The Avs sucked for a decade while the Flyers didn’t or so I’m told.Only difference between the two teams is an aggressive retool.

Also Sakic is lucky and Fletcher is sabotaged.
Oh. I am being 110% sarcastic in the vast majority of my posts. I’m mocking stances that people have taken regarding these two teams.Does it really matter HC? If we get lucky at Savoie or Cooley.........we are still 5 players away from being average compared to Colorado,
There is a huge difference from bottom feeder to almost making the playoffs and an even larger difference to making the Conference final from being a bubble team. Each of the steps take 3-4 players, so in the Flyers case they need 6-8 top end talents to get to the promise land.
And Attard, Brink and Cates are not 3-4 of those players for even the first step.
That we have players that, are good at deflecting pucks into their own net.What have we learned, though? What's the deeper meaning?

I didn't watch either, just saw the low lites on nhl network.Didn't watch, don't care. I'm slowly picking up baseball instead of watching anything to do with this franchise.

They allowed fifty shots in a sixty minute game for the second time this season against the Avs. Carter Hart was the only reason the Avs didn’t score 8+ goals. Stop putting lipstick on a pig. They played awful. If you want to hang your hat on this type of effort, go for it.Actually, I got to credit the Flyers for not giving up after falling behind.
Colorado has won 80% of their home games the past two years, and the Flyers played the night before, then flew into Denver, even a good team would struggle in that situation.
And this group is scraping the bottom of the barrel, from the team that started the season, they're missing, Couts, G, TK, Laughton, Brassard, Ellis and Braun.
Hodgson is looking like a real player, given he has played a total of 85 AHL games, half of those were four years ago, so he's not used to AHL speed, much less NHL speed.
Tippett has some nice wheels, he's got the entire package, question is whether he can put it together. But the raw physical talent is there.
This is a more reasonable way to look at things.They allowed fifty shots in a sixty minute game for the second time this season against the Avs. Carter Hart was the only reason the Avs didn’t score 8+ goals. Stop putting lipstick on a pig. They played awful. If you want to hang your hat on this type of effort, go for it.
Oh no, the Flyers are missing players! The Avs are missing Landeskog and 1/2 of their defensive group.
You're right. The Avs are forced to play players like NAK, who is their version of MacEwen.They allowed fifty shots in a sixty minute game for the second time this season against the Avs. Carter Hart was the only reason the Avs didn’t score 8+ goals. Stop putting lipstick on a pig. They played awful. If you want to hang your hat on this type of effort, go for it.
