GDT: #1 | FLYERS at San Jose | Wed. Oct. 4, 10:30 pm ET| NBCSN

[FLYguy3911]

Any word on a practice today?

 

[explosive skating]

10:30 is not bad believe me. It's 4:30 am here in Europe

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

10:30 is not bad believe me. It's 4:30 am here in Europe

It's 9:30 a.m. here in the jungle and I'm off work. WOO!

Oh ... the lineup ... woo?

 

[WestrnPhlyr]

I can't complain too much out here in Washington. I will get to see the first two games (according to my DVR). I am just happy hockey will be back for real and I get to see my team play. Although, depending on how they perform, this may be the zenith of my excitement in seeing the Flyers play. I hope not, but right now I'd say I'm 65% optimistic (better roster), 35% cynical (use of said roster)

 

[Rebels57]

This might be the least excited I've been for the Flyers opener ever.

They mangled this roster and it starts at 10:30

They really know how to kick us in the balls.

 

[Danko]

Flyers starting the season with 8 Defenseman

 

[Tripod]

They really know how to kick us in the balls.

So negative.



Still interested to see:
How our present lines get matched up against by SJ....and the results.
How good our #2PP could be.
Elliot...no bad goals please

Scared for:
Filp in the slot on the PP
Mac and Manning show

Excited:
a 4th line that appears to be good
The rookies that do play: Patrick, Leier, Hagg...

This 10:30 opener BS is ridiculous. I have to get up at 5:30 the next day. No way I will be able to watch the entire game. Yeah really fair to the fans NHL. Thanks a lot.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

If manning an amac are both in the line up, I think there is a better chance the team starts 0-5 than being over .500 in that stretch. October as a whole could be real ugly.

no, the Flyers usually win games when everyone counts them out.
if San Jose was terrible and playing a AHL goalie I would bet on a sure loss.

Well, me personally I dont mind. I get out of work a midnight. I will get to listen to the game on Sirius on the drive home

Probably looking like it'll be closer to an 11:00 start.

You forgot to mention ex flyers with massive scoreless streaks lighting the lamp

 

[TheLegendkiller]

You guys are all terrible fans.

 

[Striiker]

A real fan would quit their job and watch.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

You guys are all terrible fans.

maybe reverse psychology works.
oh wait. never mind

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Well, me personally I dont mind. I get out of work a midnight. I will get to listen to the game on Sirius on the drive home

I'm happy for you, but I bet you the number of Flyers fans actually watching this game will be incredibly low.

Probably looking like it'll be closer to an 11:00 start.

Oh yeah, I forgot that the like to make opening games start half hour later. Even better.

A real fan would quit their job and watch.

Yup, that assumes that i'll even be able to keep my eyes open at 1:00am tomorrow

 

[usahockey22flyers]

10:30 is not bad believe me. It's 4:30 am here in Europe

Where do you live? I'm in Italia

 

[hatcher]

I'll be at the first 3 games. f***in guys better play fast and hard with no floating like last year.

 

[Alex91]

I can't believe they haven't practiced yet lol I a need Ghost update for fantasy lol

 

[Redpath]

Thinking back to fall 2009 I can remember opening at home only twice. The lockout year against the Penguins and another year (2014 or 2015 maybe) against the Leafs

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I'm happy for you, but I bet you the number of Flyers fans actually watching this game will be incredibly low.

what time should they start it? 5PM local?
on the flip side there are times when west coast teams have 1 PM weekend games here, which are like 10 am games local for them.

we get the California trip out of the way right off the bat. I dont mind it actually.

 

[Les Averman]

Looks like Hexy is already going back on his word that the kids aren't going to be on the big team to sit on the bench:

 

[Danko]

looks like they are practicing, Sanheim wearing #6

 

[SuchySays]

The time works perfect for me

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

f*** yeah hockey is back. Gonna wear my Voracek jersey to work tomorrow .

 

[bennysflyers16]

Looks like Morin could be odd guy out with Ghost !!
