Danny Briere vs the Devils in 2012

damn that was when he scored two and had one overturned i think, no?

 

[JVR21]

I don’t believe he is touching the puck. He touches it after Nelson exits the zone.

I think it’s onside.

You don't have to be literally touching the puck to have possession.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they reviewed the keep in the zone as opposed to the zone entry.

That review was entirely too short for a that obvious look to not me scrutinized a ton.

This is the most NHL possible outcome, so you've earned my vote.

 

[kudymen]

Sat back playing bullshit hockey and it hurt them. Like it does more often than not across the NHL.

And Flyers have done a REALLY good job this year of not doing that.

I dont understand whats going on. It is just so much different from what the reg season style offered. Reinventing whats working. Just like the stupid PP tweaks making us one of the worst PP teams in the league.

 

[Jtown]

I don’t believe he is touching the puck. He touches it after Nelson exits the zone.

I think it’s onside.

he is puckhandling. that means he is in possession of the puck

 

[Hexxxy]

I don't think they "let them" it's kind of what Trotz teams do. They generally are not going to get outworked.

The isles are overpowered by the flyers if the flyers simply play a 60minute game.

hell, if they played a 50 minute game today it’s totally acceptable.

AV is coaching like a rookie and the leaders on the team are setting the wrong tone on aggression/compete/asssertiveness v hanging back/shelling

I thought at least the leadership group would be aware after hak not

 

[tucson83]

SERIOUSLY! Are they going to stop being a fan?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

never!!! you said screw this team why dont you just go?

 

[FlyerNutter]

They defered THREE straight entries to go for short changes before the goal.

THREE. From different lines.

Sat back playing bullshit hockey and it hurt them. Like it does more often than not across the NHL.

And Flyers have done a REALLY good job this year of not doing that.

I hate the whole "its the playoffs" thing. There is really not much difference to regular season outside playing better teams. Just play your game.

Im not a stats guy, but the difference in playing style compared to the regular season imo is clear.

Its also asinine, but with all that hockey experience behind the bench what do I know.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

DONT GET INTO THIS....

Danny Briere vs the Devils in 2012

Funny cuz it feels like this series is playing out the same way.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Afternoon weekday Playoff games.
So bad.

 

[forzanerazzurri]

How does it work then, Kerry Fraser?

Don't worry about it

 

[Beef Invictus]

How come Bergeron or Marchand playing lights out, same for Barzal but Claude Giroux want to go home. I mean I do not remember a single dominate shift this playoffs

He was fantastic in the first. Created numerous opportunities. Created a goal.


Then AV told everyone to play safe and stop pushing.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I click "like" even without context.

Same. Great doppelganger.

 

[bennysflyers16]

This game is ending inside 5 mins at least. Hayes gets the Hatty or Barzal line runs over some poor Flyer line

 

[orangecrush8]

You don't have to be literally touching the puck to have possession.

For it to be offside yes you do.

The Islander has his right foot in the zone and left foot out of the zone, even when he touched the puck.

It’s onside.

 

[Jtown]

at some point in time we are going to have to have an uncomfortable chat about Travis Sanheim's inability to handle an aggressive forecheck.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Do they have to review all plays at the line if multiple are in question?

 

[Stizzle]

Because that puck HAS to get out.

I see no other teammate on the screen. No puck support at all. Who else is even available for a pass?

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Its interesting. I didnt expect this strategy come playoff time after what we saw in the regular season.

Colonel Custer would be proud.

I can call it cowardly coaching, but whats the point. This is Hak era 2.0

Yeah, we should probably be used to it by now. For some reason I keep being surprised.

 

[Flybynite]

So did the Flyers hear about the NBA players boycotting and decided to boycott playing hockey the rest of the game?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This game is ending inside 5 mins at least. Hayes gets the Hatty or Barzal line runs over some poor Flyer line

First shift, probably.

 

[romulus augustulus]

I would not have challenged there either but that's offside, clear as day.

Screwed again on an offside against the Isles. Like poetry, it rhymes.

NHL officiating is such a joke. At least they didn't add on a penalty against Myers for too many men on the ice for that play.

100% this. We took our foot off and just let them come back in. Everyone just dumped the puck and changed quickly. No one was told to forecheck. It's freaking embarrassing to do that with a one goal lead with 8 minutes left

 

[JVR21]

AV keeps putting out the f***ing Thompson line like that's going to help protect the lead. It's pathetic that he can't see the giant liability he is.
