GBU The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Luuuuu Goalied 'em - Win in Philly 5-2 11/1/23

[Chainshot]

The Good -

UPL looked great.
Biro doing pro style things to get his first... and second.
Peterka to Mitts for GF2. I honestly don't remember them doing anything after that for the rest of the first period or any of the 2nd period.
Power post and in.
UPL bailing out Krebs stupidity and Power's weakness on a 2-on-0.
Jokiharju and Dahlin saving goals.
Thompson's insurance goal.
Erik Johnson. That's it. That's the post.

The Bad -

I don't understand Granato's bench shortening in the 2nd period.
Deflect-o-rama!
Cozens struggling.
Peyton Krebs with the dumb repeatedly.

The Ugly -

TNT's in-game presentation remains painful to experience.
The shot discrepancy from the time Torts called time out to the end of the game is something like 33-10 in the Flyers favor.

JOHNSON DROPPED TO BLOCK A SHOT WITH UNDER 10 SECONDS LEFT in a 5-2 game. Team defense is showing up, and EJ's a huge part of that.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Unacceptable game. You lose those 9/10 times. UPL and the defensemen won this game.

 

[RecycledEichel]

UPL played well, but I think we were fortunate to not give up 4 or 5. think there were at least 3 times a defenseman somehow got in the way of a sure goal.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

The ugliest win in a LONG time.. UPL stole us 2 points.

 

[MOGlLNY]

What a game by UPL. Keep the confidence HIGH kid, we need it.

Him, Dahlin, Sammy, and Joki really had an effective (if ugly) game.

 

[Ehran]

G: UPL

B: Cozens, Krebs, and Power all had "moments" in this game. Sometimes several.

U: Gave up 40 shots to the Flyers.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Good: the win
UPL
As sloppy as they played, they made it a hard night for Philly. Didn't let them have much of anything in terms of rebounds, open lanes to the net, blocking shots, etc.

Bad: about half the team looks like they were on an all night bender before the game.

Ugly: also the win

B: Tons of giveaways

U: Flyers have so many jerks on that team

WE ARE BACK TO .500!
WE HAVE A 2 GAME WINNING STREAK!

Buffalo needs to be much better to sweep this home and home.

G:
- It's a good thing Philly can't finish.
- Power with a sick shot. Best shot I've seen from him. More of that please!
- UPL was great.
- Biro's first goal was great.

B:
- 4 shots on goal in the 2nd. 4 shots on goal in the 3rd.
- Krebs was pretty brutal

U:
- Hart injured?

Unacceptable game. You lose those 9/10 times. UPL and the defensemen won this game.

We used to lose those games. 5-2 on the road is acceptable for me.

Him, Dahlin, Sammy, and Joki really had an effective (if ugly) game.

I didn't notice Bryson at all tonight. I think that's a good thing.

 

[Chainshot]

While he's been high event, I for one will appreciate Clifton's return and Bryson no longer being an 8-minute liability.

 

[old kummelweck]

Sorry Philly. Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.

I don't expect Philly will be able to pull this off in Buffalo with Granato getting the line match advantage.

 

[oldgoalie]

While he's been high event, I for one will appreciate Clifton's return and Bryson no longer being an 8-minute liability.

He’s back for Friday, correct?

 

[BritSabre]

Good
UPL
Jokiharju shot blocking
Winning - god was it ugly but still 2 points
First 10 mins
Biro with 2
I'm 3 - 0 on games watched

Bad
Final 50 minutes
Power Play
Passing, Giveaways, handling the puck. Bouncy puck all night.
A lot of players had poor nights, special mentions for Krebs and Cozens.

 

[Chainshot]

I didn't notice Bryson at all tonight. I think that's a good thing.

Hidden with 11 shifts... only 5 after the first period.

 

[old kummelweck]

The ugliest win in a LONG time.. UPL stole us 2 points.

There were a LOT of guys getting in lanes and blocking shots. They put in an effort.

 

[nickdawg95]

G- Biro potting 2, well deserved
UPL
Joki
Dahlin
Johnson

Bad - 2nd period, literally looked like we were skating in sand.


Ugly - Krebs krebs krebs, get it together gurl

 

[Zman5778]

Hidden with 11 shifts... only 5 after the first period.

Him not playing is very likely why I didn't notice him at all.

 

[oldgoalie]

The awful - 15 shots on goal? (That’s what it was when my feed died.)

 

[start winnin]

UPL was beast mode, you keep sticking with him next Friday even if Levi is ready, maybe he's in the Flyers head. That being said, there was a criticism earlier in the GDT where he makes himself small on shots which is valid, he needs to make himself bigger when he's getting shot on. Jokiharu looks reborn, arguably our second best defenseman the whole year? He's been solid, steady and keeping things simple.

TNT post game crew is praising Cozens when he had a terrible game. TNT broadcast was awful, thought I was watching the Flyers' feed.
