Kuznetsov was missing though.

They're still a decent matchup compared to the other likely options (Tampa, Pittsburgh, Boston).

One of my favorite goals ever.

Around 3:00

Game 1, 1987 Conference Finals.

Poor Wayne’s voice is screwed up by his mouth injuries this year.

Have to think he wears fake chompers off the ice and the lisp goes away

Being anchored to MacDonald is going to be a right of passage for our young D. I don't recall if Ghost had to be Provo of course did. I could see it for Sanheim then Myers and Morin.

Yup Ghost played final 1/3 of his rookie season and Playoffs with MacDonald. Naturally Farmer slowed down his production.

 

[Curufinwe]

Manning didn’t play, and Sanheim got 20 minutes for the time since 11/2/17.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Simmonds has had an awful year and still has 23 goals, as a shadow of what he has been the last couple years

Maybe it's time for the Hak adjustment that always takes 20-30 games longer than it should

 

[boxcar65]

Yes, I am thoroughly excited the Flyers won. Of course, Manning doesn’t play and he still gets bashed some in the post game thread. I dont necessarily think him not playing led to the victory. It could have easily happened with him in there instead of AMac, Hagg, or Gudas.

He probably won’t play again unless someone gets hurt, so everyone can be happy. Let’s Go Flyers.

And was very solid

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

When this is the lineup, I can't even get angry if they lose.

It was very nice to be able to watch what we would consider, for the most part, the optimal lineup for once.

9 games left. Plenty of time for the Dog.

Sanheim looks a lot better with MacDonald than Gudas, of course, he just looks a lot better after that month in the AHL, if you want to say he's no different that before he was sent down, my advice is to go so your Optometrist. Sanheim simply doesn't look lost this time around, and he's not mind farting left and right. MacDonald has actually been playing well again, sure, he's physically limited (too small, not fast enough) but he is the only "reliable" veteran on defense. And he's good suppressing goals in his D-zone.

And that's because we really don't miss Manning when we have Gudas out there these days. He's not the same player since he was suspended, he was always limited physically, but the hits set the tone and forwards were intimidated, now they go right at him. And Gudas is almost as bad clearing the puck as Hagg. Not to mention an awful play leading to a goal that a veteran should NEVER make with 3 goal lead in the 3rd period.

If Simmonds could play like this for 82 games an extension would be a no-brainer, but beware of pyrite. To be effective, he has to skate, hit and shoot, because while the puck finds Patrick's stick, it's allergic to Simmonds' stick moving up and down the ice.

Great to see that hard work pay off for Lindblom, he must have borrowed the Cap'n's mongoose to rid himself of snakes.

Konency is a nut case, that's why he has to get stronger, because the boy is gonna get hurt if he doesn't add some muscles.

As far a slapshots, both the Ghost and Hagg shots had one thing in common, no long windup and hesitation, perfectly timed so when the puck arrived, so did their stick blade - giving the defense no time to read and react.

Notice how much better this team looks when they get competent goaltending?
This isn't a great team, but it's a good team when their goalie matches up with the opponent's goalie.

And was very solid

I thought it was his most solid game yet. I’m talking about Manning, of course.

Also, have the Flyers ever played the Caps and Orlov not done something chickenshit?

Manning better be sending you a free signed ManDog shirt with all of the abuse you've taken.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Also, also, is Couts has never scored 30 goals going to be the new Couts has never scored 40 points?

 

[mja]

Got a call at the last minuter offering me a ticket. First game I went to this season and it was a doozy. The clear takeaway from this is that I'm good luck and you should all chip in and subsidize my attendance at the remaining Flyers games this year. I'm not too picky, so something in the upper level is fine.

Coots will pot at least 4 in the last 9 games

All that waffle and you didn’t even find room to advocate trading Voracek because of his wrist shot.

 

[Rebels57]

Coots is up to 68 points
