Flyers coming to the Garden Thursday night at 7:00 as the Bs try to pick up their 15th win against only 2 losses (and move to 10-0 at home).
Hopefully Montgomery will give these 2 PP squads a chance to click. I like having at least 1 D on each squad. Lindholm feeding Krejci for 1 timers, Zacha in the bumper and Hall in the Marchand spot should provide good opportunities for the 2nd squad.PP1: McAvoy, Pastrnak, Marchand, Bergeron, DeBrusk
PP2: Lindholm, Krejci, Hall, Zacha, Foligno
I wouldn’t. Chicago is a similar caliber team on Saturday, it’s a home game. Plus it gives Swayman a couple extra practices and gives Ullmark three days off before the Tampa & Florida trip.Do you start Sway against a weaker Flyers team to ease him back in, as much as you can in the NHL, or do you just continue to ride the hot hand?
Probably best that his 1st goalie hug happen as the backup.I wouldn’t. Chicago is a similar caliber team on Saturday, it’s a home game. Plus it gives Swayman a couple extra practices and gives Ullmark three days off before the Tampa & Florida trip.
They do give up a lot of shorthanded bids.Powerplay looks like it turned into a penalty kill for a bit
They’re a Torts team. You’ll never see them not at their hardest.Flyers look… better than expected?
They call that every time. Nothing to complain about there.That seems like a weak tripping call. Can’t swing at the puck, hit it; and then hit a guys skates?
PhrasingThey’re a Torts team. You’ll never see them not at their hardest.
Right. I'm not sure the flyers can play any better. I think the bruins can.They’re a Torts team. You’ll never see them not at their hardest.
The turnovers / defensive zone coverage has been an issue since game 1 of this season. They've been bailed out by good goaltending + scoring. I wish we would see more improvement in the defensive end...that's the type of thing that will drive you mad in the playoffs.Terrible period, so many turnovers. Bad passing. It's quickly becoming a pattern. Ully only reason they aren't getting run out of the barn.
Now that I say that they'll come out like a house on fire in the 2nd and look completely different lol
The ice is shit (as usual) but they’re also not skating enough.Is the ice complete shit tonight?
It’s amazing that they still haven’t fixed the ice plant.The ice being so bad really pisses me off.
Nice sequence started by good back check and forecheck by Jake.
Yeah, it was pretty all aroundFoligno also making a play. Again
