Mmmm team negative tears in my coffee tomorrow
- Just5

What was positive about this? It took two empty net goals and shootout to beat the team on a 9 game losing streak.

It’s G, Coots, Jake and JVR ...

GM And coach, the supporting cast has been suspect all season...

Yup, the kids just aren’t that good, and it’s a huge question if they ever will be.

And almost blew a 2-0 lead in the shootout. It was like a microcosm for the season.

Forward gaps with this team is an ongoing problem. The leave the zone early and leave the defense no options.

The Flyers will lose at least one of these next 3 games. So at some point the Devils losing streak will end.

So I’m tape delayed and haven’t finished the 3rd period yet, but I see that the Flyers will win it.

Regarding Morin - Myers, I hope they give it more than one game. Morin first game back in a few games, and Myers still clearly hasn’t found his game. However, there is no better time for a learn-from-the-tape moment. It doesn’t mean they couldn’t also try Zamula or York. I certainly hope that they wouldn’t pair either with Myers right now anyway.
They could go...
Provy-Sanheim
Zamula-Braun
Morin-Myers
What do we have to lose, I think there is a lot to gain by letting the kids learn right now.

That was my point. You know I'm ambivalent about wins. I really love the Flyers but hated this season. No draft pick in '21 is going to help this team in the near future. Very tough to watch the first 58 minutes of this one. I'm hoping for better things next year

Watching zamula last night he was impressive. Very good stick. Who knows if he can ever put on any weight

Why are they wearing those stupid face diapers in the press conference when the questions are being done virtual? It's all foolish virtue signaling. Foolish like that idiot PT21

they're doing it so they don't catch stupid through the internet

Agreed. It silly at this point. Like when the NBA players wear masks on the bench seconds after they were just spitting and sweating and breathing all over each other on the court.

energy conservation. No sense wasting energy for 58 minutes
- DaveofYork


That’s right and making the playoffs cuts onto personal/vacation/ off season time! The Flyers are all about work-life balance!

Yeah, maybe this offseason he adds strength and any amount of weight possible. I think he has had slow gains, but still gains so there’s hope.

It does seem silly. In AVs post game press conference I’m assuming there are other people in the room with him? I guess the point is to illustrate that we should all continue to be as careful as we can about spreading the virus? Pro sports leagues know people take cues from how players and coaches behave and they don’t want to be bad examples. They also don’t want to be seen as privileged like they don’t have to follow the same rules as regular people.

There might also be tech support/AV people out of camera sight but in the vicinity, or were in the vicinity, or could come in the vicinity if there are problems.

That, coupled with the other, probably primary reason you mention, seems to suggest that wearing masks makes good sense under the circumstances.
