Let’s go Flyers!

Also, FYI to anyone who has Netflix...

Ice Guardians is available to watch on Netflix; I started watching it last night. It’s good! even the Broad St Bullies have a part in it. For those not familiar, Ice Guardians is a documentary about the history, development and impact of the Enforcer role over the years. Lots of great interviews with former players.

I feel another physical game tonight.

Two of the Selke finalists in tonight's game.

Gonna be a tough one tonight. They will need to do at least most of the following if they want to come away with 2 points.

Remain disciplined and stay out of the box

Get a strong game from Elliott

Keep their feet moving and the gaps between O & D short

Get traffic in front of Quick

Win the possession battle

Hold their own in puck battles against the bigger Kings

GO FLYERS!!

Physical and low scoring. Going to be the grind it out game that we should get used to seeing. Keep it simple and get pucks to the net. Quick isn't going to give you the easy ones so bring the pail and earn them.

Your first sentence freaked me out - the Kings are 20-10-4. I did the math and wondered how the heck LA could've played six more games than the Flyers. lol

I'll go read the rest now lol

Wow is Dustin Brown having a rebirth this year? Or is LA in that bad of cap shape that they can't afford to bring in someone else?

Thanks, I'll check it out. Before your description I was afraid it was going to be about the dumb Marvel characters the NHL trotted out a few years ago lol

Also they'll have to score at least one more goal than the Kings. That's probably the most important item on their to-do list.

Nah that's so far down the list they can't think about it. Hakstol will just stare into space and it could happen.

The old exploding puck?

Flyers are currently 9th in the East in points %

I think it is worth noting that the entire metro is ahead of 5 teams in the Atlantic

I'm not a fan of the whole division playoff system. The top 8 system they were using before was a lot better. Chances are we will see some team with more points than the 3rd place Atlantic team not make the playoffs which is pretty bullpoop

What is more annoying is that Boston gets to play those terrible teams in the Atlantic more often and the Metro has to kick its own ass

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Veteran goaltender Michal Neuvirth is close to being ready to be reactivated from the injured reserve list. That could happen as soon as Monday, in which case he would back up Elliott against the Kings. If not, rookie Alex Lyon will serve one additional game as the backup. Otherwise, Lyon will be reassigned to the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

That is good. He should probably get the start in Buffalo on

Do you read anything in to Alt not going back to the Phantoms and remaining up with the Flyers while they are in a homestand? Is there a chance when Manning comes back they would look to make a trade or carry 8 dmen to avoid putting Alt on waivers?

It doesn't get the best teams into the playoffs though
