Howie58 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Greetings: The Rangers are significant favorites (-245), suggesting the Flyers are still not getting much bookie respect (for better or worse). Shesterkin is the Ranger starter. I've been both Hart or Sandstrom as potential starters. We go forward and try to earn respect.

I think I would rest Hart no need to run him into the game with so much season left to play. Buy that is me... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of their great looking uniforms, there is nothing likeable about that team.

Howie58 Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's interesting: Looking at basic stats, the two teams are quite similar except for one category--faceoffs. We are pee poor: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phi-vs-nyr/2022/11/01/2022020149 I recall that we did well on faceoffs the last few years--but we had little to show for it. Interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate all NHL teams but the Flyers. Although right now, my hatred extends to Flyer management. It it my contention that the NHL only exists so the Flyers have somewhere to play. I will take this further, not that you asked, but my hatred also extends to Flyer players, even if they are my favorite (E. Lindros), the moment they are traded I hate some teams more than others, but none more than the friggin pengooins, followed closely by Toronto Edited November 1, 2022 by CoachX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another B-2-B this week...makes 3 already. Flyers' goalies will face a tough test whatever night they start. They'll have their hands full with Zibanejad, Panarin, Kreider then Marner, Nylander, Tavares... a good test for Hart/Sandstrom and the whole team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Guess the lines will look something like this... ...not sure who is in net. Flyers in practice Farabee-Hayes-Konecny N. Cates-Laughton-Tippett Bellows-Frost-MacEwen Deslauriers-Sedlák-Allison Provorov-DeAngelo Sanheim-Ristolainen Seeler-Braun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 If we had one or two 30 goal scorers, this squad could be a threat. Now we struggle to be a scoring threat. We are working hard. But we cant challenge our opponents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brink is suppose to be one of those types and the only other one is Forester. But in time I think Allison can be that type of sniper. But he isn't there yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 We may look back at this and say it is everything good and bad about the Torts Flyers. There is effort and good defense. But the offense is lacking. It's too bad Sedlak can't finish--he makes the effort to get good chances. I think Bellows is waived in a month. This team won't get pushed over. But it's not clear they can consistently take the war to their opponent. I don't think Hart and/or Sandstrom are the issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I didn't get to watch enough to even know if it is valid. And when I did I damn near went to sleep. Maybe he is right... "You're not getting me to criticize the hockey club, because I think some guys are growing. As long as I see effort and care and belief in what we're trying to do, I'm leaving the building in a decent mood. And that's how I feel right now." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreaker of a loss in OT but could easily have gone either way. Posts on both sides. Excellent effort, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ya, there's a lack of high end offensive skill on the roster, we all know that. But they are working hard and giving effort. It's far more than we expected this year and it's a good start to a new Torts era. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
