Post-Game Talk: #69: Bruins at FLYERS, Tuesday, Mar. 10, 2020, 7:00 p.m. ET

Tampa is our kryptonite, a win Thursday will be massive for my confidence

They can play with anyone. Away vs TB is by and large their toughest test in the last 12 games. Would be a sweet one

 

[AdamParrot]

I meant 5 on 5. That was the once nice chance In last 2 mins with goalie pulled.

I think we had 1 shot

Yes, 6-on-5 was bad. But that's Therrien fault. There is no reason to put Niskanen there instead Ghost/Sanheim. I would prefer both instead to Provorov too, but...

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Of course Rags Pens Canes and Leafs win.
Isles may as well win too

Outside of Pittsburgh we’d still have an 8+ point lead on all those other teams.

Pittsburgh is really the only team of that group that is relevant to us right now.

 

[Person101]

once we trailed I recall one good chance by Provy.

You missed the G pinball to I think it was Voracek that hit the post.

 

[Rodu58]

There are two types of players in this game, those who dream of scoring the big goal, and those who dream of getting the secondary assist on the big goal

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

We just forgetting they just came back against the Capitals?

 

[Hockeypete49]

Still need more evidence he is worse than Hägg?

Watch the games then. Ghost has lost his mojo while Hagg has been solid. I know it's hard for some to give Hagg his props. I hope that Ghost gets it back cause we will need him for at least the next month.

 

[Jtown]

Me neither lol.
That’s the last thing to take from tonight imo.

They completely shut us down in second half of game.

games like this show the lack of skill that we have in the bottom 6. I love our bottom six, but they are what they are.

 

[Person101]

Especially today, he was feeling it. They'll never keep Provy off, so I would've liked Provy - Ghost.

If our lineup in playoffs will be this:

Grinder line
Beezy-Hayes-TK
JVR-Laughton-Pitlick
Raffl-Grant-NAK

Provy-Nisky
Sanheim-Myers
Ghost-Braun

Hart

We can beat every team in 7 series.

Couts also hit the post.

Boston played a great third period, but they also provided their 3rd period lead template for the Flyers to watch on video should these two teams meet in the playoffs.

 

[Jtown]

We're more talented up top than that rangers team was by far.
Our one weakness is our inexperience in goal and on the backend but our upside in those regards is higher than any of our playoff peers.
Bergeron is like the Sinestro to Giroux's Green Lantern.

Bergeron-Chara-Marchand core doesnt get enough credit.
Obviously theyre behind the dynasty Blackhawks and Malkin/Crosby but after those 2 cores theyre the best in this era imo. Still going strong.

I agree 100 percent. Those guys are beasts. Chara still to this day is the most difficult dman to play against in the dzone.

Your TV in color?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

"Play like that every night an-"

No. No moral victories in March during a dogfight for 1st place.

Dig at me?

They lost to the best team in the NHL after completely dominating through 40 minutes. Losses happen; you learn and move on because you can't win them all.

If they play like that every night in a 7 game series against Boston, I like their chances.

It's not like they blew their chance at first by losing to Detroit. Rask was the story through 40. Boston's team defense in the third was exceptional, but now the Flyers have first hand information on how they protect a third period lead.

Move along with that effort against Tampa and you'll see no complaints from me.

 

[Jtown]

Ghost was best Flyer by a mile.

He needs to play with that much urgency all the time.

 

[Rebels57]

Flyers dominated the first 2 periods and easily could have been up a few goals if not for Rask and their lack of finish.

The late goal in in the 2nd deflated them in the 3rd and just when they were starting to press again, Hart let in that inexcusable stinker.

Bottom line, Rask outplayed Hart but the Flyers did prove that they are as good as Boston right now. Not next year. Right now.

 

[Tripod]

Just and FYI....to those who have cited Grants poor fancy stats, he was a top forward today in most categories.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Verdict: The Flyers are damn good.

Start the Bachelor already. It’s good so far

Yeah, this was a game between two really good teams, not a top team and a pretender.

If Rask is anything but flawless we probably win this one.

Never doubt my boy.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Never doubt my boy.

Broly is a bitch.

 

[AdamParrot]

Guys, Sanheim deflected that Bergeron's shoot, right?
