Title: Flyers 15-16 Season Thread
Post by: Rome on October 09, 2015, 10:49:03 AM
Since no one could be bothered.

Nice to see them pick up right where they left off last year. 

Can't score on penalties, blow a lead, then lose because the other team is faster and has better skill guys in OT.

Go team.

not trying to say they are going to be a great team but I don't think last night was a good barometer of that...on the road went punch for punch with a cup favorite and held their own

what's hilariously disheartening is that mason appears to be a grade A Stanley cup goalie....something they have been looking for since the 80's and they have a horrible defense around him and not great forwards either
Title: Re: Flyers 15-16 Season Thread

I don't care if the young kids are ready or not.  They have to be better than the slop they're putting out there now.

And I totally agree about Mason.  The ironic thing is he's only 27 but when they skim Homer's crud off the roster and they're in a position to legitimately compete, he'll be on the downside and they'll be right back to where they started.

BTW: Medvedev got nailed for an illegal stick on the PP.   C'mon, dude.

It's basically the same team as last year just with a new coach.  I don't see how they're any better than 5th or 6th in the division again
Title: Re: Flyers 15-16 Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on October 09, 2015, 03:43:15 PM
I don't think the flyers are the same team...they dont have Craig berube Andrew McDonald Zack Rinaldo or nik grossman....all these guys were complete garbage and replaced with better parts

most importantly they aren't getting 30+ starts from Ray emery who was a train wreck

that said I do agree that they can't finish above 5th in the division even if they are a better team as they should be....the top four in the division include three Stanley cup contenders plus a really good islanders team

I don't know if hes trying to overcompensate to get the players respect because he's the first college coach to jump to the nhl in 25 years but you might wanna wait more than one game before sitting down one of the most respected veterans on the team

So, admittedly I never watched MDZ until he was a Flyer but didn't they just sign him off the scrap heap last year? Dude seems to be solid all over the ice as a top pairing d-man. Watching him last year and through a few games this season it's hard to imagine that no one else wanted him.

QuoteMichal Neuvirth, who beat the Florida Panthers, 1-0, on Monday in his first start for the Flyers, made it two shutouts in two starts for Philadelphia with a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. Neuvirth is the fifth goaltender in NHL history to record a shutout in each of his first two career starts for one team. The other goaltenders to do that are Roland Melanson with the Canadiens (October 1991), Roman Turek for the Flames (October 2001), Jeff Hackett with the Flyers (October 2003) and Jean-Sebastien Giguere for the Maple Leafs (February 2010).

Phillie Phans are fairweather, Eagle fans were tamed when the team moved to the Linc, Sixer fans don't actually attend games, but Flyer fans are still the real deal - unreconstructed degenerates. They keep the Philly spirit alive even when the team is as boring as shtein. They might be the Philly fanbase that is the least in touch with reality, but I love them for it.

good sharp prov write up from the world juniors...

QuoteProvorov was Russia's top defenseman, a staple on their top power-play unit and displayed elite puck movement. His defense was a little hit-and-miss at times -- as an underage player, he showed his lack of strength and missed the odd assignment -- but overall, he was solid in his own end when you totaled up all his shifts. He has a distinct way of traveling around the ice, almost seeming to glide on his feet while looking up to make the tough plays. Provorov was one of the three best defenders at the tournament.

not sure if anyone heard or cares but koecny got traded last week in the ohl....his debut tonight for his new team he notched a hat trick

I read that but didn't/don't have any idea how that works. He's still in the flyers org but can be traded between minor league teams? Totally baffled by the logistics but whatever. Young talent everywhere right now and it gives me the boners.

Not minor league teams, junior teams.  NHL teams have no say over what the junior leagues do, from what I can gather.

Post by: ice grillin you on January 14, 2016, 10:49:24 PM
new mid season top 50 nhl prospects is out...

17. Ivan Provorov, D, Philadelphia Flyers (Previous: 31)
Age: 19 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 201
Team: Brandon (WHL) | GP: 32 | G: 9 | A: 23

Provorov was one of the best defensemen at the WJC, and continues to be a pillar for his WHL team. His hockey sense is top-end. He just looks like a unique player on the ice in terms of how he moves the puck, jumps into the attack and anticipates the play. He looks a little awkward traveling around the ice due to his skating style, but he makes it work very well for him, and overall I'd rate him very good in that area. He projects as a top-end scorer with average to slightly above-average defensive abilities.

23. Travis Konecny, C, Philadelphia Flyers (Previous: 18)
Age: 18 | Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 176
Team: Ottawa (OHL) | GP: 29 | G: 7 | A: 38

Konecny has been great in the first few months of this OHL season, and should be a key part of Sarnia's playoff run after being traded to them (he has three goals in two games since the trade). He's a really exciting player to watch because he's a little engine who can beat you with speed or skill, or pummel you into the ice, despite his diminutive frame. If he can stay healthy as a pro, he has all the tools to be successful in the NHL as a scorer. While often tagged as an "energy bug," he does have dynamic skill components to his game as well.

37. Oskar Lindblom, LW, Philadelphia Flyers (Previous: 46)
Age: 19 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 192
Team: Brynas (SHL)| GP: 28 | G: 5 | A: 13

He has been very good for Brynas in the SHL this season, getting some significant minutes on a regular basis. Lindblom won't blow you away with skill, but he has solid hands, very good vision and has some creativity in his game. He's also a reliable off-the-puck forward who plays hard and has the size to get to the net to win the tough battles. His speed is still a big issue, although he has shown improvement in that area recently.


there were ten honorable mentions flyers had one : Travis Sanheim, D, Philadelphia Flyers

flyers also had two of the top ten goalies: 6. Felix Sandstrom, Philadelphia Flyers, 10. Anthony Stolarz, Philadelphia Flyers

Game win or series win? No idea.

No team has advanced since 2012, right? That kinda seems like a more emotionally brutal streak than the 2014-present playoff absence.

I think there's other examples though. Once Jordan retired in '98, none of the five Chicago teams advanced beyond the first round in the playoffs for over five years. And then they got the Steve Bartman series. That's the price you pay for getting to enjoy all those years of MJ I guess. Even crazier with that being a 5/4 city. Tack on a couple extra years if you're a Sox fan (they then won the World Series though).

I'm thinking this is probably the worst Philly streak because typically the city always got bailed out by the Flyers.

Long term it is better for the Flyers to not be in the playoffs this year.  They still need building (particularly offensively) before they can really contend for the Cup.

Still stinks to not see the playoffs for so long, though.

My thoughts exactly. That 5 minute major kill off was insane. I want playoff hockey back, even if they get bounced in the first round. Hockey is an odd sport, you get a hot goalie and you never know what happens. This current team doesn't have a SC run in them but farg it.

My concern has less to do with the draft position and more to do with how management responds to being in the playoff hunt. I think I'm just stung from years of chasing that 'final piece' at the expense of making the smart long-term choices to move the team forward. Doesn't seem like Hextall's style but if they start sniffing around as buyers at the trade deadline I'll be extremely bummed.

Again, you're sort of mis-understanding my concern. I don't think they'll go in search of signing everything that moves. I just don't want them going after ANYONE or giving up ANYTHING at the deadline. If they're close to a playoff spot in a few weeks, how they manage that situation will say a lot about how much we can trust this team with its newfound sanity.

I understand getting rid of Hartnell.  But getting Umberger was ludicrous.  He was broken down with Columbus, and possibly was going to be bought out by them.  Hartnell was worth something, Hextall got nothing.

And in general I've been a big fan of Hextall as GM, but he whiffed on that decision.

its not like hextall got offered some good young player for hartnell and said "nah farg it I want rj umberger"....hartnell was and is an albatross

I tend to think that they could have gotten something more than Umberger out of dealing Hartnell, but it hardly matters. His contract was garbage, he was not a fit with what modern teams want/need and he needed to go.

some prospect news i was looking at to soothe the healing of that hideous loss last night...

provorovs numbers this year - 15g, 43a, +49 in 54 games - pretty awesome

don't look now but the flyers might have a real deal goalie prospect...anthony stolarz has been sick in allentown this year...last night he stopped 51 of 53 shots

corey pronman who is the number one prospect guru in the hockey world had this to say yesterday "One prospect in hindsight I had too low on my January prospect board was Konecny-PHI. He's looked so good the last few months."

he already had him as the 22nd best prospect in the world and that was too low!

who ever said anything about extra pics being awful? I just said it was laughable to think 3 extra third rounders and a second is going to make a difference in them winning the Stanley Cup. It's not like football where they are really worth something, or it can be worth trading down a few spots in the top of the first round to get a couple extra second rounders. If you want impact players the odds are heavily against you once you start getting out of the first round, or even the middle of the first round in the NHL, much less the third.

pretty crazy to think phaneuf holds this record...

QuoteRookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere scored the game-winning goal for the Flyers in their 4-3 victory over the Red Wings. It was Gostisbehere's fifth game-winning goal this season, which is the second-highest single-season total by a rookie defenseman in NHL history, behind the seven game-winners that Dion Phaneuf scored for Calgary in 2005-06.

What's amazing is they gave up the lead while they were on the power play. My one hope is that I don't think Detroit is that good, and despite last night, the Flyers are still playing at a higher level.

Also frustrating is how many chances they had to put the game away.

yeah how do you have a PP AND an empty net and give up a two goal lead with a minute left...thats some up 12 with 44 seconds left shtein...

all you have to do is play keep away with the puck and if something opens up just put it in the open net...if he wasn't one of their best players and they need every point they can get right now wayne simmonds should sit for a game or two for that clear and maybe not even for the clear but the shrug afterwards...that was sickening

I could maybe see them resting some people at some point but trotz is not the kind of coach that will let anyone lay down...add in the caps horrible history of choking in the playoffs and the last thing they want is to go in cold...altho that pertains to the last seven games....this will be the very first game after clinching the prez trophy so there might be a small unavoidable letdown

ideally tho what happens is that detroit loses tonight in a tough 2nd in two at montreal then the caps game becomes a bonus game versus a must win type game

The Caps have jack shtein to play for Wednesday but I doubt they lay down.
ideally tho what happens is that detroit loses tonight in a tough 2nd in two at montreal then the caps game becomes a bonus game versus a must win type game

perfect result.....now tonight a loss isnt huge but a win would be...exactly what you wanted

isles also should have lost last night....were losing and outplayed most of the game they stole one

How about at least 10 minutes in the OT?  Or maybe a whole period.  And, just maybe... let the farging game end in a tie instead of a Bettman 3-point special.

Agree with this. 75% of the time one team is gonna score 3 on 3. I don't mind there not being a winner. Shootouts are farging lame.

hockey had ties for a hundred years before they didn't the reason for getting rid of them was solid...teams would try not to lose in ot

but that's hard to do for  five minutes of 3v3 and basically impossible to do in ten minutes

I hate the shootout but I hate a pt for a loss way more...that needs to go bad

Yeah, Don, they need two points.  Two OT losses and they're in as well.  Though I would miss the playoffs through heart issues at that point.

They're so damned tentative right now.  If I have an issue with Hakstol, it's these late game shell he has them play it.  Probably just a nod to the lack of overall talent, but it's wrecking my nerves for them to do this during a powerplay.  I hope it doesn't bite them in the ass.

They'll win at least one and possibly two. The Caps are over rated and consistent playoff chokers. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Flyers take game 1 in Wash. If they were playing the Pens I'd agree with an easy sweep.

Too early to talk offseason moves? Probably not

I hope they trade one of either Sanheim or Morin and a pick for Drouin. They have enough defensive talent in the pipeline...also remember Del Zotto will be back. They need a talent like Drouin on offense.
Title: Re: Flyers 15-16 Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on April 09, 2016, 09:08:25 PM
id do morin in a heartbeat...but I think sanheim has top 2 potential...not saying I would never trade him...but I think he should be kept to maximize his potential
Title: Re: Flyers 15-16 Season Thread
Post by: SD on April 09, 2016, 09:21:58 PM
I like Morin's game it's just he was taken with the thought he'd eventually become better offensively. Hasn't happened and probably never will. Agreed on Sanheim.

Rumor I saw at the deadline was Morin/Laughton/Flyers 1st for Drouin. Yzerman will definitely deal him during the draft.

He's 100% gone. I know he's playing now but there's too much bad blood for them not to move him.
Title: Re: Flyers 15-16 Season Thread
Post by: Rome on April 10, 2016, 09:14:42 AM
It's funny you used the term, "bad blood" because Yzerman specifically said in an interview that there was no bad blood between him, Drouin or the Lightning organization.   It's a total crock of shtein because of course there is.  A guy demands a trade then gets sent down to farging Syracuse, absolutely lights it up, then gets called back up because the team needs him.   Yeah, I'm sure he's feeling just peachy after being abused the way he was.

I would love to see him in a Flyers sweater, btw, but I just don't see it happening.

They have zero chance at getting Stamkos.  It's retarded to even suggest it because of the cap restrictions.  The only way they'd get him is to trade Giroux and that ain't happening, Whitey.  Sorry.

Similar to what Hextall said at the PC today, everything about this team, including its flaws, was an extension of the personality of the man at the top. I hope that identity never changes now that he's gone. This team won a hell of a lot of games playing for Ed Snider.

if I did im sure it was reverse psychology....which I wouldn't do when telling someone to pick a team...anyway over the last 25 years I might have for real picked the caps once...maybe sometime in the mid aughts I cant recall...maybe the year they lost to montreal

they never had a goalie and a coach and often had neither....that's going to be the difference this year...but again they could have their best team ever and easily still lose to the pens because of their draw...but I think this is the year they get over the hump

The Crosby Pens are also unbelievable chokers and wouldn't have a single Cup if it wasn't for a brutal collapse by the Red Wings, even though they've been a top team in the conference for a decade.

Hockey champions for the last 10 years are as random as they come though, #1 seeds have only won twice in the last decade. A team like the Hawks can farg around and win again. It's not like basketball where if you're a 4 seed or lower you might as well forget it.

Sports are the product of the blood and time you put into them.  I've drifted more and more towards the sixers and farther away from the flyers as I get older.  I'll watch the playoffs and get into the games but it's just not on the same level anymore as Eagles/sixers/CFB/CBB.

Phils/Eagles/Flyers are all at the top for me.  Every game I can manage (120+ for the Phils, just about all the Eagles and 65+ for the Flyers).

I've actually fallen off college football a bit - could be where I live, with a liberal mix of the Penn State scandal as well.  I get sick of the Florida/Florida State crap.  Probably more of an event (along with a few Penn State games) watcher here at this point.

Basketball took a dive in the 1990s.  I do follow the Sixers, but it's just not at the same level, and they're never on national television (for obvious reasons).  I'll catch maybe 10-15 games a season.  I'll watch a few playoff games and most of the finals.

College basketball is the lowest for me - I caught maybe 5 games (all Big 5) before the tournament.

Totally agree!  My coworker in our Denver office is from Philly and is Flyers 1, Eagles 2, Bums distant 3, Sixers - who?  We talk at least once a day and it always comes back to the Flyers.  He has really got me into them the past month.  I have always admitted that I just have a hard time with hockey being out here but I love the Flyers, I was going ape shtein as much as the rest of you during that incredible run in 2010.  Flyered up!

Phils/Eagles dead heat #1 for me. Sixers, Flyers.  Try to watch or at least follow every birds/phils game.  Have to admit I was so out of touch with the Flyers this year until recently.  Sixers are just a joy to laugh at/with.  Love CFB & Soccer also (MSL refuse to watch)

This is a great topic.

i'm not gonna give caps fans props because they are a terrible group of people (they literally were trying to get the usher to throw out a flyers fan because he was cheering loud) but i have never been to a DC-Philly sporting event and seen so little philly fans. like normally at verizon center its like 70-30 caps-flyers fans. last night there were a few hundred flyers fans. total. very weird. maybe it was the fact that the flyers literally just got in but it was a small crew.

to be fair they also allowed the flyers to take the puck all the way down to the caps end after a flyer penalty before realizing that's not how it works

big difference is if the flyers had scored in the first instance it wouldn't have counted...if they score in the second one its a goal

Life had made me miss most of the first two games, but I did have it on the car radio last night.  The Flyers' announcers were openly questioning and criticizing the refs.  I haven't seen enough of the games to form an opinion on the officiating, but I thought it was interesting that Coates (who I would expect Flyers homerism from) and the other guy were practically shouting at the refs from the broadcast booth.

I did see the replay of the second goal Mason gave up last night... ugh.  That may be the worst goal I have ever seen an NHL goalie give up.

officiating has been curious in general....like not knowing what a delayed penalty means....but overall id say it has slightly favored the flyers

Most of you probably turned the game off, but Orlov got drilled into the boards. A big fight broke out. Then he's on the bench and fans are cursing and throwing shtein at him. So the announcer said "stop throwing stuff over the glass, show some class here, this is Philly"...lol

Precisely.  I was waiting that whole game for the kill shot from Washington.  They dominated that game, except where it counts.

Neuvirth and a lucky bounce for White brings them home for one more game.

The best part of last night's game was watching the noose tighten a little more around Washington's throat.   They led this shtein 3-0 and absolutely dominated games 1-3 and now 5.  The Flyers literally have no business being in this series.  Washington is just head and shoulders better than them in every phase of the game.  Yet they just... can't... close... it... out...

farg.  Washington.

Invisible offense. It's like they can't get a puck to settle on their stick let alone a good shot. And when they do have a chance coming into the zone they're met at the blue line and that's the end of that.

He's only playing because of injuries. Not only do they have Provorov/Sanheim/Morin in the pipeline but they also have Del Zotto coming back. Now they need to add another scorer on top of Konechny
