Post-Game Talk: #18 | FLYERS (A) vs. Sabres (H) | Sun., Feb. 28, 2021 | Flyers win 3-0 (make team history)

[WhoOwnDaChiefs]

BUF is awful and they have 12 former 1st round picks (skaters) rostered

 

[Danko]

ralph kreuger fired when

With all the talent that Buffalo team has, they should be doing a lot better. Underachieve and some of their top players are invisible.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The most telling part of that game was Dahlin backing down from Farabee challenging him to a fight.

Buf players are absolutely playing to get their coach fired. GM too....

They should.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Could've done without that third period but the weekend was a success.

 

[AdamParrot]

Great SO for Hart! Win as win. Couturier has been amazing since his return. Unreal player.

Now Hayes deserves to be benched.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

OFFICIAL THREE STARS:

1. JVR
2. Farabee
3.Hart​

 

[BritainStix]

I think we might be looking too much into a third period of a back to back in which the opposition had blatantly given up.

 

[Prongo]

Farabee becoming one hell of a player.

 

[TCTC]

Eichel playing like a passenger is not a good look for a captain/franchise player. He looked like he's given up on his teammates.

That they'd given up makes it worse, though.

quite frankly, i don't think they have the talent. of course eichel and hall are coming up short, but staal is an old man and i always thought skinner was overrated. And I don't know if they have a single defenseman that's worth a shit. Jokiharju might be ok.

 

[Magua]

Kruger not pulling his goalie in the waning minutes of either game this weekend is the hockey equivalent of kicking a field goal at the 1 yard line.

Some moves you don’t need a lot of hindsight to figure out. A mess of a team for a decade hires a 60 year old head coach, with 48 total games of NHL experience for a dumpster fire Oilers team, who was lash employed for 5 years in a soccer league.

I’m all for outside the box, but that always looked like a galaxy brain hire for a team desperately needing stability and known commodities. I actually despise that franchise because of the assets they have and are squandering. And will squander.

 

[Danko]

Farabee becoming one hell of a player.

He reads plays and makes plays much better then last year. Developing nicely. He's doing things that he didn't have the time to do last season. Way more confident.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Rangers and Sabres are trash but its important to win those games too. 3 great wins. A lot of good signs.

This next stretch has a potential to be real fun with a full line up playing well.

 

[marcsson68]

Don‘t be too angry about a lazy third period. They needed to save some fuel.

 

[Henry Miller]

The doom-and-gloom posters should realize that things can be much worse.Imagine being a Buffalo fan.Great to see Hart get the SO.Couts and JVR continue to rack up the points.I wonder how many Couts would have if he didn’t get injured earlier this year

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I checked. The Flyers shutout the Kings three times in four games.

Pelle Lindbergh shutout the Islanders in consecutive games (1985) and three times in a few days but that included the playoffs and wasn't in succession.

And now we have official word:

There is a difference between "outside the box" and "outside of sanity"

 

[Prongo]

Also like everyone else is saying. The teams we played were trash but we got 6 out of 6 points which is what you want. Of course there are details that can be cleaner and improved on but can’t complain too much when you do exactly what you should do.

Dahlin was a number 1 overall pick who's a career -36, widely considered an eventual game changing defenseman

Yeah, it's a marathon, not a sprint. This season especially.

"At least we aren't Buffalo" is a pretty low standard.

 

[Jettany]

Giroux, Provorov, ghost, sanheim====f***ing monsters.

Couturier is even underrated in this thread!

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Buffalo is a top heavy team. The bottom part of their roster pretty much sucks. Goaltending as a whole is terrible too.

 

[BritainStix]

That they'd given up makes it worse, though.

Not really. Hate him all you want, that's intelligent coaching.

No event hockey, get the SO, 2 points and out of the rink. There is nothing to be gained from running up the score and giving them a reason to run around the ice, or for when these teams meet again. That's almost a perfect period for the coaches. The game was over 10 minutes into the 2nd period.
