siddious Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 I dont think thats new Ozzy they were doing that to start the season when they had those few great games then they sort of forgot to keep doing it. I remember even posting on here that it finally looks like they have figured out how to forecheck correctly after years of dumping and coasting. Its a great system when done right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember even posting on here that it finally looks like they have figured out how to forecheck correctly after years of dumping and coasting. Its a great system when done right. I was kinda catching on to what they were trying to do a few games back against Toronto. It looked like they were trying something a little different than that left wing lock earlier in the season. I gotta see it a few more times, Pete. It looks like it something different with the F3 taking up the midde instead of flushing everything to the boards. I'm probably wrong, but something was definitely different last night. It seemed like the 4th line was constantly sending in 2 deep. Then they went 1-3-1 with the 3rd line for a shift. It was weird...no wonder why the Caps were all fucked up. One thing I did notice is the Laviolette is a fucking MASTER of getting matchups!! Pitlick and Vesey were all over Ovie like spots on a Dalmation last night. ....guy had ZIP out there! I think he had one chance off that faceoff.

Valriera Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Edstrom just recalled again apparently just in case they need an extra forward for the Florida trip. I don't quite understand that one but also can't hurt I guess. Personally, I'd rather see him in the lineup than any of our bonino line because he was awesome in his debut but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they wouldn’t have let him on the ice today or let him get on a plane and fly to Florida if there was any type of reason to be concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason they put concussion spotters at games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he he feels just fine the next morning and that feels like an I just wanna get back on the ice reaction. Somebody should be watching to be sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident they have a medical team taking care of it. Hence why Fil the thrill is doing puzzles instead of hockey practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this. This coaching staff seems much more cautious than previous regimes. I think that's a big reason why Jim Ramsay was showing the door. You see some of those hits and then games where Lindgren played, he never should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacing 58 wins; 2024 is gunna be fun to watch as this becomes more of a possibility. We started with a somewhat unbalanced schedule. More than our share non-division games (25 out of 32). At the Christmas break that meant that 19 of our remaining 50 games were going to be Metropolitan divisional games (38%). It is going to be tough to keep up the current points percentage once we get stuck into that quagmire of desperate teams. Hope I am wrong.

Ozzy Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 One game at a time. No need to set a record. If they do, great...if they don't I would just hope to get everyone back, healthy and just keep learning the system, their defensive coverage and developing the kids for the playoff run.

From what I've seen of the Flyers, Hart has played very well in Torts' defense-above all approach. Edited January 2 by Bugg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Torts is per usual getting high effort from his players. But they don’t have much talent. Isles could be dangerous. But right now, they are technically a sub-.500 team.

Then we play them once in march and twice in April. Schedule continues to be strange this year. All games in april besides like 1 are eastern conference semi-local games too so at least that helps with end of season fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know the teams have some input on scheduling based on availability of their arenas. But does it go beyond that? Do they get to submit preferences for when road trips happen and other requests? This season has been a bit of a hot soup sandwich schedule wise. Rangers always seem to get a Florida trip in late December and go to Calif., AZ and Vegas when it's winter here.
