Post-Game Talk: #39 | Flames at Flyers | January 6, 2024 | Flyers win 3-2

[BiggE]

BTW, the record for most SHGs by a Flyer in a single season is 7, shared by Brian Propp, Mike Richards and Mark Howe. TK now has 4 with just over half a season to go.

CORRECTION: TK now has 5!

In Howe’s 10 seasons with Philly, he scored 24 shorties. For a dman, that is unbelievable.

 

[Striiker]

Every $ I have says Torts will get credit for Frosts game.

 

[BiggE]

Howe is also 1st all time in shorties by an NHL dman and 31st overall. Dave Poulin is the highest Flyer on the list at 5th all time.

Clarke, Barber and Richards are also in the top 30.

PK% 2nd
PP% Last

Flyers should just slash someone at the start of each powerplay

Two separate slashes might even be better?
Simply unreal the difference between those two special teams situations...who knew how hard it was to up-skill a PP and but relatively easy to out-aggressive a PK?

Three Stars, in honor of @MiamiScreamingEagles
1. Frost PHI
2. Konecny PHI
3. Markstrom CAL

Is that official or your middle finger to Tortorella?

Propp and Poulin were deadly on shorties.

The guy sitting next to me today was in town this week from Austrialia, and decided to attend. He had a lot of questions, but two stood out. "Is the crowd always this loud?" Yes when we are wining. "Are they always this scrappy?" When They are having a good game, yes.

Deslauriers - 3:36 TOI
Poehling - 9:06
Brink - 9:36
Frost - 13:51

Is Danny boy back from Sweden yet?

Call up a forward who can actually play and tell Torts that if he doesn’t bench Deslauriers then he’ll put him on waivers.

 

[VladDrag]

I wasn’t able to watch the 3rd in full… looks like Brink was benched for the 3rd. Any reasons?

 

[trostol]

Look that's great and all but he didn't just pass..he's been dead for like 7 years

 

[GKJ]

Look that's great and all but he didn't just pass..he's been dead for like 7 years

But if the Flyers did not start honoring his birthday (6 years after he died), his legacy would be forgotten and could not live forever

 

[Danko]

Went to this game for my friends 50th birthday, extremely entertaining game to watch in person. This season and last season are night and day. Last several seasons that building was boring and dead. Had a great time

 

[Fire Tortorella]

I can't think of anything negative...but can't really recall anything positive either.

 

[Danko]

#44 might as well not be playing.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I thought Brink was looking good.

 

[Striiker]

I wasn’t able to watch the 3rd in full… looks like Brink was benched for the 3rd. Any reasons?

He didn’t try to fist fight Torts during the intermission

 

[Canfly]

They score one PP goal and win the game. Do they not see how important a PP can be in the long run?

An afternoon game against Calgary in Philadelphia with Ghislain Hebert refing. Has there ever been a prior such matchup? For ole time sake.

Deslauriers - 3:36 TOI
Poehling - 9:06
Brink - 9:36
Frost - 13:51

This is just ridiculous. Black hole Laughton had more PP time than Frost. Also TK and Couturier at 23/24 minutes is not sustainable. They play every other shift.

Call up a forward who can actually play and tell Torts that if he doesn’t bench Deslauriers then he’ll put him on waivers.

In addition to his inflated salary and term for what he brings, I believe he also has a NMC! Fletcher is the gift that keeps giving.

haha thinking Briere has any say in the roster..

thats cute

 

[Embiid]

Boosh employing the double negative "irregardless" in describing that late hit. Him and Jimmy are double negatives..

 

[VladDrag]

This is just ridiculous. Black hole Laughton had more PP time than Frost. Also TK and Couturier at 23/24 minutes is not sustainable. They play every other shift.

The best part is that Frost wasn’t originally on the PP. He only played because Farabee was in the box for 10 min misconduct. Then, when Brink was benched.

 

[TCTC]

This PK combo of Konecny and Laughton is a joy to watch. Shades of Richards/Giroux.

TK with 5 SHGs already. Nobody's scored more than 7 in an entire season in the last 20 years.
