GDT: #59 | FLYERS at Rangers | Sun., Feb. 18 2018, 12:00 pm ET | NBC, TVAS

[TheKingPin]

A. For the Flyers or Rangers? I will update Rangers' info some point tonight. As far as the Flyers, I went by how Tim Saunders referred to lines in a recent game. I also use other sources such as Daily Faceoff to compare.

I was joking re the flyers’ line order. That’s the way i wish they played.

Yep. Rare late afternoon start time for us central Europeans. Thumbs up

6pm’er for me. Where do you live?

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Beautiful game start, 6pm, and I will spend half the game on the train again. What an idiot

Sorry I missed your post, where do you live as well?

 

[kudymen]

Prague, CZE here.

 

[YamCork]

3am in Australia for me.

Who needs sleep though, am I right?

Go Flyers!

Carzy respect for all the abroad Flyers fans, I hate to admit I get all grumpy when the games start at 10pm here, now I feel like a douche because you guys are up late or up early to watch, still it’s pretty awesome though and you guys are cooler than me!!!

Austria. Half an hour drive away from where Raffl grew up

 

[AdamParrot]

6pm for me too. Znojmo.

So cool. I live in Roma, from an Italian family, grew up in NJ, moved back here for work. Funny actually, but my Grandma is from Slovakia, so I have ties to Bratislava as well.

As for watching games, I've had NHL.tv or whatever the hell its called now for the last 5 years, absolutely love it, and my wifi is pretty decent. 7pm starts (1am here), I can normally make it through the games, but those west coast road trips...10pm starts....no chance in hell lol. I think the only Eagles game I missed this year was the Christmas game vs the Raiders, I was passed out!

Haha, thank you! But we're all just fans in love with this team, we all want these 2 very important points today!

Prague, CZE here.

South 7th Circle of Hell here.

French canadian from Montreal here ...I have the chance of being on the same time zone.

I can't bring myself to sit around on a weekend afternoon watching a game. My go to plan for these ones is to set the dvr, go do something for the day, avoid social media or anywhere that may have results, and then watch the game in the early evening. Works for me!

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

All the posters abroad who get up at like 4am to watch 90% of Flyers game must want to ***** slap us right now.

I’m sorry! You’re the true fans!

Also those of us 3rd shift nite chatters, who are up till about 3 or 4am and get up at 9am to watch a noon game

You guys are the real heroes, or will be, once you get your behind in gear and launch that rescue mission

 

[Appleyard]

Noon means i get to watch the game at 17:00.

Great for us brits. Watching the flyers at 1 2 or 3 in the morning does suck at times

Worst thing about moving back to mainland Europe in a couple of weeks... that extra hour is a killer.

Almost forgot how much so, like in UK can often just stay up and still get 5 hours sleep, which is kind of ok. But when used to be in NL and soon Denmark... 4 hours is just too little sleep. Have to hit the hay early and get an extra couple of hours then wake up for the game.

How are you going to watch - NHL.tv?

That extra hour is a killer. I can't even describe how great starts at midnight would be vs 1am.

Have you lived in Denmark before? I really want to go to the world championships in May!

Me and NHL.tv have a very complicated relationship that is centred on hate.

I was a long-time subscriber but they kept making it more expensive with worse coverage for anyone in Europe...

Nope. Only ever lived in the UK and Netherlands...

Yeh, I will be there for quite a lot of the World Champs, well, the Copenhagen games anyway.

Hopefully Sushko is there!

South 7th Circle of Hell here.

You look so happy down there in hell

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

You look so happy down there in hell

More stupid than happy, really

I am mean sometimes but I still don't feel like saying "you look so stupid down there in hell"

Not sure if you can watch on NBC online. But it will be free.

Love the GDT's and appreciate the work that goes along with making them. Just a suggestion, but I liked when the Flyers all-time record vs each team was included. I'm a fan either way!

Not to beat the proverbial horse but here is an example just issued which shows an irregularity I mentioned earlier in the thread with all-time records. This is on NHL.com from the media notes provided by the Rangers today. And this isn't an isolated issue from what I have seen in recent years. Chaos caused in part because of the OT/SO games and the leftovers from the "ties" days.

RANGERS LIFETIME VS FLYERS
All-Time: 131-114-37-8
69-49-23-4 at home;
62-65-14-4 on the road

FLYERS LIFETIME VS. NYR
Home: 145 GP, 69-56-14-6, 158 pts (.545)
Road: 144 GP, 53-65-23-3, 132 pts (.458)
Total: 289 GP, 121-122-37-9, 290 pts (.502)

Start with the 290 GP (131-114-37-8) compared to 289 GP (121-122-37-9). Obviously, both can't be correct. Perhaps one entry lacks the game from earlier this year but unless it is caught, that manifests over time.
