Post-Game Talk: #37 | Wednesday, Dec. 28 | Flyers 3 at Blues 6

[Curufinwe]

Raffle practiced today in regular colors so he's not far away.

 

[bennysflyers16]

The first line had like 75% of the chances. They did well. Not well enough to win obviously, but can't blame this one on them at all.

Not anshot at Leier at all, but
Schenn G Jake
TK Couts Simmer
Leier Cousins Weise

Has to happen next game

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Flyers still have to play San Jose and Anaheim on the road during this slump. Then Rags at home on the 4th 2017.

 

[Rebels57]

First line was OK imo, and Leier was good on that line with his speed and forechecking, even if he needs to try to create a little more offensively. Love 'em but Jake had a horrendous night though. They still did OK, but he was just terrible all game.

Jake had no jump whatsoever. Was skating in quick sand. Must have had dinner at moms over the holiday.

 

[Magua]

They just like him better than the fans do. If their goal was just to fulfill the ED requirement he'd be playing in a limited role instead of their go to "shutdown" pairing with Provorov.

Yep, anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves. This coaching staff is so damn mercurial when it comes to liking and disliking players. It boggles the mind how quickly they change their opinion of someone being crap to indispensable or the other way around.

 

[SuchySays]

Weird game.

 

[Curufinwe]

Momentum shifted every time a team lost the lead. Crazy game and in the end they were the better team.

Yup. At least Parayko didn't break his goose egg on us.

So where does Schenn go if he's ready, 3rd line LW/C and Leier goes down ?

 

[PK16]

The first line had like 75% of the chances. They did well. Not well enough to win obviously, but can't blame this one on them at all.

G and Leier each had zero SOG. Voracek with 3. Not what I would call a real good game and certainly not 75% of the chances.

Could really make or break us.

They have risen to challenges all season so hopefully they do again.

It might but you're missing the VDV-PEB-Lyubimov line as the 3rd line.

 

[WIP CALLER]

Their 3rd goal was the key, and it was a bit of a lucky one for the Blues. After that they just dominated.

LOL you pick the one goal macdonald wasnt out there against as the key. The other 4 goals against while he was out there not covering his man and screening mason weren't key at all and had nothing to do with the loss? No more almost as bad as boxcar... You are officially as bad as boxcar.

I would rather light myself on fire than see Schenn on the top line again.

That lineups fine but flip Schenn and Leier.

 

[Magua]

G and Leier each had zero SOG. Voracek with 3. Not what I would call a real good game and certainly not 75% of the chances.

They were on ice for 7/18 5v5 scoring chances for. Only 3/20 scoring chances against.

They had a lot of o-zone time. They didn't do a ton of really quality stuff besides cycling, but they were fine.

Right?

Guys go from scratched to top pairing defensemen.

Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Put Provorov and Gudas together and give us one super-dependable D pair for christ sakes.

I wouldn't call it a slump yet. They had a great game against Washington. NJ was bad, but tonight they played a pretty good team that's extremely tough to beat at home.

1-3-1 in last 5 games. That is a slump.

Does that equal 75%?

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i try not to harp on Amac cuz i think hes over used and his contract makes him so hateable..

but my god he was bloody awful tonite...

 

[Striiker]

G and Leier each had zero SOG. Voracek with 3. Not what I would call a real good game and certainly not 75% of the chances.

They missed the net a bunch but they were the only line with sustained pressure in the offensive zone that had a chance to score. Konecny and Simmonds were good too but other than that the top line was the best at 5v5, even with those shot totals.

By the way, 75% was just an arbitrary number I tossed out, don't get hung up on that.

 

[Magua]

Whoever said that was clearly exaggerating, but he wasn't wrong in that they were fine and the best line

 

[Appleyard]

The first line had like 75% of the chances. They did well. Not well enough to win obviously, but can't blame this one on them at all.

Yep. 1st line played fine tonight.

Created most of our chances and outplayed the Blues when they were on ice.

Ofc you would have liked them to get a goal or spur something... but them cannot do it every single night just by law of averages.

 

[Alchemy]

Id like to start seeing Stolarz play more.

No easy first game for Neuvy in there either

I thought the Konecny Simmonds Schenn line was better.
