i understand, but come on phoenix... by xXSJADOoin hockey

[–]Splo 7 points8 points ago

It happens, cut them some slack. Boston did it too (trash throwing) after the 3-0 collapse, it's a really tough loss. It's stupid to put down a fan base after a rough loss like that.

Hextall got suspended twice for his actions during the playoffs (Slashing Nielsson and mugging Chelios) but wasn't suspended until after they were eliminated. Though in the Chelios incident they were eliminated that game.

Latvia's Kaspars Saulietis gets Kronwalled by Very_kafkaesquein hockey

[–]Splo 7 points8 points ago

That's the art of Kronwall though. His strides show the winger he's backing off but instead he turns right in the winger breakig out. The video is a great example, one of the replays show how well Kronwall disguises his intention at ice level.

John Tortorella - Rangers aren't Tired. They're ready to play. by SirAdrianDangerousin hockey

I'm fairly certain casual fans don't watch press conferences, hell most people don't bother unless it's something super juicy.

I just put it up, enjoy it while it lasts you filthy animals.

Chatting with Ilya Bryzgalov about Year 1 with Philadelphia Flyers: ‘People only see the bad in me’ | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports by mellowstupidin hockey

[–]Splo -3 points-2 points ago

The Pittsburgh media shits all over Flower when he struggles. They were calling to start Brent Johnson over him early in the season. We don't have exclusive rights for being awful (see also Toronto and Montreal)

Shotblocking trend draws fire by gthankin hockey

The Flyers felt this pain. Chara broke JVRs foot and stung Timonen hard in one shift from slapshots.

devils fan here. anyone else caught off guard by this? by nickgenovain Flyers

[–]Splo 0 points1 point ago

It's not the playoffs really. He was in the bottom 10% for sv and gaa in the league up until March when he went on a tear. He's been a bit more consistent since then for sure but really I think we all probably had unrealistic expectations. Especially considering how weak our team defense was all year.

We got Boosh and Bob to .920 sv% the previous year, it clearly wasn't all on Bryz.

Mike Richards has chance to take shot at Flyers, does not - Broad Street Hockey by RedWire89in Flyers

[–]Splo 4 points5 points ago

I don't really see this as surprising. Richie loved playing in Philly, even if the media always shat all over him year after year. He's a great guy and deserves way more credit than he's often afforded.

Should we extend the banner bet over to who wins between Washington and New York? by Stiffstickin devils

[–]Splo 3 points4 points ago

Just a correction (I'm the /r/flyers mod who made the bet), in both cases I initiated the bet, no need to worry about any unlucky stuff.

devizkit, can you just leave /r/flyers alone by Zam0070in Flyers

[–]Splo[M] 29 points30 points ago

I banned him, he was spamming that image on every hockey related subreddit. I don't want to ban people but I have no interest in babysitting spammers.

Thank you r/hockey. by drewukein hockey

FUCK THAT! GO KINGS!

Philadelphia Flyers by LilCrittlesin Flyers

[–]Splo 2 points3 points ago*

The bright side is, we have a team full of kids and we got this far. Give this team a couple years to learn how to play team defense and we'll continue to be a contender. We ran into a wall of experienced and motivated players backed by one of the top goaltenders in history. Even if Marty is aging and fat, he's still a fantastic goalie.

Thanks r/flyers by Rustytirein Flyers

[–]Splo[M] 5 points6 points ago

Just to butt in here a bit, this subreddit has absolutely exploded over the course of this season. I think it was somewhere around 1,300 at the start of the season and now we're the 4th largest hockey subreddit behind Vancouver, Toronto and Detroit at 2,200+ subs. I'm happy people have found this place enjoyable to post and participate.

I do have one season ending warning, we will be displaying the banner of /r/Devils choosing soon. Be ready for that.

Who is the best d-man from the 2008 draft: Doughty, Pietrangelo, or Karlsson? by royaelliottin hockey

[–]Splo 15 points16 points ago

Orr also played in a different era. Karlsson's production is really impressive.

So they call phantom slashes and weak hooks but when they're clutching and grabbing Wheels, nothing. I thought they wanted to eliminate all the grabbing of the pre-lockout game.

I thought Larsson had been playing well this season, what happened with him?

Roller Hockey question in regards to what skates to get. by fdf06in hockey

[–]Splo 0 points1 point ago

while slicker surfaces need extremely soft wheels

Just as a caveat, this is dependent on your weight (assuming a sports surface). I'm a larger dude (6'4", upwards of 190) so I mix 76A and 78A and that seems to work the best for me. Someone like me on 74's would be a disaster.

Adams finalists: Hitchcock, MacLean, Tortorella by JewChooTrain89in hockey

[–]Splo 3 points4 points ago

I really don't like the idea that cap space should be a major factor in this award. There's an argument for it being considered for GM of the year but the coach works with what he's given regardless of cap usage.

First off I wanna say congrats to the Flyers winning that it was a good game. However I feel it necessary to say by noPENGSinALASKAin hockey

[–]Splo 4 points5 points ago

You can never count out anyone, ESPECIALLY a divisional opponent. They could give the Islanders a mercy playoff berth and that would still make me incredibly nervous.

PLAYOFF GAME THREAD: ESF; New Jersey Devils(#6) vs Philadelphia Flyers (#5) Game #1 (3:00 ET) - Series is Tied 0-0 by seKer82in hockey

[–]Splo 1 point2 points ago

It's really hard to tell if it's a kick or deflection in real time. To the refs credit that immediately went to review it.
