GDT: #1| FLYERS at Boston |Wed., Oct. 8, 2014| 7:30 p.m. ET

[Sombastate]

I'm excited to hate life with all of you for the next 6-8 months

 

[Vikke]

JUST 25 MORE HOURS!

We're gonna lose, aren't we?

 

[Danko]

Work tomorrow is going to be...

I can't wait. Hockey is back

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Krejci is on IR.

Info will be updated momentarily.

So apparently Gagne cracked the team? They need to sign him first.

It appears they could make additional roster adjustments prior to the game in order to comply with the salary cap.

Oh crap, we just might. Let me whip out the insurance policy.

There. Win assured.

Hey man.


Don't stop the party.

 

[Appleyard]

That Bruins forward group certainly looks beatable.

 

[Striiker]

We could always get the infomercial fail gifs going if things aren't starting off so well, it seemed to be good luck last year.

I actually think the flyers are going to be much better than most people think. I think by the end of the season we will be viewed as having one of the deepest offenses in the league. I think Schenn will get 55/60 points, couts will get up to 50, and vinny will get 25ish goals. And i also dont think our defense is as bad as people say, but dont like the pairings we are currently using. Grossman is not as bad as people say, i think defensively he is quite good actually, schenn will keep getting better (not amazing but better), and the rest of our defense is what it is. I can see streit hitting 50/55 points

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Here we gooo. Solid GDT as always.

Lets go Flyers \o/.

With Krejci being injured, their forward crew really doesn't look that scary. We should be able to match up well against them, just have to rustle Rask early on.

This could be the year the Bruins have a bit of a dip... Chara will be 38 by the end of the year, Seidenberg is coming off a nasty injury, Boychuk traded, they have not really replaced Iginla (though Reilly Smith has the ability to step up) and Cunningham, Spooner and Fraser are pretty unproven in the NHL (though Spooner has pedigree).

Glad Bobby Robins made the team though, hope he suits up, the guy has an awesome blog, is an interesting guy and has worked his arse off to get where he is.

Hoping to see a lot more out of Jake this season, hopefully this game. Love this quote from him:

“You can’t have discussions with everyone, but in the end, it’s all up to you,” Voracek said when asked if he needed to hear that from someone else. "How you prepare and work for it. The guys who work for it, usually make it. I was doing everything I could this summer to get to that next level. I changed my diet, which I never thought would have been possible two years ago, the way I love food. It’s not funny. I really sacrificed to be that player that people think I can be.”

It's a Panaccio article, so take it for what it's worth, but the quotes from Jake are promising: http://www.csnphilly.com/hockey-philadelphia-flyers/jakub-voracek-doing-everything-get-next-level

Boychuk trade makes no sense...for picks no less. Must have been traded for reasons that shall not be revealed ..

They had to make a trade cause they were over on the cap

The rest of the league better watch out is all I can say.

they do. Krejci being out makes it a bit easier matchup wise. I still think they are going to struggle in the faceoff dot against the Bruins. always seem to no matter who they throw out there. scoring first is a must against that team especially early. don't fall behind or the Flyers will be suckered into their type of game.

 

[Embiid]

Yes I know but he meant a lot to that team on and off the ice. GM was limited with having to sign Krug et al but I just question whether they really considered the impact of his loss..

 

[JVR21]

holy moly we have a game tonight

 

[jd2210]

Just win. Please. Its been a while since we had a great start to the season and I'd love one this year.
