good song choice

 

[TheKingPin]

Not sure why Ginning is still in. Zamula hasn’t looked great a of late either.

No practice no pregame skate hard to change the lineup

The boat is listing!

 

[Appleyard]

Yeh, big game.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Considering they made Chicago’s Felix Sandstrom look good, I do not like their chances against the Isles goaltending.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lose tonight and Torts will probably skip the games this weekend to give the team a reset because "they're tired of seeing me and i'm tired of seeing them."

 

[usahockey22flyers]

i just can’t send Ersson out there again. I would have rather them hung onto Sandstrom if Fedotov can’t go tonight

Ersson back out there > Sandstrom at any time right now. They are telling you Fedotov won't play until later in the week. There is only one goalie choice right now.

[Appleyard]

Starting Ersson 6x in 12 days is pretty silly...

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Starting Ersson again is a f***ing joke. Ersson is not a goalie that can put up a lot of minutes, it's really starting to show this year. And Torts keep smashing him into all of this without playing Fedotov is a f***ing joke. I really do hope the Flyers drop out of the playoffs and pin it all on Torts. Dude f***ing sucks and he won't own up to it.

 

[TheKingPin]

I would have gone Ivan too but it’s hard since he’s on unknown in a must win game. I think we should have started last game to help figure things out.

So happy Drysdale is back.

I'd rather take the unknown compared to knowing we'd lose with Ersson in net being as run down as he is.

Why Fedotov didn’t start at least the 3rd period in the Chicago game to get any possible jitters out that a 27 year old professional could have, is beyond my understanding. Again, Torts’ default is that every person under the age of 30 is an idiot.

It's not that complicated. Torts has shit for brains.

 

[FLYguy3911]

The streets lied.

Who has more appearances as a Flyer? Fedotov or Cam Talbot?

 

[ponder719]

Torts’ default is that every person under the age of 30 is an idiot.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Didn't they start Niitty something like 20 games in a row during the basement season? At the cost of his hips, iirc?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Starting Ersson 6x in 12 days is pretty silly...

Tortorella essentially said something to the effect last year that goalies just complain about fatigue now to get more time off.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

That last D pairing is a f***ing nightmare.

Also, how the f*** is Atkinson STILL in the line up when he hasn't had a point in over 2 months? Brink has had 4 points in that amount of time.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Coots back to the top line=Nic D back in, because of course it does. This team can never go full optimal. It's just not possible.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Do we get a PP change? They haven’t rotated the defensemen in weeks.

I guess Drysdale goes back on. Doubt they take York off but maybe?
