It's gonna be great when this team of randos is more organized and prepared.

Don't worry our disorganized starters will win 3-2, break even in possession metrics and then somebody will come tell me I'm an asshole for being negative about this team and I need to optimistic after a big win like that.

We’re you the one of the reasons for the negativity thread lol

 

[tictactoe]

York will not play right?

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Its a possibility haha. Although the majority of the time I'm being hyperbolic in my negativity in an attempt to be funny. As humor is the only thing getting me through this era of Flyers hockey and the feeling of uncaring malaise it has created in me.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Flyers' projected lines are as follows.

86 Joel Farabee - 14 Sean Couturier - 11 Travis Konecny
23 Oskar Lindblom - 48 Morgan Frost - 89 Cam Atkinson
25 James van Riemsdyk - 73 Elliot Desnoyers - 62 Nic Aube-Kubel
82 Connor Bunnaman - 59 Jackson Cates - 71 Max Willman

9 Ivan Provorov - 94 Ryan Ellis
3 Keith Yandle - 65 Wyatte Wylie
84 Linus Högberg - 5 Adam Clendening

79 Carter Hart
[33 Samuel Ersson]

PP1: van Riemsdyk (netfront), Farabee (left wall), Konecny (slot) Couturier (right wall), Yandle (point)
PP2: Desnoyers (netfront), Frost (left wall), Ellis (right point to right wing), Atkinson (slot), Provorov (left to center point)

 

[rinaldo]

I look for MF to establish his superiority early in this game.

 

[deadhead]

Interesting they replaced JVR with Lindblom on MF's line.

 

[Curufinwe]

Nice to see Hogberg ready to play.

 

[deadhead]

They've put together nice organizatonal depth on defense, if they could just find a couple centers.
Hogberg and Desnoyers are my players to watch, is Hogberg NHL ready and is Desnoyers a future center.
Looks like Bunnaman will be a LW going forward, makes sense with his lack of playmaking skills.

Bunny, and all the funny lines that Capt'n plied us with, I thought by now he would have established himself as a 4th line center; now I am not sure that he can make it as a LW4. With all the Phantoms games I saw last season, Bunny did not show much.

If we do not draft 5 or 6 centers in 2022.........

 

[tictactoe]

who is Adam Clendening? Why is he here..

 

[Doodootheclown]

was this one of you guys?

 

[kudymen]

These words are not the same so I can understand why he would prefer a word with a different meaning

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

There's probably a thread about this somewhere, and if so I apologize, but is ESPN+ basically now what NHL.TV used to be? As a Flyers fan living in Columbus that was how I used to watch the Flyers. We use Hulu Live TV for tv which does not have access to NHL Center Ice, so hoping not to miss the Flyers this year.

Thank you for all the work you do on these & your updates @MiamiScreamingEagles

Me,

More excited about the morning skate.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

I hope that some day games are decided by advanced stats instead of the final score. And then eventually when the technology catches up, we can just simulate games using AI and never have to actually play them so nobody has to go to gross arenas and expose themselves to the unwashed / unvaccinated. And we won't have to wait because the whole season and the championships can be simulated in seconds and can become one of those videos on Instagram or Tiktok so you can watch while you're driving or on the toilet.

This would probably have been preferable to watching a lot of Flyers games recently, I think you are on to something here.
