Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 12/29/18 @ FLA; Phantoms and WJC Updates

Up all night

Should we be excited for Farabee?

Has he said he wants to go all 4 years to graduate?

Is there any more info on Patrick’s injury? Is this something he’s been playing with and aggravated it when he got bumped? I don’t want to read too much into things, but to me he had a look of frustration, as much as pain, when he got bumped in front of the net.

The level of competition is what it is, still nice to see our guys stepping up.

Yeah. I consider that, but it's certainly a confidence builder.

This is gonna be tough game tonight for a number of reasons. First, after losing to the Habs last night, Florida is going to be determined not to lose back to back games at home. Second, while Patrick might not have been producing much offense recently, his loss weakens the team defensively up the middle and will likely force Couturier and Giroux to play a ton if the game is close.

If anyone thinks that the Flyers are going to have an easy time of it tonight, they're nuts.

Not to mention Lu always gives us fits too.

Can we trade for horsepoop Jamie Benn plz?

That may be the case but these guys still had to score the goals. The didn’t shoot directly in the goalies chest nor did the miss the net.

Weise, AMac, Weal and a 4th sounds fair to me.

for sure, lets hope it continues

There has been no easy games since the Islanders slightly improved and Atlanta became Winnipeg.

add in we dont match up well with the Panthers, their size gives Philly fits

- wcorvette

I’m not worried about size as much as I am goaltending. Roberto Luongo still has what it takes to steal this game.

There's no better way to trade your star players than to call them horsepoop in the press, amirite?

And jokes aside, Jamie Benn would do nicely here.

- DrMidnite

N o he only does well because he played Denmark and Kazakhstan

Weise, AMac, Weal and a 4th sounds fair to me.
- BiggE

Seems fine to me. We are trading more less expensive horsepoop for 1 expensive horsepoop. Who would say no? It's a damn steal

Florida missing Bjugstad, Trocheck, and MacKenzie helps a bit, but their first line and Lu are fully capable of beating the Flyers if they don’t bring their A game. Road trips to Tampa/Miami are always tough for this team.

Playing Raffl with Weal makes zero sense.
Two bottom lines are messed up.
Let Laughton play with Raffl and Weal only as winger he is useless as center

Weal is useless anywhere you play him
