Post-Game Talk: ECQF 3 (Flyers lead series 2-1): FLYERS 1 vs. Canadiens 0, Sunday, Aug. 16, 2020

[Bigb47]

A pretty sloppy game from the flyers and the habs. I’m glad they got the W though. Call me naive but I feel like if they can score a 4 or 5 goal game they will open the flood gates, I’m probably wrong

[Rebels57]

Props to the 1st line. They rose to the occasion. Actually got better as the game went along. Hopefully they break out with a big game 4.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Of note: The top line. Elegant and powerful.

Let us speak not of the bottom lines.

I thought Coots looked really good despite not being on the score sheet. He was in complete control when he was out there tonight.

PP is beyond words bad.

Laughton needs to be dropped into the bottom 6.

Thompson is a black hole.

Hart was steady.

 

[wankstifier]

Ugly... Gostisbehere was certainly better than Hagg. He needs to be back in.

Farabee is better than either Thompson or Grant. He needs to be back in

 

[Rich Nixon]

Thought game 1 was the shittiest I'd feel after a playoff win but hey then there was this one.

 

[DancingPanther]

See how out of focus it is? Even your camera knows Scooby Doo is shit.

[BritainStix]

When Milbury calls you out, you must be uttter trash.

Good job Therrien you useless plug.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

OFFICIAL THREE STARS:

1. Hart
2. Provorov
3. Weber

 

[Adam Warlock]

Both teams keep playing this way, habs win the series. Philly got lucky tonight.

If they can keep 5 on 5 a stalemate and allow their superior talent to come through on the pp theyll be okay. Problem is their pp is trash.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Top 5 movie right there.

 

[Vikke]

And so, we scored a goal. Does anyone actually remember a single chance the Flyers had that felt dangerous? I don't. Not a single one. The goal was fluky as hell. Sure, I'll take it, but this team needs to get its act together in a hurry.

 

[Tripod]

14-2 in our last 16 games.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Outside of Couturier’s line the other forward lines were brutal tonight. The bottom six is very much a problem still. Hayes’ line is starting to become an issue too.

 

[GKJ]

Carter Hart is a precious person

 

[CSKA1974]

Peak Flyers to follow up an eyeball bleeding loss with an eyeball bleeding win.

The good news is they won. The best news is that didn't go to overtime. Because holy f***, right?

they were 5 posts away from being blown out

 

[BernieTheGreat1]

flyers teams in the past were not designed to win games like that. This team is designed and coached that way. Getting the first goal is so huge for this team everygame.

This team was absolutely terrible in every first period they played this year and great in the second and third not sure how protecting a one goal lead is how they’ve thrived or what they should do

 

[JVR21]

Ugly... Gostisbehere was certainly better than Hagg. He needs to be back in.

Farabee is better than either Thompson or Grant. He needs to be back in

Haaaaard disagree.

 

[Rebels57]

Fire Michel

Set Michel on fire.

[Stizzle]

Couturier was a beast tonight. A dog on the puck.

Sanheim & Myers are carrying our blueline.

Carter was Carter.

Free TK from Hayes, please. I've seen enough.

Thompson & Grant are a disgrace as expected.

Laughts was also a disgrace. I'll be expecting much publicity of those facts from the mainstream Flyers media. Hell, Morgan Frost had a bad practice and Meltzer Tweeted about it. What does 75 turnovers by Scott Laughton get?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Why do you hate fun, chase scenes, door shenanigans, hiding shenanigans, jumping into a piano, and Scooby Snax?

Look, I try not to be too harsh, but Fred’s ascot is enraging. That’s his character. He wears an ascot.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Carter Hart does well in a road game.

 

[Starat327]

I'm not sure a defenseman on either team was star worthy tonight, but that was probably the easiest workload Price has had in a loss in his career.

Fair, but conversely, its not as though their D had a heavy workload either. Give to whichever of their kids thought it was a game of 3 bar instead of a playoff game.

 

[AdamParrot]

Unpopular opinion but it's according to my eyes.

This game was fuc*ing boring, yeah, we weren't good, we can be better and we should be better, yeah.
But we weren't worse than Habs overally. This game was just about battles around boards and we were fifty-fifty there. It was about defense mistakes and if we don't count Laughton's turnovers, we were very solid around Hart.

xGF overally: PHI 1.9 - MTL 1.58

But yeah, our lines and PP must be fixed for game 4.

Carter! Hart!
