Monty G spittin fiery truth again

What is this

The Flyers’ chances aren’t going to be about outskating & outskilling teams.

Frost & Farabee aren’t going to tip that battle. Not this year at least.

Their better odds this season against the top of the terrific East are following a CBJ v TB game plan from last year.

Probably tastes like a wet dog, smells.

we will easily get exposed in a 7 game series. Regular season wise they can survive and pull through. In 7 games against deep top teams..laughton in the top 6 and grant+pitlick on the 3rd line is just scary. If laughton can go with grant and pitlick on the 4th it lessens the load. or just put grant there and scratch thompson...thomspon was just a stupid trade

Yeah, I could not disagree more. Thompson is fine as a 4th line center, good pk and faceoff guy. Laughton is in a better spot at LW and playing with confidence. Smart trade for the playoffs, neither Frost or Farabee are ready for the physicality of the playoffs yet. Hopefully by protecting JVR on the 3rd line he can start putting the puck in the net. Next year we should see Farabee and Frost ready to go with an extra 10-15lbs.

 

[Rebels57]

After 63 games in 2018, the Flyers were actually briefly in 1st place in the Metro. I have no recollection of this.

 

[flyerslducks]

Laughton is on pace for 40 ES points in the middle 6. Its time for people to recognize hes not a 4th liner.

With you on the rest of your point though.

not a top 6 guy. I like laughts but we won't win with him there. Keep him on 3 line wing and we will be much harder to play against

Also, if we are going to roll with this lineup we need more offense (ahem ghost). Even though we have been doing really well without him..we need old ghost badly

rookies play in the playoffs all the time. This notion they can't hang is ludicrous. Also, "protecting" jvr by playing him with grant and pitlick....the only thing you are protecting is him not getting any points

1. we don't need another faceoff/pk guy when we have a ton of those already
2. we needed more scoring and more depth in that department. If the goal was to get two centers so that we don't need to rely on bunnaman then you should've gone after trocheck, thornton, etc. Those guys would've helped a lot more than thompson. Grant should be our 3c, making thompson redundant

 

[flyerslducks]

If Hart is on the top of his game the Flyers will have a chance for sure. This is a well coached and talented team it’s just Pitt, Boston, Washington and Tampa will be extremely hard to beat this playoffs.

lol yes and all are first round options

Any night owls? Kings are actually winning. Go LA!

I lived in Seattle for 10 years before coming back east. I miss 10 am football and monday night football over by 8.

When you are missing your 2LW and 3C for the season, Laughton becomes really damn important filling in either role.

 

[patrick kitchin]

I hate Crosby so much........

 

[flyerslducks]

When you are missing your 2LW and 3C for the season, Laughton becomes really damn important filling in either role.

in reality it depends on how grant plays as well. If grant can play adequately on 3c then it will allow us to play laughton on 2nd line wing and we don't lose a step. Grant needs to be more than just a shutdown center with JVR on his line though.

 

[patrick kitchin]

Woo hoo! 2-0 go Kings!!!!!

 

[flyerslducks]

kings up 2!!! Huge goal

Georgiev at Montreal on Thursday for the Rangers, so the Flyers should get old man Hank.

 

[flyerslducks]

awesome. We at home too so we have to take advantage of this. Would you start hart or elliot in this one? Hart might be a sure win at home

 

[patrick kitchin]
