GDT: Game 35: 12/18/2018 - Red Wings @ Flyers - 7:00 PM ET FS-D

[Steve Yzerlland]

It is called cataracts.

Or a bad TV. I'm watching on a magnavox and its cream colored too lol.

 

[Reddwit]

He did make contact with Bernier but Bernier didn't sell it.

Lol yup. Goalie has to flop when a player drags a leg back like that.

 

[theYman]

Maybe Abby could bowl over their rookie golatender. Kill 2 birds with one stone. And Abby is one heck of a stone.

 

[saska sault]

Someone please let me know the next time Abdelkader makes a skilled play.. actually scratch that. A strong power forward like play.. or anything that isn't pure luck .

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

On his contract year to get another 6 year re-up

This guy is playing with the 2 guys on the team who are putting up points nightly and he’s still invisible offensively.

 

[TheMule93]

Nyquist has been awful tonight

 

[TheMule93]

AA much more effective when he didn't spend every shift cheery picking at the opponents blue line

 

[raymond23]

Please get Abby off that line. f***ing awful

 

[SCD]

Hronek needs to stop deferring to Ericsson.

 

[SCD]

AA much more effective when he didn't spend every shift cheery picking at the opponents blue line

and when is that?

 

[Reddwit]

Hronek needs to stop deferring to Ericsson.

Agreed. That’s that confidence factor right there. Hronek is more than capable of managing the breakout there. He’s better than he thinks he is at this level.

 

[TheMule93]

and when is that?

Late October thru mid November

 

[taliababa]

Please get Abby off that line. ****ing awful

Get him off the f***ing team, but that'll never happen. Unfortunately, no one would take such a useless player and his horrendous contract.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

On the Gudas goal 3 Wings over-commit to 1 side of the ice...I've seen this numerous times the last 20 games, in both zones. Typically it's 3 players, I've seen it be 4 players at least once that I recall, but probably more. This stems from trying to be good puck hounds, but somebody has to have the wherewithal to be cognizant enough to notice & look for the open man/men. Both zones!

 

[saska sault]

This guy is playing with the 2 guys on the team who are putting up points nightly and he’s still invisible offensively.

He honestly just looks like he is lazy. He often doesnt skate.. he glides into his checks. Glides when he has the puck on his stick... stands in front of the net. Doesnt have the muscle to usually clear a puck.. its astounding he is in effective at anything regarding physical ability last few years. He is not that old, is a big body.. but he just doesnt have anything going. Dont know if it's a mental block or just his ability has gone down even more making it noticeable to a further extent. I'd prefer to just not talk about him but it hurts my soul to watch him struggle to do anything.

 

[Ezekial]

Bernier plays an uninspiring brand of goalie.

I know that that was really difficult, don't get me wrong, but I feel like it's a loss when he's in net every game.

SHOOT THE PUCK AT HART

 

[SCD]

Have to get those passes through.

 

[Martinez]

Put in Kowalkoski

 

[aar000n]

take the pass or the player, please. Skating in a circle is not as helpful as you may think.

 

[TheMule93]

We have one shot since our goal at the beginning of the period

2 shots all period lol

 

[Reddwit]

Well if Philly can’t scout Howard tonight, at least they can see what happens to Detroit when Bernier is in net.

That was a bad play by Cholo but why were there only 2 guys back when 4 guys should’ve easily been in the play?

 

[Kronwalled55]

Bernier plays an uninspiring brand of goalie.

12 starts
3 or more goals allowed in 9 of them.

 

[Claypool]

The Flyers are going to play well in front of a new head coach and goalie. This had loss written all over it.

 

[raymond23]

Back to uninspiring hockey. It was fun while it lasted
