[Beef Invictus]

This seems familiar.

First half of a back to back, Kings are Saturday. There was also some other bit of relevant news that I've completely forgotten in the past 3 seconds. I tried, ok

 

[Cody Webster]

Tank on

Over/under 10.5 goals against during the back to back?

 

[BiggE]

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is Hart really day-to-day now?

 

[Ghosts Beer]

They’ve been playing quite well, but no Hart, no Couturier, brutal schedule…. Things are about to get ugly for a bit.

 

[BiggE]

Is Hart really day-to-day now?

Couts and Hart both out? Look out San Jose, here we come!

 

[Audible Velvet]

Couts and Hart both out? Look out San Jose, here we come!

It’s some tough competition, but I have faith in our boys.

 

[deadhead]

Is Hart really day-to-day now?

They'll survive no Couts better than no Hart.
But it is an opportunity for Ersson to get his game in gear, he's much better than he's looked.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Is Hart really day-to-day now?

I have questions about Hart being rushed back since the initial reports were longer, but I'm more worried about Couturier. Back problems can easily lead to lower body problems.

 

[Beef Invictus]

OP lineup is adjusted for us, it's guesswork for now. Poehling is obviously back but I don't know how they shake it out.

They have lost 5 of 6, and with the best coach in history, assume they will still play well to your standards, nothing to worry about.

 

[macleish1974]

Always like new music, Beef

Doom and Gloom. Watch, Flyers win.

 

[Rich Nixon]

This is definitely a W tonight, simply because there is no reason it should be.

 

[Danko]

Same as it ever was in the Flyers Sports Medicine Department

 

[Ghosts Beer]

One thing’s for sure, no matter what happens, you’ll blame Tortorella.

They could go .500 with an entire team called up from the AHL & you’d blame Torts.

 

[deadhead]

This team is playing better than any Flyer team since 2019-20 in terms of getting the most out of the talent on hand, problem is there isn't enough talent, and the talent they have is inexperienced.

Torts has opened up the game, they're above the league average in zone entries, they're 7th in xGF%, they're playing with the big boys and holding their own - but between some shaky goalie play and the inability to finish consistently, they're coming out on the wrong side of the ledger.

But they're rebuilding - and creating a structure in which it'll be easy to insert more talented players the next few years.

10 games, once he gets his pets back in Staal, Risto etc, name the bet, anything you want, this won't maintain itself and is nothing less than a OK start like every other year.

 

[deadhead]

Yeah, replacing Belpedio with Risto will make a big difference.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Coots being out is concerning not bc of win/loss concern, but you have to wonder if his back is good.

 

[swami24]

Surprised they called up a goalie, while still holding onto Sandstrom

 

[Tripod]

I get to watch finally.

Can they play well and win while I watch? Has yet to happen this year. Maybe tonight is the night.

They are not rebuilding.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Surprised they called up a goalie, while still holding onto Sandstrom

Sandstrom is on a conditioning assignment with the Phantoms, so they needed to call up someone.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Well I think we all knew this with Couturier, coming off significant back injury he’s going to need days off during the season. Just can’t expect him to grind thru 82 games

Sandstrom is on a conditioning assignment with the Phantoms, so they needed to call up someone.

The cap dump got called up I believe
