GDT: #82 | Rangers at FLYERS | Sat., Apr. 7, 2018, 3:00 pm ET | NBC

Provorov is dialed in in this game. All the right plays.

 

[Nizzle]

Reliable and heavy defense from ghost

 

[Hakroach]

His best contribution today was springing NP, but it's probably better for the Flyers to keep him with Flip and Simmer...

No other choice! You can't put together a kid line like Lindblom-Patrick-Konecny. There wouldn't be any veteran presence in a line like that.

 

[TCTC]

I hate Raffl on the top line. Always have, always will.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Hate Raffl on the first line. Give me TK.

 

[orangecrush8]

Both Couts and Provorov fist pumped on the goal hahaha

 

[klutch]

Damn I didn’t know Provorov had so many goals

 

[Jtown]

3rd line again. Dangerous off the faceoff

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Nervy but successful first period.

 

[The Rage Kage]

First line just doesnt get the same sustained pressure with Raffl as they do with Konecny or Voracek.

 

[Deadpool8812]

I like Raffl....but I hate him on the first line

 

[Tripod]

relax. Top line had 3 goals last game.

And they get get goals when TK is there too.

 

[kudymen]

Only 40 minutes left. Please just turtle and make a strong pressure in your own zone for the participation point

 

[JojoTheWhale]

We should go down to the ranch tomorrow where he gives kiddies rides and thank him.

I bought carrots this morning. Stable warming present is covered.

 

[YamCork]

Decent enough first period, I'll take it.

 

[FlyerFan22]

Not a bad period

 

[tictactoe]

So sad about #11 playing on 3rd line..

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I hate Raffl on the top line. Always have, always will.

His being on the first line directly led to the first goal, though.

(I don't like it either)

 

[Danko]

i'll takeit

 

[Jtown]

And they get get goals when TK is there too.

right. but 3rd line does not generate the chances with raffl like they do with konecny. Not all of dave's ideas are bad, especially the ones that work. This one is working.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

True! Nervous — dreadfully, dreadfully nervous I had been and am. But why will you say I’m insane!

I think Tell Tale Heart starts something like that.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Gudas father coached team twachkhara won Romanian championship. Thanks for that one Pierre.

raffl is averaging a ppg since being puton that topline . what is there to hate?

 

[The Rage Kage]

right. but 3rd line does not generate the chances with raffl like they do with konecny. Not all of dave's ideas are bad, especially the ones that work. This one is working.

But its not really, Flip and Simmonds are still trash, despite Konecny (and he cant do it all by himself). Raffl significantly weakens the first line.

I honestly did not know Romania had hockey? Cannot think of a single Romanian NHL player.


Edit: Maybe MSE can let us know.
