Howie58 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Greetings: We come into the game as favorites (a bit surprising): https://www.docsports.com/free-picks/nhl-hockey/2021/washington-capitals-vs-philadelphia-flyers-prediction-3-7-2021-nhl-pick-tips-and-odds.html It is Hart vs. Vanacek. We are catching the Caps at the end of a five-game away stretch. Maybe that compensates for our deflating loss on Saturday. https://novacapsfans.com/2021/03/06/washington-at-philadelphia-series-preview-capitals-and-flyers-face-off-three-times-this-week/ Edited March 7, 2021 by Howie58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Flyers didn’t seem to have anything in the tank for the third period yesterday. Hopefully having 3,000ish fans back in WFC and playing in front of home fans for the first time in almost a year will give them the juice they need tonight. I wonder if we will be able to hear those in attendance screaming “Shoot” tonight? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 I hope Hart plays a good game on a number of levels besides winning. We can't rely on Moose too much. Another angle: Do we have a good spot starter in the wings if needed. Would we want to rely on Lyon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 that looks like a game we lost by 7 goals... that's what you want? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Yes. If they beat the snot out of the Caps I'll take a loss to be entertained with some old time Flyer hockey Its an interesting question... would you (not you specifically) much rather watch a fight filled, chippy game that the Flyers lose or A 3-1 win, with 2 penalties for each team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) I’ve never liked Jake and G on the same line. Only leaves one forward that would ever consider shooting. Edited March 8, 2021 by Samifan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJeremy Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 21 minutes ago, CoachX said: I don't like them on the same team Good one..., how about that interference call on Konecny. I understand we live in a pussified society these days but it is beyond comprehension that a penalty was called on that play. They have taken almost every physical aspect out of the game already , there’s barely any hitting , now it’s a penalty for being competitive. If this is the new NHL and it gets any worse, I will not watch any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s improving, he usually turns it over just as he hits the blue line. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Hartnell as a player , he seems to have a lot of personality on the ice, but he is a colossal bore as a commentator. I guess that fits right in with the current brand of Flyers hockey. Joe Biden has more life to him than this team and he is a better commentator than Hartnell.

Howie58 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Quick Take: 1. Samsonov > Hart! 2. The "great out of the gate" followed by lackluster second and third periods raises questions about conditioning and pacing. 3. Our D from within 20 feet is unsound. You'd reckon on a goal from Ovie. But one from a guy who hasn't scored in (if I heard right) 150 games... Agreed with others that Hartnell is not a great add. Thank G_d for Taryn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkscrewy Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 once again our inability to score on a pp hurts us. i don't think this team is going very far this year being in the bottom 1/5th of the league in both pk and pp unless they get their **** together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
