agree...and your other point about jake

Giroux deserves a ton of credit for getting back on that 2 on 1, but Sanheim shut Taylor Hall the (frank) down on that play. Sanheim has played 3 very strong games in a row and he along with Gudas has been the best pair for almost 2 weeks now

No reason to increase his time, tho.

Who'd have thought that Gudas was money in the bank, and Provorov would be the Jekyll and Hyde guy.

My favorite part of the game vs NJ was Giroux’s backchecking.

Sets a good tone for the rest of the team and led to some transition offense and a goal on one sequence.
- Marc D

Yes it was a topic of conversation during stoppages with the people in my row of the arena. Very good to see it.

so if they are going to keep scratching Vorobyev, send the kid down

Because... Flyers.

We can not have nice things.

It's just a sophomore slump for Provorov...he will be fine

The pk will be bad as long as it’s working in front of mediocre goalies. Even the best PK units need their goalies to make a clutch save now and then. Good luck with that on most nights.
- BiggE

So true, I actually think they are playing better but ZERO big saves. The talent level has been going up for a while now I’m the NHL, more players can make plays and score, you need timely goal tending.

I am hoping Elliot can work his way back. If not, our only option is to shoot Nuevybwitj steroids and let him play.

- nastyflyergirl

He'd getting the Sanheim treatment. Let him sit in the press box to develop his popcorn-fetching skills before being demoted back to the AHL.

Missed the Devils game, have seen some of the tape. Good team game to build on! I really liked that Laughton, Patrick, Voracek line. The speed up the wings is beautiful, and Patrick looks more like himself. I hope it all comes together for him this season.

Looking for another W tonight. Would really like it if none of our d-men have sudden unexpected falls to the ice tonight. If this is going to be a thing this season, they need to set up a fundraiser to make the fall victims donate to charity so we can find a way to laugh and have some positive out of it.

It is almost as if the idea of a sophomore slump is bogus!

lol...even crazier is that I heard Provorov is actually 35!

If the Flyers consistently play defensively as they did against NJ, Elliott will be fine.

who were the goalies during the pre lappy good PK years... they weren't anything to write home about except for bob

That'll probably happen when Neuvirth is ready to play.

If he was a regular on the crack PK unit maybe that would have helped keep him in the lineup.

Yup, Provorov looked really good in preseason.

He got 6 games before being scratched. Hopefully, Hak will get him back in the lineup soon.

- -davies-

Bob, Boosh, Razor and even Leighton in the 09-11 years all played better than Elliott or Pickard are playing now. So far this season, the Flyers are doing a much better job of pressuring the pp before they set up and, for the most part, they are defending better in the D zone. Sure, there have been some breakdowns but the goaltending is killing them.
