Well first time in a long time too see these new guys.
Good overall impression team has a solid look to it. But same coaching issues are there. Defensive zone coverage is awful. Pk we can’t pick up stars in an umbrella and we are in a line in the slot. Easy pass good shot 1-0 stars.
We are struggling with stars flipping the puck up the middle and using their speed. Also being punished on the forecheck by stars quicker guys.
Cameron looks a huge find. That dudes gonna put up numbers this year. He needs a more direct centre to play with.
Decent game so far
Oh and Sherbinin got crushed with a peach of a hit at their blue line.
Fynn Page he’s gonna be terrific. Great signing.

2-0 stars end of the second.
Flyers short bench starting to show after last nights efforts.
One thing that jumps out our short pre season has our special teams looking poor. Lakkonen should for me be in control on the PP he needs the puck at the half boards to open up passing options. Think Mitch Marner on the leafs. Same PP Philips is rusty as hell. Looks way short of match fitness as well but no idea how much he played last night but his feet ain’t moving much tonight.
Reece one and two impressed by this young defensive team. Page he is one of the few trying to play physical.
Owen well he ain’t standing out so that tells you how much better the team is overall.
Need a goal for the crowd to get into it.

Forgot to say we had at least 3 mins 5 on 3 and never really troubled the stars goalie who looks a really good.

Game over 3-0 stars, bad miss from Owen gifted the 3rd.
Stars out played the flyers tonight they were sharper but first game of the weekend so to be expected.
Few hits thrown at the end from Flyers and a scuffle with a stars guy and Sandstrum. Nice to see a little fight back from the flyers.
They fought hard and worked all night which was great to see but they were out coached. Our dynamic duo ain’t good enough but that’s nothing new.

Dundee looked like they had been off last night while the short benched Flyers looked like they had had a tough game.
1-0 in each period to Stars. They deserved their win. Flyers couldn’t break down the defence, even on the five on three penalty and Lawrence struck the post with a penalty shot in the third.
Lots of tired bodies in Flyers line up by the end, not helped by eight minor penalties.
Think this would have been a different result with a full bench but Flyers ran out of steam well before the end.
Not all negative though. Cochrane had a decent game and Sherbinin had two big hits and looked ok. A win at Dundee on Thursday needed though.

Don’t know why they ran 4 d and benched page. I thought he looked good. Granted, took a couple of penalties, but still seems daft to run just 4 d men.

Game plan tonight against a fast stars team failed. PP failed PK same. To many full length one man rushes against a fast skating team. They played well but we’re out coached. That’s my opinion anyway. |

3 forward lines 5 D 4 imports short. Two points in first two games. Decent return. I get I’m being critical but small changes and it could have been better.
One thing I’ll say the two Finns are cracking players. Need to utilise there skill set better though. Cameron after 3 goals and Phillips struggling on the PP should have been swapped around.
Making of a good team here missing four of our bigger guys I’ll be back that’s for sure.

Been a while since I was at a game. Understandably the short bench looked knackered after last night and struggled to get anything flowing against the faster Stars team. I was struggling to see a leader on the ice, someone to pick the players up and encourage them. Maybe that will come with time or is one of the players not icing. The kit looks a mess with the black Challenge Cup top and the light blue leggings. What happened to the "Flyers" blue? Hopefully we'll be up and at them for the TV cameras on Thursday.
