Post-Game Talk: #56 Penguins at FLYERS, Monday, Feb. 11, 2019, 7:00 pm ET

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Garbage ****ing result, but the opposition showed their (lack of) character, as usual, so we tuck that moral victory into our handbag and burn up the phone lines to GMs.

 

[tictactoe]

Well I hope after this garbage performance they go on 10 games winning streak... Raffl on PP as a 6th forward in the end of the game with playoffs on the line, TK on 4th line.. flat out trash coaching.

 

[Chinatown88]

Fire up the Jack Hughes express!

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Is what it is. Must win game, and against this organization - again they lose.

Gordon really deserves lot of heat for this one.

Sticking with an obviously failed first PP experiment for too long, demoting Konecny/promoting Raffl, and that g-c-v line that produced nothing.

He didn’t help them at all tonight.

They had everything but the finish. It happens. People have crazy unrealistic expectations

No one in particular deserves any heat for this game

 

[Glak18]

well that is pretty much the season.

At least we can now start talking TDL, Draft and Free Agency, new coach and young kids

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

So many missed f***ing calls by the Refs. Crazy amount of shots by the Flyers though.

Seriously, there should have been two penalties against the Pens that were drawn by Raffl in the 3rd period alone.

Also, f*** Gordon for making TK play less than 10 minutes tonight.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Effort was there, I can’t complain

 

[bennysflyers16]

I give two f***s about bounces, those coaching decisions in the 3rd were putrid.

 

[TCTC]

Would've been a different game if it wasn't for that stupid ref and his quick whistle.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

EXACTLY RIGHT...ESPECIALLY COMING FROM AN HABITUALLY DIRTY PLAYER THAT CONTINUALLY GETS AWAY WITH ****ING MURDER.

He’s never been suspended so he’s clean.

Don’t you know that?

 

[Larry44]

Really good first two periods.

But then awful changes lines by Gordon and 3rd was really bad.

BIG MINUS for you Scott for tonight game.

Stage too big for the coach. Panicked. Bring on coach Q. Chuck, sell everything.

 

[CutOnDime97]

That sucks. Peppered Murray, shit call on goal #1 and f*** Malkin.

 

[baudib1]

I'm going to stay positive and hope the NHL does the right thing and suspends Malkin for at least 5 games. We can get right back in it if that happens.

Good performance overall, this has to be the most dominating Corsi/xG performance by a Flyers team vs. the Pens in years.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I thought JVR did nothing to help them win.

Hart with an iffy game.

Gordon with some questionable decisions and Mac/Hagg with the usual crap. Fourth line largerly just warm bodies.

This one hurt. Wanted Hart to get the record.

 

[TCTC]

well that is pretty much the season.

Probably. You never know though.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Flyers played great in every way but the score. It happens. Refs didn't help. Unfortunately, this is just the position the team is in after a horrid start. Good on Hart for tying the win streak record, even if it wasn't his night. I'm just not that negative right now. It was a helluva game. I came away entertained for 2.5 hours.

Patrick may have been the best player on the ice. My lord, it's like he's skating at a gear he's never reached and consistently backing off defenders with his skill. Even on the PP, it's like he was QBing the half wall with more confidence and determination than ever. I ****ing love it. This looks like a future 1C. I'd love even more to see Giroux on his wing right now. It's time. Oh, and given we lost, how 'bout some Myers?

This is the rational take. Tip your hat to Murray. We’ve been stoked about our goaltending finally carrying us and we just got absolutely stone walled. It happens. f*** it.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Wow, just hard to focus on any positives. I can't type enough profanities to properly capture my hatred of the f***ing Pens. f*** them, I hope they all get ball cancer.

Guess I'll watch "The Road" to lighten the mood.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Not everyone was perfect, sure. You'll win 90% of the time you play like that

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Remember when they were getting their faces caved in while winning under Hakstol and many were still miserable? Apply the same principle. It doesn’t stop making sense when it’s inconvenient.

Now I’m off to watch Abducted in Plain Sight. I’ll bet what this family does makes more sense than some of the Flyers’ usage.

 

[Embiid]

Hakstol screwed our season.....nice job hayseed!

 

[Krazed Flyer]

Ill see you next time boys, gunna go find me some refs and take them to my farm upstate. Whatever you hear in the news, it wasn't me

 

[KrazyKat]

I don’t know why people are getting mad. Konecny hasn’t done a thing. At least Raffl was skating hard tonight.

Anyways. Tough loss. Not Hart’s best game.

JVR pisses me right off

 

[Striiker]

You play like that in 100 games and you win 99, while scoring 5+ goals in most.

Any frustration should be directed at the horrific coaching, incompetent refs, and just pure terrible luck.

Blasting individual players after a game like that doesn’t make much sense. Even the typically horrible ones were tolerable because the team overall dominated and made them almost invisible.

I was certainly entertained and really happy with how they looked overall.

 

[TCTC]

Gordon has done a good job. When he took over we weren't even thinking about playoffs.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Ill see you next time boys, gunna go find me some refs and take them to my farm upstate. Whatever you hear in the news, it wasn't me

JVR pisses me right off

Down 2 goals, we don’t want to check, we need to score 3 goals. You can’t see why Raffl over TK is wrong, really ?????
