Post-Game Talk: #62: Jets 2 at FLYERS 4, Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020, 1:00 pm ET

Really? I think it's gotten worse. Unless the "classics" are the addition of some early 2000's emo, which is the only thing I have noticed.

It definitely hasn't gotten worse lol. That was nearly impossible. I've noticed lots of Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, and even some Tool.

 

[Magua]

This one's for you.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Another thing.

If they are serious about making a push to a favourable matchup against Washington, or home ice - I want to see Hart clearly given the #1 role here.

No back to backs, but he hasn’t played a lot this year. I don’t want to see Elliot and his theme of a weak goal or two every game impact the standings heading down the stretch.

 

[Larry44]

Bunny replacement and thats it

Bunny was pretty good today, and Frost and Patrick could factor in. Pick up a vet cheap but we don’t need to spend good assets for a minimal need.

Cody Eakin would be the type of guy who could help. Good deal too.

 

[Rebels57]

This one's for you.

Something about this combined with a Hak gif gets me every damn time lol

They also need to make sure he's mentally out of this road game funk.

 

[YEM]

I get the angst. We all watched the last few years - but I can’t get to the idea that it’s going to take some lengthy run to make that place energetic again.

it will
it's been 7-8 years since there's been a Flyers team this good and even "this good" is barely 3rd place in the division.

 

[Larry44]

Hagg and Brann were not on the ice for a high danger scoring chance against AND had 1 and 3 assists respectively. Isn't that what you want from a 3rd pairing?

Uh, yes.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Yup. It’s something I’ve questioned for a bit, you are basically just perpetuating this notion that he’s poor on the road by always going to Elliot for away games.

Elliot has served his role, the time has come to bring this relationship to an end.

 

[Rebels57]

 

[Tripod]

It's nice to have a team that has the depth to score goals and help win games.

Like this game, the Jets have 2 very good lines and you can't always just stop them from scoring. It was our depth they got us that win. In years past, that would have been a 2-1 loss.....actually a 3-1 loss because we would have given up an EN goal too.

Just keep winning. Who cares who gets the points to do so.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Quickest win to 35 in the last 10 years.

Great job Fletch and AV

 

[Striiker]

Well if that doesn't make you smile you don't have a heart.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Choked up

 

[Beef Invictus]

I don't think it's that deep. I think that these people literally just forgot how to get f*cking loud and emotional, and it's going to need to remember somehow. That's the best way.

The Hextall/Hakstol era crushed team and fan culture and it's going to take time to fix it.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

There is a lot of angst, and the in-arena presentation is absolutely horrid. It's too much, it doesn't connect with anyone, and it's not helping the situation. Your fans are mostly beer-chugging 45 year old men. Don't play f*cking My Chemical Romance or Tyga or Maren Morris in the arena. Give them a little organ and the same old classic rock: Hell, Giroux and Jake are, respectively, AC/DC and Springsteen enthusiasts. EMBRACE THE DADNESS. Some teams are smart enough to identify that their crowd is older and male.

Maybe it's just selective listening at play but it seemed like they played a lot more "real" music today than they have recently. I recognized, among others, The Clash, The Beatles (!!) and Joan Jett and a lot less womp womp rave garbage and top-20 trash that they normally play. Maybe it was for STH appreciation day? Maybe I just don't pay attention enough to the music they play when I'm watching?

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

The team is playing well there, in particular Hart.

I can’t blame folks, but at some point here you have to let the angst of previous years go. It’s a morgue in there, and with the team as good as they have been - you’d like to see a bit more energy from the home crowd at some point here.

A good playoff showing will change everything, I hope.

 

[FlyerNutter]

The Hextall/Hakstol era crushed team and fan culture and it's going to take time to fix it.

Yup. I think you could have easily sold people on a full fire sale at the start of it - but those years were just horrific. Nobody signed up for that.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Okay okay okay.

In that video of Lind. Along the wall. Grey vest.

Dave Scott. Bahahahaha

 

[Person101]

Quickest win to 35 in the last 10 years.

Great job Fletch and AV

Fletch turned this team around big time. Now dont do anything stupid Monday.

 

[baudib1]

I'm still devastated that Oskar's not playing.

 

[AdamParrot]

These two free seats (Oskar, Patrick)..

Im crying.....

 

[FlyerNutter]

I'm still devastated that Oskar's not playing.

He will be back, and his first goal will be a thing to remember.

 

[BritainStix]

Selfish request, but please keep the Oskar stuff in the Oskar thread. I can't bring myself to look in there, I break down every time I see his big dopey smile. Absolutely breaks me everytime.

 

[Foggy14]

That's just great.

I was a little worried that Jake was going to break him with that bear hug.

Oskar looks like someone who's been going through chemo. Tough stuff, but a positive attitude is super important and he's definitely got one.
