Post-Game Talk: #17 | Golden Knights at Flyers | November 18, 2023 | Flyers win 4-3 (OT)

[Henry Miller]

It would really be something if Sanheim keeps this up and he’s come into his own finally. If he maintains this level of play over the next couple years, and the Flyers add or develop a couple good defensemen, they could be pretty well set up

Couts and Atkinson have really surprised me. After all that time missed and at their age, what they are doing is really impressive

I still think they’ll regress as the season moves along but if this is how the Flyers will play the next few years, adding Michkov, a Gauthier with a couple seasons under his belt, and whatever prospects we develop or add, might not be a bad thing.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

I'm convinced that they're just as likely to be picking where they were the last 2 drafts as they are to end up with a wild card spot. What a f***ing ride.

Although, the even bigger surprise is how Sanheim was able to turn into this.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Walker needs dealt at deadline to the highest bidder for a pick or 2. No upside to extending him.

They'll probably think Risto will be upgrade over him anyway once he's healthy.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I didn’t see Zamula as having as great a game as some of you do.

I thought it was typical Z in that he made some really nice plays with his reach & also with holding the puck to create some space, but also some plays that had me holding my breath. He tried skating it right into the teeth of Vegas in center ice in the 3rd & turned it over, which could’ve been very costly especially given the time & score. It’s a mistake he’s made too many times.

 

[VladDrag]

Casually watch the game today. It was fun for what I saw. Truthfully, I was worried about the game after the first 10 minutes, I thought it was going to be another afternoon lethargic effort.

Congrats to Foerster, who has been playing so well since the beginning of the year.

 

[sigma six]

Had to clean the rain gutters our earlier so am watching it now. Tippet just ended the pp drought and it's nice to see him keep rolling.

 

[Henry Miller]

It’s a shame the Flyers didn’t have a couple Dmen like Walker in 2010

I mean, they did have 4 defensemen better than Walker.

Obviously meant 2 Walkers on the bottom pair. Who knows how things go if Pronger, Kimo, Coburn, and Carle don’t have to play 52 minutes a night.

They just needed one guy to competently play 10-12 minutes a night. It's a shame that both the 2004 and 2010 runs were torpedoed by lack of depth defensively.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

This is turning into a worst case scenario season. Blow the draft position and give management an excuse to buy and extend 30 year olds.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Our babies should fight

which baby is wearing the 44 jersey?

Yeah, 04 was rough especially. The hockey gods will eventually smile on the Flyers again though

Vegas has me rethinking that you need a top 1C and 1D to win. Maybe I’m underestimating Eichel, Theodore, and a 58 year old Alex P, but they seem to win with depth. If the Flyers aren’t going to be tanking, then perhaps they’ll need that depth to contend. I was hoping they’d find that elusive 1D and maybe 1c by drafting high the next couple years, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. I still think the future is bright 3-5 years down the road. They’ll be adding hopefully a couple top line players in the next few years. I think it’s going to come down to how the defensive prospects pan out. Part of me wants to take 2 swings at Dmen in this year’s draft if they are drafting teens or later. Can Sanheim maintain this level of play? Can York take the next step? Can Bonk, Zamula, etc become good 2nd pair or better players? If they can “depth up” the defensive core, it might offset not having that bonafide 1D. I think the offense will be great 3-5 years from now. It’s the D I’m interested in

 

[Schwarbomb]

That's about all the confirmation they'll need to push the accelerator for a playoff berth.

 

[Tripod]

We all can hear Torts at the deadline:

"These guys busted their asses all season. To trade off guys when we are in a playoff hunt is asinine. You guys want to trade off these solid guys who helped us get here for picks that might help us in 5 years? Get real. These guys deserve to go to war with the guys they have battled with all season. To take that away is idiotic. These kids playing will gain way more playing playoff hockey down the stretch than pulling the carpet out from underneath them. We didn't expect to be in this position. We are rebuilding. But this team had earned the right to stay together and play this out. You guys are unbelievable."

 

[Ghosts Beer]

which baby is wearing the 44 jersey?

Which baby is rocking the MacEwen ‘stache?

 

[thedjpd]

Hopefully their “McDavid” is in the KHL. Or I’m seeing a Crosby-type.

I think he’ll be a center before Cutter.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Quietly Zamula's best game of the season.

Good game against a good team.

This is why you just put these guys in the games and let them try to play their way through. You learn by playing, not by watching.

 

[Beef Invictus]

My baby will wear the Timonen jersey. HC's can work on growing a huge stache

Coupled with Walker and Seeler extensions

Imagine poor Sanheim, Risto is coming soon !!

Hope some here don't compare his game now to the inevitable step down once he gets saddled with that slob again.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

It would be so Flyers to lose tomorrow after wins over LA, Carolina and Vegas

 

[Flyerfan4life]

They’re buying.

And the authentics will blame Sanheim when he fails to cover for Risto’s futility. Maybe they pair the dynamic duo of Risto and Staal
