Lets see how the team responds to the bloody nose that was last game. What's the teams record following a loss?

I don't think you're gonna fatigue a 21 year old goalie who played 70 games a year in junior hockey!
Especially when Thompson is only on the ice 5x5 for maybe 10 minutes a night.

Nice try, but I'm sure you can do better.

You've obviously never played goalie before. Im not worried about long term fatigue. Im confident Hart can go the distance. But short term fatigue is a very real thing and the effects of age are much less a factor here. Every save you have to make after the initial drains you and makes it that much harder to make the next until you clear the zone and have 20-30 seconds to compose yourself and refocus mentally.

When you are getting hemmed in the zone and are literally playing on your toes for a period of time, the chances of letting a 'fluke' goal in are exponentially higher. It's never about the quantity of shots, its about the quantity and velocity in which they occur. Id have happily played a game in my days where i saw one shot per minute for 60 shots total rather than 4 shots over a minute, nothing for 3 minutes, then 6 shots over 2 minutes. It's nearly impossible to reset, square, adjust angles and put yourself in the best possible situation to make a save in that type of game. Theres been one goalie who never really had an issue with it in my lifetime, and hes probably the greatest goalie of all time (or at least, the "modern" era). I've got a ton of faith in Hart to be a phenomenal goalie, but in no way am i going to expect him to go out and play like Hasek every night.

Not sure, but they haven’t lost two in a row since January.

This. 100% this.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

For the love of f***, come out blazing and don't let up. Win this shit!

January was so long ago, lets hope they remember how to bounce back like they used to

ANYWAYS, good morning guys! Flyers are going to play a good game tonight. I can sense it. I’ve got the faith!

I mean, this is largely the same team that had the 2nd best points % in the NHL since November 1.

Let’s see if they can adjust.

If Oskar joining the team at practice doesnt fire this team up they domt deserve to win.

Montreal doesn't stand a chance tonight

 

[GKJ]

If Oskar joining the team at practice doesnt fire this team up they domt deserve to win.

Back in December and January, just his mere presence in the building was THE single key as to whether they were going to play like ass or not

Normally the extra forward is tasked with warming up goalies in practice. Well... #Flyers Joel Farabee was warming up Carter Hart in teams video of Oskar Lindblom. Also not good that JVR & NAK had both colors on, which may hint PP work & both are in. #FlyersTalk #AnytimeAnywhere

 

[phil162888]

The Flyers need more from almost every player except Hart, Farabee, Myers, Sanheim and Provorov. Literally everyone else has underperformed so far. Today is a huge game to see if we can skate with the Habs. No matter the outcome it can not seem like the ice is tilted in their direction two games in a row. That was as embarrassing a performance as I've seen from this leadership group (we've seen plenty over the past decade). Need to prove it was just a blip and this team and group is truly ready for playoff hockey.

If AVs adjustment is to take Farabee out, we are doomed.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I don’t think he should come out but he should be a part of the lineup changes. Even if it means going to the 3rd line. That isn’t offense to him but they definitely need a different look on the ice.

 

[WIP CALLER]

I don't know about doomed, if the Hakstol era taught me anything, it's that this team is capable of still winning in spite of poor coaching.

[flyershockey]

If Lindblom getting back on the ice doesn't give them a spark, then they need to check themselves for a pulse.

They need to get some confidence going tonight. If I'm AV, I reminding these guys all day that they were the number 1 seed for a reason. They need to come out and match Montreal's pursuit on pucks and take the play to them. Some physicality wouldn't hurt either.
