That's rare. Most of the time you don't notice him when he's on the ice. I keep hoping he'll show some of his latent talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I wonder if he'll require a rest now and then? He's had a rib removed and was on drugs designed to kill humans, for a long time. He might be far more effective if he can take a game off every now and then at least for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen the Flyers give a guy more opportunities than this guy and he's failed time and time again. If Alexandre Daigle had been given this much ice time, put on the top PP, slotted with the best offensive players on the team and never benched for lackadaisical play, he'd been at least adequate. Patrick may go down in history as the most pampered and yet worst 1st round Flyer draft pick ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Watching that 3rd period I was wondering if Nick Leddy is way faster than he looks when you're on the ice with him. On the rushes he led, he barely looked like his legs were moving, yet he was blowing past everyone on the ice. I don't know if it's a situation where guys are changing direction and he is just charging or what, but on 2 of the goals against his speed and the moment's indecision about whose man he was were killers. The Flyers were still playing pretty well in the 3rd. Hart let them down. 2 of those goals were of the "dammit" variety. I hope he gets his act together soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the smelling salts that are responsible for the bounce back after 3-3 ? or AV givin' the boys a bump on the bench? Our guys still had plenty of jump and won a lot of battles once they were tied and regained the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Also how about ol' JvR throwing an open ice hit on Matthew Barzal when he had the puck and was getting ready to deal? I was like who did that? When I saw 25 getting up, I thought, that's a lot of dude to fall on you if you're Matt Barzal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart's bad reaction on and to the first goal gave the Islanders life. and then all the stuff I said about Leddy's speed maybe catching some people off guard? They (the Flyers) were winning the 3rd period, even when the Islanders were scoring, it wasn't that the ice was tilted towards Hart and he was under siege. Hart's poor play let the Islanders back in the game. I will say at 2:30 when the Isles pulled the goalie, the Flyers were under siege but still kept a lot of pucks from getting on net.

This is the part where I say the fundamental problems with this team came out again. They can't seem to play a full 60 mins ( or even 6 mins vs. Rags). Even Jonesy and Jackson were commenting on how well they played, then just fell apart inexplicably. They also cannot protect a lead. This team needs to play desperate and aggressive the rest of the way. They cannot just sit back and play defense. They just aren't good enough. What I saw was an Isles team make a push, and the Flyers panicked and stopped playing the way they had all game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart is also dropping down when it’s him against the shooter, stand the hell up and challenge , how do you get beat over your shoulder from 10 feet out, that should never happen. Play the Brodeur hybrid, stand up cut the angle down and when the puck is in tight ,then go into the butterfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
