Pre-Game Talk: Flyers @ Jets - Feb 12 7PM

[Guerzy]

Zachy Goj just flows so well.

Zachy Goj...

Just say it... Zachy.. Goj..

Zachy ... Goj...


It's legendary. All because of you. A true Bro in your own right. Safe to say there would be no Bro-ing here without you, Lynk. Also no Zachy Goj.

Glad to be apart of it, bro.

No Broing back now.

Disagree with previous comments about sitting Wellwood.
He's the one who stole the puck and gave Poni the chance to tip in the winner. The Jets don't need to dress 7 D. 2 guys will be in the press box and we'll have the same 12 forwards.

You forgot to change your location. Not quite 100% Bro yet.

Mhmm...
Wellwood, like all players, has his weaknesses and moments that make you
but in the end, so far he's much more of a plus being on the roster than minus as he is really good at 3 things that make him a defensive treat even though he's not good at "defense" in the traditional sense:
1)being at the right place at the right time
2)stealing passes
3)winning board battles a lot relative to his size/strength dictates

When he's on the ice the Jets:
1) have less shots against than any other forward (Wright is a close 2nd)
2) have best possession in outchancing opponents than any other forward (Burmistrov in close 2nd)
3) have the best +/- differential relative to ice-time than any other forward (Burmistrov in close 2nd)

 

[scelaton]

I can understand either option.

I personally believe in going with the best goalie over the hot one. Noel got bit by playing Mason back to back last year so I would fully understand going with Pavelec.

I am really not sure how much better Pavi is though. If Noel sees them as close I would also understand rolling with the hot hand. Both goalies have career .906 save percentages afterall.

Ultimately it is about winning games. I say go with the gyt that gives you the best chance to win. I don't know who that is, start whoever.

The bolded is interesting. If you look at Montoya's record for the~ 40 NHL games he played in 2010-12, prior to the concussion, his SvP was >.915. (For corroboration on the concussion effect, look at Reimer in TO, pre and post concussion, and now this year)
I know we have a lot invested in Pavs, but he has not proven to me that he is better than Montoya.
We'll never know unless we give them both substantial opportunity.

A smart stats guy from TO (@steveburtch) has an interesting piece coming out about Reimer comparing him to pretty much every goalie prospect from the last 15 years.

I quizzed him on it and he hinted that Reimer and Dubnyk are projecting better than Pav based on historical comparisons. Not sure where Montoya would have ranked or if he made the list. I am curious to see what the final post contains. I will post it for discussion when he publishes it.

 

[Jet]

He's a true Bro.

Avatar credit goes to our very own YWGinYYZ!

Something else may soon happen. I won't say what.

LASERS!!!!!! Please say it's lasers!

 

[Jet]

Boom.

I just had a brorgasm!

 

[bigplay41*]

just found out my dad is taking me to the game tomorrow! **** yeah!

 

[Lynk]

Zach tomorrow before game time:

 

[Potrzebie]

actually that is the new permanent Goj look after they botched his left wrist surgery and his arm locked up.......I know it looks bad but the upside is that it is custom made for square dancing and it does make it easier for Zachy G to lean on short people's heads on the subway.

I'll bet Toby is glad he's not Zachy's D partner.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Zach tomorrow before game time:

I'm actually impressed with how many relevant Mighty Ducks gifs there are.

Tell me about it.

It's almost as if they knew.

Nice avy yourself!

Zach tomorrow before game time:

Incredibly fitting.

@BroadStBull
Sounds like Couturier (flu) will be sent home and will not go to Winnipeg for Tues. game. #Flyers


The Great Malkin Buster will not be coming to play against the Jets...

You know... the one that when on the ice Malkin has only 22.40 scoring chances per 20 minutes rather than the huge 22.04 scoring chances per 20 minutes he normally has...

What's that? That's not improvement? So, Couturier wasn't shutting down Malkin??? oh...

 

[sipowicz]

Damn Leaf's haven't been easy on the Flyers, there currently pounding them 5-1. Flyers will in a surly mood tomorrow.

Yeah, where did that whole "Couturier shut down Malkin" thing come from? Even looking at a score sheet, Malkin got more than his fair share of points.

 

[Gump Hasek]

No Hartnell, no Couturier, coming off a good old fashioned hammering, these Flyers will be ripe for the picking tomorrow if the Jets bring their A game tomorrow night.

That lineup screams meh, aside from Giroux.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Hell yeah!

I'm visiting my parents in Calgary for Easter and we're going to see the Flames vs. Blue Jackets.. be jealous.

 

[EpicGingy]

If the Flyers play like they did tonight tomorrow, I think we have those 2 points to go

I like Simmonds, but yeah... tha looks rough.

I wanted the Jets to go after Gervais as a 5/6 PK option. It looks like they are giving him heavy minutes.

I hope Luke Schenn is in full on pylon mode tomorrow.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

IMO, smart money would be on Boucher starting tomorrow.
