I'm expecting Greiss to get the start in goal tonight. Smitty took a pretty hard shot into his forearm last night and it was apparent it bothered him.

 

[Plub]

A game we should win usually means a game we will play sloppy and stupid. However, if Greiss gets the start I expect us to play some pretty solid defense and get the win.

 

[PhoPhan]

I'll be at the game tonight. Flyers look like garbage this year but coming off a road game last night, the Coyotes have their work cut out for them. Should be a tough one.

 

[0point1]

Last 4 games for the Flyers...
Toronto 3 - Phily 1
Phily 1 - Montreal 4
Phily 1 - Carolina 2
Florida 1 - Phily 2

Phily didn't have much luck scoring in the first four games. Obviously anything can happen but I feel good about this game even though the Coyotes played last night. If the Coyotes offense can show up then their odds are pretty good.

 

[yotesreign]

I have to DVR this as I got a thing to do at ASU and won't get back until after 6.

Go Yotes!

 

[awfulwaffle]

Hoping I can get out of work early to get home for the live. I hate DVR. I'd rather watch as it happens, not just see what happened later.

 

[Demosthenes]

Game day rituals are commencing

 

[Vip]

Go Yotes!

 

[joescores]

Stoney a healthy? Huh

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Game day rituals are commencing

For a game like this, a big fat cheesesteak is in order.

 

[Flyerss]

everyone look very excited here

 

[SniperHF]

everyone look very excited here

Shoulda seen the board 3 days ago

 

[JTPoni23]

Hopefully Greiss gets the start and Smitty rests his wrist/forearm so he is ready for the Canes and Kyle Turris Appreciation Night.

I'm thinking the Flyers come out energized with Berube. I'd be very satisfied with a point. Ecstatic with two.

EDIT: Adam Kimelman reporting that Greiss is expected to start. Good.

I'm expecting Bissonnette to play again.

 

[rt]

I'm expecting Bissonnette to play again.

He and Rosehill probably just had lunch together and are both smiling and laughing. Should be a good natured, emotionless, pointless staged fight. Hooray!

 

[Shepard]

I'm very cautiously optimistic. This game seems like it could be a trap.

 

[Plub]

He and Rosehill probably just had lunch together and are both smiling and laughing. Should be a good natured, emotionless, pointless staged fight. Hooray!

Yup. Honestly, staged fights just slow the game down. Probably one of the more annoying things in today's NHL.

 

[Bandit34]

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm just happy to see him in the line-up because he provides much needed energy for our team.

 

[awfulwaffle]

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm just happy to see him in the line-up because he provides much needed energy for our team.

I disagree, he's a liability on the ice. Last night he had a "long" shift, and was very lazy at the end of it and wasn't playing the man right next to him that led to a good opportunity on net.

 

[Demosthenes]

Yup. Honestly, staged fights just slow the game down. Probably one of the more annoying things in today's NHL.

Yeah, it is much better when guys get actually mad and start swinging, the "courteous" enforcer fights are just lame WWE tier distractions.

 

[BAdvocate]

I must be delusional thinking some of you would ever realize you should NEVER expect a win against anyone.

guaranteed loss now, thanks for nothing. sigh.

 

[Muppet]

After yesterdays effort, I have absolute faith in the boys to back it up today. 3-1 Yotes.

 

[Swat Ultra]

Yup. Honestly, staged fights just slow the game down. Probably one of the more annoying things in today's NHL.

i agree 100%

 

[Swat Ultra]

big save!
