I see lots of other problems with our team game, but much of it can be addressed through simplification and a stronger commitment to better gap control and better puck support. can you elaborate? other than what you pointed out regarding short passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep it till the Isles converge on them and the window to make the pass has shunk immensely or is not even there and then they'll try and force it and send a sloppy hard to handle pass to the guy with a lot of times it being in their skates. With all due respect there is not a pro hockey player on the planet who will not make a pass that is available to them in the manner you describe. It's a fast game, maybe they don't see what you and I see on the TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol By simplify I mean the shorter, more high percentage passes, not forcing things through any skates or bodies. This requires people in position to take these passes and to support them additionally, of course (see: puck support), because the guy receiving them usually does not have lots of time. But it relieves pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Not sure i will be able part take in any hockey watching I will be at the Lake house till Sunday afternoon. Maybe I can catch the game once I get back home Sunday night. However I will be supporting them by drinking a lot of bourbon while enjoy the time with the family. Go Flyers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see wisdom in multiple guys not getting all tied up in front of the net, trapped as it were, but yeah get thee to the net should be part of the key messages to the boys if I'm AV.

Podein25 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm calling Game 3 for the Flyers on account of I will be rocking the "Sanheim" t-shirt courtesy of @mkscrewy (sorry man, people deserve to know). I will also be completely blasted on bourbon, so I won't care when they blow a 3-0 lead again and lose in OT on an offside goal.

MaineFlyFan Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I actually like the fact we had a few days off in this series!......(DO NOT like the reason of course). I'm hoping the Flyers come out with a fresh "approach" to the Isles and Hart is ready to ROCK! Basically we're playing a 5 game series now.... Clean slate in a way. LETS GO FLYERS!

OccamsRazor Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So the Flyer series still has a set of back to backs. It looks like who every comes out this series will be pretty tired for a Bolts team rested and waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevluk Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Anyone else think they should have challenged the goal as offsides?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevluk Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Doesn’t really matter. Flyers deserve to lose this game and the series so far. Outplayed and outhustled and outclassed in every facet of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkscrewy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 it looks like we scored a goal then decided to play defense and keep it close, no matter the score.

eleven24 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I still say this team plays a period and then looks gassed. Physically, mentally, not sure which, but they just can't keep up. This is the 9th playoff game & I can't remember a full game effort yet. Heck, I'll take a 2/3 effort at this point. They're getting embarrassed, but thanks to Carter Hart these games aren't blowouts.

Hart is the only reason this is a series but he isn’t going to steal it for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time the Islanders were demonstrably offsides, the officials ignored the evidence and gave the Flyers a penalty instead. I guess it made them gun shy.

Digityman Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Can't play for just 20 minutes. TK is snakebit. If it weren't for Hart it would be 3-0. Sunday is must win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart is the only reason this is a series but he isn’t going to steal it for us. Exactly , we were also outplayed by Montreal. From the looks of things , nothing is changing. We are not winning this series. So let’s start discussing how in gods name we are gonna improve the team for next season. Giroux, Voracek and JVR are not going to step up their games and their skills will continue to diminish. So we can’t count on them to provide the offense moving forward.We need a couple of ringers on this team to provide the offense. So barring a UFA signing and unloading a big contract, I guess we have to hope that Patrick, Lindblom and Frost can step in and and provide some speed , scoring and puck skills. It’s wishful thinking that three young guys , one without a lot of experience , one recovering from cancer and one with migraines are gonna come in and light it up, but other than those guys, we don’t really have any other offensively skilled prospects who are NHL ready . Konecny , Aube Kubel and Farabee also have to take the next step in their games. Other than that , I do not see any offensive spark coming from anywhere else, unless the Swedish kid we signed turns out to be an offensive dynamo . As LT Colonel Trautman said...It’s over Johnny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
