[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Rosters will be determined tomorrow for both squads.

Carter Hart/J-F Berube are the likely goalies. vs. Alexander Georgiev and one other Rangers' goalie.

Travis Konecny is expected to play.

Scott Laughton is expected to center Michael Raffl and Chris Stewart on one line.

 

[FlyerNutter]

First win a comin’

 

[Normand Lacombe]

Is there such a thing as a must win preseason game? I understand AV and Fletcher want to observe and evaluate the roster and prospects, but the Flyers have looked uninspired in the first 3 games. Now with the roster cuts, I think the Flyers should go all out for the win. Can't believe I'm saying that for a preseason game.

No.



Me neither


Personally I hope to see Farabee stop his mini skid while Frost and Myers continue their stellar play. Score continues to be negligible.

 

[Tripod]

over/under 1.5 goals for?

 

[BiggE]

Hmmm

Go to friends party featuring some killer bbq, all the cold beer I want since Mrs BiggE volunteered to drive and a great live band or stay home and watch another scintillating preseason hockey game??




Let me know how they do tonight.

 

[bennysflyers16]

over/under 1.5 goals for?

Under would be be the safe bet .

Nice song choice today, and I think I need to see G Couts TK to get some excitement going.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I doubt it, the Rags are better.

The Rags ill be suprised if they don't socre minimum 3.

Is it in Parkesburg by chance?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

No wins are not really important in preseason. What is important is for the kids who are looking for a roster spot start to show more urgency. No its not just the kids. Want to see how the team reacts after getting called out earlier this week

 

[BiggE]

Is it in Parkesburg by chance?

Middleburg, FL

 

[Curufinwe]

G playing center?

9/21/2019

Flyers announce game roster vs. Rangers

 

[TB87]

I wonder which line Chris Stewart will sabotage tonight?

 

[Curufinwe]

Guessing...

JVR-G-TK
Lindblom-Hayes-Farabee
Raffl-Frost-Voracek
Twarysnki-Laughton-Stewart

 

[kudymen]

I wonder which line Chris Stewart will sabotage tonight?

All the opposition lines of course...

 

[Audible Velvet]

Middleburg, FL

Close on the burg at least. I will also be enjoying BBQ music and beer. Have fun sir. Go second string Flyers!

 

[BiggE]

Guessing...

JVR-G-TK
Lindblom-Hayes-Farabee
Raffl-Frost-Voracek
Twarysnki-Laughton-Stewart

Makes no sense to me having G play center. Just scratch a wing and dress another pivot.

 

[Striiker]

Guessing...

JVR-G-TK
Lindblom-Hayes-Farabee
Raffl-Frost-Voracek
Twarysnki-Laughton-Stewart

Raffl can play center too, can’t he? 99% sure I’ve seen him do it in international tournaments.

 

[Striiker]

I’m excited to see this preseason game get WAY over-analyzed and the insane overreactions that come with it.

I’d ask that people try to keep context in mind, but lol nope, won’t happen. There’s gonna be some meltdowns tonight.

 

[Striiker]

In case anyone is unfamiliar with numbers:

Farabee-Giroux-TK
JVR-Hayes-Voracek
Twarynski-Frost-Lindblom
Raffl-Laughton-Stewart

Provorov-Niskanen
Hagg-Sanheim (LMAO)
Morin-Friedman

Hart
Elliott

Giroux at center is dumb and the Hagg-Sanheim pairing is ULTRADUMB

With Coots out, why is G at center dumb?

Is he incapable of playing that position now?

AV is so worried about how they’re playing in the preseason that he accelerated the timeline and made cuts so the vets can play more and learn quicker... but then hes fine with playing two key players away from their normal positions?

For Giroux, center is a normal position.

I think AV knows that
