Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 3/10/20 vs. BOS

Hopefully the comment section doesn't get hijacked by Coronavirus "experts" today. Bill works hard to supply us with content, we should be discussing hockey here.

Would be awfully nice to see the Flyers sitting in first place in the Metro after this game.

Yup, it's gameday. That means everyone should get ready to...

The "winning" play from the last meet-up is worth getting another look:

If the NHL bans fans from attending games, how will the players know when to shoot the puck?

The NHL is going to install glass OVER the ice in addition to the glass atop the boards. It's going to look like a bubble hockey table. Bad news: no more delay of game penalties; good news: less stoppages for the puck going out of play, so the game will go a lot faster.

I hope they loop it non-stop on the WFC big screens from warm-ups to before the National Anthem.

This needs to be done. Could only imagine the reaction from Boston's partisan announcers.

Honestly, I wouldn’t play Ghost until Saturday. West Coast, weaker team. We’re on a nine game winning streak and these next two games are measuring sticks. No need to mess with chemistry right now.,

The reason why Gostisbehere would play tonight is because Myers is injured and can't play. Nothing to do with messing with chemistry.

The only reason they’d play him is if Meyers can’t go. It doesn’t leave anyone else but Ghost, right?

Either way, let’s (frank)ing DO THIS

I’ll be watching from down Souf for the next couple of weeks. Bummed not to be at the Farg, I’m sure it will be SHAKING!!!

So...go with 5 D then?

Great seeing Oskar take part in team picture day yesterday! Bill, any reason why Oskar wasn't in the group shot that was posted online?

I'm starting to have my doubts that the season goes uninterrupted from this Covid19 panic. Santa Clara County, California has already banned gatherings of more than 1000 people. This means the Sharks will play in an empty arena going forward.

If Myers only has a bruise I'd think he'd be ready to play by Saturday.

Yeah. Kinda feels like things will get worse before they get better here.

All that has to happen is for one person affiliated with the NHL to contract this, and games are getting cancelled.

All more reason for the boys to take this game and get first place TONIGHT!!!

Gonna be tuff, but i think the Buffalo game not only gives them a reason to look around the room and know they gotta pick it up, but also give them the confidence to play knowing Hart’s got em!

Hart saved their bacon but obviously Buffalo is not mailing it in as they took down the craps last night. We seem to step up vs the Bruins, so I am hoping for a good effort and a win.

Coronavirus average age of death in Italy......wait for it....wait for it....81.4.

And yet I can’t find any toilet paper.

Could watch this all day

The only reason Ghost would play would be due to Myers' injury. The other option would be to play 5D or recall someone from the AHL.

Sanheim skated with Robert Hägg, while Justin Braun was with Shayne Gostisbehere. If Myers is not able to play on Tuesday, this will be the likely second and third pairings. If Myers can dress for the game, pairings will revert to their norms of recent weeks
