Pretty entertaining game

Welp.

Took them over 50 minutes to get going again.

Kolosov was fine tonight. I worry about his rebound control and how aggressively he comes out to challenge, but he has the fundamentals to be an NHL goaltender... I like what I see from him more than Fedotov, though they're both works in progress.

Grans played well for an NHL debut. Made some poor choices at the offensive blueline, but jumped into plays well and wasn't totally lost on the defensive zone.

Tippett and Foerster both scoring was hilarious. They were terrible today.

I wonder if Samheim will burn out before Christmas.

Pretty entertaining game

Wat.

Did you only watch the last 10 minutes?

Nice fight from your team in the last 10 minutes.

Sanheim is a total stud. What a player.

Good game, guys. Best of luck the rest of the way and take care of EJ for us.

they better hope Sanheim stays healthy

We would like to politely decline. We would like to stop being the retirement home for Dmen in the twilight of their career

Sanheim has to have a legit chance at team Canada.

[Flyerfan4life]

Owen Tippett stinks right now.

What a disaster.

Haha we had a ton of high quality chances that we didnt bury on.

Seeing Sanheim in his current form and getting to watch MacKinnon and makar put on a show.

Goalies held their ground but the score shouldve been much higher.

A lot more entertaining than our recent wins for me anyways.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Why has Torts put Michkov with a couple of plummers

"cuz this isnt the MM show..."

signed Torts..

Liked what I saw from Grans, some iffy plays at the blue line but that comes with the territory of learning to pick your spots in the nhl. Overall defensively sound though and I really liked his outlet passing and skating. It’s a shame we have slugs like EJ and Seeler here blocking him during our “rebuild”. He seems like the perfect candidate to give a bunch of NHL minutes and see what happens but we know this team will have him toil in the minors for 4 more years then give him away for a 6th round pick.

Really blew a chance to improve our draft, got to kick the Avs while they're down b/c they're sure to string together some wins.

Grans looked much better, people already forgetting how nondescript he was last season. Andrae is ahead in line, so is Drysdale and Zamula. Grans needs to play big minutes in LHV to refine his game and get a shot later this year. He's got the raw tools that made him an early 2nd rd pick, but needs to keep developing. Maybe he's turned the corner, maybe it's a mirage.

Farabee is playing better, that second line with Laughton and Brink has some promise.
No place for Michkov right now, Cates/Poehling/Frost. Richard/Foerster. None are good combos.

Next year probably Farabee - Luchanko - Michkov.
I think Luchanko - Michkov b/c Couts - TK have chemistry going back 7-8 season.

One thing that stood out to me (and Torts in his post-game comments) is how quick Colorado is, well, their top two lines and Makar basically. The Flyers did adjust as the game went along, they started out intimidated for the first five minutes, but eventually counterpunched.

But you can see in a game like this why Briere would be enamored with Jett, and why Richard is getting a long look. TK was the one Flyers who could skate like the top Avs players. Flyers have gotten a lot faster than 2-3 years ago, but still need more overall speed, quickness and agility.
