Post-Game Talk: Canucks 4 - Flyers 0 || <Insert Redemption Arc Here>

[EpochLink]

Shutout!

 

[jrlp]

There. That's better.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Back to being champions. I still think it was just the flu that got to the whole team.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

The Flyers have to one of the most poorly coached teams I've seen in awhile. No identity, no plan, no pushback. They were like watching the Washington Generals tonight. For a team with so much talent, they seem pretty gutless.

 

[NoShowWilly]

i think it was the switching of the lines.

 

[DCantheDDad]

Whooooooooo! Fantastic result! That was a bit more fun to watch.

I think it was the unicorn tears they all drank before the game.

I don't mean to be "that guy" but this game shouldn't really give fans much confidence. The Flyers are missing their two best D-men on an already crappy D-group and didn't have their starting goalie.

Obviously happy about the win but I don't see this meaning much.

Alex Edler is elite.

Yeah. Never seen him more engaged either. Edler went back at Rinaldo for a facewash. Went after Voracek on his dive too.

Eh I'd probably feel better after winning a game then losing one.

It means two points in the standings . Same as any other win . Exactly the same.

 

[LiquidSnake]

B. Schenn shot right into his glove

That was def a sick save

 

[Nuclear Salo]

What's Miller's save percentage after this game...

In fact, anyone know what it's been during his last 5 starts?

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

I`ll enjoy the victory but won`t take too much away from it...the Flyers are bad...they play so incoherently they could hire Eakins and play better systems

It's .916 on the season now. He's getting back up there with many good showings. Last 5 games he must be around .950 but I don't have the exact number. Pretty good against LA, SJS, DET, FLA, and PHI.

 

[NoShowWilly]

2 more points for defensemen, yay.

This. I don't know how a team with so much talent can be so poor.

Holmgren really gave them some stinker contracts to deal with.

They have one of the worst backend's in the NHL, thats is a recipe for a lot of losses.

 

[NuxFan09]

Happy about the win, Miller's shutout and 2 points each for the Sedins, but other than that I don't really take too much away from the win. This team will more or less beat the teams they should and that's about all that I expect from them.

They've beat some good teams top..,

For further example, see Oilers, Edmonton.

There's probably a lesson to be learned there somewhere...

 

[tantalum]

May not be the best team they beat but it is something to build on. They played well in all three zone. The few breakdowns they had were eliminated by Miller.

How about that Bonino goal? I love to watch skill players really dive in on poor defending. Del Zotto had a terrible game from then on, possibly from a case of "getting dangled". Each touch of the puck from Bonino on that goal was exemplary of his high intelligence and ability to find space in tight. He's a keeper for sure.

I don't think I've ever seen a player as consistently not good as Sbisa. He's not good. How is it possible that he is going to be good in the future? Your guess is as good as mine. Bieksa took a long, long time to round into the form he is today, and he still turns it over an uncomfortable amount of times. If his ceiling is Bieksa-with-no-locker-room-presence then I refuse to believe he's a valuable investment.
