eleven24 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 What I want to see today: 1. Aggressive forecheck. Don't get so worried about getting caught in deep that you're not forcing turnovers with your speed & aggression on the forecheck. Pressure everywhere below the dots. Relentlessly. Forecheck. Rinse. Repeat. 2. Keep it simple. No east-west passes at either blue line. If pressured, get to the red line and get it deep. Shoot the puck and drive the net for rebounds. 3. Get dirty. Drive hard at the net. Get into the corners. Throw the body all over the ice. Little constant bumps are just as good as highlight level hits. Do all 3 of these and the Flyers will be dictating play, rather than reacting. When they play like that, they can compete with anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see what you mentioned of course but they need better puck control cleaner passes to handle and try not to wait to pass at the last second pass when the opportunity presents itself to have the best path and for the receiver to be able to receive under control and go, to create less bobbling of the puck. It is one thing the Isles did made nice crisp passes and they received it while making quick decisions. Basically the Flyers need to play like they have played hockey before....professionally.

mojo1917 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Day drinkin' hockey mule for me. ! Bourbon, ginger beer ( go Couturier/Giroux), lime juice, rocks. Blackback Bourbon from Silverback Distillery. Best craft bourbon I've had- I haven't had many- but it is smooth and delicious with a butterscotch/caramel? finish....it's almost a shame to mix it with anything. https://www.sbdistillery.com/shop/blackback-bourbon I'd like to see the @eleven24 prescription filled dutifully today. I would add, trust the goaltender. Kid's good, he's got you. The thing about worrying about getting caught deep in the o-zone with the Islanders is those dudes with the wheels can finish- It's a legit concern. Carter's got to be sharp. Take a hit and make the play boys ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkscrewy Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I'm at work today. I may just buy a cheap bottle of bourbon to drink at my desk since operating heavy machinery while there's a game on is too distracting. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agree with others' suggestions of taking a look at Frost in for Thompson. Maybe try swapping him in/out with Grant on the 3rd & 4th line to see what works best.

Can't afford to have a guy out there skating in circles waiting for the others to do the work and get him the puck. The Flyers need nose to the grind stone group vs these guys. Unlike Montreal they have the finishers to make you pay for your mistakes. No time for passengers. I think JVR's Flyers career should be over going forward. He just doesn't fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
