I think it’s tougher than you think. Greiss is better off the bench than Varly in my opinion. Varly has been the typical starter as well. That said he has not been as sharp the last couple games. It’s game 7 and it’s a big decision. Every line up change or move is magnified.

No question Greiss is not good if he gets a lot of work but this would not be that situation and no back to back games helps.

Just wouldn’t want to make that decision. Barry is earning his big bucks, that’s for sure.

Don’t know if you read Staple in The Athletic but he had a real good article in there today.

Greiss is a very tempting especially after he won that last game. I do not get the Athletic. Staple should pay us to read him.

I read him with an open mind. I agreed with his article today 100%.

Of course Flyers are there doing their job trying to clear the sight lines. That said the Flyers were being out shot 42-17 after 3 periods. Hart played very well last night but hasn’t been consistent. He goes from playing at a .920 + save percentage Like last night and then the next game is sub .900.
He’s been doing this the entire post season.
I hope he continues this trend.
Varly’s game has not been sharp the last couple of games or at least at the level he was playing at before. I said last night Barry would play him again in game 7 but I could see Greiss getting the nod.
That decision is one I wouldn’t want to make.
- nyisles7

100% it’s a tough call.

Totally agree. Typically in this series the better goalie won the game. 3 times it was the Islanders and 3 times it was the Flyers.

On Sorokin, I agree with hoping he plays like he has in the KHL. That said let’s wait until he plays a few AHL or NHL games before we are handing him the starting or savior job in the POs.

Meh not sure I can say Varlamov has won us a game in this series. First few games he did what he had to do when called upon but there weren’t any saves that were wonderful saves. The panthers series yeah Varlamov was on his game this series I’ll disagree with you on that. The islanders defense was strong the first few games and weak the last three and Varlamov was weak as well the last three. He was not capable to steal any games for us in this series that’s the difference right now between him and hart and why we're going to game 7 imo.

Varly was lights out in Game 4. I thought he made some real great stops.
As we both said he wasn’t as sharp and his game dropped the last 2 games for sure. That said there were so turnovers that lead to the Flyers goals last night.
Let’s agree calling for Sorokin is just foolish.
Well on to game 7, I like our chances.

Why aren’t you out bagging some Tuna right now?

Oh I didn’t realize that it was blowing hard out there. Not much wind on the Sound / North Shore, must be out of the South.

Wsw now and supposed to come East and northeast. When it comes out of the East offshore it’s always harder then predicted don’t feel like getting beat up. Did that a couple times already this season. I’ll probably stay inshore this weekend the inshore forecast wasn’t bad.

Gotta pay attention to the weather that’s for sure. Got a couple keeper Black Sea Bass Out on the kayak yesterday.

Good luck.

Eberle was a wet noodle out there last night I can care less what his underlying stats tell us. This isn’t money ball if people think that’s the only variable that will win them games they can go find tanner on twitter and have at it with that moron. Eberle had multiple chances to score last night he either didn’t shoot at all or shot it fifteen feet wide. I don’t hate the guy but I’m not going to dress up what we’ve seen from him the last couple of games as being good. I’ll also lump Beau into that evaluation. These guys have to snap out of it along with our entire defense which has been shockingly terrible imo the last few games.

It’s like they all forgot how to play the game they’ve been playing for the last couple of seasons. I say this knowing they played a pretty good game last night but like I’ve said a couple times already there’s a lot of individualism out there at times the last few games and the flyers capitalize, every, single, time that happens. Pelech, Pulock, Lee, and Eberle have been the biggest culprits imo which is shocking. Give the flyers credit they’ve gotten all of the above mentioned players completely off their game for three games now.

With Pelech it’s completely out of character to see. He has made multiple blunders directly leading to flyers goals. Pulock as well. That pairing has not been their usual dependable selves...

I was having a mild disagreement with nite who said I undervalued Eberle. That's why I was curious what his advanced stats indicated. I agree that the eye test is unfavorable for Eberle.

I just watched the replay on MSG.. Eberle missed some friggin wide open goals. Wide friggin open... the one on the PP was a lay up. Hit the outside of the net, the backhander over the net when he had all the time & Space in the world, the 3 on 2 where instead of shooting he went to the backhand again and put a weak shot wide.. .. it's like he is afraid someone is coming. seems to be always going away from the contact while shooting too.. tough to watch.. again.

Greiss is a very tempting especially after he won that last game. I do not get the Athletic. Staple should pay us to read him.

How many times did they get it to Pulock with guys in front and he completely missed the net? 6? 7? I get it that he has a great shot and wants to snipe it.. but when you have Lee and others in front.. get it on net.

Third period of I think game 3 he was really good...I'd say definitely above expectations. Game 1, you can't really ask for more than what he did, but I agree he wasn't really called on to be spectacular in that one. For most of the series, though, his rebound control has been

No idea we need 7 to tell us.

Just need to play like they did tonight and the odds are strongly in their favor. Keep pumping shots and outshooting Philly and they will win. Crazy with all the shots they had how many were high and wide. Just hit the net and pick up some garbage. Sad thing is the Isles can probably hang with Tampa but Philly will get swept if they make it. Just the way it goes sometimes.

Canadiens fans said they’d win in 5 and
Isles fans said the same thing and Canadiens fans agreed
Now isles fans saying flyers gonna get swept once and if we get past them by the bolts (who btw we beat handedly in round robin)

😂 ok

Bailey Sucks, Komarov is shat and Eberle needs to go to a puck shooting session and bring Brock along

You asked for it.

I don't recall that. Only thing I remember was that, given the choice of opponents, we'd prefer the Flyers to the Bruins, because the latter always seem to beat us. I don't remember anyone predicting an easy series against the Flyers.
