Howie58 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Greetings: We are going into this matchup as a "homedog," with the Bruins at -135: https://www.thespread.com/nhl-articles/020321-bruins-vs-flyers-2-3-21-nhl-betting-predictions. Another pundit likes our chances: https://sportschatplace.com/nhl-picks/2021/02/03/philadelphia-flyers-vs-boston-bruins-nhl-picks-odds-predictions These are two hot clubs. It is a benchmark to see how we've improved from our first two against them. LGF! Howie Edited February 3, 2021 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense is back to normal capacity. Only missing Couturier now. This is a good test for them and I'm sure they will come out flying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Fletcher is not happy with level of forward support on D. He isn't pleased with transition but had good things to say about our 4th line, which deserves it. CF says the team finds a way to win. I was thinking about our first round picks over the last decade and wondering if they are jinxed? The news on Frost is sad. Apparently, Rubstov is a bust in the KHL. Sam? PTL for Provo, Scott, and hopefully, Farabee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he may never be a high end forward maybe a bottom 6 type like Scott Laughton maybe. But to think they could've had Brett Howden or Tage Thompson. Then follow it up the next round with Laberge and could've had Alex Debrincat or Sam Girard will always leave a sore spot. But hey at least they got the next pick right with Carter Hart.

Howie58 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Apparently it is Rask vs. Hart. By the way, it's interesting that Taryn Hatcher gives in-game odds during the first intermission. I suspect the volume of online wagering is going nuts during the pandemic. Comcast offers bandwidth, so they aren't detached outsiders. Edited February 3, 2021 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured i would to....man after suffering through this past season from the Eagles i figure Flyers could help ease some of the frustrations....Flyers to the Eagles...."Hold my beer...." Hart needed to make that stop though. He just hasn't found his groove this year. I hope he can work his way back into the guy we have seen play so well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 When the flyers practice, anyone else think it might be a good idea to use pucks? Maybe shooting and passing won't be so clearly foreign to them in actual games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realize with the replay that the puck went in off of Provorov's stick. Ivan now has as many goals into his own team's net this year as he has put into the opposition's basket. SMFH can't catch a break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Flyers playing WAY too timid out there. I realize the Bruins as a team probably outsizes them, but that doesn't mean they can't play with some aggression. I mean, I have observed Flyer players actually AVOIDING contact...even if it means giving up the puck. Eso no es muy good..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 NAK has been taking the body pretty good this game i wouldn't might pushing him up the line up to see if he can make some space for the top line and maybe score a goal with some more skilled guys.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Flyer PP. Despite being mostly outplayed and definitely out-muscled, Philly finds themselves with a real nice chance to tie things up and frustrate the Bruins, believe it or not. Imagine being Boston, doing all you've done here, and still being up only 1-0 past the halfway point in this game. Now it's on the Flyers to do damage with this man advantage. Let's see what they got. Edited February 4, 2021 by TropicalFruitGirl26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
