HockeyBuzz.com - Bill Meltzer - Flyers ECSF Gameday: Game 1 vs. NYI (8/24/20)

Aube-Kubel has been skating for the last two few days, according to Vigneault. His availability for Game 1 is unknown.

Matt Niskanen, who served a one-game suspension in the clincher against Montreal for a cross-checking incident the previous game, will return for the start of the Islanders series.

That leaves Vigneault with a choice of keeping Shayne Gostisbehere (who excelled in the series clincher after struggling earlier in the series and being removed after Game 2) in the lineup or scratching Gostisbehere in favor of Robert Hagg, who is bigger and stronger physically than Gostisbehere and has seemed to click better with Justin Braun than has "Ghost".​

Good news on NAK!

Play Niskanen with Ghost and move Braun next to Provorov.

Provorov - Braun
Sanheim - Myers
Ghost - Niskanen

Braun can't do much worse of a job than Niskanen these playoffs.

Key player for me: JVR

We all know he is streaky...but his scoring streaks are what allows him to keep his job.

This series would be a great time for one of his 7 goals in 5 games stretches.

I never, ever in 100 million years revolving around the sun in this celestial realm, would have thought this Meltzer post was going to turn into gargling Hagg's balls. This one was so unpredictable. I can't believe it. I'm shocked

So is the game actually tonight or are they gonna pull a fast one on me again.
It was supposed to be last night but they changed the time.

Reminds me of the dumb dad joke I make when I get lyrics wrong as I'm singing along to the recording..."hup...he changed the words on me there"

Who was Provorov paired with last game when Niskanen was out?
