Post-Game Talk: Tue., Jan. 7, 2014| Flyers 3 at Devils 2 (OT)

[MadFerIt95*]

I think Mase will get both home games.

If Emery really struggles down the stretch then they can call up Heeter.

Trade for Lundqvist

 

[Funf]

That's why I would throw Vinny on the top line as a LW and say deal with it for now. Let Raffl go down with Couts and Downie and be the defensive line.

Read/Couts/Raffl could be a good line, but Vinny can't play LW.

I'd like to see them try Jake on the left side some time. I think it could work for him.

 

[Patrick Division]

ahahh thats the whole point... its infectious...

Damn you!!! I had to click it again!! Ill never sleep tonight!!

 

[BernieParent]

Emery was okay tonight. His reduced mobility made some chances more dangerous than they should have been. He's completely a positional goalie and he gets exposed by good puck movement. That being said, Emery used good positioning to stop some dangerous plays, too.

For a fanbase who watched the likes of Leighton and Bryzgalov, we are pretty fortunate to be watching Mason - Emery on sweetheart deals.

Couturier needs to be smacked around a bit to get his mojo back. He and Lecavalier mix like water and more water; they really contribute little at either end of the rink right now.

 

[RJ8812*]

Emery is a back-up goalie who has the ability to get hot if he gets consecutive starts

what are people complaining about?

We can't have two Steve Mason's in net

 

[orangecrush8]

Just watched a highlight of the OT goal

How fitting that some guy in the first row is wearing a Grossmann jersey. I didn't even know they existed lol

Yeah....Coots needs Reader back and Vinny is a shell of what he was in the beginning of the season when he was scoring although his two way play is pretty lame.

Vinnie is still recovering from a fractured vertebrae sustained right after coming back from a serious facial injury. He was very good early in the year, and he will be again when he heals and gets his legs back.

Yeah the vinny hate is ridiculous, people are just itching to call out mgmt for a "too old, too much, too long" contract.

Truth be told, he's just not 100% right now


Also, just realized FreshPerspective's name...Do you realize who asked Snider that question? ****ing Mike Sielski! The beat writer who know less about hockey than Timmy ****-nachos
Turns out Berube is a fine coach, but nah, lets judge him before he gets a chance. What a GOON.

 

[Miss Mess]

Philly is also now 5th overall in the Conference!!

Don't think that is the right phrase.

And I'm banking that if any player will benefit from the Olympic break, it will be Vinny.

Bummed I missed the game tonight, car died on the way home from work. It's now taken care of, and we won. Good evening overall.

 

[AaronTrieu]

At this rate the flyers might break 100pts. Not counting our chickens, but it's fun to project. I think 92pts might get us a playoff spot so we only need to get 56% of our remaining possible points. Not too impossible. 66% gets the flyers to 100 pts.

It's really in honor of this guy......





But seriously has more to do with upper management than Berube...

 

[Winston Wolf]

From the AP game recap:

Grossmann had two assists, giving him his second multipoint performance in 427 career NHL games.

That's pretty impressive. You'd think any player who regularly plays ~20 minutes a game for 427 games would have more multiple point games just from dumb luck!

 

[Dirty but Good]

The bad:
The awkward pairing of Lecavalier and Couturier on the 3rd line struggles again

Going off of the awkwardness:

The second PP unit. It looks like a middle school dance out there.
Everyone is afraid to do anything and in the end they just awkwardly switch positions.

 

[Harold Bingo]

That tying goal was a buzz kill, but I'm glad they won it in OT. Grossmann? What? Great vision.

I want Jagr back. He's playing good and he's hilarious.

Also, Downie's got to be injured, right? He just doesn't seem like the same player. I usually don't go to the old "oh, so and so's not playing well, he must be injured", but something does seem off with him.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

good win after being down 1-0 and playing so lousy.

Emery looked very sluggish but made a couple okay shoulder saves.. I am going to the game on Saturday which is the beginning of a back to back.. I dread seeing Emery play against the Lightning.. they would destroy him.

they could catch a break on Saturday. Bishop is hurt. got hurt on Sunday. not sure of the severity. They are going with Lindback. Cedrick Desjardins backs him up.
good win tonight. i was actually worried a bit about tonight. end of a road trip sometimes can have a bit of a letdown. keep finding ways to win.

Worst case scenario, Downie has moved into Fedoruk territory and won't be re-signed (i.e., a series of serious facial injuries leave him unable to adequately play the hockey anymore)

I was aiming for the blandness and lack of ... ehhh, it's not funny if you have to explain it.

Yea we have been escaping the grasp of a lot of good players from injury last few months.

Vinny will be back. He has a fractured vertebrae. That's not a minor injury, physically or mentally.

 

[flyershockey]

It's good to see this team getting back that "never say die" attitude that was so huge in 2011-2012. There were a couple of times last night where it just looked like it wasn't going to be their night, but they stayed with it and got a huge two points, completing the trip with 10 out of a possible 12 points. I'll take that every day of the week.

let it begin....

i cant figure out how to post a direct link to save my life...

I just finished watching the video, it is the same thing over and over I was expecting something to change at some point, at least i can plat the Sax now

 

[Sombastate]

Giroux didn't have the monster game that I was expecting, but it was a good win nonetheless.

This team looks like it can compete with the best teams

But upper management picked berube :shrug

My point is that Snider was right; we've been to the SCF a lot, and we make the playoffs regularly.

I'd rather win the cup the right way, by competing each year, than the Edmonton/****tsburgh route.

And while management & homeraren't flawless, they are far superior to the NYR/Toronto offices at making big moves.

I don't get the hate for trying to win every year... I hate the rumor spreading tweeters

Another Attaboy for Harts ! All the Hartnell hate on here is a JOKE ! The guys got GRIT !
