The Flyers are coming off a game where they completely embarrassed themselves, so this one could be trouble.

 

[Row I Goon]

9am down under. Hoping we can play a full 3 periods.

For Philadelphia

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

9-3 OTL incoming

 

[mrjiggyfly]

Flyers blown out in must win games by both Columbus and Montreal. Torts has been Torting.

If the Rangers don’t show up for the 1st period again, something is wrong with the leadership on this team. That is unacceptable . Rangers need to be ready from the 1st drop of the puck at 7 08 or whenever it is. Rempe should be in the lineup. Scratch Roslovic and put Vesey or Cuylle up on the top line

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I’m going with an opposing opinion.
Believe the Flyer players are done and they will be counting the seconds from puck drop to last Wistle.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Win. Thanks.

 

[chosen]

I get a kick out of Rempe like everyone else but the overemphasis on his importance is monumental.

If he was on another team and Siegenthalered a Rangers dman, the universal opinion here would be that he's worse than Wilson, even if the victim was Trouba.

Will be interesting because this is probably a do or die game for the Flyers. Their season may be over if they do not come away with a win.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Isles, Caps, Pens, RWs, Flyers. Who do we want to play in the first round?

Whoever is WC2. Earn that top seed. Beat the bad teams remaining.

But that’s kind of why he’s important. He is a Ranger. So other teams are talking about him, worrying about him, concerned about him, and really he’s gonna play 5:43 with 6 hits and 1 shot on goal. He’s a physical forward, puts some extra mileage on their D and is a distraction for the opponent

 

[McRanger92]

Isles, Caps, Pens, RWs, Flyers. Who do we want to play in the first round?

At this point I'm completely fine with any matchup provided we stay ahead of Boston and avoid Tampa until the ECF (bold take).

We'd be nominating him for the sainthood.

So what's up with Mika? Is he out?

 

[eco's bones]

Often times a young players goes off for the summer after his first taste of the NHL and comes back to training a better player. Over the summer months a team can help him develop but also from that acquired experience the player now has an understanding of areas of his game he really needs to focus on become a better player. This I would think is going to be true for Rempe and for Edstrom.....maybe even Othmann. Right now things are still kind of a blur and there's not much time for the one on one stuff so there's a bit of winging it on Rempe's part. There are points in the year that are better for working on a young player's development than others and this point of a team gearing up for the playoffs is not one of them.

I don't have a particular issue with how Laviolette has used Rempe so far. In retrospect would it have been nice if he played the last one? Maybe. But keeping in mind that the two events that seemed to piss the coach off the most happened in the middle of the 3rd period and at pretty much the end of the game. It's also questionable whether Pelech targeted Mika the way he thinks he did. Not that I'm against some kind of revenge anyway.....but that's to me built into the game.

It's not nice to lose to an arch rival......particularly when you think you've the better team. A shit first period and the last two periods the opponent playing shut the door defensive rope-a-dope with their fans crowing at end of game with glee. Every year has its ups and downs though.

I was in the building to see him score 50. I'm gonna be in the building to see him score 40 again.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Win

 

[duhmetreE]

Mika May is on the way. Don’t dismay. Let the DJ play.

He’s cooking. Sous vide

So what's up with Mika? Is he out?

I thought it was a really good sign he was back on the bench at the end of the last game.

To me that signifies he didnt have any concussion symptoms, but they were just being careful holding him out the rest of the way. Hes the type of guy, with his history who wouldve stayed in the room if he felt something (thats my opinion).

I wouldnt be surprised if they were extra careful with him and kept him out tonight -We wouldve had a much better indication if they had practice yesterday though.

 

[17futurecap]

Bury them early and often.
