Lets do this!
First we brought up Hart and now we trade for Hartman. This team has a lot of heart man.
The good news is that we only have 2 more teams to jump. I doubt the Pens totally collapse. Carolina is hot, 8-2 in last 10 and Montreal has cooled down 4-5-1 in last 10. Thursday's game against the BJ's is huge. They have played better on the road. We have 1 remaining against Montreal and 2 against Carolina. We still have 3 games against Washington, 2 against Toronto and 3 against the Islanders. Tough schedule remaining.7 points back we need some help but there are a lot of games to go.
It would be some kind of feat to make it but just watching them play now just like at the end of last season is so much more fun than early on.,The good news is that we only have 2 more teams to jump.

Well he showed he's not afraid to show heart on the ice. Maybe a solid third liner seemed to be responsible on bith ends, that was just 1 game though.First we brought up Hart and now we trade for Hartman. This team has a lot of heart man.
I don't think we can get there, it's to little time left and we have a lot of ground to make up plus need way to much help.7 points back we need some help but there are a lot of games to go.
I think im gonna like Hartman if he keeps up this type of play.
Thats a great nickname i hadn't seen that they gave him that name yet.Dude won over Flyers fans in a hurry and in a BIG way!!!!
I like the nickname they gave him, "Deuce"
He sure as hell knocked the deuce out of a couple guys.....
Well at the very least we will get some good hockey in the last 20.I don't think we can get there, it's to little time left and we have a lot of ground to make up plus need way to much help.
Thats a great nickname i hadn't seen that they gave him that name yet.
Thats a good story i wish i would've watched that interview after the game.They interviewed him at the end of the game and Scott Hartnell called in and said when he was with the Preds, when they picked up Hartman, Hartnell was called Hartsy, so they called him Deuce. Now that he's with the Flyers and they calls Carter Hart Hartsy, he was going to have to settle for being Deuce again. Hartman said he didn't mind, he liked the nickname, he was just happy to be playing in Philly.
So Hartnell named him Deuce.
Shots on net given up by us in our last 10 games:
43
36
32
40
38
38
39
27
32
39
Something needs to be fixed here as we wont be winning anything giving up this many shots night in and night out.
In our last 10 games we are 6-4.Since breaking an 8 game losing streak on 1/10, the Flyers are 16-4-1, earning 78.5% of the available points.
I didn't look at advanced stats i just know we as a team will get very tired down the stretch giving up that many shots not conducive to our playoff hopes and it may have contributed to Hart being hurt this early on in his career.Definitely agree. From the advanced stats, I think they were OK last night. The Sabres accumulated 1.88 Expected Goals (xG) last night, which basically rates the strength of each shot by location/type of shot etc. Basically saying that while they gave up a lot of shots last night, they weren't high danger shots.
Not really applicable beyond last night though, because this winning brand of hockey recently has mostly been Hart standing on his head and getting some timely goals.
I think if we are going to play AMac that little it would benefit Morin to be in the line up instead.I'll be interested to see what Gordon decides to do about the D. He mentioned in his post game that 11F/7D is not really a long term solution/plan.
TOI Last night for D:
Provorov - 22:48
Sanheim - 21:13
Gudas - 18:07
Hagg - 15:50
Myers - 15:24
MacDonald - 8:55 (team-wide low)
That would greatly indicate AMac would be the #7. What a treat it would be to watch a Provorov, Sanheim, Gudas, Hagg, Myers group on D.
