11/17 -- Flyers @ Bruins

[Ferm Sheller]

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).

 

[Bergs]

This team is way too much fun for me to not be able to watch them for 3 days.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

PP1: McAvoy, Pastrnak, Marchand, Bergeron, DeBrusk
PP2: Lindholm, Krejci, Hall, Zacha, Foligno

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.

[Edit: Steve Conroy says they’re running out the 5 F PP for 5-3. That‘s ok, much lower risk of short handed breakaways in that situation.]

Fluto also reports that Smith is the extra forward today and doesn’t mention Kinkaid, only Ullmark and Swayman.

 

[Gammon_Clark]

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?

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.

Stralman going in for Zboril, Ullmark in net.

(I'd start Swayman for both games this week but alas)

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Hall - Krejci - DeBrusk
Frederic - Coyle - Zacha
Foligno - Nosek - Greer

Grzelyck - McAvoy
Lindholm - Clifton
Stralman - Carlo

Ullmark

Probably best that his 1st goalie hug happen as the backup.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Sweet pass, Coyle

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Linus looks good at least

 

[Cotillion]

Maybe it's a good thing this wasn't Sway's game back then

 

[barclay]

Hall hasn't scored for awhile. Let's see if we can help him along.

 

[Cotillion]

Powerplay looks like it turned into a penalty kill for a bit

They do give up a lot of shorthanded bids.

 

[tims4wins]

Flyers look… better than expected?

They’re a Torts team. You’ll never see them not at their hardest.

 

[Cotillion]

That seems like a weak tripping call. Can’t swing at the puck, hit it; and then hit a guys skates?

They call that every time. Nothing to complain about there.

 

[Cotillion]

Literally an inch from a goal

Phrasing

 

[katnado]

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

Right. I'm not sure the flyers can play any better. I think the bruins can.
Clean sheet PP is a good start.

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.

 

[Cotillion]

oh look. Trip they call every time. Not called

 

[Cotillion]

Maybe they’ve been off too long and lost some cohesion. Choppy game

 

[Bergs]

Is the ice complete shit tonight?

 

[Salem's Lot]

Is the ice complete shit tonight?

The ice is shit (as usual) but they’re also not skating enough.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The ice being so bad really pisses me off.

Nice sequence started by good back check and forecheck by Jake.

It’s amazing that they still haven’t fixed the ice plant.

 

[joe dokes]

Grz playing like he did *not" sleep at a Holiday Inn last night. Or didn't sleep at all.

 

[Cotillion]

It’s called every time. Except those times it is not.

 

[Scoops Bolling]

WOW!

 

[cshea]

He’s on a heater

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Beauty!

 

[The Mort Report]

you can smile on that one buddy!

 

[joe dokes]

That *was* a lovely play.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Soooooooo pretty

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Nooooooooosek!

 

[Cotillion]

They let him get one. Now he wants them all. Nosek!!

 

[bsl394]

What a play!

 

[McBride11]

Lindholm is fucking incredible. What a pickup

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Hampus is so smooth.

 

[Cotillion]

Foligno also making a play. Again

 

[The Napkin]

NOSEK for Art Ross

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Foligno also making a play. Again

Yeah, it was pretty all around

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Dude, Jake…

 

[joe dokes]

Shoot it Jake.....

 

[scottyno]

Having both Mcavoy and Lindholm locked in through the end of the decade is pretty sweet

 

[Cotillion]

Want Jake to take that shot.

 

[joe dokes]

One of Stralman/Carlo is gonna get one. They both seem to be involved.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

89 seconds of fresh ice on the kill isn’t exactly how I want to start the third, but it really felt like Philly was gonna even the score right before the intermission
