Podein25 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 With 5 OTs last night and another already today, that's a full extra game played on that ice with Isles vs Caps still to go today. That's a lot of action on that ice in Toronto in a short period of time. Ice is gonna be as soft as @CoachX's brain by the time the puck drops on the Flyers game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Flyers in 6. Price will steal a few. I expect a dirty, knarley, knock down series with multiple OTs. I also think Giroux is due. He's gonna GO OFF!! Great chance for Carter Hart to grow and evolve as a goalie. If he can beat his boyhood idol, he will realize he can beat anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I didn't know about the Price as boyhood idol thing. Are their games the same? I assume so, right. The calm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachX Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 My enthusiasm for this team has made me feel like I've time warped back to the 80's. I remember waiting the entire day with anticipation for that night's playoff game. I just wish I was back on the east coast to really enjoy this. It's no longer Kerr, Tocchet, Propp, Howe and Hexy (let's not forget Dave brown). Now its G, Cooter, Provocop and the kids (props to Nick-NAK cough-cough). Lets just hope this group rewrites the ending for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) This game was waaaay closer than I like. I give Montreal props they have a lot of speed and they work for the puck. Flyers missed some empty nets and that Price lucky stick on that Laughton shot almost into a empty net was the difference in the Flyers winning by 3. Flyers have to find some better chemistry and rhythm during the game. They just still look out of sorts waiting for Giroux, Coots, Hayes, Voracek (sorry i don't believe he touch that first goal) or JVR to finally get on the board. Hart and the Flyers bottom 6 with the defense kept them in this game. At least they won. Edited August 13, 2020 by OccamsRazor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Greetings: This was a messy performance. MTL outplayed us in the second. Niskanen looked a bit discombobulated. Agreed with Occ that our first line needs to up their game. Hart was great, and at least we had a PP goal. That said, the PP does not seem to be clicking. I don't care how you slice it, JVR on the fourth line is not so good. On the plus side, Grant earns his keep, and Thompson works hard. We need to slow these folks up. We have the depth. We need to wear them out. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good sign is the Flyers top players haven't scored yet they continue to win. Hopefully Hart outplays his idol and the Flyers take the Habs out in 4 or 5 games (because of Bettman's gimmick 24 team playoff, the Habs got to play in and they shouldn't have). Nice to see the Flyers getting in Price's face. 3 more to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the Flyers getting in Price's face. 3 more to go! AV has to get the PP going. The way the refs are calling these games it's all ticky tack calls and lots of special teams. Zone entries are fine but the setup is stiff and predictable. They have to get more movement into it. I would get Ghost out there on the 2nd unit at least (I don't think he has seen any PP time really) for that reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they did get one yesterday...but i still wasn't overly impressed with it. Watching Niskanen struggle a little last night (he wasn't alone though) i think it might be time to take him off PP #2. Replace him with Myers. See how Saheim and him perform on the power play for starters. Then maybe flip TK to the 2nd unit with Hayes and let JVR take TK's spot on PP 1. PP1 JVR Coots Jake Giroux Provorov PP2 TK Hayes Farabee Sanheim Myers This would give Nisky a rest and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
