Ersson can play. They should be shopping Hart.

But they won’t. Idiots

 

[Flyer lurker]

2 shootouts wins all ready

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

I'm all for losing games for a better draft pick but it's always a good night when the Flyers beat the Penguins.

f***ing love seeing the pens dragged down to our level. awesome that crysby's twilight years are being wasted.

also, pretty glad that the points are finally coming for Foerster.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I had to miss this one too. Family dinner halfway across Maryland. What went down?

Good honest hockey. A come back for the ages on this one

[Henry Miller]

Maybe Flyers will sneak in the 7/8 spot in the playoffs. Maybe Hart channels his inner JS Giguere and the Flyers win the cup and we are all stunned and don’t know how to take it or what to make of it

 

[Flyerfan4life]

cant wait for that 12 OA pick that does nothing for the teams chances at grasping the cup.

yea us...

Lol Penguins

Ersson single-handedly turning Flyers' shootout history around

Good for Foerster again. Not sure why Atkinson is an OT option these days

 

[dats81]

Finally, a goalie that is actually good at this shootout thing.

 

[Sombastate]

Foerster starting to look really god damn good. I mean he has for several weeks, but the points are coming. Good for him

 

[Curufinwe]

TK is now 2 for 17 in shootouts. Not unusual for a good regular goal scorer to struggle in the SO, though. As a Flyer, Carter went 3 for 19, and Schenn was 1 for 12.

Their SO numbers got a lot better once they left Philly.

 

[VladDrag]

Agreed 100%, and just to add to this, Foerster’s analytical numbers thru this part of the season are very good. He’s been a strong player through this part of the season. It was only a matter of time before the points started coming.

It will be interesting to see what he turns into.

not sure why he is an option...period

The problem with this is...
1. Laughton not traded
2. Walker, Seeler not traded
3. Most definitely Hart, TK not traded and TKs next contract is going to be bad on the back end. They already have several of these to deal with
4. At the end of the day, the team is not good enough as constructed to win a playoff series, let alone the Stanley Cup

From what Briere has said over the last half year or so and reiterated on STG this week, trades are going to happen. Just a matter of who and when. Actually right now with so many teams still thinking that they are in the hunt for a PO spot, the demand for Flyers players and the return for them should be high.
I'm keeping in mind that Briere has stated that he is focused long term on a rebuild not a cheap meaningless PO run. That might put him at odds with his HC but that doesn't matter. The more that the young guys play well, the better Briere's strategy looks. Ex.- last night's win was due to Foerster and Ersson. Torts' vet pets didn't do it. In fact Staal almost cost them the game single handedly.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The shit players will continue to suck, but the pattern continues of someone has usually stepped up. Forester, TK, the goaltending ect. They won’t be as bad as last year for that reason. Will they make the playoffs? Probably not but it just seems like they are not going to be a easy out most nights

 

[macleish1974]

Pitiful performance.

But Linda was around well before this with the Stone Poneys. She had a hit in '67. A great make-out song. One favorite make-out place was on Creek Road, outside of Newark,DE, it meandered for about 5 miles or so into PA. Followed White Clay Creek for you living in DE. Wow! 56 years ago.

Staal is not specific to Torts. Staal was someone Briere was embarrassingly raving about, after he signed. Speaking of how lucky they were that a marquee free agent like Staal was interested in the Flyers.
