OOT Scoreboard 2022-23

[Bleedred]

Not the same in the slightest. Igor completely dominated every level he’s ever played at and the Rangers had elite finishing talent and an elite PP. Hart is not Igor. The Flyers don’t have half the Rangers talent. They’re also getting crushed worse than the Rangers did. The Flyers are awful. I was high on the Rangers all of last year

I thought of last year’s Rangers team coming into the season as anywhere from a bubble team to a 500 team at worst.

I thought of this year’s Flyers team as a bottom-5 team.

It’s safe to say the Flyers are overachieving a TON more than the Rangers did.

They were a -85 shot on goal differential coming into tonight’s game. They are real time a -100 shot on goal differential as of the end of this period.

Their 39.2 CF% at 5 on 5 coming into tonight has to be a league worst. I don’t think it’s getting any better tonight.

The Arizona Coyotes are at 39.6%. The Flyers have somehow been worse than them. Even the Blackhawks are at 42%.

Those Sabres jerseys aren’t good, White tops/pants/gloves is just brutal. I can’t wait til they break out the red/black ones later this year though.

 

[MauDevils]

I keep thinking I'm watching the Bruins.

 

[Bleedred]

There’s a really bad goal on Samsonov to bring the Flyers to within one.

That’ll be softy of the night.

I mean people kept saying that about the Rangers last year...

Fair enough. But you have to admit the rags roster is simply better. And was better last season. But point taken.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Man the pens like to cough up leads.

 

[The Grinder]

Somebody win this game in regulation please.

 

[Devils090]

Thompson with another bomb

 

[MauDevils]

Officiating this season is just pushing new levels of terrible.

Officiating this season is just pushing new levels of terrible.

It really is awful.

 

[Devils090]

Tuch! 4-3 Sabres

Thompson’s reach is ridiculous

 

[The Grinder]

You know what would solve these defensive lapses and blown leads for the Pens? Why their very own Ty Smith. Bring him up!

 

[MauDevils]

I mean...what? How much do these refs have on Buffalo?

Granted, there's far less of a chance Hart keeps up his play than Igor has but we've seen goalies have fluke years too - Steve Mason, Jim Carey, etc

My point of bringing up the Rangers is more you don't have to exceed expectations for a full season, but if they do it long enough for the team to bring in reinforcements at the deadline the way the Rangers did then it could get dangerous (not so much in terms of them winning a Cup in this case, but more in terms of them being stiff competition for a playoff spot).

Hey now, they lost eventually right?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That is a horrendous icing waive off honestly. The officials have been pretty bad.

 

[Guttersniped]

THE GHOSTS OF BUFFALO SLUGS BITCH SLAP ROBOPENGUINS IN NOSTALGIA GRUDGE MATCH!!!

 

[NJDevs26]

Hey now, they lost eventually right?

Just like with the Isles (speaking of teams this board underrated to their peril), we needed the same juggernaut to bail us out of the nightmare scenario but barely.

Why? Seemed correct to me.

Good night overall. No worries 3pt games and no metro division wins

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Can't wait to steal Sullivan from Pittsburgh after we stole John Marino, gonna be great.

Also that ROR trade might be the biggest win-win trade in the 2010 decade for both teams.

He can be assistant to Brunette.

 

[jkrdevil]

I hate to say it because I hated him as a player (obviously), but Lundqvist is good on tv.
