Montreal / Columbus / or Toronto ............ Thoughts???? Edited August 8, 2020 by pilldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) I don’t care who they play as long as they play well. I selected Montreal because I want the Flyers to be the #1 seed in the east. EDIT: I would also like to see A Columbus - Tampa Bay rematch if the Flyers win.

The Habs are clearly the weakest team in that group of three. They got lucky defeating the Penguins. Their luck will run out in round 2, and you want to be that team that gets to face them just as their Cinderella clock strikes midnight and the wheels come flying off.

I didn't watch much if any of the series, but my understanding that goaltending was a factor. Price was excellent and whoever plays goal for the Pens was somewhere between average and not good. What do you mean by lucky? Edit: one of the reasons that first stick down matters is that the guy first down gets kicked out more. This equals faceoffs against lesser opponents and more wins.

Won't be an issue for you guys any longer. 4 hours ago, Podein25 said: What do you mean by lucky? Well unless you believe the Canadiens really were a better team than Pittsburgh. It sure didn't look that way back in March while they were having their fire-sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, did they get outplayed badly but won on a great bounces and/or shoddy Pens goaltending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Just saying, remember what happened the last time the Flyers played a Habs team that had upset the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Greetings: I remember playing them the year before we won our first Cup. We lost in six but knew our squad was on the way up and no longer an expansion doormat. I hope our power play gets untracked. Meanwhile, Farabee is growing up very quickly. We really can roll four lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe this kid was put on waivers to start the season and anyone could have plucked him and now he is playing a pivotal role in gaining home ice advantage through the playoffs.
