[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Until the next update, Game 7 is as posted.

 

[Here4ThaLids]

Do we think Trotz goes back to Varlamov? Have to think Hart gets the nudge.

 

[Lindberg]

Do we think Trotz goes back to Varlamov? Have to think Hart gets the nudge.

No clue for the Isles but it better be Hart. Although I could see Bill Meltzer coming up with some lame brain excuse as to why AV rolls out Elliot.

 

[romulus augustulus]

Would be shocked to see Hart sit. Wouldn't be shocked if Gostisbehere comes in for Sanheim. Hagg is probably a lock to play. Regardless, Flyers should resume protesting until Couturier is healed.

 

[Vikke]

1. There's no way Hart isn't playing.
2. Likewise, there's no way Ghost replaces Sanheim. The only player he'd ever replace is Hägg and that obviously won't happen. I'd love for Braun to be the man out, but... Veteran grit etc.
3. Just f***ing win it.

 

[Soup Enthusiast]

well hell

 

[BillDineen]

Take your heart medicine before this one! Let's go!

 

[Magua]

Nate Thompson series winning goal. It’s the only way this can end. I bolieve.

 

[kudymen]

I might be returning from a wedding* by the time of the puck drop (1:30am) - but I guess my low/non-existent presence brought good luck so I may not be watching either

Lets go and beat those fishermen!


*btw, great time to attend a wedding. The covid cases have averaged about 150-200 new cases a day in CZE in the past few months. Last week daily average >500. Lol

 

[tictactoe]

If Couturier is back I would sit Grant... and we do Sean back, I doubt we can win another game without him.

GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)" by AC/DC
​

Two teams enter, one team leaves. Strap on the big boy pants and be a f***ing Flyer!!

 

[BiggE]

Unless Couts is good to go, there will be no lineup changes. French Cashman would then probably sit someone who shouldn’t sit rather than Grant or Nate, but that is the penance we all must suffer.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

If they end up winning this thing, it may be one of the least exciting, least inspired 1-3 series comebacks in the history of hockey You wouldn't think it with the overtime games, but man.

 

[deadhead]

I might be returning from a wedding* by the time of the puck drop (1:30am) - but I guess my low/non-existent presence brought good luck so I may not be watching either

Lets go and beat those fishermen!


*btw, great time to attend a wedding. The covid cases have averaged about 150-200 new cases a day in CZE in the past few months. Last week daily average >500. Lol

See, you should have stayed Communists. In that case, COVID wouldn't exist.

 

[deadhead]

If Couts were to return, AV would have an interesting decision to make, does he keep Laughton on the 1st line and build a line around Couts with say JVR and TK, then go with Raffl - Hayes - NAK as the third line and Lindblom - Thompson - Pitlick as the 4th?

 

[tictactoe]

If Couts were to return, AV would have an interesting decision to make, does he keep Laughton on the 1st line and build a line around Couts with say JVR and TK, then go with Raffl - Hayes - NAK as the third line and Lindblom - Thompson - Pitlick as the 4th?

Hayes and TK finally started to play... you do not separate them you either stabilize it with Raffl or Oscar because this lines finds it self in the word of shit against Barzal.
Giroux Laughton Voracek
Raffl Hayes TK
Oscar Couturier JVR
NAK Thompson Pitlick (8min a game not 10 not 12min)

Raffl has been on his game this playoffs and without a doubt will contribute and as I've said earlier JVR scores in bunches and he is on his game. so putting him with Oscar and Coutuirier may actually work. imo of course.

 

[flyersnorth]

Ahhhhh. A game 7 thread.

All is right with the world.

 

[Chinatown88]

Bad juju required.

 

[dragonoffrost]

 

[Embiid]

Players that get injured are "suckers" and "losers" anyway....I just want healthy players not players that have been disabled Double shift Thompson and Grant! True heroes ...

 

[Striiker]

#FireAV
#FireTherrien
#FireFletcher

#FreeGhost
#FreeFrost

 

[landsbergfan]

I like what Laughton is doing with Giroux and Voracek. Those two can carry him while Coots carries another line on one leg. I'm not sure I can survive another game without Coots.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Lets finish the job and put the dagger in!

Grant has literally done nothing and I even forgot at times that he was playing last night. He should very much sit if Couts is back, especially since it seems that AV is okay with playing Laughton at center again.

Giroux-Couts-Voracek
JVR-Hayes-TK
Lindblom-Laughton-NAK
Raffl-Thompson (I f***ing wish he wasn't playing)-Pitlick

 

[kudymen]

See, you should have stayed Communists. In that case, COVID wouldn't exist.

I am not sure it wouldn't exist. Would we deny its existence though? Oh no doubt. (‘There Are No Viruses Here’: Leader of Belarus Scoffs at Lockdowns)
