actually it was a good game and we played pretty well
one disallowed goal and one post in OT stopped us from 2 pts

Sounds like typical Flyers this season. Ugh.

Lavi's suit tho.

I missed the game but I assume it was usual meh brand of Flyers hockey?

We're really the New York Mets of the NHL.

I have to admit, Brian Elliott has been really good for us. I can't imagine where we'd be right now if this team was subjected to Mason's constant up and down play again this year.

Um, I don't know....missing the playoffs? All kidding aside, Elliott has been solid. It's a shame he has to be saddled with some of these losses. A little more skill up front would go a long way. There's better days ahead for us...just not this year

It's almost like Ghost CAN be a top pair d-man alongside Provorov and wreck poop and help Provy out too, who looked way more confident and active.

Maybe someone can dredge up a year old quote saying the same thing to leave me in shambles.

You did that yourself with the Provorov looked way more confident and active comment. That statement should be on a bill board for confirmation bias.

Once a douchebag, always a douchebag.

Really liked the Ghost/Provorov pair last night, the Hagg/AMac not so much. Perhaps they should try putting Sanheim with AMac and Hagg with Gudas. Sanheim can do most of the puck handling on a pair with AMac and Hagg can move to his natural side while playing with Gudas.

I liked the changes in the forward lines too, now they just need to get Lindblom up so that we can get Lehtera off the ice.

Overall I thought they played pretty well, just ran into a very good goalie who was on top of his game. Oh well, perhaps they should have tried to convince Bob that it was a playoff game.

I like the Gostisbehere-Provorov pairing but not sure about it long term. I don't see as a pairing that should be used in all game situations. I completely don't like the MacDonald-Hagg pairing. Too similar of players and don't compliment each other well.
I think the Flyers were more aggressive and up on their skates last night than the Buffalo game but they were too much of a one line team last night. Weal was a healthy scratch so if he could get his act together, he could get Lehtera out of the lineup.

I think the Provy/Ghost pair is fine long term, obviously you break them up for PK and when protecting a lead in the last couple minutes of the game, but other than that, I really like it. Re Weal: I'd rather have a struggling Weal in the lineup over Lehtera. Lehtera's skating is just awful and he does little, if anything, productive while on the ice. I knew he was on the decline, but to have all 0 goals and 2 assists after 20 games while also being -5 is just pathetic. While he and Weal both have so-so possession stats, at least Weal can skate and he has 3 goals and 9 points in 30 games while only being -3.

At this point, Lindblom, Read, and when he's healthy, Vecchione should be playing before Lehtera.

I have to admit, Brian Elliott has been really good for us. I can't imagine where we'd be right now if this team was subjected to Mason's constant up and down play again this year.

I liked Konecny up on first line.....thought he played well. The ghost /‘provy pairing really could be dynamic....the nice thing is they are both still young and should be in the Flyer plans for years to come. I thought they complemented each other nicely. Hopefully Lindblom is close, god knows they could use more skill....there was a Weise sighting on the second pp unit last night. That shouldn’t happen....ever....like ever.

- Landsbergfan

so who do you like after the obvious 4 or 5 picks?

Amac and Hägg were horrendous.

The Provy/Ghost pair has potential to be a lot like the Howe/McCrimmon pair was in the mid 80's. While I don't think that Ghost will ever be as complete a player as Mark Howe was, I do think that Provorov can be a more dynamic and better all around player than McCrimmon was to balance it out.

I'd replace Ghost on the PK, but other than that, I'd roll with this pair for a while and let them build some chemistry together.

Lindblom has been playing very well of late, if it keeps up, I think he's up soon. At that point, I'm hoping to see:

G-Coots-TK
Raffl-Patrick-Voracek
Lindblom-Filppula-Simmonds
Leier-Laughton-Weise or Weal

And, I'd still look to see if Weal can be dealt for a bigger, grittier player that can penalties and be a better fit on the 4th line.

Amac and Hägg were horrendous.

Both have subpar puck skills. I think they'd be much better off putting Sanheim with AMac and letting Hagg play his natural side paired with Gudas.
