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

[Appleyard]

I actually have very little issue with the tactics Flyers employing overall at 5v5.

They have the better team D, and more talent overall, and an equal goalie.

It makes sense that they are outplaying Montreal at their own game. When Montreal dont get to the net... well.. only ~2-3 of their players can actually score. Low event hockey means the Flyers low events are probably better ones.




But yeh, not going to say the same for the line-up haha. That is hamstringing them.

 

[TCTC]

Unpopular opinion but its guys like Raffl you end up winning series with. Low event player but who can slide up/down line up and play a variety of players.

He's very good at providing a spark. He should only be in the top 6 occasionally though.

 

[flyerslducks]

We are big fans of Ducks around here. Sco Ducks.

ya boiiii

 

[Striiker]

Did Jones just say Hayes has been our best player at both ends of the ice????????

 

[Coffe]

Something something something Sean Avery

Yeah. I couldn't come up with a good enough pejorative so I just left his name out.

 

[AdamParrot]

So, right now we scored 5 goals in series.

Couturier and Giroux were on-ice for four goals of them. Not bad.

 

[Audible Velvet]

The Couturier line scores an early goal and the Flyers play no event hockey from there on out.

Lucky Carey Price spotted them a multiple goal lead. Because they weren't trying to spot themselves one.

He has had a great game

 

[flyerslducks]

i really want to see price pulled damnit. Please give me that. Please










sanheim and myers are the best players by far followed by hart, provorov, and couts

 

[Domino666]

I am totally down with couts-g-hayes down the middle but give giroux some more offense:

jvr-giroux-tk

i am liking farabee with hayes and couts with voracek. Every line gets two studs: giroux/tk, couts/voracek, hayes/farabee

Yeah but are those lines HF poster approved?

 

[BiggE]

Just got home from work/appt. who is in for NAK?

Bunny

 

[Appleyard]

I am Thompson's hardest critic. If he plays like he does today, you'll hear a lot less from me.

Take a look at Giroux- 2nd on the team in xGF% and CF% (behind Myers!!!!) despite dragging those 2 mannequins around

Thompson has done well in the OZ and boards today. Liked his work there.

BUT he has got caught in NZ way too much. You cant look bad in the DZ when you are not there! (Bunnaman has done a great job covering)

 

[AdamParrot]

Did Jones just say Hayes has been our best player at both ends of the ice????????

Unreal.

Couturier for me. And by far. It looks like he won every battle and he is everywhere should be at that time. And added primary assist.

 

[Lindberg]

I have said for years that Michael Raffl is the kind of 4th liner who you win cups with.

Raffl is an oddball player who I'm not sure even quantifies as a typical 4th liner.

Also wtf does Chris Therrien always look like his hair is soaking wet?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Bunny

cool thanks

 

[DancingPanther]

nah f*** that. Pour it on em in the first 10

I would absolutely consider that a type of weathering, would you not agree?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Just got home from work/appt. who is in for NAK?

JVR and NAK out

Bunny and Farabee in

Besides the roster deployment Rangers fans warned me about, they also yelled about his shell hockey in the playoffs. Which I was lulled into believing no longer exists because we were vastly more aggressive with a lead in the regular season than we were in the prior reign of terror.

And yet here we are.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Did Jones just say Hayes has been our best player at both ends of the ice????????

"He controls the pace of play"

It's like someone handed a microphone to his ass cheeks and they held it while his sphincter offered that analysis.

 

[Striiker]

He has had a great game

He really hasn't.

 

[BiggE]

They are gonna shell the ever loving f*** out of that shell in the third

 

[Lindberg]

Not unpopular, Raffl is a really useful player. Skates, checks, PKs, hits, gets his nose dirty and has good enough hands to pick the tippytop corner. He scored a nice goal in the round robin too.

Quite a few posters consider him a dime a dozen player.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

JVR and NAK out

Bunny and Farabee in

JVR deserves that healthy scratch

 

[tictactoe]

Poor Giroux.

Bundy's hair is so greasy.
