Pre-Game Talk: Are you a nervous Flyer?

[Snipes45]

I am not that worried like in seasons past. I do expect them to be a tad rusty, that is natural after all of these days off.

Philly is a better ES team in this short season. 7th in the NHL goal differential. We are 17th

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Can we get a segment with Gritty and Gene?

Thanks.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I just woke up and the game is still 2 days away.

 

[KlefDown]

our SOG allowed is really concerning.

 

[CornKicker]

the flyers are an underrated team, their forwards are strong defensily which is good because their D is not strong in their own end. I suspect a 4-3 type game depending on the PPs

Gene would obliterate gritty.

on paper it is but when you see where a lot of those shots are coming from its not as bad as it looks. Quality scoring chances arent there we are forcing a lot of shots from the outside and bad angles.

What kind of dick does something like that.

People tweet pictures of celebrities all the time…

…also I’m a tad concerned about the amount of time and where they had that time off. If they win I’ll been in super hype mode!

this was embarassing the person taking the video was hiding behind other people like a creep, it didnt feel like a pic of a celeb type thing, it was creepy

Doesn’t make it right.

I’ll take your word for it guess. Maybe they had malicious intent or maybe they were trying to be discreet and ended up coming across as a voyeur.

I think they have some underrated pieces but I’ve had Hart too many times in fantasy. Until he shows up the way he’s capable of, the teams going no where. The bet on Martin Jones as back up is so insane to me.

The Nurse Barrie pairing has been bleeding shots and chances against, and they play the most minutes. I'm sure Nurse will come around but we'll probably have to swap Barrie for Bouchard. Barrie simply can't handle top pair defensive minutes.

The swap has been made a couple times in these 5 games already.
Its less of a swap and more of a transition IMO.

Barrie is a fine option at 3RD and Bouchard is looking comfortable alongside Nurse.

I think Barrie is fine as 3RD but in that case we need to improve on Slater/Russell

They are fine as 6/7 Dmen as well. Anything more than a rental is not needed with Broberg/Samorukov/Lagesson available. We don't have the cap space for anyone better anyway.

Holland will pick up another Green/Kulikov with a 4th Rd pick at deadline.. Shouldn't expect much more.

Once he recovers from injury I assume Samorukov will get some time there later in the season

 

[DaGap]

Im just sad that the team has been rolling and had to take a 5 day break so early in the season.

Hoping for a good game but who knows how they will play with the long break

They've come out slow pretty much each game, so I suspect they'll be a bit flat and they'll just have to weather it as they get their legs under them.

Yeah that spot LD3 and RW2 (as well as general depth) are the biggest areas where the team could stand to improve. Much better then where it was even just a year ago.

 

[North Cole]

And I bet in that universe, the Leafs still haven't won since 1967...

Can we get a segment with Gritty and Gene?

Probably not, it's like Clark Kent, I don't think he can be in the same room as Gritty. With his hair growing out, he's Gritty unmasked...

Lots of shots from the outside.

Yeah and who the hell thinks flying cross coutnry and then back is a good schedule lol

EDIT: Oops thought the game was in philly. Post left up to be made fun of

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Wendo captures the feeling perfectly.
