Does anyone know of a way to find out the Flyers record when wearing these atrocious jerseys? I'm sure it is just a coincidence but they seem to play much worse when wearing these sweaters.

I actually thought they played pretty well in this first.

Giroux looks decent, but Konecny seems to be the most consistent catalyst on offense. Good for him.

Lines 3 and 4 need a big revamping but we know that. Useless.

Tons of blocked Flyers shots already.
Theyve played a good period except for that one defensive (frank) job

This game looks like the All-Star game but without the entire lineup of elite players. There's almost zero body contact. It's all stick checks and fly-bys. I guess that's what the league wanted. Also the skill and speed of the league overall nowadays makes it's extremely difficult for a 4th line or energy line to go out there and play physical unless they're skilled enough to actually be up on the play to make a hit.

It's not the 70s or 80s anymore.

Hawks have been an active stick checking team for a couple years now. Really good at tying sticks without taking penalties

I think teams can be physical, but if you are a slower player with limited skills you are done.

Flyers have players in Cousins and Weise on offense that should be making it a little harder to play against. Invisible so far.

that's all it takes.

they've had a good period. no real good looks at the net yet, and one breakdown...which always seem to end up in their net.

Playing well, made one mistake, trailing; story of the season so far

The other issue is players are absolutely petrified to make hits for fear of getting a penalty or a suspension. Players can't take hits anymore and put themselves into prone positions trying either to avoid the hit and thus making themselves more vulnerable to injury or a hit resulting in head-first contact or drawing a penalty - the old turn at the last second and face the boards and flop.

Nice couple shot blocks from MacDonald there. Looks like that first one stung

16 shots. almost all distance, perimeter and unscreened.

given up first goal in 5 of last 7 games.

Shots 16-6 but would say the Hawks have had the more dangerous chances by far.

Not bad overall, thought Manning looks pretty damn good.

my mistake on the goal. that was del zotto swimming...which he's done far too much this season. provorov got tripped up right before that.

Yeah the Hawks, just like the Pens are fantastic at the staggered attack. Their high-end wingers can gain the zone with speed and fan out wide with the center staggered later into the zone and all of the back-checkers scramble back at which point their 3rd tier of stagger is a wide open defenseman for a prime chance.
