Would have loved to see NAK inserted there. I can just picture him having some huge 2 or 3 goal game and never looking back. He needs just a bit more confidence and he can become a legit secondary point producer. He has all the intangibles, tenacity..solid shot...nice hockey sense. He just has to put it all together. A LOT of guys playing pure old school Flyer hockey...NAK, Cooter, Konency, Laughton, Grioux (some of the time...lol). Even Grant and Thompson make thos team much tougher to play against. That is a **** of a lot of forwards playing inspired hockey. This group is gonna punish an opposing defense in a 7 game series!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 So....if we beat Tampa tonight, its 100% locked into a 7 game series with the Habs. If we lose to Tampa we play the winner of Toronto and Columbus....correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I won't argue NAK has earned it, maybe his effort per dollar playing on the same line will shame JVR into at least breaking a sweat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color of the jersey you wear on a given night?? I hope once the playoffs actually start we all only hear the home team goal song/horn when they score....otherwise there is nothing to give the home team that feels like home at all.

Last change, which is actually a pretty big thing when you're looking to match Couturier against Kucherov/Bergeron/Mathews etc. Other than that, there's no crowd to energize, so the effect is minimized. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it can work in the Flyers favor. So a win today would be huge. I would love to win this #1 overall seed. Winning always makes things better.

OccamsRazor Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 So the Flyers went 0-2 vs the Bolts. In the first meeting they lost 1-0. On the lone Maroon goal. Kase (6th NHL game) and Friedman (3rd NHL game) were in the lineup then. Hart in goal stopped 27 of 28 shots. And in the second meeting the Bolts beat the Flyers 5-3 (5th goal empty net) for their 10th win in a row. The Flyers were still trying to find their footing and struggled with this team 5 on 5 but their PK shut the Bolts down on 5 tries. The Flyers got the power play going scoring on 2 of 5 attempts. Hart only stopped 19 of 23 shots. I think the Flyers are a much better well rounded team now than this med February meeting. I expect AV to try and matchup the Coots line vs the Palat, Point and Kucherov line and try and shut it down. Should be a very very good game. I think Hart is playing the best hockey of his young career and will be up for the task. Flyers will need everyone rowing at the same time to slay this dragon. Go Flyers!!!!

It means opposition center is first stick down. This may seem trivial, but it ain't. I've been watching faceoffs and with our guys being the best in the league, that little advantage is enough to put us into the 60+% mark. The translates directly into possession and it removes scoring threats from lost faceoffs in our end. In short, it's actually bigly yuge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not its the tactical side of it I hadn't even considered like last line change. And sides of the ice the start on and finish on within proximity to the bench. Just win baby!

Little bit hungover today: Edit: one of the reasons that first stick down matters is that the guy first down gets kicked out more. This equals faceoffs against lesser opponents and more wins.
