This reminds me of that same stretch towards the end of last season when the Flyers had a stretch out west against top teams, and how it was going to be the death of them.

im not patient at all with the sixers.

i'd have embiid out there in a walking boot


edit: i want war declared on Turkey so Saric has to come over

ISIS trades Dario Saric to Sixers

Emery isn't that great anyways.

You're right. All in favour of Mason seeing all 82 games, say "I"

I find it easily imaginable that they could be 10 pts out of first by November. That could lead to a very scary remainder of the season both for the coaches and the players.

They just have to win some of these games against good teams -- really, there's not more science to it than that. We all understand that this isn't the world's best roster ever assembled, but it's good enough to win some of these games.

If they get tonight's game, then get rest tomorrow, then go all-in on beating the Habs on Saturday, then you've done fine.

They get 1 point each off the Blackhawks and Kings

They get 2 points each off the Pens and Red Wings

Stars and Lightning are tough matchups for them

Ducks are one of the top three teams in the league

That means Canadiens and Devils, to my mind, need to be Ws, no matter how they get them

I have at least one or both teams missing the playoffs.

The Habs are pretty good, but let's be honest: The Devils are freaking old. It's not optimal, playing them when they've rested, but good teams usually find a way to win tonight's game.

The Flyers need to be that team.

Flyers have 10 games in October against Bruins, Devils, Canadiens, Ducks , Stars, Blackhawks, Penguins, Red Wings, Kings, Lightning.

They're 0-1. How many pts out of 20 can they manage to squeeze from that schedule?

I think I'm going with an over/under of 4.
- mayorofangrytown

I'll definitely take the over.

I predict Coburn has a broken foot.

I go with a top pairing of MacDonald/Del Zotto. Let's see the Devils try and gain entrance in the Flyers zone against them.
