Post-Game Talk: #27: FLYERS 6 @ Sabres 2

[LegionOfDoom91]

He doesn't offer much these days but he still manages to put the puck in the net somehow. That is a quality.
Not worth 6+ million but I wouldn't call him addition by subtraction.

When the guy gets a lot of favorable usage that he doesn’t really do enough with it is. He’s fifth amongst forwards in average ES time & fourth in PP time (4th in overall average time).

He’s very replaceable at this point & they’re never going to really decrease that usage given who he is.

I’ve heard that Hakstol pushed for Stolarz.

He pushed for the guy he barely played when Hextall put him on the Flyers in 16-17, and who missed almost the 17-18 season and who struggled in his only three 18-19 AHL games? Yeah, that sounds like Hak. Always giving the kids the benefit of the doubt.

 

[KrazyKat]

You know what the best part of the last 3 goals were? That they were scored around and in front of the net. Take note Hakslob.

Couldn’t agree more. 50 don’t mean nothing if players arnt in front of the net.

Dear Mr Hakstol,

I have heard you watch a lot of tape. Please spend some time watching this game to see where is a better spot to score goals from.

Thanks.

Just watching some highlights, has Giroux's shot improved this year? He has scored two beautiful wrist shot goals off the rush the last couple games

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Belated addition:

 

[CapnZin]

propose your ideal lines then.

Giroux - Patrick - TK
JVR - Couts - Voracek
Lindblom - Laughton/X - Simmer
Raffl - Laughton/X - Weise

Provorov - Ghost
Sanheim - Gudas
Hagg - Myers

If ever there was a case where “Hakstol had no other choices” it was playing Stolarz.

Both starting goalies were injured. Lyon flopped. Pickard was a desperation choice who couldn’t stop a puck, and Stolarz went in only when he got shelled, and then ran with the job.

 

[BillDineen]

Voro looked good with JVR and Simmonds. A decent coach would have stuck with that longer and given Voro the opportunity to work out kinks.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Not sure if this was posted or not yet, but some of you neanderthals need to start showing some respect.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Can someone explain this to me?

 

[BillDineen]

dude if we play like today we will make the playoffs.

 

[BillDineen]

Can someone explain this to me?

Probably not on Hextall's meal regiment.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Can someone explain this to me?

The hatchet job that came out on Hextall after he was fired said he was a fascist about their food - here you can see them eating wings, so they are "free" from his tyranny.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Man that was fun. This is where I'd normally suggest that there were tweaks, but they were trying the same offensive pressure against Buffalo last time too so I guess it's just a team they match well with. So there are a small handful of teams they play and look like an NHL team.


That Weise goal is exactly why I've been carving my front door to look like Raffl's face. What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty mighty good man.

 

[Legion of Gloom]

I am happy J.V.R. scored and another solid game by Stolarz

 

[magnumpi]

I’ve heard that Hakstol pushed for Stolarz.

Hak is the man

 

[Adtar02]

Moving g back to center and Patrick to 3c. May help Patrick. Better matchups. More of a sheltered role. Coots and g would do the heavy lifting. They would see better mins two. As you could spread out the tougher ones.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Fun game to be at. Lots of orange in the stands.

The Sabres fans losing their minds at the officials only to give up a short handed goal 25 seconds after they finally got a PP was glorious.

Giroux was great. Provorov looked confident.

I lost it at Hagg for that dumb shot he took in the third period after the flyers had the zone for about 35 seconds. Unscreened wrist shot from the boards that was shoulder high and and had no chance for a rebound. He might as well of given the puck to the Sabres. And this isn’t the first time it’s happened either.

Hagg flings a soft shot and kills offense:

 

[wuf]

Stolie THE goalie. His job to lose.

 

[CSKA1974]

Neuvirth cameo!

He is day-to-day with UBI after lifting that wing

 

[Lindberg]

Could Stolie be our savior? Would be kind of funny given how much emphasis there is with Carter Hart. Hakstol needs to not be an idiot and ride him into the ground though.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Giroux reminds me of yzerman, except better.

Long way off from Stevie Yzerman...

 

[tucson83]

Hak is the man

he's not going to here.
