[Hiesenberg]

Would be nice to roll up in MTL and hand them an ugly loss.

A nice 5-1. But with Price, unlikely.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Interesting stats.

Flyers 3rd overall in GF/G

Flyers 5th worst in GA/G.

We've become the Oilers, not this years Oilers, because they are doing well, but years past.

Also, Flyers 12th best in Shots Against, their team SV% is atrocious, 4th worst.

Also I know their team Corsi sucks, but that's what happens when half the D can't handle the puck.

Missing 2 top 4 defenseman and having 4 #6/7/AHL caliber defensemen on the team will really hurt the defense stats surprisingly.

 

[Hiesenberg]

I agree, but those are excuses and Hakstol won't make them. The offense needs to come back and help, they are all getting cherry picking happy.

 

[Flyotes]

I should roll out my 'Briere ain't Habbin it' avatar.

The lineup looks a bit off. Last game it was:

Schenn-Giroux-Simmonds
Konecny-Couturier-Voracek
Cousins-Bellamare-Read
Vandevelde-Gordon-Lyubimov

Macdonald-Ghost
Provorov-Manning
Schultz-Streit

 

[dats81]

Maybe they can score a goal and take a first period lead into the second.. how about that?
Let's try something new.

Thanks, yeah i know the defense was different for last game but wasnt sure if they would stick with it so i just used their most frequent pairings for this year. Once we get a confirmation ill change it. I think the offense was correct though.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Morning skate should be soon.

 

[FLYguy3911]

5 games in 7 days. Should be a good test.

 

[Hiesenberg]

5 games in 7 days. Should be a good test.

Thankfully Gudas will be well rested, Weise is having a few days off.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

5 games in 7 days. Should be a good test.

As a Flyers fan, would you rather the games be perfectly spread out, or do you like the games bunched up with a decent sized break?

Interested to see what everyone thinks.

Mase gets the start, I predicted that last game and its absolutely the right call.

Yep, you don't want to switch goalies for every game and with 2 back-to-backs this week Neuvirth will get at least 2 starts anyway.

No line up changes from saturday per timmy p.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Habs need to lose sometime. Tonight is a good night to do that .

 

[Alex91]

Anyone use a free vpn on their IPad to change IP to avoid blackouts? I'm from Ontario and tonight's game is on SNO I believe

I just heard about an add-on to your browser called ZenMate that supposedly does the same thing. No idea if it works or not, just heard about it today.

 

[BernieParent]

First off, thanks very much for getting this going, Umphreys!

Montreal is definitely playing good hockey of late. The Flyers will need to get some ugly goals on Price and not give up any softies.

Schenner could play a big role if we are successful. We need tips and screens - Price can't stop what he can't see.

Hard to complain when the coach has 6 D and 12 F to pick from.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Yea. I can't get on Hakstol right now.
