Post-Game Talk: Mon. Oct 24th 2016 | Flyers 1 @ Canadiens 3

[Captain Dave Poulin]

There was just nothing in that at all. His arms were extended all the way and he gave him a slight push - big deal.

 

[Lindberg]

I thought the Flyers played extremely well yesterday besides McDonald and Streit. Until the flyers just get completely blown away I won't be angry or upset when they lose.

Yeah, I really don't see much need for major lineup changes.
On D we just have to hope that MDZ will be back soon. Our defense should look much better when he's back.

 

[tymed]

That "hit" is ****in embarrassing. All their dives are.

I hope so. I don't know what people will do if the team keeps losing with MDZ & Gudas back and possibly VdV out of the lineup when Raffl & Weise return.

They deserved at least 1 point out of that game. The awful call on Couts and the 2 or 3 phantom "offsides" calls when the Flyers had numbers cost them the game. Between the DoPS and the game-day officials, you have to wonder if there will ever be a time where this team gets a fair shake over any substantial stretch of time.

 

[Hiesenberg]

oh my god, that acting job on that hit was hilarious.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Man, Streit had almost six more ES minutes than Schultz.

Hak didn't reduce his ice time at all.

I really don't know what he is supposed to do with the 6 defenseman he had to work with for the first 6 games. You could nitpick on minutes I guess but that is a below average defensive group that was iced for the first 6 games. I am talking the whole group in general. not saying they are all terrible.
Gudas getting back will help but there is still going to be issues with defenseman getting more minutes and tougher minutes then they should be getting.
Cant wait for MDZ to get back. dude is a minutes eater and is solid in all 3 zones.

MacDonald literally looked like a turnstile last night.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

MacDonald literally looked like a turnstile last night.

and he was a pylon in front of his own goalie.

 

[Striiker]

Poor Ghost... playing with 2015-2016 Manning and also MacDonald...

It'll be great if he can have a real partner one day.

Morin or Myers. It's lit

People really need to understand what the word literally means.

People do understand what it means. It's called EXAGERRATING.

 

[Striiker]

Morin yeah, but I seriously doubt Myers. It would be a waste to have two RD together.

 

[deadhead]

Don't want Giroux and Konecny on the same line, it's redundant.
The lines are fine, Schenn will get going at some point, two big guys protect Giroux and allow him to float and make plays.
Great chemistry on the second line, why mess with it.
Trick is going to find a 3rd line that works.

 

[Random Forest]

No, that's not exaggeration or hyperbole; it's simply using the wrong word. MacDonald did not "literally" look like a turnstyle. In fact, the antithesis of "literally" is appropriate. MacDonald figuratively looked like a turnstyle.

Yes, but it's used ironically.

It's actually used correctly and even says so in the dictionary now...

Language evolves. Quit crying over one word someone used and focus on the actual thread.

Every dictionary that includes such a definition also includes a caveat that it is informal and/or improper.

And I'm pretty sure your post resembles "crying" more than anything anyone else has said on this topic.

Well, good thing for us this is an informal hockey forum on the Inter-webs and not a thesis paper

 

[GapToothedWonder]

So, is it just me or is Giroux just going steady. I'm not saying he's bad, just that I'm not excited to see him play anymore. I can't remember if last season he had too many breakouts. Like, before he was captain, all you could hear was Giroux this or Giroux that. Now I don't really care about the first line coming out

I'm just fine with Giroux being as boring as he wants if he continues to be over a point per game.

 

[1865]

I'm not too distraught with this game. We outplayed them for the majority and if not for a mixture of Carey Price and the CARS in place (Canadien Assisting Refereeing System) then we'd probably have won. Just imagine, offsides given both ways, powerplays for us too(!), it could have been close.

 

[Striiker]

What's happening to Giroux is really best case scenario for us. Obviously as he gets older he's going to score less, like every aging player does, but the fact that he's still able to be over PPG and such an important part of our team, despite being less flashy and quick, means he should be able to remain an important part of the team as he ages. Younger flashier players will pick up his scoring slack as the years pass (Konecny and Ghost) and hopefully the team adding more depth will make Girouxs eventual decline a minor issue.
