GDT: #55 | Flyers at Maple Leafs | February 15, 2024 | 7:00 PM | NBCSP

[Fire Tortorella]

Hartnell is impossibly bad at this.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

You guys remember Bryan McCabe? The Flyers worked him so hard during that 2004 playoff series...he was a disaster

Ragnarsson and Markov were among the workhorses that series.

 

[Jack Straw]

I was today years old when I learned that Andy Frost is Morgan Frost’s dad. Hmm.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh man I thought that caught his face watching live

 

[Cody Webster]

I dunno why Lycksell is on the team if Torts has no interest in playing him. Get Allison or Laczynski up instead.

They're afraid to dress him in road games against big, tough, teams, or so I've been told

 

[Deadpool8812]

Ragnarsson and Markov were among the workhorses that series.

We had some good defensive depth, and for some reason Clarke thought it was a good idea to trade a few defenseman that deadline. Then we ran into injuries on the blueline during the playoffs which pretty much killed us

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Solid road period

 

[Cody Webster]

There's still tickets available for the outdoor game?

Not surprised

It's a gimmick game in a shit hole city inside a boring ass football field. It'll probably be half empty

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Giordano looks like he’s 55 years old. Just like the number on his sweater

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Loved Danny Markov - guy played so hard every night and Ragnarsson was so steady. Can't believe that was 20 years ago damn I'm old...

That was a freak show of injuries for the defense. The initial injury to Desjardins could have been catastrophic. In the long-run, trading Justin Williams for Danny Markov was damaging but short-team Markov was arguably the Flyers best d-man that post-season. Getting Vladimir Malakhov helped as well. The D appeared to be set even without Weinrich as a complimentary player and Therien as filler. But then Desjardins fracturing his arm late that regular season could have been a death sentence for an elongated PO run. Losing Kim Johnsson with the broken hand in the opening round was another blow though he returned even at less than capacity. Sami Kapanen playing D?! They took Tampa Bay to a 7th game with Matty Timander (another good acquisition), Markov, Malakhov, an injured Johnsson, and young Seidenberg and Pitkanen. Incredible when you think of Desjardins and the difference he would have made.

That goal against New Jersey! Killed the demons or Devils in this case.

And Meadowlands has popular harness racing that night, too.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I am extremely confident in saying that Nicky D is the worst skater in franchise history. He can not dress anymore , play Ollie or Allison.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Tippett has been a train wreck today.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

That's right Hartsy you know all about falling down...

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Can we elect to go on the PK instead?

 

[Magua]

Tippett whiffs and falls down leading to a dangerous chance:

Frost makes a mistake:

 

[bennysflyers16]

Frost is so god damn good.

 

[BigToe]

So tired of Tippett as a half board guy

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Not a bad kill by the Flyers' PP.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Tippett at the top of the circle on the PP is infuriating.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Only chance I thought we were gonna score on that PP was on a Drysdale screen

 

[tictactoe]

that PP needs some blue pills.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Haven’t scored yet, but the last three PPs have actually looked fairly decent.
