Post-Game Talk: #1 | Devils at FLYERS | Thursday, Oct. 13, 2022 | 7:00 pm ET | Win 5-2

[CerpinTaxt]

They got the win so I guess that's good. However it didn't look good. I also didn't expect them to score 5 goals in any game this year let alone the 1st so yay torts?

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Provorov had 10 BS himself.

In terms of energy, probably the Haken game last year which was their Super Bowl.

Good call on the Haken game. You're right, that would be the last time.

 

[Rich Nixon]

pretty disgusted. against a team you're gonna be competing with in the standings all year, that's a can't-win game. do better.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Enjoy it tonight. Devils are getting Bedard.

Stop being negative. What are we Flyer fans?
Oh wait.

I have to hand it to Chuck: he didn't bring up offense all offseason for a reason. He knew.

 

[Striiker]

Provorov +4
Ghost -2.

LOLLLLLL.

@Striiker

 

[Hurricane28]

goaltending the difference. Agree with the earlier point in it felt like early last year. Outshot, out chanced (high danger 5 on 5 double in favor of NJ). Road to 8th or 9th worst rolls on.

 

[pacehimself]

Two words…..

Super Bowl

 

[Hacketts]

Provorov come back szn?

@Hollywood Cannon

Flyers and Eagles both undefeated

One led by Hayes, the other by Hurts.

Neither can pass to save their lives.

Coincidence?

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Big fear is we win too many games like this, dominated but somehow win. Torts won't let us roll over and die this season when it is what we need. Devils gonna get another 1st overall pick and still suck.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

ITYS. This team will be more fun to watch this season.

Now I don't take this win too seriously, it's going to be a work in progress, and they ran out of steam after the first period.
But already the Tort's effect can be seen in TOI:
5x5
Hodgson 4:37
Deslaurier 7:28
and that was with Tippett missing 2+ periods
Only reason Hodgson dressed was Atkinson was out, the alternative was MacEwen (or Marody, or bring up Brooks and move Laczynski to RW).

 

[Tripod]

I got to see good players get goals which was more than I expected when I turned it on.

It won't last, but good for them.

 

[Beef Invictus]

They just need Hart to keep dropping .930s.

Because if they keep doing games like that they're going to have an interesting year.

This very much looked like two teams playing the first game of the season. Lot of slop.

They weren't dominated.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

They weren't dominated.

They were though.

Very similar to the last two seasons at the start of the season.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

They weren't dominated.

They were outplayed by a good margin

What did you tell everyone?

That they would be caved 69%-31% CF while 5vs5? And for SCF%? And for HDCF??

I must have missed that.

 

[Magua]

I don't know if he's injured for any sizable stretch, but I talk about opportunity cost with Tippett, and him sunk costing top 6/PP1 minutes just makes me eye roll. TK, Atkinson, Allison, Laczynski, Brink (injury came in summer to be fair), and Foerster eventually. Two of those guys are surefire top 9 locks. I'd rather see all of them get shots at that usage during his 2 year contract; maybe they will, by choice or not.

Laczynski got shifted to RW with Frost, and away from the Cro-Magnons, and in a matter of a handful of shifts, you went, "Hmmm." You could even roll Frost-Laczynski-Allison. I want to see what we have in a lost season, and I'm quite certain I know what we have in part.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I'm getting quite the kick out of the young woman reporter with the caked on makeup trying to get on camera in the background of every player interview.

 

[Sombastate]

Thoughts from in the stands, haven’t looked at the box score so don’t crucify me:

TK looked good. Provy looked good. Hart would have been great but that first goal was terrible. Otherwise very damn good.

Tony wasn’t awful, he recovered on his terrible pass. Tippet was invisible. I’m assuming he either got benched or hurt?

nic was rough. Hayes moves slower than my 5 day jail sentence for no proof of insurance, but otherwise not terrible.

Happy to get a win after traveling 3000 miles. Hope they lose the next 81

Shit the bed hard for bedard

 

[Striiker]

31.11 CF%
39.99 xGF%
30.77 HDCF%

Yeah, they got dominated.

Luckily for them, TK and Frost saved the day and a few others played well too, so it was still fun to watch.

5 goals on 25 shots is surely sustainable though.
