Pre-Game Talk: Flyers @ Sens 10/10 7:30

[L'Aveuglette]

Yeah, wish he was healthy, would really round things out though it would probably mean less opportunities for some guys.

With a healthy lineup:

Tkachuk-Duchene-White/Ryan
Dzingel-Pageau-Stone
Formenton-Tierney-Boedker
Paajarvi-Smith-Pyatt

The only player that would lose opportunities with Pageau around is Zack Smith.

 

[Engineer]

ok

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I let it go.

I don't think he knows about my decades-long crusade against the worst stat in pro sports.

I don't know man, how could you possibly refute Tom Pressing's +40 that one year?

 

[Multigrain]

I don't think its all defense.

 

[coladin]

Great atmosphere even if there were about 10k there.

Duchene and Stone are not contributing and better start doing something. Smith terrible as well, what else is new. Ceci and Boro were better tonight.

Defence had their moments and will gel as the season goes. Refs were a factor in the game, sadly.

It was another entertaining game, which makes going to the games a positive experience. Last year was the worst hockey in has seen in 20 plus years. At least this year there is hope.

 

[Engineer]

ok

 

[The don godfather]

My boy Tierney with 3 points. What a steal.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

My boy Tierney with 3 points. What a steal.

Highway robbery. What did we even give them again?

 

[Six Assets]

My boy Tierney with 3 points. What a steal.

only gave up karlsson

 

[coladin]

Hope of what?

A high 2nd round pick?

No. Hope of new stars that will make their mark and get this team going in the right direction.

 

[Icelevel]

only gave up karlsson

If it was just Karlsson then yeah a steal. But we had to include Perron unfortunately

 

[Engineer]

ok

 

[coladin]

You know what would really help in the search of new stars while we are tanking due to finances....

Ok I’ll stop.

Good

 

[Clayonator]

I believe Formenton is injured and may not play Saturday. “Upper body”. Something to watch for. Hope the kid ain’t concussed for crying out loud.

I bet we roll 7 D against LA with Harpur drawing in.

 

[Beville]

My boy Tierney with 3 points. What a steal.

More points in 1 game than EK in 4 haha.

Has anyone got footage of the “scraps”?

 

[Korpse]

this is going to have to change before goaltending ever is at an acceptable level to some.

 

[Micklebot]

Pageau would help out for forward group, but they aren't the problem. They can still score.

This team is going nowhere with a sophomore Chabot and a Cody Ceci as their best two defensemen. Unless Craig Anderson goes into God mode, but ti doesn't look like he has that gear anymore

The D needs the forwards to help out defensively and pageau would do that. The D is what it is, we are banking on development on that front.

 

[Micklebot]

The only player that would lose opportunities with Pageau around is Zack Smith.

You new to This team? You know full well Smith would slide over to the wing and Formento or White would be sent down.

 

[Blotto71]

I fear this and the Boston game demonstrate very well what can be expected this year. A few bright spots sprinkles on top of a whuppin'. Nice to see Lajoie continue his strong start - nice surprise.

 

[scallionjj11]

Tkachuk played really well last night, we should probably send him down to gain more muscle.

 

[badi]

Why is Colin White playing 9 minutes a night when you re supposed to be in a rebuilding year .....?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I don't think its all defense.

well you can tell they have zero confidence in Andy... like wideman didn't even want to give that guy a breakaway

 

[NyQuil]

Stone was uncharacteristically poor yesterday.

At least Duchene was unsuccessfully trying to do stuff.

Ryan remains the invisible man for the most part.

Lajoie, Tkachuk, Boedker, Tierney and Formenton seemed like the standouts.

I didn’t think Andy was all that bad despite the score.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

this is going to have to change before goaltending ever is at an acceptable level to some.

man the fact of the matter is this... the team isn't very good. our goalie needs to play really, really, really well. both our goalies have been terrible. were not fixing defensive issues his year. this isn't a year for "well the goalie will play better when he team in front of him starts defending well.. this is the year for an Anderson Vezina worthy performance. fair or not

Regarding Andy, and that's the pattern it seems. He will make unbelievable save on shot that are great chance, ust to let a stinker.
