GDT: ECQF 4 | FLYERS (A) vs. Canadiens (H) | Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2020 | 3:00 pm ET | Flyers lead series 2-1

[Hollywood Cannon]

NBCSN just had a pretty awesome segment with Hayes about how he gives crazy nicknames to everyone on the team.

Pregame they had a moment's silence, but these assholes thought it was a better idea to go through Kev's f***ing nickname shtick for the billionth time during the intermission.

Lol.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

YES BROTHER

I counted four entries in that period where Hayes stopped skating at the blue line. I mean, absolutely stopped and glided in, no skate movement, straight legs, no bend in the knees. One was on a 2-on-1, one was on a 3-on-2.

Spritz him with the water bottle until he learns.

That's his game though, he knows he doesn't have the ability to beat people wide with his speed, he might be able to make a power move to the outside, but rarely tries and I'm not sure if he could successfully pull it off consistently. He loves to stutter step and slow things down when he has possession, he has very good head fakes and seems to be good as causing deception with his eyes, he uses his long reach and large body and good hands to shield pucks and hang onto possession while allowing others to find open space. When it works it looks great, but against teams like the Habs that are very good at their off puck coverage he over handles and eventually skates himself out of time and space, then has to force a low percentage pass, stick handling move or force it into the corners without support.

Couts is great, I see no holes in the lineup. The cup should be a lock.

It's about the billionth time the **** has been slobbered over for that stupid shit, and it was just as stupid this time as every other time. Goofy Southie loser.

 

[tymed]

Based on a single period albeit, it's looking like they made the 1 major adjustment that I was hoping for.

We have to go with light chips around their Dmen on the forecheck and force their Dmen to pivot instantly into a battle, as opposed to swinging the puck deep and allowing Price to easily redistribute as their 3rd dman.

This is the key to the series for us imo.

 

[BritainStix]

I mean, Gallagher is a good player. One of the better below the goal line in the league. He's gonna do that sometimes.

5 times in 4 games is pretty awful though.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’d bet my life that’s not what AV is doing.

He doesn’t realize Grant is a liability. He thinks this is another 2nd line.

I don’t think he’s necessarily doing it by design either. But it’s happening nonetheless.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Taryn is even hotter in the summer with a tan and some freckles, I demand more summer hockey.

Couts is great, I see no holes in the lineup. The cup should be a lock.

 

[Stizzle]

I almost want to say he called him Rubik's Cube.

That's Rubtsov.

Growing out that neckbeard for the playoffs?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

That's easily the stupidest-looking puppy I have seen. Shut the f*** up, Roger, you silly Everton b***h.

Rog is great.

Courage.

 

[Appleyard]

I don’t really like the idea of using one of our best players to try & offset a 3C liability.

And Grant is mainly playing C through the NZ and once set-up...

G is just covering for him in DZ and taking faceoffs.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Was there a Ducky tribute ??? I missed it

There was one in the intermission by Sportsnet, yeah.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Fourth line...

 

[Striiker]

French Hak starting with his ace Thompson line again

 

[TCTC]

Still can't believe that Raffl goal. That's not how he usually scores.

French Hak

Frenchak

Frak

 

[Striiker]

Hagg sucks so bad

 

[Beef Invictus]

What the f*** Hagg lol

 

[Appleyard]

Still can't believe that Raffl goal. That's not how he usually scores.

He has a decent shot.

But yeh, it is usually:

In the crease.
A nice forehand-backhand in close.
Power-move round the outside.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Haggar hot potato Man, he sucks.

 

[patrick kitchin]

I wish Ghost was out there.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Couts is flying out there

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

What the f*** Hagg lol

What? That was a nice quick pass.

Clearly that was not a completely shit clear attempt in actuality.
