This is the team they are trying to catch. Bruins win by gaining a point. But hey enjoy the win they will be golfing soon. Season is over.

OccamsRazor Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Why does it always seem like the Bruins get the calls? Nevermind it's all in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 If you can hold your opponent to two goals, you stand a chance of winning. Maybe the embarrassment factor was beginning to set in and make them angry enough to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 A win is a win, and the team played well in getting two points. However, I'd hate to rain on their parade, but it was against Boston's 3rd string goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can beat the Bruins without giving up a point than it doesn't matter. Might as well start the fire sale and break out the clubs and get that golf swing in form this isn't a good team. And it will be more of the same next year. Chuckles will do nothing but add his yearly Gustafsson attempt to help. Wash rinse repeat.

How often do you see Bergeron fall down like that? Giving up one point out of that really did them no favors. FORE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be "3rd string" - behind Rask and Halak most goalies are - but he played well last night, extremely well imho. The back-to-back saves he made on Giroux then Konecny were amazing.

mojo1917 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Just three pages, Flyers must have won. Hating the players doesn't have the same urgency after a win, just an observation of a life long fan. We tuned in just in time for the Sanheim winner, like right as he blocked the Bergeron shot. That was cool. Also kind of cool seeing Patrick single leg Marchand after getting pulled down...everyone better wear their cups tonight. I think Todd is going to making some cup checks throughout the evening. It is one of the things I like about Patrick, he does have some punk in his game, the twitter people who also write seemed to think he played well. the twitter people who comment still hate him though so I guess we've reached a stasis there. Since they've had a short break they've played "better". They played well vs the Isles and I'm guessing they played a good road game, only gave up 2 goals, shots looked pretty even. Two good road games Good win ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With rask out with his ackey-breaky back, and halak in covid proto, Vladar should get the start again, but we will have to see what Swayman can do at some point.

A come-from-behind OT win against a "third string" goalie on a team that's been playing .500 since their hot start, based on winning in a 3-on-3 format that isn't going to be duplicated in the playoffs is two points and that's good.

The Bruins have 21 games, play Buffalo six times, Flyers, Rags and Devils twice with 9 games against teams above them in the standings. My take away from this is, if the Flyers handle their business they can make the playoffs and maybe improve their standing to the 3 seed. It's a heavy lift with no room for error, but the team doesn't have to rely on outside forces. Will they do it? It's been a rough year. I won't be surprised if they don't. I don't see where the Islanders or Bruins or anyone actually is sooooo much better than them in the division. The Islanders don't have Anders Lee that's a huge loss for them. He's so good along the walls and in tight spaces there's no one on the Flyers and few guys in the league that can handle him. He's missed and makes that team beatable. I don't think the Bruins are all that either, the Flyers should have 2 more wins vs them this season, 2 head up ass games where they beat themselves in the third period. So maybe the Caps are the juggernaut- but I don't know. I think the Pens might be playing the best right now...What I'm saying is Jim Carey is on to something.
