Negadelphia fever can cross the pond, apparently.

In full swing. I'm inherently negative when it comes to my teams chances regardless.

Another 1am start tonight. I hope they dont make me regret my decision to get up for it.

 

[TB87]

Hahahaha yes!

 

[Striiker]

The emotional swings on here are crazy. Delusionally high after wins, excessively low after losses.

Gotta focus on the big picture instead of basing everything off the last game.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

That has to change no matter what. Not going to work with fast sound checking.

Unfortunately I think that's wired into Hayes' DNA.

Couts is great, I see no flaws with the lineup. The cup should be a lock.

Classic relationship situation. "It is not that they lost, it is about how they lost"

 

[tymed]

Not too worried about line combos here.

These guys need to just give their balls a tug and play with some pride in their stride.

Or on one or two personnel moves.

Comes down to making adjustments and the top 9/top 4 picking up their game.
Teams that make long playoff runs usually have 2-3 players who score at a high level throughout the playoffs

top scorers pp/60 5x5 (200 minutes or more, obviously top teams, but enough time that it's not a fluke)

[FlyerNutter]

Ready to get a bit of that swagger back after game 2.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Giroux needs to have a statement game

 

[Din Djarin]

Time to see how Alain Vigneault has this team respond to last Friday's game 2 performance (or lack thereof)

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Is lindblom playing tonight? Saw he practiced with the team and the Flyers Instagram said he was back

Nope. Hopefully some time these playoffs but no timeline is given.

Don’t think so. Just more with the team as I believe he was in Europe not too long ago.

I think Raffl might be back, seem to remember they mentioned he did warm ups last game but could be wrong about that.

It’s kind of strange that a guy with cancer looks to be making it back to the lineup before a guy with migraines. Brains are weird.

I doubt it.. as in no.
It seems him back w the team is a mutual story. Pumps up the team but Oskar is also loving being back w the guys

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

Thinking I wear my Giroux jersey tonight. Provorov didn't work out too well for me last game.

 

[MichaelRaffl]

Would somebody hit someone!!!

Ah I thought maybe he would be back in the lineup after seeing that. I saw he was at center ice and everyone was fired up to see him skating with the team again.

Don’t think so. Just more with the team as I believe he was in Europe not too long ago.

raffl back would be huge. Yeah it’s crazy that Oskar was able to beat cancer and come back seemingly in good physical shape in the timeframe he did. So happy for the guy! Hoping Patrick’s migraine disorder isn’t as serious as it sounds.

Giroux is only current Flyer blouse I own, gonna break out the Propp for today.

Little 80’s positive mojo

 

[flyersnorth]

Hoping Patrick’s migraine disorder isn’t as serious as it sounds.

Oh it's serious. It's kept him away from his career for an entire year. He hasn't played hockey since April 2019.

So the seriousness of it will likely never go away (if I understand the condition) but he can hopefully find ways to manage the triggers and flare ups.

Backstrom has a similar condition and he's had a pretty excellent career.

I’m going #12 Kerr

 

[bennysflyers16]

I’m going #12 Kerr

What should of been

 

[occultist goat]

Doesn’t even move the needle for me, insignificant.

Only Habs I worry about are Weber and Chariot. Still pissed Chariot hammered G with a high hit yesterday and zero response while getting paddled.

it sucks but doesn't surprise me, how do you expect this team to have his back when at times he doesn't show up when this team needs him the most...like now but we'll see what happens in game 3.

 

[Amorgus]

Win it for Hockey Kitten!

 

[Jtown]

Uh, Farabee posted a xGF of 8.33% last game, I don't think Stewart ever played that bad!
Sometimes you have to give a kid a game off to clear their head.

He was brutal last game. I didn’t realize he was playing until the 3rd period
