GDT: This Is Not A Drill, I Repeat This Is Not A Drill !! - Let's Get Off To A Flying Start @ 17.30EST

[Flying Dego]

Yeah at worst this game should be 3-3 right now. The 3rd, 4th and 6th goals are absolutely goals Jarry should have had. He's doing absolutely nothing to bail out the team despite the Penguins not giving the Flyers a ton of chances.

I don't know what game your watching but the Flyers are out playing us quite handily...

Jarry shoulda had a few back and he's had a bad game but let's not act like this team is playing well.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Terrible defense. What does the coaching staff even teach these guys during practice? Never seen a team with such poor coverage.

 

[canadianguy77]

Ceci might actually be a downgrade on JJ.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I ain’t even mad. I think I finally matured guys.

Or maybe it’s the 3 Cups.

Haha or we finally feel bad for the old players, Crosby, Malkin, Letang, for what they had to go through for the past 15 years.

ya know what, as bad as the Pens have looked the last few years, they at least have the hardware.

probably why i'm a lot more frustrated with the Steelers.

 

[KIRK]

no support whatsoever, every guy for himself...I would fire Sully right now, not bea=cause of this game, but he lost ability to convey the hard work message to this team long time ago, unless something goes 180, it will be more of the same we saw last season....sort of Ok but not good....

Prediction: Sullivan will be fired, but it will come too late, and JR will be a seller at the deadline. Letang more likely than not gone, and I suspect Malkin's name to come up if he's legit open to a move (which I doubt).

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

L1 is just out of synch
L2 looks like they have never seen each other

Man passes are so bad.
Breakouts are worse.
We cycle the puck like a grenade.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Also, not to pile on, but Jarry hasn't looked good in his first game as "Undisputed Starter".

[SEALBound]

Who hasn't been yelled at yet?

Checks list...

God damn Bleuger!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Jarry's last couple have not been great, but he was the reason the game wasn't like 5-1 or 5-2 early on. We've been getting worked all night long.

Defensive play from forwards and defense has been shit. Offensive play from our top-6 has been shit. The blueline hasn't done nearly enough in terms of transition or offensive pressure.

Looks like a team going through the motions all night long. They didn't even wait to go down by several goals before they quit. If this keeps up, Sully's not even finishing the shortened season.

 

[Lukin1978]

Murray you suck bring back MAF oh wait.

 

[Gurglesons]

We've been to 3 ECFs and won 2 cups since 2012. The Flyers have won a playoff series.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Hot take: Malkin looks old tonight.

Yeah for real. Dude looks past it in this one.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Nah it is what it is. Annoying, but it’s whatever. Jarry needs to make a difficult save and we’re in this game. He was very off today...very off.

 

[domaug]

Ceci might actually be a downgrade on JJ.

i'm not ready to say that yet considering Jack Johnson is a generationally bad player.

Ceci just seems like your run of the mill 7th defenseman so far, with above average number of mistakes.

 

[Darren McCord]

Z-G-R was by far our best line against Montreal. Not even close.

Geno looks nothing like himself, and Rust looks like the 4th liner that first broke into the league during our first of back to back Cups.

Is that saying much? That series no one was good. And again I am asking if they had a point together.

Malkin had 0 5v5 pts.
Zucker had 1
Rust had 1

That is not top line numbers. in 5 games they have 2 even strength pts. And again I am not even sure if those two pts were when they were on the ice together .

 

[Andy99]

He looks slow AF.

they kept talking about how he beefed up and all I was thinking was “that not going to help his speed”

 

[Bingo71]

55-1 baby!!!

 

[KIRK]

Hot take: Malkin looks old tonight.

I liked this, but I think the better word is discombobulated. When he's reacting, he looks old. When he's anticipating, he doesn't. This line has zero chemistry, so he's reacting.

 

[canadianguy77]

They don’t know where to go or what to do with broken plays in the offensive zone either.

 

[OnMyOwn]

ERod is very bad up top. Kap needs to get in ASAP.

This is a joke right? I can't even recall any early Flyer chances.

Jarry played awful but so did everyone else.

 

[Shady Machine]

Sheary, Simon, warm body better than Rodrigues

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

BTW... everyone is playing us with 2 - 1 -2 forcheck. Same thing Montreal did... we are always in wrong place to accept passes, etc.
