PHILADELPHIA FLYERS (0-0-0, 0-0-0 home) vs. TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS (1-0-0, 1-0-0 away )​

BROADCAST INFORMATION

Television: TSN, CSN-PH
Radio: TSN Radio1050 Toronto


Preview: This will be the Flyers’ season-opener . . . The Flyers began last season 0-3 and 2-6 and never recovered, missing the playoffs for just the second time in the past 18 seasons. Philly was one of the NHL's worst teams in even-strength situations last season, prompting the signing of Vinny Lecavalier to a five-year, $22.5 million (U.S.) free-agent deal in July.

[Daisy Jane]

time to see what Bernier can do. here's hoping for 2 points
(I don't know what Breaking Bad is, but this is good)

 

[LV*]

I thought Bodie played well, but expecting Ashton to develop while playing 3 mins a game is ridiculous.

I say switch Bodie and Ashton, also I'd like to see Rielly play a game.

 

[Jot]

Hope Rielly gets a chance.

 

[Warden of the North]

Lets make it 2 and 0

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Good luck Bernier in first game in blue and white.

to Kessel.

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[Suntouchable13]

****, they are better than us down the middle by a lot. One area that I am not sold on with our team is down the middle.

 

[JMcLeaf]

I'm expecting it to be a high scoring game

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[CanadasTeam]

Lol! nice GDT crump.

Daisy, it's a great TV show, it's too bad this is the final season: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/

 

[binop7]

suggestion for this thread. Capitalize the players first or last name in the lineup like they do in the breaking bad credits based on the periodic table. mezAros for example.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Excuse me?

LOL i'm sorry!
though I got the first season on dvd, so i am going to check it out.

on topic -
out side of our division - this is one of the games we need to win (in regulation). it doesn't matter if it's game 2, this is a team we're going to be battling for potentially a wild card (if a disaster happens and we can't clinch a secured spot).

we need to come in, take advantage of whomever, and then practice holding a lead.

Considering that Philly's goaltending situation is very shaky, we have an advantage there.

i agree.
I was talking with HockeyCrazed and I will expect this to be wide open, unless Bernier shuts it down early. it's another energy sucker (poor Leafs having to go through three in a row - Montreal's never ending flame, whatever Philly does, and then Ours on Saturday.

so it could be as high scoring/chances as it was tonight in Montreal with tired/dumb plays by our guys near the end. I don't think we won a 2nd game in a back to back all last season.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Looking fwd to seeing Rielly and Bernier. Before the season is over I can see these 2 being key players for us this year.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Another win please.

 

[Mindrust]

I nominate Crump for making all the GDTs!

Whoa my friend, DaisyJoy's GDT's are not to be forgotten. She does an awesome job.

 

[AvroArrow]

Looks that way on paper but Lecavlier isn't really as good as he once was. Overall i say were almost equal down the middle, maybe a slight edge to philly with Giroux. But Kadri/Bolland > Lecavalier/Coutourier or however you spell it

 

[leafsfuture]

By no means is this confirmed, but I wouldnt be surprised at all to see Rielly make his NHL debut... either at the cost of Gardiner or Ranger. Probably Gardiner.

 

[Pyrophorus]

The toughest game of my prediction, just due to the back to back.

They can't be too tired, can they?

Go Leafs Go!

 

[Garbage Goal]

Emery is starting in all likelihood.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Emery in net? Was hoping for Mason, we lit him up like a beachball in pre-season and the guy has never really done much since that first year or two he had in Columbus.

I gotta miss the first couple periods due to work I fear, hope the Leafs bring it.. **** the NHL schedule makers for giving us a game on back to back nights to START the season.

 

[Crispy Crust]

A parade of goals from Kessel, Kadri, and Lupul should be in order.

 

[BayStreetBullies*]

People are all high on BB because it was just on. It's a very good show, but Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are miles ahead.

Never could get into GoT. Too boring for my taste.


Inb4 'you know nothing'

 

[HellasLEAF]

Ranger out, Rielly in please.

Leave Gardiner right where he is.
