Prime Minister Koivu Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 Evans line is playing great again, including Anderson. 43 minutes ago, dlbalr said: I think for those looking for Third Man In, that's called on a fight and since there wasn't a fight called, that penalty didn't apply. Still, a minor to Seeler to even it up would have made sense. Dropped gloves by all three players. The unsportsmanlike to Xhekaj was a ludicrous call itself because he did absolutely nothing. If you penalize Xhekaj for his role then how do the two Flyers get nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 Xhekaj instigated it and was getting original penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Xhekaj was the 'initiator' on the play (instigator would be too strong considering not much happened). Couturier had no interest in fighting; even as he was dropping the gloves he was putting his one arm up to the ref like 'do I actually have to do this?'. A player can drop the gloves, do nothing, and not get called for anything. That happens quite a bit, actually. So I understand him getting nothing for that. Xhekaj (who did chase Couturier down a bit and it could be argued cornered him), I'm okay with an unsportsmanlike there. But the one official pointed at Seeler when he got involved so I figured there'd be an even-up to make it four-on-four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring Couturier, you have to call Seeler for something in there. it was very clear the league has it out for Xhekaj. There wasn’t a more respectful way he could have handled that situation.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 St. Louis seems to change D pairings constantly. It’s almost like the defensive version of “rolling 4 lines”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mailloux is showing that he has the skill to play at this level but his defensive game isn't good enough yet. (And that's fine at this stage of his development.) Now he's had a taste and knows the importance of working on his in-zone coverage in Laval so it makes sense to send him down as he has the most to work on. Also, if Barron isn't ready by the time Guhle is, they don't necessarily have to send any blueliner down. They'll have to send Condotta back to open up the roster spot for Guhle (who was moved to IR today) but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterface Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 Michkov was playing just okay. Had the puck knocked off his stick a lot. I’d like to play the Flyers all 82 games of the season. They are not good. Caufield should have had more….. 2-3 goals. Hutson sets up his teammates and they can’t bury them. I can’t believe how many assists he has lost out on. It’s sad. We are back in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first time I had seen him play, so I was looking for the "wow" and I didn't see it. A good rookie but that's it, and the xGF/60 data bears that out, he's not at a completely different level from Kapanen or Heineman. Will he be a superstar? Maybe, but I'm not seeing it yet. He doesn't look like a Bedard out there, and that's in spite of playing on the Flyers' top line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 We looked pretty good up until the last 4min or so. Glad Caufield got one to stay hot, but he could have had 4 tonight with a little bit more luck. I agree with the sentiment that Hutson should have far more assists this season, but has teammates who can't finish his beautiful set-ups.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 No question the Habs are a far more dangerous team with Hutson on the ice. As mentioned previously, Caulfield had so many chances that he normally wouldn't miss, should have had at least 3 goals. Suzuki looks far more engaged, the top line generated a lot of chances.
