Why the hell is Johnson on the ice in the final minute of a game?

 

[Magua]

That little gambit worked so well, Tortorella’s next idea for Flyers captain……Morgan Frost!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Ginning and Johnson to close out the win.

Johnson did what he could to give the Leafs one last good look...

 

[Flyer lurker]

remember when we hated hagg/ braun pairing to shutdown the other team's line one.

WHAT DO YOU CALL GINNING AND JOHNSON TO FINISH THE GAME OFF?

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm very excited for the coming playoff experience for a group of players who won't be here the next time the Flyers are contenders. Cultural things and such

 

[DancingPanther]

I f***ing hate this team

 

[3mFlyers]

They fricken won !

 

[Flyer lurker]

Well they weren’t going to lose all these games on this brutal stretch

 

[Rebels57]

That was a wild one. No idea what the metrics say, but it seemed like each team had over 20 scoring chances. No idea how they held on to that while playing the Hakshell the last 10 minutes.

Because Staal wasn't available.

To be fair, the Tortleshell started in the second when they were up 2-0. They just happened to score one more before the Leafs found their rhythm...

 

[Henry Miller]

Whatever I think will happen, the opposite happens. Unsure what I should think about the rest of the Flyers season

From Natural Stat Trick, Leafs won xGF 1.75 - 1.48, not accounting for score effects though.

Leafs hit more posts (5-3), but Flyers had several in close almost-goals that didn’t go but probably do another night.

All in all, the game should have been like 8-8 and could have gone either way. It was a fairly balanced game, which is all you can expect atm.

With the Flyers undermanned defense, there’s no way they are going to win in some dominant fashion. They need some luck, they got it tonight.

The last few games they haven’t gotten any, so this is a bit of regression to that mean perhaps.

 

[Tripod]

The circle jerk with Torts and Co tonight will be epic.

Nick D set the tone

The problem IMO isn’t the scratch. It’s that Couts hasn’t been told why - assuming that’s true. I do take issue with that. Own your decisions.

John Tortorella is a Hall of Fame coach and motivator.

you should think lose round 1
then think lose round 2
think crushed round 3
think destroyed in finals 4
and think morgan frost only plays good against bad teams.

 

[Amorgus]

Couts is probably cleaning out his locker right now.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

What an ugly win. Torts still keen on getting this team into the playoffs to promptly get dispatched in 4.

Why do his teams never win anything? Most HOFers are like...good, you know?

Sanheim in his first season deployed as a #1, without Provorov being shoved down our throats, hits 40 points with plenty of games left. Only took them what, 10 years to figure out how to use him properly?
