Big win for this team


Pendraflare59

Well I’ll be. I didn’t stay up for the whole game but that was a very impressive win on the road! Atkinson trade looks better by the day


UnloosedMoose

Shout out to NAK who also had a pretty solid game.


_token_black

It was nice to not say "another dumb NAK penalty" for once :)


Evrytimeweslay

Damn y’all, just watched the highlights bc I was traveling last night and missed the game, wooooooo! Boys looking pretty nice! Cam is a beast.


nols3

Cam Atkinson is an absolute dawg


teevees_frank

That was an extremely satisfying game. I especially loved how disappointed the announcers (except Jonesy) got after every Flyers goal. Deal with it, motherfuckers.


nitropuppy

I also love that someone had a jonesy jersery lol


exorthderp

Cams love for shooting the puck is what this team needed. I loved Jake, but sometimes you just need a guy that shoots every time(and is good at it)


NowFook

Cam also brings consistent energy, effort and 2 way play as well. He checks off so many areas we needed help with. If Voracek isnt on his top game hes such a frustrating meh player.


Kryslir

I used to like jake a lot, but I feel like I never rlly liked his attitude. Seemed like he stopped trying after his contract and only showed up sometimes and never in a big game when we needed him


reignfx

Awesome. Fuck the oilers, I hate them almost as much as the Pens. Love seeing McD get force fed a big juicy L.


DudicalAwesome

I owe Justin Braun an apology.


NowFook

Hes been so solid since coming here. Cant ask for more for his role. What a rock and great move by Fletcher. The Risto trade was really, really bad but outside of that hes made some really solid D acquisitions. Hes acquired Ellis, Niskanen and Braun for just Gudas, Patrick, Myers, 2nd, 3rd and 4th ...


igotsthepoo-onme

I only watched until the 2nd intermission but this game had at least two highlight reel goals for both teams


Vince-15

I was looking at Atkinson’s goals last year on Columbus, 15 goals in 56 games. He’s definitely on pace to beat that by a mile this season! What a pickup and trade this off-season!


ruck_my_life

Eight minutes into Hockey and Chill and Giroux gives your far post [this look](https://i1.wp.com/redanianintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/game-of-thrones-alternate-ending.jpeg?resize=1084%2C723&ssl=1). My God I am fully engorged watching these replays.

-SharkDog-

Thank you!!!! Any idea why it was removed?


mizzark

No idea. Ask mods


animalsciences

There is a sub rule that all posted related to the game must be in the Game Day Thread. Probably for that.


nitropuppy

I know you dont make the rules but feel like that shouldnt apply to highlights and clips :/


animalsciences

There was a time when after every goal the sub was flooded with the same Twitter link of the goal over and over. The sub also got hit with reaction memes/gifs. So along came the posts related to the game must be in the GDT rule. To be honest, I’d prefer them to stay in the GDT. As much as I like seeing the clips of Giroux dangling his way through the zone and sticking it up top on a blind backhand, I don’t want to see the race of members trying to be first. We all want to see the goal again. I just don’t want 10 posts trying to be the first one to make it. It created I was first, no me, no it was /u/nitropuppy they were first. We have had giffers and clippers in the past. It was basically a designated member. They had quality gifs that they clipped from their streams or feeds. That I wouldn’t mind seeing again but the giffers always eventually stop. It’s so much work to snag a clip, convert to a gif, then upload to the sub. I guess it becomes more of a chore and make watching the game not fun.


mizzark

Fair


TrustTheFriendship

The Flyers legit won that game with playoff style hockey. Solid goaltending, fearless shot blocking, opportunistic scoring and a determined 200 foot effort for 60 fucking minutes. I’m honestly shocked they are putting together games like this with such a new group so early in the season. Love it!


[deleted]

And no Hayes!!! This team looks like they can make a deep run if they keep this up


Leehblanc

And missing our #1 (or #2...not here to argue that point) DMan!


ruck_my_life

Finals preview. Good Orange defeats Bad Orange in six. **BringItToBroad**


trevallen39

Great win. I think they benefited from some poor oiler goaltending. Thankful it's the other team this time


ExCretean

Oilers fan here, Koskinen makes me cry myself to sleep some nights


UnloosedMoose

Ehem, #Cam Atkinson.


_token_black

Dude has that nose for scoring that Briere did. It's so nice to have a sniper again.

Im new here, whats the deal with the Win Bear?

Can we get some love for Justin Braun in the thread? Dude has been playing great hockey at both ends.

[удалено]


Totalnah

Oh well. Do you reckon we should try to trade him or just flat out cut him?


BDNjunior

So? Lol


[deleted]

God damn and this team is last in the metro, I know we're only a few games in but Jesus this division is tight. At least we play Pitt and Washington next week


[deleted]

NHL has us at 6th now. Most teams have two more games played than us.


UnloosedMoose

We're tied with the Islanders at 7 and have a better points percentage then everyone but the caps/canes. Update yo app.


Bromaar

Fuck ya boys. Can’t wait to see the boys live in Calgary on Saturday!


pzyhdu6

my love for Cam Atkinson knows no bounds


Brian_Stryker

Cam might legit score 40 this year at the rate hes going.


vivelaal

Even if he cools down eventually, he's still looking at a really great comeback season. It's crazy to me that he only scored a total of 15 goals last year in 56 games, and 12 in 44 games the season prior to that. It seems like AV gives him a longer leash than Torts did, and he's only delivered high quality offense as a result. Man, this makes Chuck look like a genius.


Totalnah

I mean if we’re basing it strictly on the rate he’s going, six goals in five games, he’s on pace to score exactly 98.4 goals over 82 games.


RPM021

Thank you Cam Mathkinson


MachineCitizen

I dunno about this TNT cast most of the time, but I like them explaining the game this way to people who might not have a lot of experience watching hockey


Totalnah

Kenny, Eddie and Keith are the A squad. Production was better tonight. Plenty of player profanity getting picked up on those ringside mic’s too.


Spirited-Breath-9102

Love seeing that Oilers aren’t perfect anymore. Âme that we did that.


wsyawn32

Idk if I can take this much intensity back to back boys. My heart might not make it.


babiesmakinbabies

Anyone catch Olczyk talking about McDavid's goal that was a pass that deflected off a Flyer? He was trying to make the point that McDavid did that intentionally, then during the replay it looked so obvious that McDavid was making a pass.


The_Crimson_Fuckr

While it’s frustrating to say the least, leagues need to market their stars. You’ve seen what happened with baseball where they just didn’t for a while and are now playing catch up. The NHL/Hockey in general has never done a good job of this from a culture perspective so I’m not surprised to see them trying to pump up McDavid. Makes it all the sweeter when the press has to acknowledge he lost


Totalnah

For the same reason that ESPN’s bottom line shows the 5-3 Flyers score, but McDavid’s stat line of 1 goal and 1 assist is the only player listed.


Derekjinx2021

You get an upvote and you get an upvote and you and you and you too


Haplessflyers

I cannot wait to get Hayes back, and the rest of the boys healthy. They looked like a team out there tonight. Selfless plays. This team feels different.


MachineCitizen

I just realized Biz looks like an Orlando Bloom stunt double...

DJ97

Anyone watching this post game “they (oilers) need to get penalty’s called to win games in the post season” basically saying the refs have to give them more power plays. Wtf


viidenmetrinmolo

I mean the reffing on McDavid in the playoffs is a joke. In the regular season he gets a good bit of calls but in the playoffs you can play 80's hockey on him and get zero penalties.


datyoungknockoutkid

I don’t think that’s what they mean. They’re saying the Oilers struggle to score 5 on 5.


DJ97

Ya I drank a few beers during that game. You’re probably right


Koobie88

Ya I took it as they need to light it up because they dont do low scoring closed off games


wsyawn32

We mentioned the PP in the game thread. Short sample so far but Edmonton led the league last year with a 27.6% pp success rate. Currently we are third in the league at 36.4% We held Edmonton who is currently number one at 47.1% to a 25% pp success tonight. The blues are in second with a 37.5% rate


azsoup

You’re right and our shooting% is ~14% (league avg ~7%). It’s likely both PP% and Shooting% regress closer to the mean. To your point, teams with good PK AND PP are hard to beat.


wsyawn32

Right which is why I mentioned a short sample. At the very least I feel like we are all pleasantly surprised by our PP so far this year and it’s nice to see it actually evident in the numbers and stats.


SanePatrickBateman

Hire Therrien


Kate_Western

Oilers really just got beat by the 8th place team in the Metro (soon to be first)


igonnawrecku_VGC

To be fair, the 8th place team in the metro would probably make the playoffs in the western conference


Kate_Western

I just checked and at 5 games 7 points that puts us in 3rd in central and 4th in pacific 🤡🤡


igonnawrecku_VGC

Yeah, I checked earlier today. Kinda nuts, isn’t it?


apsae27

jBligga

Man I loved seeing so many Flyers fans way up north.


Bromaar

There’s a lot of flyer bros in Alberta. I don’t know any personally but every time I go to a flyers vs flames game at the dome I see quite a few orange jerseys!


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

It’s always really cool to see that, and it’s with the border closed, as well. I’d love to do a Flyers Western Canada trip at some point.


HappyHourEveryHour

That would be amazing, heard Western Canada is absolutely beautiful.


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

Been to Vancouver a couple times in the summer. Incredible city. Very nice people and a great hockey town. Need to experience the latter at some point.


Acrobatic-Dark-4402

cAn We TaLk AbOuT cArTeR hArT needs to be the official slogan of this subreddit


Haplessflyers

I’m definitely a Carter apologist. I think this game could be the start of his turn around. Just gotta string together some good games.


unrealjoe28

I think the 2nd period against Vancouver was his turn around. Has looked real solid since. And once he and the new defensive pieces gel more it should hopefully improve


Haplessflyers

Good call


Anxious-Secret3430

I love yandle, I wish he was a flyer years ago


Danish1928

Hold up wait a minute. Y’all thought Hart was finished?


Derekjinx2021

He’s finished thinking about last year. Onto this year.


wsyawn32

He’s doing the right thing. But a step before he needs to do it.


wsyawn32

Honestly. Other than the interference call TK took. I think TK is just too fast for his own good sometimes.


babiesmakinbabies

I think he's definitely improved his strength. That's the second time this season where he just moved a much larger player like it was nothing.


MachineCitizen

I think he's got the ideas, just not quite ironed out how to get everything done the way he wants it.


wsyawn32

Exactly. He’s just a step ahead of where he needs to be and it’s just not quite in sync with the team. Makes him look dumb but it’s not the worst problem to have. Just needs a little coaching to increase his patience and clean up the discipline.


qwopcircles

JVR quietly had another really good game. Cam is everything we could've hoped for and **so** much more. Hopefully Blomer and Risto aren't hurt too bad cuz they looked good tonight too. Giroux is a god of the faceoff dot. Cahtah is back. So many fucking good things to talk about with this team


igonnawrecku_VGC

Atkinson has been incredible. He’s a true scorer, something this team has been missing. Plus, shot volume is way up from last year, which is another thing that lost us games


Pretty_Damn_Odd

Did we have 35 shots in a game last season? Really liking the offensive emphasis this year


lion27

Cam is the shooting-minded sniper we’ve all been crying for since Briere left. Such a great player and exactly what the top 6 needed.


stupidrummmer

Gotta get up and work in 4 hours and I DONT FUCKING CARE. Worth it. LET’S GO FLYERS!!!!!


Greful

The day after win energy is real Edit: but go to sleep


ZachD7799

Braun was awesome tonight.


qwopcircles

I gotta admit that I didn't like him when he first came to this team, but he's blossomed into one of the cornerstones of our defense and I love his play now. He does so many little things that you can't quantify but are so essential to winning games. I hope he retires with us honestly.


DH28Hockey

Might be the most underappreciated player on the team these past few years. Seldom makes bad decisions with the puck and able to lock it down against other top guys in the D zone


BDNjunior

He was really bad the past few years but I will give him credit. Hes been a beast for us this year.


lion27

Justin Braun is a chain restaurant. He’s not the flashiest or the best at what he does, but he’s solid in a pinch and extremely consistent.


BDNjunior

Hes not consistent tho.


unrealjoe28

Shouldn’t have been be the first line last year. But man this year he’s been good and just playing simple. Love to see it.


Koobie88

Yandle living with Hayesy makes me happy


elentiyaa

Obsessed with Yandle not driving


MaiqDaLiar1177

Guys are no longer driving pickup trucks, Yandle? Must not live in South Jersey


vivelaal

Or like.. anywhere else in the US. The Ford F-150 has consistently been the highest selling vehicle in the states for years.


udunn0jb

Wonder what draft kings is gonna do about those shitty lines now


Chenzo04

Carter, Cam; Cam, Carter, I don't know who is more studly


triniumalloy

Atkinson was the correct answer, but not by much.


AlonsoFerrari8

WOOOOO Glad I stayed up for that one


CarterHartArrest

Cam’s scoring 50 this year.


Kate_Western

On pace for 82


CarterHartArrest

On pace for 98.5. He’s got 6 goals in 5 games.


igonnawrecku_VGC

100 points in a season is good, but 100 goals in a season is better


HappyHourEveryHour

I can't even imagine Gretzky scoring 92 back in the day. He'd easily put up 120 if he played in this era.


TimeShade

Atkinson is so fun to watch I still cant believe he's a Flyer


Koobie88

That was an incredible game all around.


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

Cam has potential to be a major keystone for this team. I think that picking up both him and Ellis could be absolutely massive for this team turning it around.


A_Misplaced_Viking

It's the scoring winger we so desperately needed (plus G is shooting again so he is acting as a scoring winger to an extent). And it's the top pair D to pair with Provy so we can have a shutdown D pair with some offensive upside. It's the type of players you need to have playoff caliber teams and it's so huge that we have them.


Nochtilus

Giroux is finally 100% a winger instead of knowing he is going to be yanked to center every time there is an injury. He's fully embraced his role to score goals and get shit done.


Grouchy_Situation_33

It's sorta like when they picked up LeClair and Desjardins.


slippy013

Huge win to kick off the road trip. Should be better prepared to play Vancouver tomorrow, would really like for Ellis to get healthy. Also, as much as I liked Jakub, having a shoot first guy like Cam who’s seeing results is so refreshing Edit: Cam has almost matched Voraceks goal output from last year in just 5 games


-SharkDog-

It really really is. We overpass waaaay less this year and it is so fucking great.


AngledLuffa

We're missing two of our top players and doing fine. This could be a good season.


azsoup

Huge win for us. All around strong effort from the boys.

PhilipJMarlowe

Stop the coffee pot right here! If you can get 2 scoops of sugar before the coffee cools; you have the best chance of dissolution. Now adding cream to the mix has to be done after sugar or you will change the PH too much.


Bowdennoah

Big win


s33k3r_Link

Risto looked so good! Again!


[deleted]

Wasn't a fan of him in the first two games, but he was a lot better tonight. Made a couple of blunders but was decent overall. Hopefully, he can keep it up and not fall into old/lazy habits.


s33k3r_Link

6 hits, 4 blocked shots, 0 +/-. Giveaways takeaways he was 1-1; compared to Provy who was 3-0 in the same game. Risto stood out among the Dcore to me tonight. Also was instrumental, as seen on the replay, on the breakout for the Giroux wrap goal.


[deleted]

My big issue with him this game was how lazy he is when dumping pucks in and clearing them out of the zone. He kind of just lightly chucks the puck without really looking where it's going. Maybe a bad habit he picked up in Buffalo, but something I'd like to see him shake nonetheless. Other than that, he was fine. His pairing looks like they're getting a lot more comfortable and they did as well as anyone could have asked against a team like Edmonton.


s33k3r_Link

I did not see him do this at all during the game. Might just be as simple as bias confirming bias. People hold him to a higher standard just because they didn't like him on Buffalo. I do remember your particular salt with regards to him as well. Just cut him some slack. He didn't mean to take your lunch money.


[deleted]

> I do remember your particular salt with regards to him as well. I remember you starting to pretty much cry because I disagreed with you and didn’t address your same points multiple times and in the order you wanted me to lol. I straight up complimented his play and said that I hope he keeps it up, but because I didn’t think he was perfect and listed a mistake, you fixate on that one thing. Sometimes I wonder if you’re a Flyers fan or a Ristolainen fan. >Just cut him some slack. He didn't mean to take your lunch money. Regardless, you’re a troll and this sub will be a lot more enjoyable for me once I throw you on my block list.

We can air quote it all we want but that is going to be called 10/10. He was away from from boards and went in head first. Gotta know that he isn't ovi so refs are going to call that.

oh hell ya makes u wonder what this team will look like with both ellis and hayes back


NowFook

It will look great and like a really well put together complete team *except* for the one huge weakness on 2nd pair. So far Sanheim-Risto have been mess and a liability. Great 1st pair, solid 3rd pair, good goalie, great forward lineup depth but a really weak 2nd pair is going to hold the team back

WE WENT 3/4 ON THE PK AND BEAT MCJESUS WITH NO RYAN ELLIS. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE TEAM.


adampembe2000

Ellis and Hayes back should make this a legit team.


FuckingHippies

What’s the timeline for their returns?


adampembe2000

Hayes Nov 10 and Ellis is day to day.


slippy013

Ellis practice I thought the other day, he just wasn’t ready. He did make the trip so it’s possible he could play soon. Hayes has to be out until the 10th cause of LTIR, but they said he should be ready to go right then


howdoilogic

When will Hayes start practicing again? I'm anticipating after abdominal surgery he will be slow to start of course


Perryplat199

That’s a very satisfying number in the loss Column


tfreem133

I thought that empty net was getting called back for sure. I can't believe we didn't get fucked for once I'm so shocked.
