"His parents are pretty tall"


lol what a master class in genetic heredity

hahahahaha what an amazing scout.

GM: Why should we draft/sign this kid
Scout: His parents are thick

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

he does control the pace...then turns it over and allows montreal to control the pace. So either he controls or he lets montreal control lol. He has been a lot better in this game, much more aggressive. He just needs to play a little faster

He really hasn't at all.

 

[flyerslducks]

If we hold on does Moose get the start tomorrow or do you let Hart do the back to back?

too important of a game and he hasn't seen a ton of shots. Absolutely no hesitation in hart getting in

 

[tictactoe]

Hagg had himself a good first, for his standards. He actually made a couple defensive players.

His second period was downright Haggian though. Dude was fighting the puck and losing very badly. The puck pummeled him so deeply the docs may have to stop the fight.

If we win this round Hagger worth a 1st from some GM looking for young talent.

 

[Striiker]

Huh. Thanks. I don’t think I would mind that with someone better than Grant between Giroux and Laughton. Or really, you could put either of those two in the middle anyway and probably be better off.

I edited that post late, but here's the results so far...

Exactly as you'd expect...

Poor Giroux...

with Grant
7:49
43.75 CF%
38.80 xGF%

without Grant
2:00
100.00 CF%
100.00 xGF%

Meanwhile Grant...

with Giroux
43.75 CF%
38.80 xGF%

without Giroux
28.57 CF%
13.85 xGF%

But yeah, if they're taking Giroux off the top line, Frost would have been the only acceptable center. It's worked in the past.

I’d go with Hart. At his age, he’ll be fine. Plus if they win tomorrow, they’ll have 5 or 6 days off before the next series.

Elliott didn't look worn down and garbagey in his appearances so I can trust him.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Nice change in approach today.

Better idea on lines if they fix the 3c

it is a 8:00 game. I would start Moose. But would have no problem riding Hart

Missed the 2nd. Quick synopsis?

Just wait til the hard hitting news story comes out about how the Flyers and Ron Hextall signed Dave Hakstol to be the head coach.

Sources tell me it went like this...

“He coached my son.” - Ron Hextall

 

[flyerslducks]

He really hasn't at all.

compared to his dogshit games 1-3, he has been a lot better. He still can play much better but he has been more aggressive. He actually made two really nice backchecks that we never saw in the other games. Nice to see that and something to build off of

 

[Beef Invictus]

I’d go with Hart. At his age, he’ll be fine. Plus if they win tomorrow, they’ll have 5 or 6 days off before the next series.

This is the other big thing


I don't remember how well Hart does in the second game in a row

 

[tictactoe]

Missed the 2nd. Quick synopsis?

We have a goalie.

 

[BiggE]

The b2b situation hurts Price more than Hart. He’s not a kid and he’s had some injuries over the last few years.

 

[Din Djarin]

Carter Hart is awarded the Vezina Trophy at least once in his Flyers career or we riot!

 

[pit]

Watched the first in a meeting, missed the second for a meeting, work day is done and now I am watching and posting.

Elliott didn't look worn down and garbagey in his appearances so I can trust him.

Why would you ever say such horrible things?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

People made up their mind about him the moment that trade happened and now it doesn't matter what he does.

Poor Chuck doesn't get 100% credit from 100% of the people like he should, amirite?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Missed the 2nd. Quick synopsis?

Not many things happened, Grant is bad, Myers is good, Hart is good

I think we had 3 shots or something stupid

 

[Magua]

Mike Milbury thinks Carter Hart could get the Flyers all-time shutout streak by letting in 2 goals to go to OT. The man is an idiot savant without the savant part.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Why would you ever say such horrible things?

Relax, it's not like I have a history of supporting a player only for them to have a grievous injury.


Oh, wait

 

[Striiker]

Milbury is an idiot....

They’re taking about Hart’s shutout streak, they mention he can’t break the record this game, and Milbury goes “how many overtime’s would that take”....

HOW WOULD THEY GO TO OVERTIME IF HART HAS A SHUTOUT MIKE

 

[Ghosts Beer]

To that end, one of our adjustments appears to be a hell of a lot more bank passes, ideally with two forecheckers pressuring one guy in the neutral zone so one of them has a likelyhood of getting around and picking up the bank. Even one on one a lot of Habs have been caught flat in the face of a rushing Flyers going after a puck banked off the boards past them.

Instead of trying to force their way straight through thee middle.

Still too many attempts to force plays, IMO.
