Howie58 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Greetings: We are the overwhelming favorites (-256). But you wonder if this is another trap game? We are 2-7 versus SJ over the last nine, and 3-13 in our last 16 road games. https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-san-jose-odds-november-7-2023-2016534 San Jose has the worst overall offense, but their PP is middling and they are much better face-off team than the O and B: https://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/philadelphia-san-jose-odds-november-7-2023-2016534 Lateness aside, I may sit this out. This one could get upsetting if we repeat our LA performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes these West Coast gigs have led to bonding and good play. If memory serves, we play well the first game or two, then begin to sour, and the last one shows a combination of fatigue and limited talent. I might ask which team shows? The one that beat Buffalo 5-1, or the one that looked dazed and confused and lost 5-0 against LA? That is a toughie. And it may reflect a young team going through growing pains, as well as being an offensively challenged squad that can only win via tight checking and great goaltending.

I usually worry about East coast teams first game or two on West trip, jet lag. It’s a long day , seems endless as you go some that it’s 3 hours earlier.

Otherwise, a battle of the marginally competent versus the totally incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 If San Jose loses they break the all time record for most losses to begin a season. Honestly I don't know who's under the most pressure, the sharks certainly don't want that ignominy but the flyers certainly don't want to be the first team to lose to them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they move him it should be a lock for the Flyers to at least slide into the top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 By continuously trying in a losing streak, a team always finishes to win at a certain point. So the more the Sharks lose, the higher are the odds of winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking, the Oilers need to make a big change in goaltending, so Hart going to the Oilers would make sense. I believe it's Holland's last year anyways so he won't give a **** about the Oilers future picks he wants to win now. Besides Hart is an Alberta boy and probably would love to play for the Oilers. So I guess we'll see what happens. Besides if the Flyers end up taking back Campbell as part of the deal it would guarantee lots of loses with him in the Flyers net.

The all time record for most losses to start a year which the Sharks have tied is 11, set in 1943-44 by the rangers. No other team has ever went more than 8 games to start a year without a victory. The rangers actually had an excuse, it was the war years and their roster was depleted as players joined the military. Different world.

Yep the Oilers need to make a big trade to shake things up so the Flyers maybe the right trading partner. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
