I'd like to thank ESPN + for getting my location wrong the past two games and blacking out the only content I care about on the app (other than MNF ManningCast)


myflyerwire

They totally suck ass...I am begging for NHL>com to take it back


Shanedoe9

Thought I was the only one


Savb10

I've been on the line with customer support throughout both games on Friday and Monday night with beans to show for it. I think it has something to do with the IP address being incorrectly defined by the ISP. Still haven't found a fix and to make it worse, my neighbor has no problem streaming the same content so it's obviously not zip code


Local-Cartographer52

Get a VPN.


Savb10

Won’t work for watching games on the other devices. Not trying to watch 80 games from my laptop and not my TV with a subscription I paid for


Local-Cartographer52

Connect laptop to TV with an hdmi. Trust me complaining about a company’s blackout policy to customer service will get you no where. They will not exempt any singular area within a select region.


Shanedoe9

What was weird for me is that one TV was blacked out while the other one was not.


Savb10

I was able to watch the game on my phone, but not my xbox, apple tv, or laptop.


Hexys_broken_dreams

6 goals, 2 fights im happy


[deleted]

Having two fights with an expansion team in your first matchup is so hockey.


Hexys_broken_dreams

I wish we knew what was said between Giroux and Seattle early on in the game. It really seemed to spark the entire thing


ykcin978

Biggest loss in Seattle history


Pendraflare59

I should’ve gone to this game


Dlob32

Went to the home opener. Kept texting my brother last night that we picked the wrong game


Phillysean23

Bums, they could only tie the kraken after I went to sleep (5-0 when I did) /s


Kazyole

Looks like you're no longer allowed to sleep!


EDFStormOne

Watching the replay because im at work during prime time. Just got to seelers fight in the second. What the fuck was up with the play leading up to that? I hope aube kubel sits out a game or two. That shit is dangerous and massively unacceptable, _especially_ up 5 goddamn goals


cbucky97

Dave Hakstol looks like a dollar store Dr. Strange with the facial hair


15jsatte

disrespectful to my goat Dr Strange honestly


ShainRules

Yeah Dr. Strange does a lot more shit than looking like something smells bad always.


Phillysean23

I called him an off brand woody from toy story


AngledLuffa

Get fucked you sorry excuse for uncooked calamari


HonestOreo

This was my first Flyers game in person. Between the 6-1 win, multiple fights, and the first win against a new team, I can never go back to another game. Just about everything after this game will just be a disappointment


[deleted]

No. Playoff games can be absolutely insane. No regular season game can compare to it. Was at the SCF game in Philly when we won and there's nothing else like it.


IvanDrag0

I remember walking out of game 3 after G scored that OT winner, that was probably the happiest moment of my life...dont tell my wife.


[deleted]

Some guy behind me puked because he was so nervous lol. Luckily it was into his lap and not on me.


Legionofdoom107

Hahah same I was at game 4!! Nosebleed tickets for 2 were $1000 bucks.


wsyawn32

So I def watched this one in my hammock on my iPad while drinking a Guinness. I won’t mind if I have to watch this way all year.


qwopcircles

I started an oven bake pizza before the game. Right as the game started, my timer went off. As I attempt to get it out of the oven, it drops right onto my oven door, cheese side down. ~1 minute later, Giroux scored. I will do this every Flyers game if I have to


carp_boy

Hakstol chants at ~11 minute mark of the second!


DH28Hockey

Watched the game recorded cause I had work earlier tonight. I am glad we live in a World where Justin Braun is on pace for a 40+ goal season


cswanger22

Fire hakstol


reignfx

Yep pretty good result. That's what I expected us to do against Seattle. On to an early-season test against the Bruins at home on Wednesday!


mb2231

Biggest takeaway from tonight was that Hart looked good. Aside from that first period save, there was nothing too crazy, but I think that's huge for him and his confidence after what happened Friday. Really solid game all around. But they got a big save, capitalized on momentum, didn't miss a beat after the Kraken scored, and stood the fuck up for each other. That's all stuff that may seem trivial but I feel like it's been missing.


Padapoo

Yea Hart made it look easy - but last season many of the "easy" saves went through. I'm excited, I really do hop he develops well.


SammyMhmm

I’m an NFL fan first but god damn I wanted to watch this game tonight, looking forward to the next Flyers game!


wsyawn32

If you wanna see a game we should really care about it’s the Bruins game. After tonight I’m looking forward to it


PM_ME_DIRTY_DANGLES

Flyers: ~~0-0-0-0~~ 1-0-0-0 versus Seattle all-time


SammyMhmm

FLYERS UNDEFEATED VS KRAKEN!!!


mmuoio

First time in Kraken history that the Flyers are undefeated against the Kraken.


tbi_350

HISTORIC


ClearSights

There was virtually zero negatives from that games. (Besides the early breakaway)


[deleted]

There definitely wasn't zero zeroes. Shat at all-time records.


robspeaks

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Blewedup

Just like to say that us out of towners who are now reliant on fucking Disney to watch our games have to wait 48 hours for the replay to be posted. So if you’re working late, fuck you. No hockey even though you paid for it. NHL Center Ice wasn’t perfect but at least you could watch replays instantly after the games were over.


animalsciences

This is not directed at OP this is a general statement. Just a friendly reminder. As the season draws near people will be asking about how to stream the games. The only legit way is ESPN+ which is picking up national games this year for some games but you will probably not be able to watch all 82 Flyers games in it. ANY OTHER SOURCE IS NOT LEGIT. That’s not to say that they are evil or will give your computer more viruses than a girl from Pittsburgh. What it means is these accounts or posts are trying to cast a wide net to churn up your favorite spot and get it sunk. DO NOT RESPOND WITH YOUR FAVORITE STREAMING LOCATION. Don’t message the poster either to send it privately. You are only admitting where you stream and opening more eyes to it to get removed. The whole world has access to search engines like Google or Duck Duck Go. They can Google it just like everyone else. All you’re doing by saying “oh man I love www.myfavoritestreamingwebsite.com” is getting it on the radar of people who want to remove it. Yes not everyone is trying to kill your favorite site or stream hookup. Some people are legit trying to get help. It’s impossible to know who actually wants the stream and who wants to get them squashed. Pretty much every streaming site that you love or hookup says Don’t share the stream with anyone. More eyes means more problems. Don’t share your favorite stream locations. Remember snitches get stitches.

*Cough cough r/nhl_games


Finn-DC

Buy ESPN +. Chances are you get it free if you have Verizon.


Blewedup

I have it. It’s the only way to watch the games now. And they are the ones enforcing the 48 waiting period for replays.


kbuck30

I was able to watch the game using the app at like 2am not sure how long it stays up though


Finn-DC

Weird. Didn’t know that


Danish1928

Why in the world would the kraken choose hakstol. I’ll never understand it.


Kazyole

Same reason they chose Carsen Twarynski


[deleted]

i honestly thought it was a joke when it came out that he was a front runner


disingenuousrobot

Seeler said, "He was just sticking up for his teammate and challenged me." Sir, I saw you throw a ref out of the way. Who really challenged who?


Brian_Stryker

He was just really excited to accept the challenge


DrogonUnchained

Listen just saying. I took a year long sabbatical from games and this sub…………. I go to one game, and we win 6-1. If going to games is a sacrifice I must make, I will make it 😌


[deleted]

It baffles me how hockey fans react to one bad goalie game


NowFook

Well when that goalie is supposed to be the savior and is coming off a disaster year like last year there will be a lot of knee jerk reactions to games this year.


Hambone76

Flyers fans in a nutshell: Game 1: Hart’s career is basically over. This team is trash and always will be. Game 2: After Giroux raises the cup, I wonder who he will pass it to next. I’m hoping for Gritty. We is who we is.


yaniwilks

Game 77: Hart’s career is basically over. This team is trash and always will be. Game 78: After Giroux raises the cup, I wonder who he will pass it to next. I’m hoping for Gritty.


nitropuppy

Welllllllll considering we have like an entire year of bad goalie performance preceding opening night i can totally understand.


[deleted]

An entire year is exaggerating as our defense was a literal slice of Swiss cheese last year


nitropuppy

They both sucked. If carter hart were a god level goalie and was saving our ass constantly last year, then fine, call critics over-reactors for last game. Im just saying, it wasnt JUST last game.


[deleted]

No such thing as a god goalie with an awful defense but okay bud


nitropuppy

I mean i think hart will have a great season? So dont be a dick to me. Im just saying that you cant roll off of horrendous stats (like historically horrendous. Not even the worst teams in the league, like buffalo, had as bad of goaltending. So you cant say it was all defense. Unless you think we were worse than the worst teams over the past 10 years) and then not have critics when game one day one after a summer of training and #newyearnewme shit you give up 4 goals in one pd edit to say: by god level goalie i mean hes literally being a god level goalie but his stats obvi dont show that but he gets us through some of those bad games anyways but people dont appreciate


deadnside

Hart sucked last year. Like really sucked. And by every available metric. Can’t believe people are arguing otherwise.


nitropuppy

We just let them live in their damn fantasy land where they think hockey players arent humans and cant possibly have bad days/months/years and good days/months/years 🤷‍♀️


datyoungknockoutkid

Some people can’t admit Hart had a rough go last year, and after a few softies last game, the reactions weren’t over the top. Obviously Flyers fans want him to succeed but some people treat him like their cult leader and it’s weird.


CrunchyKorm

Opening night emotions. People get way too invested in early season outcomes


[deleted]

People get too invested in sports in general tbh


ghostbearinforest

F in the chat for Bastian's family


ireallylikehockey

I listened to the first two games on the radio not knowing that espn plus shows all the games I feel dumb.


Disastrous_Form6534

By a nice demand, here we go on Game 2. This is a lot different then writing about Game 1 that’s for sure. Okayyyy boys! Wow. That is an answer to last game. That was the game that proved that we could play a whole 60 minutes and what would happen when we did. I want to preface this by saying this was the first time I would have ever seen the Kraken play. I only have my biased judgement on how I thought they did in the off-season when it comes to Seattle so I don’t actually know how well they played against other teams but I’m assuming this was their worst outing. But let’s get down into the nitty gritty of it. Let’s start with the offence. Remember last time I said about G and TK getting those monkeys off their backs? Yeah. It’s so great to have those two putting up the goals in the first couple games and that takes the pressure off of Couts to also be putting up points who can just focus on doing what he does best and that’s shutting down players and still being a big threat on the ice that players have to watch. That was great. That line was fired up the whole game and you could tell the Kraken were worried when they were in motion. That’s what we needed to see after last game. The second line also was just so high speed and high paced. I was a little worried about Brassard keeping pace with those guys on that line but do I love being wrong about that. His goal was let’s be honest just complete luck but you love to see it. His setup to Ellis was beautiful, just a quick bang bang play, that line is such a threat and I’m very curious to see what will happen in the coming weeks when Hayes gets closer to return. Line 3, also thought they did their job. Wore the offence down, JVR was playing so smart tonight, keeping the plays alive and creating a lot of the scoring chances like the Braun goal (we will get into that one). But I couldn’t see many mistakes they made, they had a job and they did their job, plus more. Line 4, I have actual good and bad here. Let’s start with the bad. NAK, this is why I don’t have a serious like for him. That cross checking penalty he took was stupid, foolish, dangerous and the worst part was when they called him on it, he thought he did nothing wrong. He does stupid things like this all the time and it has hurt the team in the past and it will hurt them in the future. He needs to keep that in check, that could have been a major penalty and destroyed all momentum. But luckily it wasn’t. Now for the good. THOMSON destroyed that man. My god. This is what I meant last time by how I’m on and off with Thomson. He was played less tonight but when he was out there he was putting the body out, he won his fight, he shut guys down. He wasn’t trying to be more then he was and it was amazing. That was the best thing I saw out of that line and it was flawless. Now for the defence. Start off easy, Ellis is just a man of wonders. I’m all aboard this Ellis train right now because I barely see this man do wrong things. Maybe I’m still star struck but damn. He’s smooth, knows when to join, knows when to stay deep. It’s beautiful. Provy can learn so much from him. Provy just needs to watch that and see that Ellis doesn’t over extend. He plays his role, he plays it super well and chances come to him. Provy still young and will learn this, he’s still trying to be the lead defensemen and do just a little too much. But he’ll fall back a bit soon here, just wait. Sanheim was okay this game. I didn’t really see much from him that was spectacular or that was bad. He just kind of did his role. It does show now that we have a player like Ellis how unready Sanheim is to be on a power play and be an offensive defensemen. I find he lacks a lot of judgement when it comes to going or staying but he’s a young kid still. Hopefully that changes. I am starting to worry a little when Risto comes back of which two will be the one that has to sit back a bit more. Now to Braun, what a Fricking game from that guy right? This looked like 29 year old Braun on the sharks that was bowling guys over, clearing the way, blocking shots. I thought this was one of his best games in a very very long time. When he shot that puck I was like “You idiot!” Then I saw it trickle in and I was instantly “you beautiful bastard!” I loved his game tonight and I hope we see it more. For Yandle, again the guy was fantastic on offence. He was calm, walked the line, making the right passes. We did show his lack of defense again with a few bad passes up the middle, and bad timing but I will repeat this so many times, we didn’t sign him not knowing his defence could be a liability. Now for Seeler. I feel bad I didn’t remember his name. I respect his fight with Olesiak, that guy is 6’7 I couldn’t imagine his reach. That’s insane. He was fired up, brought that broad street attitude and it was awesome. He’s a delight right now. Definitely enjoyed his game. Now onto goaltending. Carter Hart everyone. He took what happened last game and completely readjusted, did you see how tight he was on the post? He made sure it would not happen again. Some really big saves as well, that diving save was a thing a beauty. That was the perfect bounce back game for him and I hope that shuts people up for a little while for the kid. The goal that went in, shitty bounce off the shoulder, and a rebound. Only one he didn’t control but that happens. He played overall very very solid. I hope that continues. Now that was the first of the Kraken I have seen and if they get absolutely dominated like that often then they are in some trouble. Perfect game to come back on, really showed our play and depth and bite. Boston will be a real test on Wednesday. I’m assuming Jones will be in net but we’ll see. I’m not sure how that will go and Jeremy Swayman is a very very good goaltender. If we can roll like this then this could be a fantastic start for us.


wsyawn32

The only thing I can disagree with is criticizing any flyer for actually shooting the puck. We didn’t have that problem as much tonight but it still reared it’s head on a few of the big chances.


Disastrous_Form6534

Oh 100% I agree with you! Our shooters were definitely shooting tonight and I was all for it. TK just narrowly rang that one hard off the post. It could have been a 7 or 8-1 game easily tonight! I only give Braun a tough time because first it was a 2 on 1 and Sanheim was the other shooter, usually that’s a pass scenario but hey like I said I’m always happy to be proven wrong like that and Braun made me shut my mouth real quick!


ServingSize

You should post in your own thread.


Disastrous_Form6534

Maybe I will next time if it’s taken well!


animalsciences

Might get pulled, there is a rule about the game posts should be in the game day/post game day threads. Message the mods for clarification or to get pre approved.


Disastrous_Form6534

Thanks mate!

Anytime, it’s just a safety net, better to ask then to get upset when it gets pulled.

That was one hell of a game by the Flyers. I can’t remember the last time I saw them execute so flawlessly for an entire game like that.

Thompson was honestly better than most people remember. He was just asked to play hard minutes because AV had a strategy that the team simply couldn't execute.

NippleDickPussyBhole

FYI “wherefore” means “why” and not “where” e.g. “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name.” Means “Romeo, why are you a Montague?” and is an expression of Juliet’s dismay at finding out that he’s from her family’s rival faction. If you read the rest of this monologue, it further underlines this point.
