What is he doing out there in OT

Sanheim
York
Walker.


Why is this difficult?

Harts been solid in OT
- Dkos

He was…but he’s the reason they were there. Rough night for him. Give him credit he fought through but this a game he’ll need to forget.

ok coach lol
- bradster

Am I wrong? I didn’t think so.

I don't understand why Walker doesn't play in OT. He has wheels
- MJL

Mind boggling

I'm not sure Risto and his 1 pt for the season screams offensive difference maker in OT. However, with Atkinson getting a shift and Farabee seeing no ice time, questionable decisions a plenty.

What an inconsistent showing from Hart. 6th goal was atrocious but he was huge in OT.
- Pelle31Forever

Rough start after his long hiatus. He’ll be fine he had it together after the first

Absolutely! Risto played well tonight for a 3rd pair D man...at best
- Don Nachbaur

He was good tonight. He’s had a pretty good year.

The only reason I brought it up is after he completely misread the play at center ice and made a terrible pass and gave up puck possession.

Yep, great OT. Otherwise not a good game for him. Glad to see him back anyway.

Hart cannot let that puck in!!

That will be on the NHL blooper reel 🤡

First game back and he was off. He was battling the whole night and came up well in ot.

Exactly. Risto seems to be more about stay at home Dman at this point. 3 on 3 is offensive skill. I think he is being placed in a situation where he can t succeed. That's why I would not mind him being paired with York more to allow York to be more offensive minded.

He’s been awesome all year…hopefully he can get healthy. You could see after the rust wore off he was fine. That one in the 3rd was rough…but no one’s perfect…

Hart will be fine. Just one of those games. The Flyers could've wilted and submitted but they didn't. The kept pushing. The Wings have a ton of talent but their play after the first period was embarrassing. Especially on the Tippett goal as 3 Red Wings just stood there and watched. Ever hear of sealing off the net?

Good road point after being so far down.
- MBFlyerfan

100% …it’s also a great game to fall back on….they know they are capable of coming back that far. Confidence wise that was a nice response.

Losing in that shootout after the amazing comeback is like a direct kick in the "nads". The real issue isn't Harts tough 1st period, it's that weak 6th goal. Not the 1st time hes given one up like that. Poor concentration. Makes me wonder what type of goalie he will be if we ever get back to being a playoff contender

They are very soft in their own zone.

Don't understand why Atkinson is getting a shift in OT. Clearly not playing well while Farabee, who just continues to make plays, doesn't see the ice. Ristolainen with two shifts. He doesn't have the wheels that Walker has.

They remind me of the Eagles on ice

Pretty sure he will be fine. The flyers got severely outplayed in OT. Hart shook off the last goal and was solid in OT.

He’s been out for an extended stretch and this happens when you’re shaking the rust off. He’s been excellent all year. 1 bad game after an extended absence and illness where he surely couldn’t practice and we’re ready to throw him under the bus?

Why doesn’t farabee have a game for 3 vs 3? Idk maybe he’s not comfortable in the format. It’s super weird.

Not trying to be hyperbole ….but is Hart the goalie of the future for the Flyers? Or do they see Ersson as the guy? Probably not the night to pose that question…but with Ersson playing so solid for the last 7 weeks, this May become a question in the future.
