Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 12/3/16 vs. Blackhawks

Huge game, vital points, sky is blue, water's wet etc...

Well the franchise avoided having to fold by the skin on it's chinny, chin, chin, of a Claude Giroux OT goal. Hopefully the auction of organization assets can be put off for another day, with a win today, in a must win game.

Do I dare say that our starting forward group looks better than Chicago?
They are playing well without their Captain but this is a very winnable home game

It certainly not as formidable without Toews. Their defense still remains very good.

Yeah, but we have a better slightly overpaid top-4 defenseman than Chicago does. That needs to count for something.

This would be a great weekend for Schenn to show up. Two tough games

😍👍😊

I feel Provorov was put in a very weak position to succeed in the last match up against the Hawks. Streit and our prized rookie were never a good pair from my prospective. I want to see how Provorov responds to his bad game against them. He knows who the Chicago Black Hawks are and what they've done in recent years. Go to it

This is perfect, enough said today. Enjoy the early game!!

No Crawford today. He's sick and won't even backup . Hawks scrambling for emergency goalie.

He's been paired with gudas for awhile now. He'll be ok.

Excellent pp vs. bad pk. This is a good thing. Water is also wet. Sometimes.

I thought Schenn has been better too.
Actually I thought he looked better playing with Lyuby and CVV, then he did with Simmonds and Woochild. Weird.

Let's hope we don't make darling look like a Vezina finalist...

Provy has a bounce back game with goal/assist plus 3.

and without their starting goalie and there is a special teams mismatch. they have some advantages going in. would be nice to see them win in regulation.

Darling has been really good as a backup. If Chicago comes out sleepwalking again could make for a long afternoon. If not could end up being a decent game hoping for a ''W' but wouldn't be surprised if we lost.
GO HAWKS GO!!!

Come on the Flyers like winning in OT to excite the fans you know that

Yeah Darling is solid have always thought he could be a decent starter somewhere if given the chance

Schenn is better when he is physical and I feel like playing with those two the physicality kinda rubbed off on him. I wanna see him hitting though if anything Schenn is a way better player when he actually hits people.

oh, i'm well aware of darling's capability. the red wings recently snapped their long drought here (SO win)...maybe it's the hawks turn today.

weekend matinee games at home, especially vs good/rival teams are rarely the flyers friend.
