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

I’m also hoping that after this first round the ice won’t be in as bad of shape as obviously less games will be played. What’s with the PP? G has been a top playmaker on the man advantage for a decade and all the sudden he can’t get points? That doesn’t seem right

 

[Rebels57]

Laughton must have won and suffered brain damage in the process.

 

[Rebels57]

4th line getting so much time is not all bad. It’s not like the top 6 is doing anything, although they could use the reps. And we do have a back to back the next game. So the rest isn’t the worst thing.

Dont polish that turd.

Kotkaneimi looks like that episode of beavis and butthead when they glue the Barber hair to their faces to get beards

 

[Appleyard]

They had a 2-on-0 inside ten feet in the final minute.

Lucky not to go to OT on that play alone.

Kotkaniemi? Haha. True. like 8ft. But only one of the game.

 

[Lord Defect]

Real Great Danes have a lifespan slightly longer than a house fly, but we’re stuck with that van of losers for decades. I’m appropriately bitter for the situation.

How do I use the ignore feature guys?

 

[Starat327]

God this explains everything about this game.


Yet again we have to overcome horrible coaching decisions.

You take that back.

Av is life.

 

[trostol]

ok..off to watch Lovecraft Country

The Habs didn't have the same energy tonight as they did in Game 2. If they did, they would have walked all over the Flyers today.

It was a pretty easy, boring game for both teams, unlike Game 2 where the Habs had an extra gear.

Still waiting for that extra Flyers gear...

It's not about effort or "gears". This is what the coaches want. They chose this pace and style.

We have one legit line, a line that should've been broken up long ago, and two 4th lines. Then our top pair has a corpse and our bottom pair is absolute trash. We've dumped our speed and skill (Farabee, Frost, and Ghost) for heavy and stone-handed (Grant, Thompson, and Hagg). I repeat: the 4th line led the team in 5v5 icetime tonight.

A coward play-style that tries not to lose instead of tries to win. That's the problem. We won this one but if drastic changes aren't made then we're f***ed.

Ice probably contributes to that.

I saw a defenseman who played it simple instead of getting exposed each and every time he's on the ice. When Ghost has the puck in the corner my heartrate is comparable to a breakaway on Bryz. What was he, minus-5 last game?

What about the sequence where Hagg missed Braun on the half wall while neither was pressured, it resulted in 45 seconds of offensive pressure and multi high danger chances and then Hagg iced the puck with a tired unit on the ice at the end of the flurry. Does that increase your heart rate?

Couts is great, I see no flaws in the line up. The cup should be a lock.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

What does the bolded mean here? This phrase has could mean absolutely anything at all.

He can clear the crease and he can use his body to pinch people off in the corners and take the puck, he did it a few times this game.

The Flyers definitely chose a low event style today, but there are definitely swings in energy and momentum that you continue to ignore.

The Flyers suffocated the game at 5 on 5 today, but the Habs did a better job in the first two games changing the game to their pace.

How is this good? How could anyone like this?

 

[Lord Defect]

I have to say this. Raffl is such a underrated player. He MADE Thompson and Pitlick look competent.

He’s underrated to a point. When he’s in his proper position in the lineup, I. E. Bottom 6, he’s great. People keep thinking of him as a player that “can play in the first line” still and underrate him thinking he’s a shell of his former self.
He played above his head and was carried when he was on the first line.

I like Raffl. I hate him in the top 6, I LOVE him in the bottom 6.

Today? Every game so far.

They made the problem even worse for this one.

Uh, he’s a dog... maybe that’s how dogs talk?

Have you ever heard a dog talk?

 

[The Burdened]

You really don't get that the problem isn't effort? Really?

The problem is trash players, trash roster construction, trash coaching, and things going exactly as predicted.

lel never said I was just talking about the players; not sure why you thought I was.

Wanted them to come out and give the kind of response Lavy would want. I get that they got their ultimate "response" by getting an early lead and slowly choked the opponent out in route to a W, but f*** me. Except for Hart, this whole group from top to bottom is very uninspired rn

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

This series feels like when we played Buffalo in 2011 and looked like dogshit against a bad team that only had Ryan Miller and then we got swept in the next round.

Thank you for this. I'm a Scooby-Doo dog fan, but this back and forth is enjoyable.

Heaven help anyone who goes after Voltron, though.

 

[Rebels57]

Hart has allowed just 7 goals in his first 5 Playoff starts.
