Howie58 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Greetings: Tampa Bay is a favorite and the computer projection is a 5-1 win. TB has taken 44 out of the last 65 and plays well on Sunday. https://freepicks.picksandparlays.net/more-free-picks/nhl-picks/tampa-bay-lightning-at-philadelphia-flyers-12521-nhl-picks-and-predictions TB will be playing on the second of a back-to-back having beaten Boston in overtime and Vasilevskiy in goal. Maybe we see the Moose. Edited December 5, 2021 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Bolts are the "bear trap" the Flyers are going to walk into. Tampa Bay wins tonight, 7-1. After they lose 6-2 to MacKinnon and the Avs, who while having their own issues are a better hockey team...with or without Makar. I hope the significant trading begins and they don't just can AV. It's the players, though we all know who the scapegoat is for this team....always the head coach.

Howie58 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) We outplay these folks and look engaged. Then we fall behind 2-0 in short order. Am I surprised? No. But it makes me sick to watch. Edited December 5, 2021 by Howie58 Typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Our shot quality stinks. We've outshot them. They've outchanced is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They move the puck with a lot precision, and we don't. Plus, they have guys McDonagh and Hedman who get in the way of shots, using quick sticks and smarts. The Flyers don't have enough players doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have natural goal scorers who go to the net and we have small soft perimeter players who don’t go to the net and have hands of cement. If seen better finishing skills at the local massage parlor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it is coaching, some is just ability and hockey IQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I hear ya Howie - same feeling here. The Flyers generated good-quality chances early, banged on the door 6 or 7 times in a row but came away with nothing. Meanwhile Stamkos takes one harmless shot (nice feed from McDonagh), McD finds the rebound and taps it behind Hart. Unreal. Sanheim has the wheels and instincts to play the way McDonagh did on that goal. Why he can't seem to find either one is hurting the Flyers. Not the only thing of course but Sanheim's lack of involvement should be a Red Flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Ugh...speaking of wheels....they're falling off the Flyers while we watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Thing is, you knew when they had that early mad dash and flurry of shots on Elliott, two were going in the back of our net. That Lightning team knows how to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 lol you kind of felt that was coming right? TB played last night, probably took them the first 10 to get fully engaged. Now they are and it's 3-zip. I won't be a bit surprised if it's 7-0 before this one ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) JC no sooner I finish typing 3-zip now it's 4-0. edit: the only thing that could make it worse = a Flyers' PP. Edited December 6, 2021 by GratefulFlyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 I watch and think one thing: We could have Punch Imlach or Fred Shero as coach, and it wouldn't matter. We have limited talent. AV isn't the problem. Chuck and half this roster should depart. Why I inflict this on myself is crazy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Maaaaaan. What a collection of losers this team is. There is not a single redeeming thing about this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I wouldn't have taken Hart out on that. To be yanked after that and then sit on it is a confidence killer. It's time for AV and crew to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
