Re: Reviving the Flyers(NHL17) 2.0

Philadelphia Flyers Season Preview

The Philadelphia Flyers surprised many experts by sneaking into the playoffs last season and taking the Washington Capitals to the limit even without their starting goalie Steve Mason and defensive center Sean Couturier. Ron Hextall didn't make any waves during free agency, only signing Dale Weise and TJ Brennen to contracts. 2015 1st Rounders Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov are going to start the 2016-17 season in the Orange and Black after a very good pre-season for the two youngsters. This team might not be a top contender team, but do not count them out.

Offense: The Flyers' Offense runs through Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek. Both players had solid World Cup showing and that should carry over into the season. Sean Couturier(39 points in 63 Games) and Brayden Schenn(59 Points in 80 games) are another year older and both are coming off breakout seasons. The expectations are high for the two young forwards. Wayne Simmonds will continue to be a force during the powerplays and should reach 25 goals this year. Rookie Travis Konecny is going to start on the 2nd line and the Flyers faithful are buzzing over this kid. He is a firecracker that is extremely talented and vicious. The rest of the lineup will chip in goals with a potential third line of M.Raffl-N.Cousins-M.Read that could cause mayhem while scoring. Shayne Gostisbehere has high expectations after his unbelievable arrival into the NHL and Michael Del Zotto is healthy and should resume his top line role and both are expected to chip in on the offense.

Defense: The Flyers still have Andrew MacDonald hanging around, but the addition of rookie Ivan Provorov and the emergence of Brandon Manning has put Hextall in a bit of a pickle and with the wealth of prospects the Flyers have in the pool it'll be hard to keep them out of the lineup. Shayne Gostisbehere, Radko Gudas, and Michael Del Zotto will lead this defense. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mark Streit moved around the deadline, if the Flyers aren't in the playoff running. The 38 year old can still play and will be looked upon to help the younger defenders, but his role has diminished.

Goalies: Don't let the Flyers media sway you, this job is Steve Mason's and his to lose and he seems to be in mid season form already. Michal Neuvirth is an excellent goalie and the Flyers are lucky to have two great goalies. Neuvy could be a starter on a few teams and with one year remaining he may get that opportunity, but unless Mason either flubs or gets an injury, Neuvirth will see maybe 30 games.

Expectation: Continue the young development and challenge for a playoff spot

CAPTAIN: Claude Giroux
ALTERNATE: Wayne Simmonds
ALTERNATE: Sean Couturier

Schneider Stifles Flyers Offense


Cory Schneider makes one of his 40 saves during last night's 3-1 victory

NHL.com -- Usually when a team dominates play and has 40+ shots, odds are they will come away victorious. Last night was not one of those nights as Baltimore's goalie Cory Schneider stopped everything the Flyers threw at him and only a Taylor Hall mix up cost him the shutout. Michael Neuvirth on the other hand wasn't his best and that ultimately was the deciding factor.

DETROIT TRADES: 2017 1ST ROUND PICK AND D N.KRONWALL

GM Ron Hextall announced this trade early this afternoon. "We have had a few teams inquire about Neuvy and we explored all sorts of options. This trade not only helps us this season, but we also get an additional 1st round pick for the 2017 draft. The emergence of Anthony Stolarz enabled us to make this move." This deal also seems to point to Steve Mason being resigned this offseason.

Kronwall's Three Assists in Debut Leads Flyers


Niklas Kronwall had three assists in his debut with the Flyers

NHL.com -- Niklas Kronwall's debut with his new team was an exceptional one as he played a role in three of the Flyers four goals and a Radko Gudas goal late in the third gave the Flyers a 4-3 Win last night vs their rivals the New York Rangers. Raanta started the game for the Rangers and he gave the Flyers fits with 36 saves. Steve Mason shook off some iffy goals to keep the Flyers in the game. Nick Cousins would score two and Wayne Simmonds scored as well for the Flyers who won their third straight game without captain Claude Giroux.

Big Night for the Flyers as Giroux Returns


Giroux sits on the bench in his 1st game back from injury

NHL.com -- The Orange Jesus finally returned after three weeks and the Flyers' offense was resurrected in a 6-2 drubbing of the Hartford Whalers. The Whalers kept the game close in the 2nd period with goals from Rask and Teravainen that tied the game, but within the next three minutes goals from Konecny and Kronwall(1st as a Flyer) put the Whalers on their heels. Giroux's 1st goal back also proved to be the final straw as Cam Ward was pulled for Eddie Lack. Lack stopped the bleeding but the Whalers offense could not get any foothold. The bright spot for the Whalers was holding the Flyers PP to 0/6.

Sean Couturier Has Career Night, Flyers Blow Out Nucks

NHL.com -- The Flyers were finally back to reasonable health after being decimated by injuries over the last three weeks. Those injuries to key players has cost the Flyers points in the playoff race as they sit about three points out of a wildcard position. With only injuries to Mark Streit and Steve Mason the Flyers took out their anger on the lowly Vancouver Canucks. Anthony Stolarz got the nod for the Flyers, with Mason, who is still not 100%, dressed as his backup. While Jacob Markstrom was in net for the Nucks. The scoring started early for the Flyers as just under three minutes in Wayne Simmonds beat Markstrom. Six minutes later Sean Couturier would add his 1st of the night, giving the Flyers a 2-0 lead. The Canucks had their chances, including a 5 minute powerplay after Brayden Schenn boarded Nikita Tryamkin and was given a Game misconduct, but Stolarz and the Flyers PK stopped chance after chance. The 2nd period was all Flyers as they put four past Markstrom and chased him. Ryan Miller was flawless until a Wayne Simmonds pass to a streaking Couturier led to Coot's Hat Trick goal and a 7-1 victory.
