Post-Game Talk: #78| NJD 0 at PHI 3 | Sat., April 1, 2017 | Neuvirth released from hospital (post #1)

[Winston Wolf]

Hagg or Morin should definitely get a chance. It's either them or Schultz playing 12 minutes a night and I think either one of them deserves it.

 

[Rebels57]

Is there any actual word on whether Neuvirth had a bug or did something else happen and it's still speculation at this point? I wasn't paying too much attention to the game or Twitter after the first period.

It has been confirmed that he was ill prior to the game. No other specifics yet though.

No update will be issued until tomorrow. Players said the flu has been prevalent with the team and there appeared to be evidence that Neuvirth was among the ill.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I kind of wish I saw this game. I do really hope Neuvy is okay.

 

[trostol]

if Mase didn't call til 330..4 pm that he couldn't make it..to me that sounds like no way he would play tomorrow

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

so had eric could have played goalie but flyers would have been given a 2 min penalty.

thats why haskstol pulled him

 

[Curufinwe]

Hextall says Neuvirth not going to NY, and will be checked again on Monday. He had a chest cold, but the news from the hospital is all positive.

Says he found at 4pm that Mase was very sick. Joked about suiting up himself for tomorrow, but my bet is Mase will be OK to back up Stolie.

 

[Rebels57]

Possibly the most eventful game all season..between the Neuvirth situation, Semborski Part 2, multiple game misconducts, ridiculous Colin McDonald goal, and a Stolarz shutout..fun night.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

sarah baker believes based on her source sounds like stolarz and lyon will be the flyers goalies tomorrow, wouldn't suprise me if eric stemborski travels with team rest of the week.

 

[Rebels57]

Hextall just embarassed the hell out of Panaccio

 

[Curufinwe]

Of course TiimmyP wastes the last televised question with a typically stupid one.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

should hextall be walking right to weal right now, i mean right now with a contract in hand

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Stating the expected but now official (per Carchidi): Hexy says Flyers will recall Lyon if Mason can't play Sun.

 

[Rebels57]

Weal needs to be re-signed..but I would prefer they wait until after the ED to put the ink on the contract.

I would think they err on the side of caution with Mase after what just happened to Neuvirth.

Who plays for LHV tomorrow?

Who do we have in Reading?

Can Carter Hart be called up on emergency basis to backup Stolarz so Lyon can start for LHV?

 

[Rebels57]

McDonald should have been playing over VandeVelde all season. There is no denying this.

McDonald has 2 more goals and 1 less point in 159 fewer NHL games than VandeVelde.

Then Vegas would be able to offer him a contract, correct? I know they can only take so many UFAs, but a young guy that looks like he could possibly be a top 6 forward might be pretty hard to pass up on. I also doubt he's waiting to sign with the Flyers at that point, as he can just wait a week and talk to the whole league.

 

[trostol]

Bill is so so awful

Yeah they can but can only sign 10 UFA/RFAs and it would count as their pick from the Flyers

Justin Kowalkoski served as the Royals emergency goalie tonight. The team plays tomorrow and has another goalie on the roster. Martin Ouellette was promoted from Reading to the Phantoms (AHL).

NHL teams can exercise two emergency goalie recalls per season which each last up to 48 hours. That is part of the CBA.

 

[Magua]

McDonald should have been playing over VandeVelde all season. There is no denying this.

McDonald has 2 more goals and 1 less point in 159 fewer NHL games than VandeVelde.

And we have several others who should play over McDonald too. Yet here we are, and here we will be after 82 games this year and 79 games last year

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm glad it sounds like Neuvy is OK. Scary stuff.
Great game by Stolie.

When the ref skated over to the bench with Flip's skate blade, I was sure Colin McDonald was going to pick it up and shave his chest with it Manly son of a gun. Happy for him.

I think they would probably pick Weal. Either that or Del Zotto, but I think they should be able to pick enough decent defensemen without taking him.

I think Weal has shown enough in this stretch that I wouldn't risk him going under Vegas' radar. He's scored at every level and finally is getting a chance in the NHL. Hopefully Hextall is smart enough to not protect Bellemare and they take him for his "intangibles". We might be able to get rid of VdV and Bellemare in one offseason.

They cant just pick UFAs, they have to agree to sign there.
