I can't remember the last time there were 0 penalties in a game......wait it was 3 games ago. Before that 2 years ago. Not that I mind. But just odd.
Tough night for Pickard. He isn't doing much with his shot. A really nice win for the club after dropping two with Freddy in the net. Hopefully the big night gives Johnsson some confidence when playing against better goalies.
Posted a shutout the night before but Cherry was right on Coaches corner that he shouldnt have been played back to back against the Leafs. Bad coaching to throw him in there and the other guy was fresh and played really well.
Self centered much? No one cares about your opinions on music or your viewing habits. Get over yourself grandpa.
Academics have been talking about this for years.

Hockey participation rates are also dropping.
Anywhoo... we got 2 points. I found the game boring.
If anyone is personally offended by me flipping the channel to watch NCAA Football and Fail Army... or thinking that Drake is the Justin Beiber of Hip Hop... you need to rethink your life.
I’m offended that you watched NCAA football, considering their stance on women’s rights. See Baylor, Ohio State, Alabama and Miss State as recent examples.
Dermott leading the team in ice time. With Oz right behind him. Nice to see the young defenders log big minutes, and although the game was won in the first they continued to hold their own.
Outside of the HDO box? Can you explain? Pardon my house league hockey knowledge
Great read on Kap
I have to say that after the little recognition of JVR in the 1st period, I barely noticed him all game. No power plays for Philly so he never got to do what he does best.
Same goes for Claude Giroux. What was going on there? He's usually really noticeable.
4 goals on 7 shots. I thought he was still playing for the Leafs. Sure did nothing for the Flyers.Tough night for Pickard. He isn't doing much with his shot.

He said it best (there is no video so I’m quoting him):
“This isn’t hockey. They’re not playing hockey. They’re playing with NO INTEREST or HEART. You can tell they don’t want to play for their team. Something will happen in Philly”
I’m not trying to degrade or diminish the pounding TOR gave PHI. Pickard averages 4+ GAA and just about .800 SV%. Philly is averaging 3 goals against for every 20 shots. The players aren’t playing hockey. They don’t want to play for their system so they’re an easy team to beat because they’re not playing. Please refer back to my heat map (at the bottom I show the flyers).
Dave Hakstol loves safe hockey. Point shots are very safe because, generally speaking, the lanes are much wider. He loves his wiley vets in Amac, Lehtera, Weise (promotes to to 6), Hagg (not a vet, but promoted to play most TOI over past 3 games with the worst shot suppression metrics in the entire league), and doesn’t know how to run a lineup. It also doesn’t help that 3 of our 6 NHL goaltender are injured, but this falls on Hextall and Hakstol. It’s just kind of sad that this is flyers hockey.
Flyers might not have a perfect team, but it's pretty easy to see that they are dragged down by coaching. they don't have structure or motivation to compete, and that's on the coaching staff. I couldn't believe he started Pickard, since even I know that a rested goalie is a smarter option in a back to back situation. That probably cost the Flyers the game right there, as he let the Leafs put the game out of reach right away. Hakstol will probably get fired soonJohn Boruk, one of Phillys top insiders for the Flyers, Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies was on NBCSP last night for the game.

Isn’t that weird. I don’t have an answer for that. The rangers didn’t show up besides King Henrik. 2 out of the 4 goals were fluky so the domaintion word may be overzealous.They dominated the Rangers the night before and not just on the scoreboard.
What was the difference?
I've watched it a few times (because I have the same thought as you) and it almost seems like Marner is aware of Gudas.Anybody think that on the Tavares goal, Marner put himself in a very vulnerable position to be crushed by Gudas. It looked like Gudas did the right thing and let up a bit or he could have sent him into orbit.
Great couple periods but the 3rd was a snooze fest.
I always stay to the end unless it's a blowout. Last night may have been the earliest I've ever left.
