Post-Game Talk: #71: FLYERS 6 at Maple Leafs 7, Friday, Mar. 15, 2019, 7:00 p.m. ET

Yup, that's the key. Their skill guys can fly, which is just a deadly combo. The Flyers' skill guys are slow, relatively speaking (as is the rest of their team in comparison to the league).

Man, Ghost had as good of a chance as you could hope for with a tick left on the clock.

ghost almost put that in, anderson made a good save.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Ghost had the tie on his stick. Half the net was open.

Too bad. That probably does is for the playoffs. Columbus winning may have been a better scenario with the loss, given they play the Canes twice more down the stretch.

 

[FlyerNutter]

A year away from being three years away.

That’s another season of pissing away Giroux’s career.

Frustrating, but this franchise did it to themselves this year. Continuously made stupid decisions to send out incompetent staff/players.

 

[NicolasAubeKubel]

JVR has 3 goals against his former team and we still lost.

We really need a veteran defenseman to lead the kids on D. They're not good enough on their own.

the forward group is slow as f*** and can't challenge defenseman 1 on 1 at all. They just skated us all night. The caps did the same thing the night before. It's a slow forward group

jvr as much as i hate him, is probably the best in the league in a single category. He is dynamite in front of the net.

 

[Tripod]

JVR was +5

We out hit Toronto.....

 

[dragonoffrost]

JvR with 24 goals? Still can get to 30 even though he's missed a lot of games. Guess that he's going to get what was expected.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

The boys pushed hard for a playoff spot but it just wasn’t to be.

 

[Danko]

They made stupid passes and turnovers, they kept trying to go cross ice and it kept getting picked off. The one puck went off Hogg’s glove and yet it’s all Elliot’s fault?

 

[Domino666]

The upside side of not making the playoffs is hopefully the organization goes out and gets the players/coaches that the team needs, the amount of talent and youth on this team can spell success with the right pieces, being even more positive if they do get a legit coach and they have a good system down, fix the slow start of the season amd games, this team always comes alive in the second half, like I said with the right pieces they could be dangerous

 

[Jtown]

The way Matthews, marner, Nylander, had our dmen bending just makes you wish we had just 1 guy capable of that.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Gave up 12 goals in 2 game... and people blame 1 guy on D>..
think about it.

It's always been a board of whipping boys and favorites.

He’ll be remembered like Marcel Dionne is and that’s a shame.

I think it's the entire team. They're all slow. That's the team Hextall built. Slow and boring two way players.

 

[trigzter]

elliots is absolutely on the hook for the loss up 5 to 2 its not like the D gave up breakaways

 

[bennysflyers16]

Farmer, Haag , Gudas , pack your f***ing shit

Replace with Morin and a real Vet D man

It’s been mentioned before, but I do think a part of that is the way they play. No, they don’t have a lot of guys who are burners - but I don’t buy they are as slow as they looked the last two.

They do have trouble with speedy clubs, but most teams do. That’s the modern NHL, need to embrace that style of play.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

The way Matthews, marner, Nylander, had our dmen bending just makes you wish we had just 1 guy capable of that.

This times 1 million. Why I clamored from the start of the season they needed to add a dynamic forward and why early on I said I'd be willing to trade Ghost for Nylander.

 

[kudymen]

Exciting game? Yes. Promising? Not really. Not many bright spots. Our D is still young and has to keep learning a lot for years, but some trash utilization and mistakes by practically every one of them (some had more, some had less) did us really no favor today

The thing that sucks about this game was the hope... A promise, only to be broken by soft goals, bad plays and turtling. Not like its the first time I have seen it in 289 games

 

[tictactoe]

It's always been a board of whipping boys and favorites.

I guess it's normal in a way...

 

[flyershockey]

The Flyers were thoroughly outplayed despite the three goal lead. The Leafs could've hung a 10 spot tonight.

I feel bad for Giroux and Voracek. They've been dicked around by bad management for the better part of their primes.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Whatever, we didn't deserve it.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I guess it's normal in a way...

Every message board is the same way.

They got beat almost constantly.
