Will Talbot be the backup, or McKenna? Also, when will Myers be allowed to play?

At last check, Talbot doesn't appear to be available to play.

The Myers situation has been addressed but at the time of the promotion, there was no guarantee he would play. Whether that changes due to the back-to-back is possible but nothing has been indicated.

If I’m the coach I’m switching up the D after last nights collapse.

Provorov—Gostisbehere
Sanheim—Gudas
Macdonald—Myers


Myers has way more upside than hagg.
Stay out of the penalty box. And protect hart. Can’t afford to lose tomorrow.

Our 1st line sucks.

Giroux—Couturier—Konecny
Lindblom—Patrick—Voracek
JVR—Vorobyev—Simmonds
Raffl—Laughton—Bailey


But of course. This won’t happen.

The way Patrick is playing:

Giroux—Patrick—Konecny
Lindblom—Couts—Voracek
JVR—Laughton—Simmonds
Raffl—Varone—Bailey

And Myers absolutely should be playing given this is a b2b.
No to JVR and Simmer together.

The top six is great in any combination, but that 3rd line, regardless of the centre, is an abomination.

You’re never going to get 3 good lines because you are short at least 2 forwards to do it. Hopefully Simmonds get moved soon, they bring up NAK and go with:

Giroux-Coots-Jake
We know this line can work

Lindblom-Patrick-TK
Patrick is playing so well right now that he will elevate the games of these wings

Raffl-Laughton-NAK
It won’t be pretty but at least it’s 3 guys who will work hard

JVR-Varone-Bailey
Sadly, at ES, this is where Pigeon belongs.

Frost, Farabee, Ratcliffe and a FA or 2 can’t get here fast enough!

You have to keep Jake with Couts, Jake isn't the same player with any other center, we saw that last year and now this year.

The Flyers better come prepared for Bear, that was an embarrassing meltdown against a bad team, if they don't come out and blow the Red Wings off the ice they need a serious kick in the ass, one team is pushing for the playoffs, one is hoping for Hughes, you tell me which team should be expected to dominate.
