What a terrible effort by Power on Cates there.

 

[Adam Warlock]

How the hell are you this far into the season and there is zero effort on the PP to get Michkov the puck down by the goalline? I cant think of one time when anyone tried actually setting him up for a chance.

There is no offensive minds running this pp and its so obvious.

Sanheim is leading the NHL in ES D goals and is 4th in points (top 20 last year). And yet…..

 

[BillDineen]

Peterka has looked good

All thanks to the man who turned Martin St Louis into Martin St Louis. Noone saw anything good coming out of Sanheim. Ever. Evarrrrr

[Hanover Fist]

Emil hurt?

 

[Deadpool8812]

Tippett could have passed it, but hogged it and blew it

 

[Winston Wolf]

All that talk about Tippett changing his blade and the scrub still can't score.

Michkov has some Ovechkin in him. That forecheck with the empty net was the fastest he's ever skated in an NHL game.

 

[TCTC]

Only a serious injury can prevent Michkov from winning the Calder this year.

Funny to think that not winning the draft lottery last year was the best thing that could've happened to the Flyers. Justice for 2017.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Was hoping for a slapper from Konecny there

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

After this game TK and Richard will be the two Flyers averaging more than a point per game.

Generally good effort tonight. Still boring, though.

Fedotov with another solid game.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

That would have been embarrassing if they couldn’t score with the goalie pulled for all that time

 

[Beef Invictus]

UGH I should have taken the bet on the over. I figured 4-3 would be the most likely winning score and I'm stupid so I was wrong, but it still hit 7 either way.

Buffalo isn't the first coaching staff to neglect this, and Fedotov has been improving on this front so I assume our coaches are working with him; but he spends a lot of time using his height to stand tall and look over traffic instead of looking around it. Takes him further from the ice.

Teams with numbers advantages (especially with numbers advantages) should be creating traffic, seeing if he tries to do his tall-mode thing, and then shooting low. Either he doesn't make it in time or he leaves rebounds which I don't think he has the recovery to handle well...tendency to sell out to make first saves. They passed a little too much on a guy who was making good reads and staying on angle all game and for several games running now, trying to beat a strength instead of pounding at a weakness. That entire lengthy 6v5 was poorly conceived by Buffalo, despite their possession.

Michkov is unaware that there are bad shooting angles. This is because I'm not sure bad shooting angles exist for him.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Sanheim was being The Him again, too. Will also shout out Hathaway for doing some things I liked. And, I'm not sure he's done anything blatantly malicious so far this year! That's gotta be a personal record for virtue in his part. Lady Byng candidate?!

 

[TCTC]

Nice to see after signing that big contract Konecny has actually upped his game. Shows that he has the right attitude.
We're lucky some people here didn't get their wish and we didn't trade him for a mid 1st pick and some other crap.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Correct. Wait, can we not peer pressure people on the internet now? The hell is going on anymore?

I blew it

I think most were concerned how the contract will age

 

[TCTC]

Sure, but that's always the concern when you sign your best player long term. It's the price you have to pay.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I think Sanheim is second in goals for defensemen now.

 

[BernieParent]

Sanheim for Norris.

Is Ottawa throwing in a pick as well?

 

[FlyerNutter]

That Michkov move on the 2-0 was gorgeous.

That’s the talent you need more of to win. Not more middle 6 BS.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Looks like the Flyers are 4-0-1 since Richard was called up. He has 6 points in 5 games. He’s 27 years old but the last few years his AHL stats have been very solid. Hopefully this stretch continues for him. I always like when a long shot gets a chance and makes the most of it. It seems the Flyers haven’t had many pleasant surprises in recent memory

well you will be glad to know we are heading towards yet another middle 6 draft pick...


yah team....

 

[deadhead]

Richard is a pleasant surprise, Torts knows his limitations, tells him to score then gets him off the ice. But he knows how to use his speed, just needs to improve his awareness out there, at times can look like a mini-Tippett, except Tippett has size to create havoc, Richard just gets swallowed up.

You can see why Briere looks for speed, they want to play fast, but don't have the horses yet to do it consistently. Carolina will be a good test this week.

Cates is a bit strange right now, he got faster in the offseason, but seems disjointed in that he's trying to be more aggressive offensively but isn't comfortable in that role yet. Did ring a post.

Tiippett - Couts - TK is becoming a real 1st line.
??? - Poehling - Hathawy is a top rate 4th line.
Problem is putting together a 2nd and 3rd line

 

[DancingPanther]

Hey wait I just saw the Michkov/TK goal and that Buffalo player actually threw a hit on Michkov behind the net 2 seconds after the puck went in. Wtf was up with that?
