What do you think of getting bump in the lineup for some more offensive juice. Michkov is lucky they didnt score twice off his terrible defensive play last night.
Michkov won’t sit but I do wonder if there’s a lineup change of some sort for Game 3. Barkey had a very strong Game 1, but a tough Game 2.Neither Barkey nor Michkov saw the ice much at all in the third period last night.
GO FLYERS!!
Hopefully a similar showing to Saturday.
Definitely agree. TK especially. He’s a veteran and needs to know better than to attempt high risk passes that lead to turnovers in a close game. I haven’t looked at his ice time, but I think Toch may have short shifted him in the third seeing he didn’t have his game and was making stupid decisions.
He had a couple turnovers in the neutral zone or high in the zone. None were costly. But can’t be doing that in dangerous areas.
I’m not sure why this thread doesn’t have a page break like all the rest? It’s a pain in the butt to have to scroll all the way to the bottom to read or comment on it. Anyway, well, they did it, this rag-tag group made the playoffs. Martone was huge in the push for the playoffs, that kid is something special but not in a flashy way, he’s just a good solid young player.
I agree. Have told FZP Digital we specifically need
1) Page breaks for easier navigation to most recent comments.
2) Eliminate need for moderator approval of all blog comments (that’s now been done)
3) Easier reply system with automatic quotes for all comments so people know you are replying to.Lots of regulars out for Carolina tonight. Still have to win it
Flyers can’t worry about who is in or out for Carolina tonight. They’ve been sitting regulars the last few games (although not quite this many) and still won. Boston had a bunch of regulars out against Columbus yesterday and still one. So I agree totally: just win it.
Carolina has been tough on the Flyers the last few years. I was wondering if Tocchet puts Ersson in goal tonight and saves Vladar for Tuesday in a possible win or die game vs Montreal?
Vladar is starting.
Flyers are 1-9-7 in their last 17 games against the Canes. No better time to change that.
Why call up Jiricek unless there is an injury? I doubt they throw him in to any of these games. Wouldn’t he be better suited playing in the must win games for the Phantoms instead of watching NHL games from the pressbox?
Juulsen is still a bit banged up. But Andrae stays in the lineup tonight so I’m not totally sure why they called up Jiricek right now. I would think the only way he plays tomorrow –barring an injury to someone else, of course — is if the team clinches tonight. Phantoms are still (somewhat) alive in the AHL playoff chase.
The main issue I have is, who are these quality free agents? The list of UFA’s is pretty bare when it comes to difference making players.
It’s a fair concern. Teams tend to extend these players — especially at C and D — before they ever hit uFA status.
