GDT: #1 | Flyers at Canucks | Friday, October 11, 2024 | 10:00 PM Torture Time | NBCSP

[Coffees]

Not a Flyers fan, but for some odd reason I almost always watch the Flyers first 5-10 games or so of the season.

Been doing it for the past 4ish years.

This year may end up being more than 10 games though because of #39

Wait, Michkov is projected to play with Coots and Konecny? I really liked how his creativity meshed with Frost’s. These lines are confirmed or is that how they’ve been practicing ?

I sure hope not. He looked good w Frost

Is it weird that the Flyers have the most exciting prospect they've had since I was in preschool and I've never been less excited for a season?

I’m so use to having no expectations and just so excited to see Michkov, it really does suck to be a Flyers fan, I get where you’re coming from.

These were reported on the 7th by Jordan Hall. They're almost certainly stale. Things will be updated at today's skate

Foerster makes sense with Frost and Tippett.
He's a legitimate PF and can CYA on defense while their speed presses offenses.

For the Flyers to be a legitimate PO team, they need two lines that can score, if Michkov can play the "Giroux" role with Couts, that would do the job.

The 4th line is excellent for its role, the question is whether they can put a 3rd line together.

Gonna miss the day we don’t get to see Ryan Ellis in our injuries section

The 4th line will play more than the 3rd. Therefore, that will be the 3rd line.

For where they Flyers are at, do you think it is wise to have all that money tied up in the 4th line? Has to be the most expensive 4th line in the league.

Also let’s put a * next to Rasmus since he can definitely stub his toe and be out before the game starts

You must enjoy pain.

I'm just glad we renewed our sponsorship with PINCE.

With Luchanko at 3C, it's roughly $11.32m for five 4th liners.

Cool.

Excited for the game...dreading the time

I'll be moving back to Vancouver in 2 weeks, bad luck I'm moving back after the Flyers play their one game a year there.

Looking forward to seeing Michkov play though. I want him to win the Calder and Celebrini had 1g 1a last night, so Michkov has some work to do.

 

[SnS]

I won’t even be home before puck drop from work tonight. But I’m not sure I actually want to watch this anyway.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

I can't believe Michkov is going to score 4 goals tonight

 

[Curufinwe]

Meltzer says that Torts is:

itching to get "Catesy" back in the lineup... at either Luchanko or Frost's expense. Tortorella said during back that Cates is a better center than winger. It isn't actually true but that's where Tortorella has always preferred to play him.

The 4th line's "role" needs to be outscoring the competition, not "wasting time and hanging on for dear life." And they are not excellent at that.

We best hope Laughton has a bounce back year or he's at risk of being washed

Cool.

Given the median 3rd line forward scores 23 ES points, it's four 3rd liners and Hathaway as the only 4th line guy.

People just have exaggerated ideas of how much bottom six forwards actually score.
If they were that good, they'd be getting top six minutes on most teams.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Don't mind the 10pm starts on a Friday or Saturday night but those two west coast weekday games are less than ideal given my advanced age and all.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Excited for the game...dreading the time

As a nighthawk who needs his alone time, I truly cherish West Coast games that start after the wife and child have gone to bed. I'm more excited to have an excuse to drink late night Polish beers in my newly-furnished and arranged office/guest room/guitar stash/den than I am for the excuse itself.

Still rocking my Flyers sweatshirt and hat as is tradition, maybe the spirit will catch me at gametime. My main dread is another 65+ nights of Jim Jackson's obnoxious water-carrying.

Need some details here. What are we talking? Okocim? Żywiec?

Maybe a grodziskie if any of those even make it to your area?

 

[deadhead]

I DVR everything b/c I need to be available for other duties. So late night games merely mean I get to watch closer to real time. Once nice thing about DVR is I don't have to depend on unreliable replays, I can go back and see who screwed up.

Imagine being one injury away from a Risto EJ pairing, this "Rebuilding" team is an actual dumpster fire.
