GDT: #44 | Flyers at Blues | January 15, 2024 | 8:00 PM | NBCSP

[eramosat]

I watch some Flyers games, and many less Leafs games, and just about nothing not involving either.

This year's Flyer's are fairly ready to meet the Leafs in a playoff series, and win it. Given the Leafs their best goalie too. The stark contrast in effort, and mostly planned effort, towards the Flyer's approach is striking. Leafs would have zero practice in the co-ordinated effort required to grind out anything, and the Flyers would have been playing that style all season.

Just an observation.

Frost looks awesome. Very confident puck carrying right now.

 

[josra33]

Is Drysdale injured already?

Is Drysdale injured already?

“Illness”

So they say.

I just tuned in 5 min ago, but that Tippett-Frost-TK line has been carving things up. Frost is so good at connecting everyone. Just subtle heady shit.

Everyone not named Tortorella, Jones or Boucher can see this.

You reckon that's Frost's most useful archetypes to play with? That's a lot of speed and the two mutants on wing are looking to bury.

Illness. A lot of our guys had just gotten over something recently.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

This is Frost's best game ever.

 

[Winston Wolf]

For those not watching, they are ramping up the propaganda.

They had a segment discussing that since November 15, the Flyers are the best team in the East.

BUY BUY BUY

That was another amazing PP shift, into a 5v5 rush chance, for Frost too. He is dropping dimes.

100%. Tippett weirdly always has chemistry with him, even though he's not the same thinker. Frost has always been about subtle plays and line synergy while popping some creative shit. He operates best in space, and that's not a sin. He's improved plenty along the boards, but that's his forte: putting linemates in advantageous spots.

 

[Winston Wolf]

If you closely watch Tortorella's facial reaction to opponents' goals, it's the exact reaction George Costanza had when something went bad.

 

[BiggE]

Still better than the Eagles game

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

2-1
Flyers late goal
You can't stop Ryan Poehling you can only hope to contain him.

 

[tictactoe]

2:1

Sweet hands on that 2nd goal by Poehling.

 

[BigToe]

Love Poehling taking that wide

 

[Beef Invictus]

Hands

 

[eramosat]

pure hathaway blame for that goal. because penalties taken are a hugely underreported source of losing. so happy to draw the line directly from another of his pointless infractions to the immediately following goal while short-handed.

his linemate poehling is the antithesis of his similary placed linemate.

 

[BillDineen]

Big Z with another point

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

The Blues NZ play if absolutely horrendous.

 

[tymed]

The f***in guys, man. Love it.

 

[Magua]

Love Poehling taking that wide

Wish the team consistently used the process that brought in Walker and Poehling......and not Deslauriers and Staal. I'm interested to see Briere's 2nd run through to see if it was a fluke.

 

[3mFlyers]

Blues feed didn't look like Hathaway got him with the stick.

not one person here could have called this..

not one.

 

[tictactoe]

33 SOG and 3rd did not start yet..

one good thing about this season's success thus far...even if it doesn't continue...is that it should be clear that no more new rando 30-somethings are needed on the way to whatever peak the FLyers management imagines for itself. that ship has sailed, and it sailed quickly.

no defense for it at this point, unless they trade 33% of the roster.
