Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 10/6/18 @ COL

Lets keep it going boys, come on home 2-0!

GO FLYERS!!

Great game, basically yesterday. Didn’t have a lot of focus to think of all the positives, but their were lots of good things. Yesterday was a brutal haze where I pondered ideas for a coffee IV. It is nice to have a 9 pm start tonight. Baby steps to sleeping again.

Extra hour and a weekend night certainly help....also an N.C. Flyer Fan.

They won’t do it but I’d be interesting if they played Oicard again his old team, to bad this game isn’t later in the season to make that a possibility.

McKinnon is going to create some match up problems for them. He looked like he was shot out of a canon in the game vs Minny.

His speed is scary and none of our centers can match. If Coots was in mid-season form, I wouldn't be as worried as he's pretty good at using his reach and smart positioning to counter and defend faster centers.

When it comes to matching up against McKinnon tonight, I think you worry less about the forward line matchup and more about getting Provorov/Ghost out against his line as much as possible.

The roster is different this season in it's makeup. To early to tell but we'll see what the predominant plan is and how they're going to match up. How much Voroboyev can handle.

Looks like the Flyers are going to dress Weise tonight so he can play with Lehtera and Raffl...now they have their McKinnon matchup!




P.S. None of the above is true.

Or putting the coffee down and starting the scotch early.

One area that Voroboyev is definitely going to need to work on is faceoffs. He was 1-6 on faceoffs opening night.

This isn't news. He wasn't particularly good at faceoffs in the AHL, either.

He can develop that skill, though.
