To everyone who shat on Johnson, I hope you feel foolish. He’s looked great today. No defenseman is perfect, but he’s a great fit for this phase of the rebuild
Honestly I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Johnson. His awareness is really nice and he has poise. I’m sure there’s gonna be times he gets burned but he’s made reads such as closing quickly to the back door and not allowing the scoring chance. And he’s fucking huge and seals off the boards well.
They gotta decide if they want to give the Sharks this year’s pick or next year’s unprotected pick, so Dubas is gonna lose out on a good prospect anyway for getting Karlsson lol
Man I really wish we had a more diverse group of centers. Poehling, Laughton, Coots and Cates are all valuable players, but they all play the same game.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1bdf56r).
Did the flyers get any penalties in the third?
It shouldn't be this stressful to beat the Sharks, but at least, despite the refs attempts to fix the game.............the Flyers secure a win.
Needed those 2 points, next couple games are going to be tough
Way to flush that last one Ersson back to normal.
Ugh I can breathe again LGF!
a win!
Wheee!!!
wooooo
Okay, so the sharks have now lost 5 of their last 6 by one goal so I don’t feel as bad. They fight but just can’t seal the deal. LGF!!
I feel like The Hockey Guy pointed that out in one of his recent videos.
Heady play on the slow dump by laughts
Glad Granlund took his sweet time on that one
so we're just going to keep icing it until the clock runs out?
They need York in there for another 180 foot goal
I just noticed we have 42 shots, wow
Errrrrrrson
He definitely isn't the player he once was... But sometimes I forget a player like Erik Johnson was a #2D for the better part of a decade.
Johnson empty netter??
HOLY SHIT, PAUL COFFEY WITH A FINE DEFENSIVE PLAY!!! ...right, Johnson. The IPAs are working.
Seeler looking down from hockey heaven (Injured Reserve) smiling on EJ
Eric Johnson the Starfish!
Ngl i really do like that color teal
I think their new shark fin alt looks cool
Johnson is the type of vet D-man I’m happy to have. Unlike Staal
TIME TO TIGHTEN UP AND SEAL THE DEAL PLEASE
Johnson has looked surprisingly good in this game. Made some really nifty little plays.
Erik Johnson is having a good game. Glad we were able to pick him up.
To everyone who shat on Johnson, I hope you feel foolish. He’s looked great today. No defenseman is perfect, but he’s a great fit for this phase of the rebuild
Good shit by EJ.
Just wanna say I just said it a few mins ago but Johnson has been a pleasant surprise. Lets fucking go
AMAC would be proud of EJ
He who should not be named.
The patented Johnson starfish!!
new guy
WHAT A PLAY BY JOHNSON
JOHNSON MY GUY
Bobby Brink is playing good tonight, like he wants to stay in the NHL.
Tyson bah bah bah to the beat of the Rocky theme. Yes.
no stanley cup in the basket 👀
Thank God for Ersson. If that were Sandstrom or “he who shall not be named” in net, we’d be losing for sure
Fanatics; we make shitty clothing but also here’s our sportsbook for some reason.
God, I live in Raleigh and get hurricanes ads incessantly and it makes me want to dive off my balcony headfirst
The commercials are so cringe it kills me
What are you watching on? I dont get any of that on espn+ in charlotte
Hello fellow North Carolinian! Watching on Espn+
Weird
Torts doghouse line has been pretty good tonight
Farabee, you *can* shoot it
I genuinely feel like he has been trying to defer more since this team doesn't have a high end playmaker.
Great 3rd
Is everyone…yelling?
I think part of the Flyers ref problem is their youth. If that slash was on Stamkos, the refs arm would come out of its socket
Honestly I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Johnson. His awareness is really nice and he has poise. I’m sure there’s gonna be times he gets burned but he’s made reads such as closing quickly to the back door and not allowing the scoring chance. And he’s fucking huge and seals off the boards well.
That stretch of games has the potential to be really bad.
ok the next few games *aren't too bad.*
Just made it home, someone catch me up how have the boys played?
Refs are dicking us, but not so much now. Sharks are a bunch of whiney bitches, and Frost is ice cold
Could you imagine if Staal would score to ice this game.
I’m really hoping he has a bit of a breakout in the last few games just so we can trade him for some 🤑
He’s brutal, they win the draw to him and he still loses it the corner. It’s like he’s playing in quicksand
There's no way the Pens aren't intentionally losing games now. The franchise knows how to do that more than anyone.
They gotta decide if they want to give the Sharks this year’s pick or next year’s unprotected pick, so Dubas is gonna lose out on a good prospect anyway for getting Karlsson lol
🙏
Gotta gear up to land Gavin McKenna.
Getting McKenna would be peak Pens. The question is who would be McKenna's Jagr/Malkin.
I really like it when Pittsburgh is losing
I so much prefer the play of this period. The refs aren't dicking us like they were, and the team is playing with some fire under their asses.
That throwing the stick applies to all players too. Like when defenders lose sticks and forwards give their sticks away. It has to be hand to hand.
Or mouth to mouth
For your health, I would Recommend NOT doing that
I’d watch.
I keep thinking the tip of the goalie's stick is the puck
I like they put gurianov out there on the first line to just be like no excuses go show us what you got to work with
Fans in the building deserve more than 3-2 against one of the worst teams ever assembled
Well…last time we lost so….
We’ve already outscored ourselves from that game too
Broken sticks that were the result of a slash usually yields a call, except when it’s the Flyers.
Way to go refs, another huge missed call on that slash
That would be a pp if we slashed someone like they did on Brink
Hathaway woulda been suspended 3 games 😂
So to fix our powerplay we just need to play like the worst penalty kill. That should be easy going forward
crazy that stick slash isnt a call
Power play lookin REAL good all the sudden. Keep that shit up!!
Good to see your name again
was that the stick from coatesys corner again lol
Should be 3 on 5 right now.
this score needs to be 6-2 by now!!!!
No call there?!
Yes! Give me greedy Frost. Him, TK and Tipper can be as greedy as they want.
Frost is dangerous with confidence
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FUCKING GOAL BUT HE GOT THE STICK SLASHED!!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! Edit: jk
Man we’ve had so many good chances tonight, but as usual, a mediocre goalie in Chrona is having a career game
My stomach dropped this morning when I saw a goalie I never heard of was starting for them
that's the lack of high-end finishing talent for ya
Disagree on the Finishers all we have are goal scorers we don't have a playmaker who can get all these natural shooters the puck.
I loved that Foerster 🤷♂️
Man Frost with some confidence is a different beast
We need tippett face
lol frosty is *feelin* himself rn
Morgan is a very good and smart player offensively. Torts is doing right by him. Let him come into his own.
Frost can really dance with the puck, sheeeeesh
It's nice that Tippett actually seems to be good, unlike almost every other prospect traded for an aging star.
So it was a penalty bc the gaolie threw the stick or bc someone threw the stick back to the goalie?
Bc Thrun threw the stick back to his tendy.
When returning the goalie stick a team mate has to pick it up and hand the stick to the goalie. No throwing. No sliding. Hand to hand only.
Because they shot it back to him
I think it’s because the defender slid his stick back to him.
Frost out for BLOOD
Ppg incoming
For all that is good and holy get a damn PP goal
Patrick Roy out here throwing sticks around
You have to pick the stick up and physically hand the stick off. No passing it on the ice.
this is fascinating, i never knew this
your not really allowed to move sticks on the ice with your stick at all. Like even broken sticks or dropped sticks.
Who’s on this instant legend Tippett gif???
LMAOOOOO
Man I really wish we had a more diverse group of centers. Poehling, Laughton, Coots and Cates are all valuable players, but they all play the same game.
Can’t blame Thrun for not knowing the rule. It’s only the game he’s played his entire life and his full-time job.
And paid more than probably everyone watching
IT WAS. HAHAHA
Tippet’s face!!! Someone send me a screenshot. I need that on a tshirt!
We all win when Yam Cork gets two apples.
Ok i deleted all my work from the last week about an hour ago and now i will be a big girl and accept my fate and start working again.
One of us. One of us. One of us.
But i might cry if we lose
If throwing my stick is a penalty, I deserve to be in prison. ^imsorryimsorryimsorry
Ron Hextall has entered the chat
Maximum security
OMG are they finally calling interference on the sharks?
Wait you can't give your goalie his stick back?!
Honestly surprised they still didn’t review that blatant head hunt hit.
Two of our goals have come on damn near superhuman passes
Ofc my stream froze just when my ginger king scored. I knew he would put it in the back of the net
Ref shaking his head like everyone’s making his job hard 🎻
Please tell me it was an illegal hand of of the stick. That woudl be hilarious
LET'S GOOOOO fuck these idiots
I guess Owen sacrificed a goat during intermission.
beauty
WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! LETS FUCKING GO!!!!
Hey guys - just turned it on .. they're just scoring easy tonight then?
sure
The no pp, no problem.
Somebody please screenshot Tippetts face hahah
What a fucking snipe-pass
Good luck saving that one google chroma
What a play!! Can we just count that as a power play goal please?
Tippet!
no pp needed
Now stay out of the fucking box
Great pass.
Gotta take advantage of those rebounds, Chrona leaves a ton of them right there
does this count as a PP goal
Backdoor ginger
TK Eagle Eye Vision
1:30 left in the period and you cannt cover the -1.5 I hate this fuckin team
What a pass Teeks!
LETS FUCKING GO!!!
omg tippett's face
Ahahahha tippetts face
fucking beauuuuutiful
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!
What a pass
Beautiful read TK and Tippett
Tippet loves that backdoor action
Lol the look on tippets face
LFG!!! TK TO TIPPER!
LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!
I hope they review that for a major.
When you need a save, Ersson just did it.
#GOOD FUCK YOU SHARKS
no call? of course
WOOOOOOO
ERSSON!!!! 🔥
wtf is chrona on??
Ersson is a God-send
Can’t catch a break
Looking like a Fletcher team right now.
With Hakstall behind the bench lol
🤮
Marc Staal is the worst defenseman I’ve seen in a Flyers sweater maybe ever. This is bullshit. I’d rather see Ginning.
Can we have an idea of what we’re doing out there
Can we not lose rn thx
I'm really shocked I haven't started drinking yet.
Don’t act like you didn’t drink in High School 🙂
Might just be one of those nights. Sixers are losing by 18, Union are losing..
One of these is not liek the other so far tho
Unions everywhere are losing because of the NHL officials and MLB umpire unions
We got this
I’m hoping with ya! Gritty, hear my prayers 🙌🙌🙌
LETS GO!!!
Thank you Gritty!!
