Post-Game Talk: #57 FLYERS 5 at Wild 4, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019, 8:00 pm ET

[Rebels57]

Spurgeon?

I think I heard his name once lol

 

[Oskar Man]

2 assists
+3

Sanheim was a monster

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Serious question: When did insanely skilled players trying wacky things that sometimes blow up in their faces go from endearing to evil?

Or was it always that way for fans but the media covered it differently?

 

[FlyerNutter]

“Ivan Provorov in a 3rd overtime playoff game, going end to end”

He played 30:19 tonight. Damn.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Sounds good in theory, but that puts Simmer and JVR together.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

We need a Jeremy Roenick on Eric Desjardins style knock out to happen to Andrew MacDonald, only way to get Myers in it seems is an injury substitution. This organization either loves MacDonald or he has some serious dirt on people.

Or someone sleeps with McD's wife, a-la-Lindros et Brind'Amour affair, and McD promptly gets shipped out.

 

[tictactoe]

22 years old 30min of ice time is no joke.

 

[Rebels57]

2 assists

Sanheim was a monster

I was hard on him last night but tonight he gave me a hard-on.

 

[baudib1]

Sanheim looked like Paul Coffey flying down the right side on his first assist.

 

[Rich Nixon]

damn shame about last night, standings would have looked pretty today.

 

[CSKA1974]

OFFICIAL THREE STARS

1. Giroux
2. Spurgeon
3. Kunin​

I believe Pigeon got misspelled

During the dead puck era? I remember people making jokes about Phil Housley being caught up ice all the time when I started watching hockey seriously. I posted a few months back that Denis Savard wouldn't be allowed to play in the NHL today.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I think I heard his name once lol

The goal he scored was a total fluke*, too. Really weird choice.

*combined with terrible goaltending.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Embrace the rage.

25 games left.

 

[Oskar Man]

I've said it before, Sanheim is a Clydesdale and will be an absolute monster in the next few years.

If Phil pans out this D core is going to be crazy good

 

[Foggy14]

Really proud of the team!

G really brought it in the last half of that game.

Stoli could have folded, but didn't. Great job.

JvR reminds me of a fullback who scores 12 touchdowns in a season on 38 total yards rushing.

Bailey looked fast in his 4:44 TOI. I guess rolling four lines isn't our thing.

Sanheim had some very smart and effective plays tonight.

Who makes up these schedules??? One team has a huge night game, then travels and plays the next night. The other has the night off then plays at home. This crap really affects the competitive balance of games.

And the refs??? Greenway's stick??? Jeez.

 

[bennysflyers16]

That Giroux rocket too, wow

 

[baudib1]

He had a relatively quiet night but I thought Patrick had a couple of really nice plays. He had a takeaway at their blue line at one point that led to a decent scoring chance. I remember him doing that a lot last year when he started to get going and he hasn't done that much this year.

*slow clap*

If both are as good as we think they could be, Ghost is expendable.

 

[flyershockey]

Fun hockey is fun to watch again.

His skating is what I’m noticing the most.

He’s got the frame to be able to make those power moves and I think he’s starting to see he can pull it off. Rosy cheeks will be fine.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I believe Pigeon got misspelled

One man's sturgeon is another man's pigeon. Sounds fishy to me.

When Patrick is moving his feet he's unstoppable. He's actually one of the few players on this team who can make skilled plays while moving at top speed. I don't understand why he spent 2/3 of the season just floating.

 

[Beef Invictus]

That Giroux rocket too, wow

That would have been a superhuman save. He put that on open net as hard as he could from in close. The back of the puck must have temporarily been a goo.
