  1. Oh good, Im not even in Quebec but Sportsnet/NHL will be blacking out the game vs Montreal because my internet provider has their head office in Quebec, fantastic, glad I pay $50 a Fkn Month for Sportsnet+ premium to NOT see my Flyers and have the World Series game 7 crash for the whole 8th inning. FFS.

  2. Matvei Andreyevich Michkov needs to be quicker/faster if at all possible. His speed or lack thereof is a concern I'm sure at the flyers organization. Even though they brought him into the organization I have to wonder what the conversations were like when he was being scouted. It's obvious he is slow. Could you imagine what he would be like if he had the speed of Tippett?!? Watching the last two games was very frustrating I'm sure for everyone….. It didn't seem they were getting the bounces and it also seemed like the passes that they were making were to players that were being covered. I was under the impression that Rick Tocchet wasn't a dump in Chase kind of guy. They have a very low percentage rate of recovering the puck once they've dumped it in and they don't seem to be able to control the puck through the neutral zone into the offensive zone. They lose so many battles in the defensive zone and it always seems like the ice is tilted. I still have hope, the season is still very early, I'm praying that these guys get together and start producing some very awesome offense. I think we're good in the goalie department, it's what's happening out front defensively that needs to be worked out.

  3. Seperating Michkov and Zegras has been mind boggling.

    together they have stellar offensive & DEFENSIVE analytics.

    Foerster – Zegras – Michkov… 5 on 5 faceoffs are overrated anyways.

  4. oh no, someone forgot to turn back their clock. Maybe the don't do Daylight Savings in Montreal.

  5. Just gonna put this out there…Players feed off the fans for momentum. I blame the arena for not getting the fans engaged. The only thing they did was jumbotron interaction and intermission interaction. Gritty was there doing his thing but where was the drum to get some chanting going on? Fans tried to start their own chants but lasted two verses. Where was the excitement?! The players needed it.
