Vladar seems banged up so he may need to sit a game. Hopefully he is able to play on Saturday? Having the home crowd may get Ersson through a tough game 4 vs the pens if Vladar is out. Hopefully things work out and no need for a game 5 in pissburgh.
My gut feeling is that Vladar will start Game Four. Maybe that’s because Ersson never loosened up, got his gear ready, etc. in Game 3 when Vladar was shaken up. I don’t put much stock, one way or the other, to Vladar reporting to the staff on Thursday that he was feeling better. We will see at the morning skate on Saturday.
The Flyers have to be careful when Pissburgh starts to get in to their headhunting mode. Some of the stuff I saw towards the end of the game reminded me of James Neal headhunting Couturier back in the day. The Flyers need to continue to get under their skin and get them losing their cool. But they also need to keep their heads on a swivel because those sniveling asshats in Yellow (its NOT gold) will attempt to injure and take out players if they can. Its been the M.O. of Crosby led teams for 20 years.
Has the potential to get that way, yes.
any truth to the fact TK is playing hurt and he should sit. I dont complain about the refs a lot but they have been horrible. Seems Crosby gets the benefit of the doubt on all calls. First with Drysdale in Game 1 and last night with Risto. Say what you want about TKs hit on Crosby, but so much other stuff has been let go vs Flyers, that play had nothing to do with the game and really was not that bad.
TK is banged up — so are Tippett and others — but they aren’t about to sit. It’s that old “Are you hurt or INJURED?” hockey thing. Players will never admit to it anyway (even if actually injured). Officiating has been pretty mediocre so far. But it’s 2-0 with a chance for 3-0.
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.
