Post-Game Talk: #43 | FLYERS (A) vs. Penguins (H) | Thursday, Apr. 15, 2021 | 2-1 win (2-1 SO)

[Fight4yourRight]

Great game by Allison and Hart. Nice to see someone finally have the cajones to go to the dirty areas. I very much enjoyed seeing Hayes getting pissed off at Hart for not going out to play the puck in OT. He looked frustrated as hell today and really has nothing going for him right now. Maybe the anger will wake him up.

How did Allison look?

Probably one of our best skaters tonight, from my perspective. ~11mins. He looked very good and obviously had a lot of spark for his debut. He was engaged offensively, had numerous shots and kept several plays alive behind Pens net and forechecking.

 

[deadhead]

Wait, you think Hagg had a good game?

What do you want from Hagg? Take the puck from his goal to behind the other goal and then make a lame pass that's intercepted? Oh, that's Sanheim.

 

[pit]

Eat shit, Pitt.

The extra t is appreciated.

 

[snoop88]

Wow look what happens when you call up actually good prospects like Wade Allison and not the likes of “Bunny”, “Twarny” and “Sushky”


Now try York and I guarantee he’ll be better than half the dmen in the nightly lineup

I was 46 days old the day that was published....almost 46 years ago.

I always like to tell other hockey fans that I was actually alive the last time the Flyers won a Cup!

Hagg is so bad at puck moving that he was giving it over to Braun when they were together. Braun of all people has to be the puckmover on that pair. It inevitably resulted in Pitt having the puck, but luckily the duo fled the ice after turning it over so a real pairing could defend the result of their play.

You know what I'd like for him not to do? I'd like for him to not relentlessly pinch, fail, and leave his partner to defend against 2-3 players numerous times a game. I'd like for him not to kill quality offensive pressure by ignoring a wide open easy pass to TK so he can lob a shit wrister into a Penguin while totally unpressured. I'd like him not to take circuitous, bizarre paths to his own zone multiple times a game as a forward tries to cover his assignment because he's just wandering around lost. I'd like him to stop bombing unhandleable passes to the blue line that are inevitably recovered by the other team. I'd like him to stop being out of position, and in particular dragging himself out of position chasing players to bump after they've already moved the puck.

I put my tiger pants on one leg at a time, same as anyone.

you know...since your new nickname we are undefeated

We can't expect that from Hagg. There's no way he makes it out of from behind the goal without turning it over. Let's be realistic here.

 

[mja]

What do I want from Hagg? To stop making me watch him "play hockey." Is that too much to ask for?

Allison looked good. Very promising debut.

He seemed a much better hockey player than he was when I saw him as a freshman in college. He’s learned a lot. Kudos to the W. Mich staff.

He was one of the few Flyers who could keep up with the pace of the play, & lord knows the team needs a guy or two with his size, strength, shot, energy, & personality.

Well, he did spend four years in college and is 23.
Whereas Bunnaman and Twarynski had one year in the AHL and were called up at 21.

There's a reason good teams "marinate" prospects.

the more i read and hear Charlie..the more i am sure he is awful

Welp

 

[Swic21]

I am on board with adding Manson. I’ve always liked him, and he would add exactly what this defense needs.

Did you see Letang cone him on goal 1? Woof.

Now we wait for the team to smash all of that positivity out of him.

Delightful!

Allison could have had a hattrick tbh. Really played well along with Hart (outside of the poke check)

 

[Hexxxy]

Allison has on ice awareness. Quickness, head on a swivel, vision, grit. Like Patrick comes to work every day riding out a guaranteed living, burying his head in his cubicle. Into the corner out of the corner. No drive. No grind. Allison is the dude that comes in an hour early to work, asks HR for the stand at his desk rig, and grinds all day like nothing is a given the next day.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

92% now baby! Worth it though, because f*** the Pens.

 

[Harhis]

Well that was very adenoidal.

Keep Allison in.

Take Hagg out for York

Just watched highlights, how was he? Based on highlights he had more scoring chances than NP has had all season.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

15th pick here we come!

The devolution of Charlie appears to be never-ending. Meltzer 2.0 (AKAWorse the 2nd time around).

 

[Beef Invictus]

If he keeps playing like he did tonight, he will score. Very noticeable in a positive way, and made a few good defensive reads too
