Post-Game Talk: #59: FLYERS 3 at Red Wings 1, Sunday, Feb. 17, 2019, 6:00 pm ET

How'd Martha end up 2nd star with no goals or assists?

Home cooking, pure and simple.

He missed on shots that should have been goals,

and lost a fight to guy who is 3 inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter.



Mantha, with all due respect, you suck!

 

[Dicky Dangles]

Mantha makes me think of Mothra, and I don't like Mothra. Mothra creeps me out. Like Mantha.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Simmonds is built like a shaved chicken but he's strung together with anger.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Mantha makes me think of Mothra, and I don't like Mothra. Mothra creeps me out. Like Mantha.

I've been trying to acquire that movie all night. And failing. You're rubbing it in.

 

[baudib1]

Think that fight is a draw at best. Simmonds throws more punches but it seems like Mantha connected solidly 3 times to Simonds maybe twice.

Moe Mantha. Also like Mothra.

Nope.

The experts at hockeyfights.com have Simmer at 56.3%,

and they are never wrong.

 

[OzFlyers]

So it looks like it's Montreal we are chasing now. They have come back down to earth and have lost their last 3 games.
It should be an interesting game on Thursday!!

 

[Magua]

I love how Mantha keeps getting auto corrected to Martha in some of you guys' posts.

Ahhhh Martha......I remember her well.....

A godly woman of eternal patience put on this earth by the Almighty to suffer, as Job did. And in so doing, test her moral fiber and devotion to the Lord. For only one truly deserving of salvation could enter into marriage with Jefe Hootenanny.

We may be free of him. But Martha suffers still. Pray for her.

*wakes up again*

HOW THEY ARE USING GHOST MAKES MY EYES RAIN

*passes back out*

 

[BritainStix]

Fairly sure Ghost is hurt. He doesnt have any turning speed right now. Watch as larking and Mantha blow past him like he doesnt exist.

I think Gordon is trying to reduce the guys ice time to help him out. I hope its not a recurance of the last injury.

 

[dragonoffrost]

Moe Mantha. Also like Mothra.

So glad Martha ain't his son.

I’m not dumb enough to be happy with bad decisions simply because we won.

I’m a big picture person. It not costing us a win this time doesn’t prevent it from costing us in the future, which you can bet your life it will sooner than later if this continues.

The Flyers have won 12 of 14. The Flyers blue line play proves more than ever that they need to acquire a top 4 dman. With all the complaining about McDonald and crying for Gostisbehere. Sanheim's regressed play is getting overlooked. They need a competent dman added to these kids. They can't have 6 kids on the blue line next year. The crazy thing is that if Myers play proves to be NHL ready who you have pining for, makes Gostisbehere more susceptible to be traded. I personally just want to replace McDonald with a top 4 NHL dman in off season....how do you do that?

Ok.

If they don't move any Dmen and Myers is added:

Provorov
Sanheim
Ghost
Gudas
Hagg
Myers
MacDonald

Buy out Macdonald, trade Gudas to free up space. Now you got 5 guys, get a Top 4 guys as you are requesting. Play Hagg/Myers on the 3rd pairing for now.

Provy/Sanheim
Ghost/New Guy
Hagg/Myers

Schlemko as the 7th

I don't see the add a Top 4 guy and you have to trade Ghost move here.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Saw the highlights. Some of Hart's saves were incredible. It's still hard to fathom as a Flyers fan we have him. We deserve him after all these years.

Classic Farmer play on that giveaway to Mantha

Hagg's ice time was also awful, especially compared to Ghost. Why is it so difficult to play the better players? f*** me.

Nice job Simmonds to fight that dbag. Unfortunate he didn't knock him out.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

That was an ugly game though. This is a team game though and now we finally have a full team with competent, reliable netminding.

I genuinely wonder what our record would have been like with Hart under Hak.

You mean on injured reserve like rest of them?

They don’t have 6 kids.

Provorov plays like a vet, Ghost is the same age as Couturier, Sanheim doesn’t play like a kid, Gudas is obviously not a kid either... only Myers and Morin are inexperienced enough to be notable.

And Myers has no effect on Ghost. He’s not a comparable level of player.

No moves are necessary, outside of dumping or burying Hagg and MacDonald. The defense isn’t a problem at all if used properly. Making moves for the sake of making moves would be an awesome way to f*** the team.

22, 22, 22, 23, 25, 28,

I don't think that's too young considering Sanheim and Provy are clearly capable of top 4 minutes.

Adding a veteran D will mean a log jam which we have suffered long enough already.

Ghost and Myers can absolutely co-exist. We need more capable D with puck moving skills, not less

What is this? Facts? Get out!

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Hagg 19:51 lololol

Ironically that’s what decade his game is tailor made for.

 

[Striiker]

Pretty stupid of me, right?

Sports are no place for facts. No facts, only feels... aka intangibles.

 

[Curufinwe]

Can I get a gif of the MacDonald turnover?

 

[Curufinwe]

He really needs to. As well as they are playing on this run, it is not realistic that they virtually run out the table to catch the last wildcard (for the right to be exhausted by playoff time and thereby decimated by Tampa Bay).

NHL Hockey Standings
Tied with Buff, but 5 behind Carolina and 6 behind Pitt and CBJ.
Now, CBJ may fade with Panarin and Bobrovsky are dealt. I don't see Pitt collapsing and Carolina is almost as hot as the Flyers right now.

It's still fun watching the kids really blossom. I only caught part of 2nd today, but Myers looked pretty good in the highlights. Hart, Sanheim and Provy are studs. Patrick, Lindblom, Konecny are playing lights out. Laughton is solid. Let's go Flyers!

Don't forget the nice assist on the GWG by JVR!

 

[Curufinwe]

Gordon isn't a good coach? Really? You're passing judgement on him already?

How can you do that when he has a flawed roster? By your standards, repeated often, you cannot judge him yet.

Results seem a lot better under Gordon. I guess adding Hart fixed the PK, and the PP.

Flyers PP: 12.9% under Hak, 22.9% under Gordon.

Flyers PK: 73.5% under Hak, 81.6% under Gordon.

FWIW I think the PP change is just luck, but Gordon definitely had an effect on the PK
