Sharpshooter Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Next game will be interesting. Can they carry that momentum? If they play badly and lose, it'll seem like they kind of blew their load against Philadelphia. The Flyers goaltending is awful, but the team's boost in confidence was more than evident.

Ozzy Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 That was a different team out there last night...I gotta admit it! Free flowing, and loose....not only that, but since when do we have a transition game?? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I think it's important to note that this is Quinn's system, Quinn's gameplan, Quinn's personnel decisions, Quinn's film, Quinn's scouting - but Knoblauch behind the bench. Even the Wolfpack play this system. The biggest takeaway from this game is probably that the Flyers are fucking suck on defense. For us, it's probably that Quinn just needs to let them play through and stop letting perfect be the enemy of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Their goaltending is pretty bad too. But, the fact that this historic rout happened the day Quinn isn't behind the bench was going to spark conversation win or lose, really. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Looking at the remaining schedule I think they'll end up with around 62 points. Maybe good enough for 5th in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 They're only 6 points back of the Bruins. There's still half the season to play. If they can get goaltending figured out a bit, I'd give them a fighting chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Even if Mika continues to play better and the start getting better goaltending, catching the Bruins is going to really difficult. I still don't think they'll get in, but at this point, I just want to continue to see more encouraging signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flyers didn't show up, Mika made his season debut and many of our guys played well while some were still invisible with Quinn sitting in his hotel room. It was a fun night I enjoyed following from afar and looking forward to watching it in greater detail when we return from vacation. I would like to thank Carter Hart for the gift and hope we don't return the favor which I think we are capable of at times in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to thank Carter Hart for the gift and hope we don't return the favor which I think we are capable of at times in goal. We just had a game where Libor Hajek took a pass from Alexis Lafreniere and straight frozen-roped it to Filip Chytil for the 7th goal of a period. That's a sentence that didn't exist on the internet before this moment. Literally everyone looked good last night. You just looked a lot better if you happened to match up against the Pro-Am winners on the Flyer blueline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Small sample size (two games), but the Rangers have played Washington pretty well this year. Even if the Flyers were terrible, this kind of game was perfect everyone's confidence no matter how you look at it. They needed a game like this, especially Mika. But momentum is only as good as you're next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I wish we could see Knoblauch behind the bench for a few games to see if he really changes much. Also if hes worth replacing Quinn- I dont want to have to learn how to spell his name for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I actually think the presence of Drury was also very telling; That guy has been a winner at everything he touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the King Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I actually think the presence of Drury was also very telling; That guy has been a winner at everything he touches. Hopefully, if Drury helps coach for 2 weeks, he spends every practice teaching Chytil how to win faceoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
