Bobby Brink had a crazy game last night
0:02
he finished the game with two goals and
0:03
an assist but it went a little bit
0:06
further than that but let's break down
0:08
what exactly he did as the fowers beat
0:11
the Tamp Bay Lightning 43 in the
0:12
shootout the result doesn't really
0:15
matter in the long run they're not
0:16
anywhere near a playoff spot but we
0:18
thought let's give some flowers to a
0:20
young forward that's just coming up and
0:23
really establishing himself late in this
0:24
season as a a dangerous um playmaker and
0:27
shooter so let's really Dive In
0:30
but before we get into any highlights I
0:32
really want you to click the Subscribe
0:34
button down below it's one click a free
0:36
way to support independent coverage of
0:38
your favorite hockey team to the
0:39
Philadelphia Flyers and I don't know
0:42
we're on our road to a th000 it'll be
0:44
pretty fun if we hit a th000 by the end
0:45
of the season then we're going to do
0:47
something fun after we hit that
0:48
Benchmark so hit subscribe hit like um
0:51
and let's get to Bobby brings game uh so
0:54
here we are I think this is the first
0:55
shift that he had of the game uh just
0:58
over a minute into the first period
1:00
we see
1:02
here we he's on a line with paling Ryan
1:05
paling and O LEL um so not the most
1:08
offensive talented players but still
1:11
they made it work so here we are there's
1:14
a very shallow aggressive for check
1:16
that's lixel there that's doing a whole
1:19
lot of the work um and then we get into
1:23
Bobby Br kind of cleaning up cleaning up
1:25
some loose Puck um from the kind of the
1:30
four check being able to shuffle the uh
1:34
the offense around the defense so let's
1:38
let's just look here exactly how that
1:40
play did again cuz it kind of went
1:43
fast so had P Puck bounce laid
1:47
off yeah number 90 for Tampa didn't
1:50
really was able to sustain possession
1:53
Brink took over and look at that look at
1:55
just a very simple was able to take full
2:00
full advantage of the loose Buck
2:02
situation and pass it up to his linemate
2:05
impaling there and able to get a shot
2:07
off a decent scoring chance but
2:09
obviously not something that resulted in
2:11
a goal but this is his actual goal so
2:14
this is the from the first goal of
2:15
Brinks game so you see Tampa has some
2:18
offense but a SE like severe pressure
2:22
kind of the three-on-one situation a
2:23
little bit for the Flyers there and then
2:25
Rush up the ice so you have luel there
2:28
so LEL passes is off to
2:32
paling let's get back up
2:35
there LEL through exits the Zone failing
2:39
the neutral zone and then LEL is able to
2:42
kind of cross ice a little bit see that
2:46
Brink has been kind of trailing alone
2:48
and this is kind of what the good good
2:50
players do so it's obviously on the weak
2:51
side of
2:53
the of the rush bricks just all alone
2:57
there you see the Tampa defenseman
3:00
take his eyes off a Brink put his focus
3:03
on this strong side this rush and just
3:06
that little move it see you have all
3:08
Tampa players on this half of the ice
3:10
and Brink is all alone there and again
3:12
that's what the good players do they're
3:13
able to just become invisible and then
3:16
right at the right time just get open
3:20
and ready for a scoring chance BR glaz
3:22
it on his
3:24
feet uh layer on his feet there C takes
3:28
the puck into control and then just a
3:30
OneTouch
3:31
little well two touch really touch and
3:35
shot and then
3:37
goal it it's perfect it's it's it's
3:39
exactly what you kind of want to see
3:40
from a smaller um player like brink of
3:44
just being able to kind of shift around
3:45
the offense is what players of his size
3:48
and offensive capability have been able
3:50
to do and make careers out of so we see
3:53
here yeah great shot right over
3:54
Johansson's shoulder just yeah Tampa
3:58
defenseman through threaded needle
4:01
perfect yeah not even under the shoulder
4:03
kind of under yeah under the arm there
4:05
perfect that's so sick okay so this is
4:09
in the second period so obviously con
4:11
briak didn't do this line was incredible
4:14
they're four checking hard all night but
4:16
we just wanted to kind of make it quick
4:18
make it point and get to the okay I just
4:21
missed the freaking thing whole thing
4:24
okay
4:25
okay so obviously this is Brick's second
4:28
goal of the night um a really really
4:31
smart
4:33
play so you see he's kind of on an
4:36
overlap of uh shift so I think this is
4:38
coutu and tippet on the ice with Brink
4:42
but coutu is able to have this breakout
4:46
pass right to Brink and really we
4:50
haven't seen a whole lot of Brink's Rush
4:52
this season we've seen flashes of it
4:55
earlier but it's it's something that he
4:58
hasn't used a whole lot and you see
5:00
right here on the second goal of him
5:01
utilizing his speed really being able to
5:04
cut around the Tampa
5:07
defense yeah and tippet up there with
5:09
him so two kind of Speedy guys
5:11
but straight ahead yeah oh my God wait I
5:16
don't even think that was
5:18
tippet whatever I just
5:22
lied who the hell is
5:25
that oh it's paling okay
5:28
yeah so P's up there with them oh my God
5:32
okay so yeah P's up there with them so
5:34
line mate so it was coutou kind of
5:36
getting off the ice um yeah for a quick
5:40
let's look at that that
5:42
again quick over the entry obviously
5:47
he's basically playing shot the whole
5:48
way there's no way he's going to pass
5:49
the paling here there's just there's it
5:52
it wouldn't make sense unless you're
5:53
really not confident and having scored
5:55
earlier in the game it makes sense that
5:56
he's like yeah I'm going to shoot here
5:57
what the hell yeah sick forehead backand
6:01
little little Dipsy Doodle yeah he's
6:05
clearly feeling it he's feeling himself
6:07
he's it's going nuts um fans love it
6:10
let's let's see see a closer look yeah
6:14
coutou Outlet Pass Perfect right over
6:17
the Red Line enter forehand backhand
6:20
shot yeah it's just it's what you want
6:22
to see from a player that has the
6:24
potential like Brink hat like he's not
6:25
going to be on that right side of kkny
6:28
or Mish cob but he's like he's quickly
6:30
establishing himself as one of the real
6:33
solid top nine Wingers um not even just
6:36
for the Flyers but like he's so young
6:38
too that there's a
6:40
whole there's a whole runway for him to
6:44
go now okay let's look on this shift um
6:48
so quickly again second period really
6:51
feeling himself obviously um little
6:54
defensive play he was ready but yeah
6:57
Andre was there first tip it was here
7:00
that's what I was thinking about tip it
7:01
out quick just like nudge pass let's
7:04
look at that again pilings there
7:07
pressure Andre failing Tippets there
7:12
yeah little nudge pass Brink able to use
7:14
some of his speed again not this not the
7:15
fastest player but still able to have
7:17
above average speed um that you and and
7:20
pace of play that you want kind of want
7:22
to see from him and again again like
7:26
it's all he's known as an undersized guy
7:28
but there's there's like is that Ryan
7:31
MCD yeah I think so yeah Ryan MCD
7:35
um you're battling with one of the like
7:38
most established
7:40
defenseman in the NHL and then he's
7:43
still able to keep possession body
7:45
positioning that's all kind of Scouts
7:46
want to see body positioning keep
7:48
possession of the puck able to keep it
7:50
away from the defenseman and then you
7:52
suddenly you set it up for your
7:55
teammate and then yeah and then you get
7:57
a goal and you get you earn a secondary
7:59
assist but it's probably the most earned
8:00
secondary assist ever um because look at
8:04
that let's look at the whole play
8:06
again goes up the ice enters the Zone
8:09
races to the puck beats out McDon body
8:12
positioning able to keep possession
8:13
along the boards see Tampa defenseman
8:17
kind of pressuring in on him um doesn't
8:20
matter lays it off quick sees that Eric
8:23
cernak there and again later we saw that
8:26
mov kind of entangled with him so he's
8:29
um had a very bad game yeah terrible
8:32
positioning from Tampa defense but then
8:35
paling just sneaks in and then able to
8:36
dipy Doodle around Johansson and get the
8:39
goal and Brink earns the assist it's
8:42
just a play that it's it's the next step
8:45
of what you want to see from Brink it's
8:47
not so much of like the speed and we
8:49
know that he has a decent shot obviously
8:51
that we already saw two goals from him
8:52
in this game but the body positioning
8:54
the able to keep possession the the
8:57
wherewithal to read in becoming
8:59
teammates and just say okay that defense
9:02
that defenseman isn't capable of being
9:05
able
9:06
to get to my teammate and there's going
9:09
to be a play there it's just awareness
9:10
that you kind of want to see from
9:12
players that Excel and get to the next
9:14
level um this is the kind of the final
9:17
play I want to highlight um it's on the
9:19
power
9:20
play dr's
9:22
there we have
9:26
couturier and then yeah so dry still
9:29
there lays it off to
9:31
Brink okay now
9:35
I'm there we go Dale Brink enters the
9:38
Zone on the power play so obviously he's
9:40
like really feeling himself enough to
9:42
have a clean Zone entry on the power
9:44
play it's it's incredible and then yeah
9:46
this is the pass passed around the Tampa
9:51
defenseman and coua gets a high danger
9:54
shot like right in that slot
9:57
area real nice just clean just a clean
10:00
play of on the rush that you kind of
10:02
again you want to see these plays happen
10:04
you want this to work out you want to
10:07
see Brink take that next level and I
10:10
think I think on Thursday's game you
10:13
really did you were able to see
10:16
Brink establish him like not you will to
10:20
see Brink
10:21
more play with a level of confidence and
10:24
maturity and a whole well-rounded game
10:28
and effort
10:30
that is the step that you want to see
10:32
from these young forwards that the
10:34
Foresters the Tippets even the palings
10:37
like paling had a hell of a game but
10:39
it's the that level that you want to see
10:42
of flashes of so okay you can be one of
10:45
the main Supporting Cast members for the
10:48
next great Flyers team though led by
10:50
Matt feay mitov you could hang around
10:52
and be on that other wall maybe that
10:55
other half wall on the on the first
10:56
Power Play unit when this team's really
10:58
good it's it's a massive step for brink
11:00
and I think this is where he will kind
11:03
of separate himself from the pack of
11:06
really just
11:07
being not just like a often forgett
11:10
forgotten about player for the Flyers
11:12
future but really bring him up to that
11:14
level of I could hang out with the
