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

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh did I miss something?

Why did Lindblom only play 13 minutes???????????????????????????????

It's a credit to him that it felt like he was out there a ton in the third.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I'm glad we won but this game was excruciating.

Outside of the Couts line, none of the forwards showed much of anything except Farabee.
I guess Rubtsov looked good and I don't know if it's his influence, but this was probably Stewart's best game?

Overall I think the defense played well, especially Provorov. Myers had a gaffe on the first goal, Braun got undressed on the Hall goal. Sanheim falling down is inexplicable. Is the PK a problem again?

It was one of those games where everybody watching won when the final horn sounded.

 

[Tripod]

Couturier said he isn't 100% for those that missed it.

I said it in the GDT, his slapshot that we ended up scoring on, looked really awkward. He did not follow thru with it properly.

 

[Starat327]

Flyers have 16 games in 30 days this month. It shouldn't even be up for debate.

Yup. Every other game rotate until someone plays in a way where you can't justify sittng them. I'm glad Hart got the W today, but if were being honest, he didnt exactly play great. Keep him hungry.

We should also start rotating our forwards too. Give Stewie a breather for the next 70 games or so.

 

[Qyburn]

Joel seems chock full of confidence.

 

[bennysflyers16]

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

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

Im trying to see what’s better without Frost.

Until he’s here something needs to change

 

[bennysflyers16]

No way.

I’m more worried of CANES than I am of the Leafs.

 

[Beef Invictus]

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.

I said during the game that the top two lines need to be allowed to have controlled entry. I don't want Voracek and JVR trying to win in the corners. That isn't their strength. Play to what they are good at.

No back to backs... for either goalie.

 

[bennysflyers16]

No back to backs... for either goalie.

Agree. Just sucks to get a big win then go with Elliot

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I said during the game that the top two lines need to be allowed to have controlled entry. I don't want Voracek and JVR trying to win in the corners. That isn't their strength. Play to what they are good at.

I would put Jake and Pigeon with CamelToeFace on the fourth line until they play their way out of their funk, and then immediately afterwards trade Hayes.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's the best chance for getting another win.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I would put Jake and Pigeon with CameToeFace on the fourth line until they play their way out of their funk, and then immediately afterwards trade Hayes.

This is longterm planning.

 

[Beef Invictus]

AV is pleased by Giroux tonight. And he should be. Giroux was individually making stuff happen.

Voracek did not respond.

 

[Qyburn]

AV forces his face to brighten up about Giroux. In the middle of a bunch of other stuff, raises his head and voice: "our captain battled hard tonight"

 

[baudib1]

If you notice Giroux is still very involved defensively, as he should be. He probably would be more effective if he had less defensive responsibility and someone to carry the puck once in a while. I think Giroux can work with Voracek if they're wingers but he needs to conserve his energy a bit.

 

[Starat327]

I love that they pan to Colby, he stutters and Katie is just like "this f***ing amateur", and takes over. Good on her.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This is longterm planning.

High five.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Never good to be hurt during the season, but sucks that Couts is hurt through their heaviest stretch of games.

No time to get a free day or two to heal up.

 

[Starat327]

AV is pleased by Giroux tonight. And he should be. Giroux was individually making stuff happen.

Voracek did not respond.

Terrible leader and I dont know why hes still here. Should have been traded years ago for futures who we could marinate in the AHL

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I love that they pan to Colby, he stutters and Katie is just like "this ****ing amateur", and takes over. Good on her.

It's like Halloween every day in there. They have a skeleton, a werewolf, and a dummy.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I love that they pan to Colby, he stutters and Katie is just like "this ****ing amateur", and takes over. Good on her.

I was only listening but it was awkward without seeing it. Smooth bailout on her part, nobody needs to watch someone bumble towards a thought.

 

[Starat327]

High five.

 

[Tripod]

Everyone in our division got points tonight.

4 with wins
1 with loser point
CBus going to OT

 

[Appleyard]

I mean, I think both are good with board battles...

BUT in an ideal world they are not "the" guy going in first to win them.

As JvR is most effective when he can camp net the net.
And Jake is at his best when he can get in on the cycle and find seams.


That is why Raffl weirdly worked very well with G-V for a while I think. And why Hartnell did.
