Howie58 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Greetings: We are mild underdogs against the Caps on some sites, mild favorites on others. Both teams are coming off losses. Statistically, there isn't a lot of difference between the clubs; Caps PP is quite strong: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phi-vs-wsh/2021/02/07/2020020188 It will be interesting to see what kind of performance we get after two losses in which we had leads until late in the game. I have not seen any lineups. Gus may be a "sleeper" PP pick over Ghost. He seems to be better at keeping the puck in the attack zone. We'll see. LGF!

mojo1917 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I thought the Caps would really "jump to" under Lavy. Maybe having 4 of the top guys on the COVID protocols has stunted their "growth". I like the Flyers chances if they continue play the way they have over the last 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Capitals buzzing around the offensive zone. Other than that Ovechkin rising laser, Flyers are holding their own so far, but of concern for Fly fans still: Lack of teeth and snarl in the defensive zone, particularly around Carter Hart. Caps are just being allowed to hang around the netminder too often without paying any sort of price. That's gonna lead to some garbage goals against.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 And there it is...... Caps players walking in at will in the defensive zone, Hart has all sorts of unwanted players around him, now 2-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Flyers come up with a goal. Amazing what can be done when defensemen pinch in and Flyer players actually gain real estate towards the Washington net instead of playing the perimeter game! 2-1 Caps.

Samifan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 NBC line of day by Edzo, “Flyers making one too many passes “ Glad to see people beyond this forum are seeing and saying the same thing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Again..... Flyers gain some ground on the Caps' goal, then able to get better scoring chances, albeit this one was a very sharp angle. But nevertheless, better than low percentage perimeter shots. Laughton squares the game at 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Ovie again, must be nice to have a player that WANTS to SHOOT whenever the puck comes to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the EASY answer would be: "Someone needs to start hitting Ovechkin to slow him down!" Problem is, while the Flyers got a guy or two that can match size with him, those same guys can't quite skate with him. And those that CAN skate with him, don't have near the size needed to take him down. Now you know how other teams felt when Lindros was running over everyone and scoring at will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, but I believe it was a healthy scratch. Also, Flyers knock out Vanacek...in comes the wily veteran Craig Anderson....
