6-3 Flyers vs. Penguins recap: a four-point game for Joel Farabee

Okay, before we start, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Someone at SB Nation really made a mistake by allowing me to be in charge of all the hockey sites on the net without ever having summarized the game. Yes, that’s right, this is my first recap of the game. And it will be a wild ride.

A start at 5:30 for the first of eight Pennsylvania Battles this season – COME ON! Today, the day of the birth of Ivan Provorov (and some other brother who plays for Edmonton) is going to be a good day! Just before the game, we learned that Shayne Gostisbehere was prevented from playing due to the new COVID-19 protocol. So this is cool. Great. Nothing to see here. You don’t have to panic.

Scott Hartnell’s first impressions of the Flyers Pre Game Live – I’m interested in that, I’m glad he stayed in the area. He has some nerves to work with and it’s still so weird that they’re sitting in each other’s studios, but hey, I have to be safe. As for Taryn, the navy blue dress and nude sneaker combo is a personal favorite, she remains a star and I am so happy that she survived all the nonsense of the NBC contract.

We haven’t even gotten to the game yet and this is the best tweet I saw tonight.

Apparently, I had to change the channel to actually watch the game. That’s annoying. Do you know what else is annoying? Oskar Lindblom makes his season debut in an empty arena. I tried to think of ways that we could all be there in our cars after the game to honk at him, but it didn’t make sense logistically. So we’ll have to do something extra special the next time we can.

The first period

Why is the judge talking to me? Just drop the disc, this is weird. LOL I forgot about Tristan Jarry. We hate that guy. The Flyers don’t look like this is the first game of their season, I don’t want to talk too soon, so I’ll keep that thought to myself (and all of you).

Oh. The Penguins scored. That sucks. A guy named Jankowski. Pierre called Voracek a stranger and that doesn’t make it better not to score the first goal of the season. Mark Jankowski with the assistance of Ivan Provorov and Jake Voracek. Not really, but that was it. And now a penalty for Scott Laughton for some nonsense like breathing on Sidney Crosby.

Ah yes, the beautiful game.

The death penalty is 1/1 this season, I can’t see them slowing down, it may well be 100% throughout the season.

I hate national games. Return JJ.

I forgot again that Joel Farabee is 86 years old, it will take some games to get used to. I don’t like Robert Hagg-Erik Gustafsson.

Have you heard the names of Penguins skaters and just cringed? This just happened to me with Evgeni Malkin. Go away, sir. I really don’t like this team. Which? Who can say.

I would be very happy now if the Flyers could put some pressure on Jarry because he is not good, but they just can’t get through the record.

Voracek and Gustafsson almost scored for a goal, Jarry completely lost the puck under his ass, but found it before another Flyers did. Then Caca Peepee – sorry, sorry, Codi Ceci – took a penalty so let’s see this power game. And just like we all draw, ERIK GUSTAFSSON SCORES THE FIRST COLLAR OF THE FLYERS OF THE SEASON. Wow, penalty kill and power play are 1/1 this season. Let’s keep it up.

I’m kidding, it was a goal by James Van Hockey. OBJECTIVE SCORING MACHINE JAMES VAN RIEMSDYK. Assists by Gus and Farabee.

Please, for the love of God, keep the record in the offensive zone. Please. I’m asking politely. Maybe in the next period. Wait, what pisspot just won a penalty from the Penguins’ bench? Oh baby, oh baby, was it Travis Konecny? Yes, it was for cross-checking, but our favorite garbage announcer is in the mid-season form AND OUR POWER PLAY IS 2/2 NOLAN PATRICK IS BACK, BABY !!!! That goal came eight seconds after the penalty kick, incredible. You know, as much as I wanted Patrick’s first goal this season to be a beauty, I’ll give you a hint. It releases some pressure for him to score in the first game, no matter how it happens.

We will never let Gus Bus get off the ice, it seems that the only strategy.

The second period

We are back and I am bored because none of the goals that the Flyers scored were easy to distinguish who scored them. I am also upset that Mike “is not Mike Johnston” Sullivan does not bother to wear his mask over his nose. Voracek takes a penalty for interference and it’s time for our penalty kick to take action.

Oh WOOF. Carter Hart, please never throw the disc. Ever. But especially with Crosby three feet away. The death penalty is no longer undefeated and I personally think that Hart needs a time limit. Let me find a video of this mess, you need to see it.

Only. ugh. I need a minute after that, I’m pissed.

Okay, we’re regrouping and moving on. Nolan Patrick is clearly upset because he gets a sharp penalty and we all hope that no one does shit this time. On a second look, lol, it wasn’t a slash. But whatever, here we are. Two out of three penalties have died and we are back in full force. I should keep an eye on the two questions from today’s preview, but I forgot what they are, so stay tuned for them at the end.

The good news is that Flyers are spending more time in the offensive zone during this period.

Ugh, Ron Hextall reference. I know, I KNOW, we all owe a lot to the man, but I personally would like to move on. Probably just because it’s Pierre. I think it’s time for another Flyers goal, let’s make it happen, guys. I hate that period, I know I said I was leaving the Hart flub, but I didn’t. Let’s take a look at the Broad Street Hockey Slack room:

Yes. This is how this period is going. We’re going to play those idiots again this week, aren’t we? This is going to be a stressful season. TRISTAN JARRY IS NOT GOOD, PEPPER IT WITH SHOTS.

“Sucking dirty lake water” is a quote from Pierre now about how Couturier and Konecny ​​were gassed. I don’t think I heard that before.

GOAL FARABEE !!!!!!!!!! YES, THAT’S IT, THAT’S WHAT WE NEED! A THREE POINT GAME FOR YOUNG BEEZER! Our newly married boy is having fun. That’s what I’m saying about Jarry, just put those records in it. With the end of the period, Oskar Lindblom is in some pain after blocking a knee kick (?), We will have an update on him before the end of the game.

How many nicknames can we give to Joel Farabee? Farabee objective. The Farabeast. The bees. Furbeez. JoEl Farabiid. Please don’t call him Philly Joel. It hurts me, personally.

The third period

Phew, Lindblom is fine and back on the ice for the start of the third. Too Much Man for the Penguins and the Flyers comes into power play after 39 seconds. You know what that means, it’s time for the Gus bus. Let the man work, damn it. Unfortunately, the Penguins kill that penalty and then come back to tie the game. Branden Tanev played a 3-3 game, I really would have liked it if the Flyers scored in that power play. But unfortunately.

Yes, at the right time, Sidney Crosby’s editing. It is not a national game without one!

Who are these guys playing for Pittsburgh? No Dan Marino, Someone Mathison, WHO CARES MICHAEL RAFFL JUST MARKED! I have absolutely no idea what happened and neither do the Flyers on the ice. We will find a replay because it was incredibly Flyera.

Dirty. Greasy. Perfect. Raffl scored the goal, but Scott Laughton did all the work there. I love them together. Nicolas Aube-Kubel is the perfect complement to the pair of Raffl and Laughton, who play for all three.

I decided to pay attention to my only task in answering both questions and Travis Konecny ​​scored the first of the season! An excellent move by Sean Couturier AND I CANNOT FINALLY TELL YOU WHY KEVIN HAYES JUST POINTED TO 6-3.

The floodgates opened staff !!! This is what we were waiting for, as I have been saying since the beginning, get the record from Jarry BECAUSE IT ISN’T GOOD. Here, just watch because I’m still screaming.

Farabeast has four (4) points and is the NHL’s top scorer. What a time to be alive. A slightly stressful moment when Travis Sanheim checks whether Carter Hart is still awake and whether we are in the final minute of regulation. Phil Myers holds the puck to end the game and the Flyers win the season opener 6-3!

Two great answers

1. How long to shake off the rust?

You know, they looked pretty good almost immediately. The second period was not good, but I don’t think it was due to rust, I think it was just playing against the Penguins. The ice looked a little sloppy, but the Flyers didn’t. Maybe it’s just the adrenaline rush of the first game of the season, but I’m not concerned with the amount of time this team is away from the ice and the short training ground.

2. What will Nolan Patrick look like?

The guy had a power play goal and looked strong throughout the game. I’m still not entirely convinced of the JVR-Patrick-Voracek line, but Patrick came back and looked like he was ready to take the next natural step in his career – not just get back into shape from last season, he was able to Touch.

My three stars

3. You

2. I

1. Joel Farabee

We endured a lot to get to this point. The rest of the team deserves the stars, for sure, but no more than we do.
