Post-Game Talk: #64: FLYERS at Blue Jackets, Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019, 7:00 pm ET

[Striiker]

Gotta play to win after you tie it up. That means Hagg is glued to the bench. Didn’t happen. Out in the last two minutes.

With our top guys.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Bringing back the LOS award.

Gordon, Haag, Gudas, Logs of ****

I brought it back for the outdoor game; gave it to Elliott.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Myers needs to be allowed to work out his growing pains, which means he should not be scratched for the remainder of the season.

I agree, but I’d bet money he’s scratched for AMac tomorrow.

We did the exact opposite

 

[bennysflyers16]

We need to bring the LOS back

 

[magnumpi]

I agree, but I’d bet money he’s scratched for AMac tomorrow.

probably, because this is a mickey mouse organization from management to coaching

 

[TheKingPin]

The better team won.

Bright spot: Sanheim, Voracek

Blemishes: Pretty much everything else. Myers had a really rough game; we had to expect some of those would be coming, especially against top competition.

I thought Myers played ok. He made several good plays. I like his game a lot. It’s weird to think he had a bad game and not first reference Hagg or gudas

 

[bennysflyers16]

As close To a lock as their is.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Well that's not ideal

 

[dragonoffrost]

With our top guys.

Our top guys got scored on in OT.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Myers with Sanheim had a wicked SH shift. Myers had some great outlet passes

Not good enough tho, Heavy Andy Slow always trumps speed and skill in Philly.

 

[TheKingPin]

I’ve said it before with sanhiem and Hak, when a rookie makes a mistake you go right back to them. Just look at Bill Belichick. Outside of a fumble, he’s coming right back to you.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It would be so nice for Amac to stay scratched. It would be so nice for them to not make the wrong move with a young guy for what must be the first time in 11 years.

 

[Striiker]

Our top guys got scored on in OT.

So?

 

[Rebels57]

Phew, I have a lot of thoughts after that one.

It was like a playoff game. The top players rose to the occasion and the others wilted.

We saw good Hartman in Game 1 and bad Hartman in Game 2.

Elliott allowed 2 trash goals.

Hagg was awful per usual.

Sanheim is a god damn beast.

We played a good game against a good team in their building. If we gave ourselves even a tiny margin for error by firing Hak a few weeks earlier this loss would be easier to stomach.

We are a playoff team thats going to miss the playoffs and that really sucks.

Oh and throw the entire bank at Panarin.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Can't wait to see Panarin in orange next year

 

[Stizzle]

Unfortunately, we reverted back to Scott Gordon, no possession, hockey for much of the game.

I thought we didn't get much help from the refs tonight either.

Travis Sanheim is obviously a beast. You want the puck in his hands as much as possible, but he still has tools we're not seeing because he's on the off side.

With him on the right side he definitely doesn't break out as much as usual. He'll defer to Ivan a lot if pressure permits. Also, many of his nice blue line pinches with possession are also occuring rarely compared to when he's on the left.

Sanheim is undoubtedly the man. Just don't forget he's doing all this out of position. I think there's still another level for him.

So for Sanheim, that's 12 in his last 14 Games, 10 at ES, playing the wrong side.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Jake had a good game from what I saw.

 

[dragonoffrost]

Come on what? As much as I love Provy he doesn’t have the offensive vision that Myers does, and who gives a **** if it’s his 4 game he should have been up long ago, he’s still a better option then Provy

Last year how many games were won with Coots-TK-Provy as the first shift in OT.

 

[bennysflyers16]

My free agent wish list has 2 names,

Panarin and EK,,,,, that’s it

Think we saw it in evidence last year that Provorov is better when he's not the primary puckhandler on his pair. Provorov has a lot of skills but passing and handling the puck aren't his strengths. Offensively he's best when joining the rush or driving to the net. He needs to have the puck less and Sanheim needs it more.[/QUOTE]

 

[gertbfrobe16]

gordon in post game, uh duh huh duh huh duh uh

 

[orangecrush8]

Hagg had the fewest minutes tonight. He should be out tomorrow, not Myers.

 

[TheKingPin]

So we are 6 pts back and could be 4 if Carolina loses to stl and we beat the devils. Seems possible and not bad. We also play Carolina x2 and get Hart back soon. BUT we play
Caps x 3
Leafs x 2
Isles x 2
Hawks
Habs
Pens

Included in the last month or so. I don’t see us having a shot unless the canes sucks as do Florida and buffalo.

Neither are coming here.

EK is going to Tampa. That's about as known as Tavares going to Toronto was last summer
