Post-Game Talk: #12: FLYERS 4 at Devils 3 (1-0 shootout), Friday, Nov. 1, 2019, 7:00 pm ET

I really really really really really want Frost to center Giroux. I think he needs someone with young legs who can carry play and make zone entries and also score.

FFS we are without Patrick and Laughton. I couldn't have imagined in preseason that Frost wouldn't be on the team under those circumstances.

Stewie was first off the bench after the game to congratulate Carter. Chuck has chub.

The xGF% metrics do not look favorable tonight. Losing that battle to the lowly Devils is probably a pretty bad sign. 14, 23, 11, 6, and 5 were the only players in the positive with xGF%.

The JVR - G - Jake got freaking smoked tonight 5v5. It can't be anymore obvious that Giroux belongs on the wing. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

Congrats to Joel Farabee.

Hopefully this is a confidence boost for Carter despite the weak goals in regulation.

While I agree that he should be a winger to have the optimal lines, it doesn't help that he's had JVR with him every time he's been at C for the last two years. It's just not a good fit, especially with Voracek on the other side.

f***ing hell that was sick

SO, does Hart go tomm again ?

 

[Starat327]

Jonesy, go drive off a cliff. Good lord.

I'll go the boards and play with a bunch of energy and forecheck myself out of play too, if itll make you feel better.

 

[baudib1]

Told you don’t panic if we get the lead.

I've watched the Devils enough this year to be firmly convinced that this is a coaching issue. They definitely have enough speed and skill to win games, the discipline just isn't there.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

****ing hell that was sick

If I heard Tim Saunders' call correctly "He went full Forsberg on that move."

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Stewie was the first one to congratulate Hart. That's a real leader folks.

And Fletcher sprayed his pants soon after. Thankfully his wife doesn't let him leave the house without incontinence pads.

Yea if someone told me we were down our 3C and 4C and Frost wasn’t up I’d be surprised. He needs to come up now. I don’t get why they don’t just stack the lineup from the beginning. Now we are .500 after playing almost 20% of the season. It’s a waste

Jonesy giving props to Stewie for his hustle off the ice to the bench!!!

JJ and Jones just spent a full 2 minutes talking up Stewie!

WHAT f***ING PLANET AM I ON?

 

[TheKingPin]

Lindblom could score 30 this year

 

[baudib1]

JVR needs to go back to being a sheltered 3rd-liner who gets some extra O-zone faceoffs.

 

[Adtar02]

Is coots hurt. Not taking draws with one of the best percentages in the league. And giroux seemed to loose more than normal tonight. Although the refs seemed to hold the puck longer

 

[Beef Invictus]

This was a rough "win."

Giroux was the sole bright spot on his line. JVR and Voracek were hideous and they should be beaten vigorously with rubber hoses. Braun should be sent into forced retirement at a labor camp producing rubber hoses. The three of them can produce a sustaining cycle.


Raffl had some shining moments. Giroux made far more space at 5v5 than he managed at 3v3 and I'm very confused by that. Hope that 3rd and SO are something Hart builds on.


It's a poor game plan to ever dump the puck in against Subban unless he's having a bad game.


Pretty please stop it with this PP. The handling of the PP has me thinking that nobody on the coaching staff should be allowed to operate heavy machinery. Or light machinery. Or anything more complex than a blunt stick. f*** it, maybe that's the problem, pens, markers, and pencils are too dangerous for their stunted minds to handle so nobody is actually planning this stuff out.

 

[General Joseph]

SO, does Hart go tomm again ?

I would send his ass back out there for sure ! He was shakey tonight but he fought through it so reward him .

Didn’t he have some issue in the offseason?

He also looked labored after getting hit in ot by the bench

 

[orangecrush8]

I actually prefer Hagg over Braun right now. I’m tired of Braun getting burned at the line.

 

[Foggy14]

Thanks for the inspiration, Peter.

hilariously ridiculous

Speculation has led to some sort of injury. Considering his success in that role, it isn't as if he is being punished by not taking draws.

I don't want Giroux and Jake together... just the wrong mix of styles.

I want
Giroux-Couts-TK
Lindblom-Hayes-Farabee

Raffl just can't pass the puck.

No idea why the first line is trying to dump and chase. I'm going to call it a coaching issue. It's not like they have Lindros and LeClair on that line.

 

[Starat327]

Playing goalies in back to backs when you dont have to is why we played 8 goalies last season.

Start Elliott.

 

[JXC]

Good win, in a game they kind of needed.

And Myers looks ready, which would be big.
