Post-Game Talk: #60: Blue Jackets 1 at FLYERS 5, Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2020, 7:00 pm ET

[Appleyard]

I feel quite confident saying the Flyers are a better, more talented team than the Blue Jackets and Islanders. It’s Carolina who should be our competition for the 3rd spot in the Metro. So continue to prove it on Thursday. Hopefully, Andrew Peeke’s skates are ready.

Giroux also with 11 points in his last 6 games. Now that the PP ****ery is behind us (knock on Therrien’s wooden brain) and with those juicy Couturier minutes, I wouldn’t put 70 points past him. Which would be a hell of a finish.

Now on pace for 63...

but if he keeps the pace he has had over the last 6 games for the remaining 22 he will finish with 86 points.

Provorov as Stalin

Giroux now has 11 points in his past 6 games. For those of you who observed him this season and thought he "wasn't the same player" or had "lost a step," how do you explain this turnaround?

letssss gooooo

Done and washed up. Strip the C and trade him for futures.

 

[Rebels57]

That was f***ing sexy

 

[AaronTrieu]

Top 8 in the nhl and we will only add more skill , it’s insane the turnaround from last year.

Adding a healthy Patrick will be incredible.

JVR Nolan Pitlick
Laughton Bunny NAK
Raffl

that’s a deep bottom 6

just need to subtract Michel Therrien and next year should be fun

 

[Jtown]

let it go.

 

[bennysflyers16]

And wow are we blessed to have Provy.

Just gets better and better everyday

 

[Rebels57]

The officiating was f***ing C O M I C A L

Columbus got away with AT LEAST 6 obvious penalties. I counted 3 trips (Bunny and 2 others) 1 hold (Provy), 1 high stick (TK), and 1 hook (NAK).

No wonder they lead NHL in games without penalties taken. The new batch of refs is scared shitless of Torts.

 

[Curufinwe]

Sanheim + Myers were a combined +5.

this is his best stretch of the year. There is no doubt that there were times during the year where he was performing poorly.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

The inclusion of bowl cut guy made me smile.

 

[orangecrush8]

Huge win!

Do it again Thursday

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

Thanks for getting the mountains back into these

 

[Here4ThaLids]

Rest bonus: Coaches did a good job of spreading the wealth despite the special teams imbalance, all forwards under 20 mins TOI and Couts kept under 16 (!), all defensemen 18-22 mins except our indestructible uncle Vanya (22:49).

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Important win. Going to have to be a little better Thursday, because you sure as hell cant expect to get the insane bounces the Flyers got tonight.

Not often you win 5-1 when getting outshot 29-15 & outchanced 17-11.

Hart quietly had a good game.

Did you see that PP? He quite clearly 'lost a step'.

That's uhh, you know, what we meant the whole time.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Sanheim + Myers were a combined +5.

Dont understand their detractors, by far the most exciting part about our current and future D pairs.

 

[patrick kitchin]

PLEASE DO SOMETHING NASHVILLE

I've got Center Ice. Gonna watch the third period but don't get your Hope's up.

 

[Rebels57]

Sanheim + Myers were a combined +5.

They were f***ing fantastic tonight

 

[Jtown]

flyers linked to jeff carter? wtf?

 

[Striiker]

Well we had quite a few crazy lucky goals but I'll take all of them. We had enough bad luck, we deserve some good.

At 5v5...
45.35 CF%
40.53 xGF%
60.00 HDCF%

So, they had more chances at 5v5 and some extended shifts against that trash 3rd pair, but we had the better quality chances.

Hagg still sucks. Lucky as all hell, but still a terrible player. 29.03 CF% (worst on team), 32.61 xGF% (3rd worst on team).

Myers with the highest CF% and xGF% on the team. He and Sanheim were very good. Easily our best pair tonight.

Also Giroux is a beast and that PP assist was the perfect way to take 1st place in franchise history in PP points. Great pass by TK and great shot by Voracek too.
Speaking of Giroux, he's now at 11 points in his last 6 games.

 

[bennysflyers16]

flyers linked to jeff carter? wtf?

Was a Friedman article speculating maybe if Patrick isn’t returning. Doesn’t make much sense at all

 

[Rebels57]

That Giroux PP assist..my god.

Never forget that Therrien kept G on the right side of the PP for like 50 games lmfao

 

[Adam Warlock]

22 games left. 14-8 puts that at 101 points. That should be enough to get in. I think that is tough but doable.
