Post-Game Talk: #62 | Blues at Flyers | March 4, 2024 | Shootout loss (2-1)

[jjniner]

Great game.. as a Blues fan the only reason we are half way decent is because of Binnington’s stellar play. You all deserved the two points tonight. Good luck going forward.

Cates, Poehling starting in OT Wonder why we do'nt get no offense

 

[Beef Invictus]

Alas!

 

[trostol]

Cates Poehling and Hathaway getting more time that Frost and Brink is mind numbing

 

[Winston Wolf]

Would've had a better result if Seeler was available to start the OT with Poehling and Cates.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

3v3 hockey is unwatchable

 

[GKJ]

No one can convince me Couturier isn’t injured. He had the 4th lowest ice time among forwards.

 

[trostol]

some of the teams below us need to step up lol

 

[bennysflyers16]

3v3 hockey is unwatchable

Especially when we start our potatoes and can’t touch the puck.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

If either of them used the word "relieved" in such an instance after a mundane loss to a mediocre team, knowing the schedule that awaits, they should be embarrassed.

 

[mr4tno]

Coots awful. Stall worse.

Followed by Atkinson

Especially when we start our potatoes and can’t touch the puck.

There is no universe where Cates and Laughton should see the ice in 3v3, let alone together. Of course, there is no universe where Laughton plays 21+ minutes. That is not a team destined for a long run in the playoffs, bt we will buy anyway....

Edit: Poehling

 

[Adam Warlock]

The propaganda in postgame is unbelievable. Theyre 100% resigning Seeler and buying trash.

FLA 1st for Josh Anderson.

 

[Winston Wolf]

"Did you hold your breath about Nick Seeler, wondering if he was going to come back in the third?"

"Nope. I knew he was coming back."

 

[mr4tno]

Tbh, Couturier has been pretty invisible for awhile

Since about October 11th

Poehling Cates Hathaway Laughton... these guys have all been solid. They're not the problem we've got with scoring lately. Foersters the only scoring forward thats stepped up instead of down in TKs absence. Shouldn't be starting OT with the grinders though, regardless. With that space, you gotta give your talent a spot to shine and snap out of the funk - see ice veins Frosty in shootout.

On D, Sanheim and Walker had solid games. York stood out... as did Staal...

With all the injuries, I'm mentally prepared for the selling of no players. I'll keep enjoying what this group of guys has done all year and keep hoping we make the playoffs, it's been an unbelievable season.

 

[mr4tno]

"Why no Laughton in the shootout?!"
-Scott Hartnell

Definitely my major takeaway. The analyst the (bad) STHs deserve.

Hartnell is why they are taking hitting out of the game. It produces morons

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

I was passively watching. Was Brink injured? Should have been in the shootout imo.

Whatever.

I was semi passively watching. I think you nailed it.

 

[bennysflyers16]

"Did you hold your breath about Nick Seeler, wondering if he was going to come back in the third?"

"Nope. I knew he was coming back."

But he didn’t come back , and his foot is clearly broken.

Look at the upcoming schedule, you need more than hope to make the playoffs.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

It's gotta be nursing an injury.

Last time he went over 20 minutes was January 23rd. He was doing it regularly up until that date. He started dropping to the 16-18 minute range from that date to since February 12th up until now he’s been in the 12-16 minute range.

I don’t know if he’s hurt &/or running out of steam. They went pretty full on to start the year with him. They didn’t ease him back to start. Either way it doesn’t actually bode well for the outlook of the team going forward not just the year but beyond it too.

If they can sell 3 pieces and still make the playoffs - awesome! If they end up with the 14th pick cuz they miss, fine too.

Danny really has to be realistic

Thankfully, I went to the movies and saw Dune pt 2 tonight.

and i think an issue..because he won't be scratched and he won't take himself out

Journey/Toto for me tonight musical brother

It's a tough spot to be in, I guess. I'd like to sell the pieces, but unless 1sts are coming back, and with Drysdale, Seeler, and Risto out, how does anyone realistically expect management to commit to trotting out Zamula, Staal, Attard, and Belpedio as our bottom 4 while were 6 points into the playoffs? It's just not gonna fly, regardless.

We can handle the attrition up front of losing Laughton, though. Do you guys think he can garner a 1st rounder? Honestly, I have no idea.
