Post-Game Talk: #14: FLYERS 3 at Sharks 4 (OT), Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018, 10:30 p.m. ET

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I can’t belive I stayed up for that ending.

**** you Jake. **** you Ghost.

Jake just ole'd on that game winning rush. it should of not come down to Ghost trying to defend that 2 on 1. It was however a wicked snipe by Meier

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

The Lindblom, Konecny, Patrick goal was one of the more beautiful team goals I have seen the team score in a while. So much skill on that play.

Patrick with a really good mid lane drive there. Hey much like Crosby and Tavares used to do all the time against us.

 

[Striiker]

I get the puck possession in OT, but that risky play ended up a goal. G had no other option on that play. Take a chance you will beat the guy to the puck on a dump in.

Based on what followed the turnover, I’d put more blame on the others, instead of Giroux.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Who was the guy impersonating a NHL goalie in the Flyers net?

Please, our backup goalie kept us in the game all night long. what were the shots at one point 14-5 to start the game?
Pickard did not lose that game. Not being ready to go at puck drop played more of a part. That is on the so called perfect coaching staff.

 

[deadhead]

I didn’t watch the game but:

Gudas 11:34
Sanheim 15:38
Laughton 10:23
NAK 5:44

Deeeeveilipmint

Lindblom was playing like 8 minutes a night just in the last few games, now he’s playing him almost 17 because he’s hot and the line blender. Our most balanced pair barely played while Hagg got 21+, Folin got 20+, and Myers/Friedman are in the minors.

Hagg is 10th in the NHL for pp/60 by defensemen and our most physical D-man, we're pumping up his trade value.
How can you complain about Folin in that game, he played a smart, physical and consistent game.
Meanwhile, did you watch the 1st period, Sanheim/Gudas were a turnover machine.

As far as Laughton/NAK, whose minutes are you going to cut?
Like it or not, Weise - Weal - Simmonds has been our best line the last few games. Weise played 10:45 at ES and those were solid minutes.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, eventually the wheels will come off and then you make changes.

You misunderstood, I was complimenting Pickard for looking like a real NHL goalie after his last start where he looked like Mrazek.

 

[deadhead]

Last season we had almost identical shot amounts in 3rd when leading / tied after 2 periods.

But the Hakshell?

My suspicion is if you could find the stats (and especially if you eliminate games against bad teams or with insurmountable leads) you'd find that teams with the lead tend to have less shots and scoring chances, but more high danger scoring chances in the 3rd period.

The losing team gambles, which leads to more possession and shots in the O-zone, but more breakaways the other way.

When you're behind, your defensemen should make more dangerous pinches to try and keep the puck in the O-zone and your forwards should get caught deep more often, because getting a goal has a lot greater effect on the probability of tying/winning than giving up a goal has on the probability of losing.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I consider those dumps with feeble pressure a turnover. Because that's all they accomplish.

If you're including the team dumping and chasing in the offensive zone, I disagree. This team's biggest problem is trying to force plays through the neutral zone. They should be dumping and chasing more from the red-line through the offensive zone.

Again, the Flyers' Shot rates relative to the league plummet when Leading. No matter how many ways you try to look at it, this will not change.

I do not know if that is the case again this year, but it was for 3 years previous.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The end result is the same. Hakstol doesn't send enough pressure to win the battle after the dump.

Yes

I hate California. I hate every single soul that ever came out of that deluded f***ing state. I hate those people with the most basic essence of my being. Why are they so god damned f***ing fake. Why do they bullshit themselves and every one else constantly. What is it about that place that just generates fakeness.

nice stereotype. CA is a very big state with lots of different types of people and additudes.

Just change it to California.

"Folin was acquired to be the #7" though.

Can't believe anyone though Sanheim would play more than him.

Let's take a look at the last 3+ years since Hak took over:

NHL.com - Stats

Sanheim this year 15:59
Sanheim last year 15:35

Who has played LESS in any season since Hak took over? Only Schultz, Alt, Oduya, and O'Neil. 2 of the least amount of TOI seasons are had by Sanheim.

Manning NEVER was played so little. AMac neither. Schenn? Nope. Streit? Nope. Folin? Nope. Ok....what about Medvedev? Nope...played almost 19 minutes a game.

Looking back even deeper in years, we played Bruno Gervais 17:08 for god's sake. Yet Sanheim can't??????

Let that sink in.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

The end result is the same. Hakstol doesn't send enough pressure to win the battle after the dump.

This is one of the biggest incorrect assumptions of all. I'm watching the game and at roughly 7:45 in the 3rd they are continuing to send 2 forecheckers deep with a third man in the middle of the zone. Again at roughly the 3 minute mark Now, obviously they don't send 2 men deep during line changes.

If Hak doesn’t like the player, he makes it personal. You listed absolute trash compared to our best young D prospect.

The dumping and chasing is sorta a problem, they have a terrible time recovering it well. The neutral zone passing is by far their biggest problem offensively though. Hakstol prefers a stretch pass style of playing.

 

[deadhead]

This "personal" stuff is a joke, anyone who watches Sanheim would notice he has great stretches, and brain dead stretches, like the first period against San Jose. When he's good, he gets more PT, when he sucks, he gets to watch for a period or two. Not exactly a shocker.

Provorov, Lindblom, Patrick are younger than Sanheim, why aren't they benched?

 

[freakydallas13]

Can anyone in the Honk defence force tell me why it's acceptable for the coach to constantly change the lines game to game, and then again about a dozen times during the game?

Because it is infuriating watching this coach do this game in and game out, and it is f***ing bush league. It's what coaches of peewee teams do.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Lindblom also missed shifts in third when we had the lead.

Age is all that matters to this stupid f***.
