TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 How about that,e h? Grudging congrats to the Flyers....they bent...a LOT, but did not break. They were on Kucherov's and Point's grills all game long, not letting them do what they do....the defense played reasonably well, Hart looked engaged. Cates, Konecny, Allison, Sanheim, DeAngelo....all good games. Bolts are slowly coming together, but not quite there. Not taking away from the Flyer win, mind you....your boys in orange passed a big test. Lightning need some more simmering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Holy ****, what an effort. That’s, (checks notes) three games in a row where they haven’t **** the bed in the 3rd period of a game! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as one of the announcers said tonight, the Flyers are playing defense by committee. And it seems to be working. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even forgot about him....Flyers best forget about him too. He could be the BEST popcorn server ever though.... Seriously though...the defense looked very sound, very solid, nothing stupid, nothing flashy.... just a good brand of defense. I'm not sure Risto can adhere to that.

Might need help getting the couch out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked good other than that and blocked a few shots that took some guts. I am not a Seeler or Braun fan. I would prefer Risto to either one of those two.

Ya that thought has crossed my mind too ... the D is shaping up quicker than I thought possible. But when Ristolainen comes back it all goes to hell. Ha...maybe not. On a side note I'm impressed by the chemistry that Konecny and Laughton have developed. Not just the shorty the other night but 5 on 5 they're finding each other regularly. It'd be nice to keep them together but I imagine once Atkinson is back the lines will shift to accommodate him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braun is old as dirt and slow, but he was pretty decent last night, especially late in the game. Lots of battle there, which is all you can ask for really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Seeler and Braun have played pretty well in all 3 games. Probably neither one should be in an NHL starting roster but - credit where credit’s due - they’ve held their own so far. Personally I’m kinda dreading the return of RR. The “Tortorella effect” is working better than expected with one notable exception: it hasn’t made a dent in Hayes’ game. Ristolainen will probably be impervious to it as well. I hope he proves me wrong. The rest of them look like they’re working on a fresh start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 So far you have to like the effort and enthusiasm of this team as compared to teams in previous years. Two comeback wins and only 6 goals against in three games, unheard of. I like what I see but eventually the lack of legit top line talent will catch up to us. We really don't have a true first line center even if Coots comes back, he is really a #2 center, Hayes is a #3 and Frost is a potential #2, but that's a long way off. Aside from that, DeAngelo is not a first pair dman either, Provy is definitely a second pair guy with first pair potential. So as usual we have guys taking on roles they are not suited for. We have some solid 2nd, 3rd and 4th line wingers but do we have any real legit first line wingers? Atkinson, TK and eventually Farabee might be considered first line wingers if they can get 30 plus goals . If Allison turns into Tim Kerr , he certainly has the size and the shot or if Tippett becomes a sniper ,other than that,we don't really have any other offensively skilled guys on this team. We are winning through hard work and a total team effort which is reminiscent of past Flyers teams. I don't think we will make the playoffs but at least we have a team that will put in a good effort every night and we have some good young players to root for instead of watching guys stiffs like Thompson, Brown, Brassard etc. I would like to see Braun eventually phased out by mid season and replaced with Attard or York and JVR traded. Even if we finish in the bottom five at least there is some level of excitement and the games are actually watchable. I'd rather lose with the young guys than lose with the old stiffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
