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

[Hollywood Cannon]

Did Clement really just say that the Flyers fourth line had their most chances in game three?

That is the single worst statement I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

 

[Here4ThaLids]

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.

He needs to threaten a power move or at least change of direction. On that 2-on-1 I knew he was going to shoot by his body language (also, slowing down let a defenseman slip back into the passing lane).

Think about how much more effective his length and fakes would be at speed.

 

[Appleyard]

Lucky they did not connect there.

Grant daydreaming. Caught on ice. Then left man infront.

He is really poor defensively. Even though a good shooter and okay in OZ.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Thompson is still bad

 

[Deadpool8812]

Thompson...

 

[tictactoe]

wtf r u doing Faraabe

 

[Striiker]

With no hyperbole whatsoever, this "French Hakstol" bullshit is the most annoying thing I have seen on this board in a long time... and I bailed on at least 10 straight coronavirus threads.

@Striiker

The accuracy is undeniable.

But fine, I’ll be nice.

 

[Rebels57]

Did Clement just say the Flyers 4th line had the teams best chances in Game 3?

They didn't have a single shot attempt until 10 minutes into the 3rd

 

[Stizzle]

Great illustration of why Bunny is a good possession player right there. All alone on controlled entry. Waited for help. Maintained possession. Started a cycle.

 

[tictactoe]

Tk is playing really bad too.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

What the f*** is this whole team doing right now?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Good try Hayes dog

 

[Chinatown88]

French Hak

[CanadianFlyer88]

Hayes needs a jolt. Just sleepwalking.

 

[Here4ThaLids]

Bunny with a great job to hold out for the change without giving away possession, legit good, but then Thompson immediately skates into the wall/crowd and gives it away.

 

[ybnvs]

As everyone already knows, Thompson, like Grant, is f***ing awful.

He needs to threaten a power move or at least change of direction. On that 2-on-1 I knew he was going to shoot by his body language (also, slowing down let a defenseman slip back into the passing lane).

I wholly agree, but he just isn't that guy. At this point in his career it is unlikely he changes that either.

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

 

[patrick kitchin]

I don't think it's our D is playing great or anything, I just think the Habs can't shoot.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Jakes looks like he had a few bumps before the game, love it

 

[AdamParrot]

Grant, Thompson, Hagg.. my god..

 

[Amorgus]

Laughton has been a tragedy this round

 

[Larry44]

What the f*** is this whole team doing right now?

Memo to Flyers: The puck is NOT a hand grenade. Repeat, the puck is not a hand grenade.

Also: You CAN head man the puck to a teammate ahead of you on the ice. We are not playing Rugby rules in the bubble.

 

[Chinatown88]

Kev dog infuriates me to no end.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Nice recovery from Hagg after a rough play letting that pass through.

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

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Hayes is just throwing grenades out there.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

These bums still can't hit open passes AND try to force shit through two defenders in front of the net.
