@CityHoosier I believe that one was called back under rule 138 clause F. "A goalie may be deemed interfered with if a goal would get in the way of the predominant narrative about a team. Special consideration will be given to narratives of contending teams"
I'm not watching this game (listening on 97.5) but he was excellent to watch the first game. He really took off in the third period, he's gonna be good. Its kind of funny/depressing that he's playing in his first game and it looked like he was too quick for his teammates
haha of course. I post and then the #Flyers take a penalty. You have to figure that Edmonton won't be winless forever, especially after the way they started last year. So I figure they either end up getting curb stomped, or they ride the #Oilers apparently traditional slow start
Well I'll be damned. #Flyers up 2-0 on the #Oilers on the back of two(!!) Matvei Michkov power play goals. Not a bad start for his third game in the NHL. He's been very close but his teammates keep flubbing passes he should have at least 3 more points already.
Pretty cool story about coaches working their way to the ranks of different leagues to the #NHL. Its pretty crazy to think one ECHL team was lead for this long by folks who went on to coach in the big league!
@davidtoddmccarty its become a lot more common over the last decade. Goalies have gotten better so the floor for the position has increased which means that there's a lot more "good enough" goalies. That and supposedly the sports science says to give them more rest between games.
Great shoot out winner from Frost. To bad it won't count for his point totals in a contract year. Flyers win game 1 of 82. Michkov definitely got stronger as the game continued. He looked great in the third period and took a few monster saves to keep of the scoreboard. Lukachenko had a few moments he looked a little indecisive but mostly seemed pretty good for an 18 year old kid making his debut as the youngest #Flyer ever.
Damn thats like the third chance at the net Farabee hasn't been able to convert on tonight. Win or lose he's gonna be sick that he couldn't get at least one of those.... #Flyers#HNOM#Hockey
Very interested to see what the numbers say but Risto has looked pretty good so far in his return for the #Flyers season debut. Actually getting a good season (and boosting his trade value) would be big for the Flyers this year
@timo21 yeah this was my approach last year and I usually try to check each season to see what's changed. So far this still seems to be the cheapest route 🙃
