Contain their top two lines with ours, fight their 4th line with ours and hope the Cates line makes the extra shot. That looks like the plan.
Who saw this coming? Hahahaha! The Cates line badly outplayed FLA’s 3rd line. The orgasms over how well they played from some folks reveal a lack of understanding about actual on-ice matchups. FLA’s 3rd line is a problem for them against deeper teams. Of course, the Cates line delivered, which was obviously needed. The Flyers top 2 lines did not outplay FLA’s top 2 lines. FLA’s top 2 lines are still great. When Barkov and Tkachuk are healthy, FLA has 3 great lines. They still had their top tier D and goaltending. Vladar was great. Game came down to who made the extra shot. It was Marchand. He outplayed Konecny who failed to bury a much better chance. D held up well enough under the circumstances.
Rasmus Andersson, right handed D, pretty good, fits under the cap, end of season UFA. Might be available sooner. We will see. It’s a very safe bet, after the big Frost trade last year, Briere has at least checked in on him.

every team has young players with “upside”
Especially the Rangers. Look at that track record of excellence.
remove the flyers top 4 players ( MM, Tk, Sanheim, ?). what do they have?
Young players with upside and not overpaid, sagging vets like Zibanejad, Miller and Trocheck.
Seeing a lot of the pundits have a three-way battle between the Flyers, Penguins, and Rangers as to who finished at the bottom of the Metro.
Don’t count out the Islanders. The only locks to finish ahead of the Flyers in the Metro I see are WSH, CAR and NJ. The Negadelphians I see here are really overestimating the majority of the league.
Why do you think the Flyers are a better team than the Rangers?
After Shesterkin, who is absolutely better than either Flyer goalie, Fox and Gavrikov on D and Penarin, they have nothing. Literally nothing. They can’t draft. It’s killing them.
ND is not an asset on the ice.
Simmonds was a fine and consistent player with 6 20+ goal seasons. Simon was good for a while but became an absolute league-wide safety hazard over time and things ended tragically for him. Neither are really good comps. A fairer comp: Gadjovich who Florida somehow found a lineup spot for in every conference finals and Cup finals game last year.
I’m not sure where you are going with this? You talked about the Flyers stats last year so i talked about the coach last year.
Sullivan on Torts : I want you to reveal yourself to the players and the other coaches. I want you to show the John Tortorella that I know, that my wife knows, that my kids know, that your kids know, that you don’t show the world very often.
This also just in: 19 guys with the team this year played for the Flyers last year.
He’s a complicated man but no one understands him like his woman. John Shaft? No, John Tortorella. Nice to see Sullivan coaching Torts up. Again, he’s gone and the Rags will finish worse than the Flyers this year.
