Carter Hart massively shitting the bed here.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Lmao

 

[danpantz]

Well that escalated Quickly

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Bruins just took this game over. Did the Flyers even bring a backup goalie?

 

[DRAGO 18]

Is Alain Vigneault just going to leave Carter Hart in a kayak in Lake Tahoe to die? Yikes

Letting him die on his shield tonight apparently.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Bergy with a shorthanded backcheck like that on Hayes when his team is up 5-2 is why he's already the best captain in the NHL.

 

[hockeyfanOU812]

Very unimpressed with Hart's play this game.

 

[McGarnagle]

Vigneault is still deciding on whether he should pull Luongo from game 4 of the SCF from ten years ago. He'll get to Hart eventually.

 

[snipes]

The mountains and the sunset in the background look like a video game environment.

It’s absolutely jaw dropping.

They should do more games out there going forward.

Lake Louise would be gorgeous for a game as well.

 

[MattySnipes]

Man I switched the channel for 5 min i come back and Bruins scored like 15 goals. Wtf Flyers.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

What a stunning view.

The NHL needs to play games here every year.

That'd be great.

It's ideal this year, since the home team doesn't have to worry about losing revenue since there are no fans anyway. But will there be a team willing to do that when fans are back in arenas? Even makeshift stands with limited, high price seating wouldn't make a dent in the revenue from a normal home game.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Hart's having a shit game and holy hell, the Flyers are just so impotent with this covid lineup.

 

[SnowStorm]

When did Rutledge Wood, the guy from American Top Gear, start doing NHL games?

Ok, I actually liked him in Top Gear but this is beyond cringy.

 

[elMatador]

Boucher in net?

Patrick Kane approves

 

[cliffclaven]

I think tirico calls a good game.

 

[LostInMosEisley]

Too bad the game is a stinker, but the views are incredible. They should have planned for golden hour starts for both games.

 

[BlueMed]

LOL Boston still thinks they're good

 

[Paul4587]

Flyers are legit terrible this season, I’ve no idea how they have the record they do because every time I watch them they’re hemmed in their own end.

 

[KCbus]

My biggest takeaway from this weekend is that I want to have a skating rink in my backyard someday.

That's definitely going to be a factor unfortunately. Honestly hate the stadium games though. The views are bad. This has been a much better way to showcase the game in an outdoor setting. It's too bad the rescheduling will result in fewer views for these games. It's a question of how much value all these spectacular visuals are worth for growing and promoting the game.

 

[danpantz]

You're watching this game and your instinct is to come in here to laugh at Boston? It makes no sense to me how much space this Bruins team occupies in your head when you're team was the one that beat them lol.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Nice to see the standard of officiating completely change in the third.

Though this game with half the forwards out isn't a real good example, they still have basically their full defense and starting goalie...and even when they're healthy, it's not that much better. They do not move the puck up ice well at all. Hart is a pretty horrible puckhandler, but the defense is stacked with good puckmovers: Gostisbehere, Gustaffson, Sanheim, Provorov, and Myers are all decent-to-excellent skaters with good-to-excellent skill. The scheme just seems to not take advantage of that at all, and they have no goddamn idea how to get it consistently through the neutral zone. They end up with very little sustained pressure of their own that way.

It's odd, because their actual offense is pretty good on the rush or in the rare event it's set up in zone. But the trio of Vigneault, Therrien, and Yeo seem to have no goddamn idea how to get there.
