Stone-hands 3Couturier stumbled his way into a goal, eh?

 

[Johnk0728]

I mean, while I dont think too many are getting over-excited... but the Flyers have been one of the best ~10 teams in the NHL so far this year.

Just a shame like 7/10 of the best are in the East!

Really? I thought the coach sucked and w/o #53 the team cannot be good....no way.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I said it yesterday, wonder when Elliot gets his next start , maybe SJ ?

Looks good for Carter to go on a little run here.

Pretty smug for a guy who demanded any talk of NAK end in June, and called Laughton a "borderline NHLer with no offensive upside". Both of those guys are doing pretty well in the Flyers bottom 6, don't you think.

 

[DancingPanther]

well f*ck me running

Ok

 

[landsbergfan]

Ok

so how does this work now...do you run? do I run?

 

[Rich Nixon]

Yes and no. The Myers goal was a lucky bounce, but one that he was absolutely looking for by putting the puck there. The Konecny goal was a tip and happened exactly as he intended. The Couturier goal could well have been intended.

I think the Couturier goal was actually intentional. He lifted his stick pretty dramatically after he let it drift, like it was a fake...and he did actually score one just like that by accident earlier this season, so he probably stored that in his memory bank.

They were talking about it on the broadcast last night, and it will be an interesting decision.

On the one hand, Hart played well last night, and needs to get his road game going.

On the other, that is the only road game for a while, so do you go Elliott?

My guess is Hart.

you both run.......in place.

Typically people run away from me

I’m thinking we lucked our way to a lot of goals for, but shut them down on defense but maybe now we will skill them more and win that way.

 

[Irvdog13]

If we get good goaltending we only need to get to three and CBJ is finding ways to lose finally. Next one is a big game....says cap'n obvious.

Only 7 more years of paying him $1.6M per year to NOT play for the Flyers.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Shit, are we allowed to swear here now? f***, that'd be cool.

Edit: apparently the F-word now just autocorrects to all-lowercase with the one star . Keep your f***s for mid-sentence I guess.

 

[dragonoffrost]

Only 7 more years of paying him $1.6M per year to NOT play for the Flyers.

Given the choice to have him playing with the contract or be paid to stay far away from this team after our Beloved owner forced the space cadet down our throats.

I'll take the option to pay him to be far away.

Shameless self promotion?

 

[bobbythebrain]

People claiming Hagg can't pass and everything he does is "luck".

Last game he intentionally clapped it for a bank pass 2x instead of a board rim, made several nice ozone passes, including a very sweet last second adjustment slap pass to TK on that tip

 

[marcsson68]

Yes and no. The Myers goal was a lucky bounce, but one that he was absolutely looking for by putting the puck there. The Konecny goal was a tip and happened exactly as he intended. The Couturier goal could well have been intended.

Intended? That’s what I meant with „over-excited“.

I do agree though that some of the bounces were forced (Hayes, Myers). Well done, but still puck luck added up a lot in that game.

 

[Striiker]

Hagg last game at 5v5...

29.03 CF%
32.61 xGF%

1 shot on the BJs goal when he was on the ice
13 shots against
But that 1 shot on goal went in and none of the 13 against did...
100.00 on-ice shooting %
200.0 PDO


Not luck, boys. That's skill.

Always think about this when I see mention of the Bryz situation:

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Most Stanley Cup winners have an enormous amount of puck luck. I am not above winning as ugly as possible. I don’t care if Hagg ices the puck and it goes in to win in OT of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
