Weak goal?
- ClaudeFather


Wasn’t weak. Good fake move that opens the goalie up. It’s also a breakaway haha

Risto with a well deserved player of the game tonight, so far he looks like the perfect Flyer!

It looks weak because he’s beaten 5 hole on a slow shot but that move included a good shot fake and when that happens it can be hard to close th five hole as you stretch to stop the guy from going around you.

Or the fact that he’s beaten about 5 other goalies with the same break away move. If you think that’s a weak goal you don’t know a thing. Maybe sarcasm we aren’t detecting

I don't totally disagree but if you're a Caps fan, you're shaking your head at that one. And if it was a Flyers goalie, we'd be doing the same thing. It was soft. That's what I'm sayin.

If anything that’s a nice outing for Jones, get him some confidence

No way. If it’s flyers or another tender that’s a breakaway and a solid move. What happens is the shooter can fake a forehand shot then move back hand like he’s going to go backhand so you open up the five hole as a goalie and the shooter slide or five hole. Slick move. Simple as that.

I was gonna post that Jones was solid this game. Good rebound control. Keep that up and we’ll be fine

I hope they wrap a lot of games up in regulation in OT before it gets to a shootout.

I’m not sure if just hate shootouts or I hate them because the Flyers have been so bad at them.

I'm in the latter. I have no problem deciding a game in a shootout if you can't score in 3 on 3 in 5 minutes.

I personally would prefer them to get rid of the shootout. Go 3 on3 for 10 mins and if no goals. A tie.

Risto is da man!! So glad to see a defender that actually lays people out!! I really take nothing out of this game other than the fact that the Flyers will be more physical this year and harder to play against!! Thanks!!

IDK, I have liked Lehner for his honesty so this is troubling to me.

Hope he’s ok. Looks kind of like a rant. I read that he’s trying to call Vigneault out.

Well he says there’s truth to it. There’s one thing going off on Twitter, there’s another thing accusing someone without solid proof. Did av ever coach him?

I would say that if I was a Vegas fan I’d be worried. Kind of seems like he’s in a dark place.

The question is read where? Facebook?
- Glak18


AV said it the other day after practice when asked for updates on Laczynski and Allison. In Allison's case, he said the player was being evaluated for potential surgery. In Laczynski's case, it was basically decided that he'd have surgery.

Totally agree! I guess lots of folks on here never played hockey. you make that move and open up the five hole that isn't a weak goal as any goalie will tell you. that's a tough save when a guy is coming at you with that speed.

I read Allison is most likely getting surgery and will be out several months, if true a real bummer!
- jd250



How is being out several months equal to being out for the season?
