Agree pronger was my favorite defenseman even before he became a flyer

But Desjardins was pretty good himself, I know pronger was better but not head and shoulders better

Prime Pronger was one of the best Dmen in the history of the league. Play half the game and control both ends of the ice and with an intimidation factor to boot. As great as Rico was (saw him play live most of his career), he did not reach that level. It was a pleasure to watch both. IMO, there was a decent size gap between the two.

Def late. Looked like Sanheim thought he was gonna layoff there too w the way he opened up.

It’s Olivier…you can’t let your guard down…ya it was late but it was right through the body…kid plays tough…good response by TK….Flyers need to respond physically. No one In tonight’s lineup can match him fighting wise, but lay the body.

What a save by Fedotov- that was nice.

I want Laughton off this team so bad, he and his rainbow tape can get the frak out of here!

It wasn’t a cheap hit IMO. A bit late but other than that no issue.

Good game

There is an example right there, 6 seconds left and dzone draw, Couts should be taking that face off.

Laughton does not score enough to justify his lack of defensive awareness. If Briere extends instead of trade, a huge miscalcuation. A 4th liner with term not good defensively.

Fu SO

Wow what a goal by Marchenko.

Every point not gained is a good one

A unnecessary 3 point game.

His lack of awareness cost them the game tonight. If Laughton can’t be counted on to make a simple play and get a line change he is absolutely worthless.

I have no interest in extending him. How many guys have to keep the "culture"? Briere already extended "culture" guys in Seeler and Hathaway. TK would be a "culture" guy. I hope Briere does the right thing.

Poehling & Laughton got 30 minutes of combined icetime tonight.

Yup, Couts and Michkov got around 24 1/2 minutes. Would have been less if the game ended in regulation. Torts always resorts to his grinders in a tight game. Why they will not sniff the playoffs even if the goaltending improves.

Point streak stays alive. Movin’ on up.

Jaime Drysdale had a massively good game tonight. Like elite level good.

Michkov got the fewest 5 on 5 minutes in the team. Even less than Lyksell. They are losing Michkov at 5 on 5.

Flyers rebuild- I've given up figuring out the rational.

A female Flyers reporter just asked Torts about the Seeler-Drysdale pairing being one of the better pairings in the NHL…Torts looked at at her and said What? she said ”analytically they are”….Torts response….”well that’s your problem”.

Very short sample size but if Drysdale plays like he did tonight. Look out. When Drysdale was on the ice at 5 on 5. scoring chances were 17-1 Flyers. 78% of shots taken were for the Flyers and a x GF% of 88.02. That measures shot quality. 50% is break even, above is better quality for your team.

He has an active stick. When he is confident, he stands up at the blue line and shuts down the rush. I see him more willing to carry the puck towards and below the dots in the offensive zone. My hope is he just stays healthy the rest of the season and plays. It will still be up and down. Hopefully they stop tinkering with PP1 and leave it alone. I had no idea Frost was such a good net front presence on the PP. A pleasant surprise.

Frost has had a few good plays there but I wouldn't leave him there. He belongs on the half wall.

just curious what you enjoy more: watching the game or viewing the spreadsheets of said game.

There’s good Risto and then there’s that.
