GDT: #72: Flyers at Blue Jackets, Tuesday, March 22, 2016, 7:00 pm ET

[4thline4life]

Foligno being out would be good news. He always has good games against us. I think he has something like 20 points in 25 games vs the flyers and he's a .5 ppg player.

 

[OzFlyers]

 

[Striiker]

Bad idea.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

As to whether Vandevelde is re-inserted into the lineup tonight:

Hakstol said he will decide after warmups if Vandy is back in. Called it a tough decision.

[boxcar65]

Striiker, I think Manning is going to give someone a fist sammich tonight. Do you agree???

 

[TheKingPin]

Bad idea.

Agreed. Mason is not the type to do back to back. Offense may need to be up to task.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Carchidi is rarely right about anything. If he says Mason starts then Stolarz will get the nod.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Not a big deal if he starts. If they lose, it certainly won't be because of him

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Why the **** not try Stolarz against Columbus? I'd rather have him play Columbus than Arizona. Hell, we're going to get ****ed like NJ where they basically play Kinkaid constantly because they are afraid of playing Denis (as they should, since he sucks ass). Stolarz should start sometime. If they didn't want him to play, they might as well of brought up LaBarbara and play Stolarz in the AHL.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I was kinda hoping to see Stolarz. Im just really nervous about Mason being overworked and tweaking his knee or back. I think Stolarz can handle it.

 

[Blooger Tron]

Mase doesn't have the greatest numbers in back to backs but I got a feeling he shows up huge tonight. He knows how important he is going to be till the end of the season.

 

[Striiker]

Striiker, I think Manning is going to give someone a fist sammich tonight. Do you agree???

No, I don't think any fights happen tonight. But if you do fight then make sure it's someone worth taking off the ice for five minutes.

Not to nitpick....but Barb is hurt too.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Well **** me... I just don't want to burn out Mason. We're going to need him if we do make the playoffs.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Stolarz will get some games. No need to freak out.

Ya he will eat his own fist

 

[CutOnDime97]

Really hope VDV continues to sit.

LaBarbera is injured and if he was OK and up with the Flyers Mase would still be starting.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think I rather have Brian Boucher in current form over Jason LaBarbera if it came down to who to pick.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Stolarz will get some games. No need to freak out.

True, but if Stolie plays tonight it would be easier to let Mase play the next 4 with zero back to backs.

Jackets , Sens Leafs would be a best case scenario rotation and Mase gets the rest, including the B 2B to end season.

 

[bennysflyers16]

VDV can come in, but replace White only.

Leave Laughts in VV PK role as well.

 

[RonHextall27]

Start Mason, you have to. Regardless of past history in back to back vs team x or y, every point is important and you need the best lineup possible. I think it is absolutely foolish to consider putting a rookie in net for his first game in a playoff race. Wait til we clinch or wait til we are eliminated to start the rookie, but ride your horse for now. And if you can't ride your horse, then maybe get another horse...Its the stretch run ffs.

 

[SuchySays]

Damn.. Hak really loves Vandevelde

 

[Striiker]

Every point is important... that's why playing him is a bad choice. He's not good in back-to-backs.

And you can't wait until we clinch to play Stolarz. We might never clinch or we might clinch in the last game of the season... we can't play Mason every game until then.

Flyers Instagram had meddy getting dressed? Is he in over boxcar?!
