[Alex K]

My guess:
Coots, EJ and Laughton out
Cates, Andrae and Deslauriers in

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Fedotov in net scares me...

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Wanna see Andrea in, he’s more than earned his shot. Fedotov put up wild KHL numbers, I’m able to dismiss the trash games he had last year due to circumstances, I believe! LFG! I hope Michkov records his first goal / point tommorow, so excited man

 

[Beef Invictus]

Lol every time I wonder "how can Michkov do the shit he does in close" I later see a picture of his neck and realize that he has the shoulder strength of a rhinoceros that discovered squats. Godspeed to the NHL trying to stick battle this guy

I also want to see Andrea in. Has she had the baby yet? Put them both in the broadcast

 

[DancingPanther]

How the f*** is the NHL still employing the schedule makers? Some teams have played 3 games before the Flyers played one, and they start in a back to back 3 time zones away. What?

 

[BiggE]

Fell asleep and woke up to see they won in a shootout.

Or am I still dreaming?

 

[DAVIDE1333]

Michkov didn't score last night. Now I get to see his first goal in person.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

I really liked Luchanko on the PP. Anyone else like what they see?

 

[Danko]

Let's play Andrea

 

[deadhead]

I really liked Luchanko on the PP. Anyone else like what they see?

Yes. He looked more comfortable on the PP with space to make plays than 5x5 offense, not surprising since he's still adjusting to NHL windows. But he has a nice touch, it may take some time, but the skills are there to be a playmaking center.

 

[deadhead]

This will be a good test, Calgary is a mediocre team, but back to back after flying 600 miles on the West Coast is a tough assignment.

This is an exciting team to watch, probably the fastest Flyer team I've ever seen, they play fast and make plays for both teams.

 

[Rodu58]

not really looking forward to Fedotov

 

[Audible Velvet]

I’m looking forward to watching Brink more. He’s a clever player and I think he’s got nice play making skills, sees and processes well.

Michkov is obviously going to be fun to watch. It’s not just the skill, he’s a frickin’ animal - love it.

Now if they subtract a certain couple players, I might start feeling better towards the team and it’s value provided.

 

[A1LeafNation]

I really liked Luchanko on the PP. Anyone else like what they see?

He can flat out fly and his anticipation is like a 10 year vet.

If Tippet Luch Mich is a thing....sign me up.

I liked Brinks clever passes yesterday but the advanced numbers don’t look great

 

[deadhead]

Brink needs to see the ice better, when you watch him and Michkov, who on the surface are similar types of players, the difference is glaring. He forces too many plays that might have worked at lower levels but end up as turnovers in the NHL.

And he needs to be better off the puck.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Fedotov reminds me a lot of Cechmanek, except he doesn’t have the uncanny ability to stop the puck.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I really liked Luchanko on the PP. Anyone else like what they see?

A lot of his production last year was on the PP. ES is where he underwhelmed.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Neither Kirkland or Coronato are full time centers at the NHL level.

Kirkland does have a few games where he filled in at center but mostly plays as a LW.

Calgary’s center depth just way worse then the Flyers center depth.

 

[deadhead]

Calgary is bad.
They have some offensive firepower, but that defense is pretty bad and the goalies might be worse.
Rebuilding will take time:
Huberdeau (31) 7yrs at $10.5M
Kadri (34) 4x7
Coleman (32) 3x4.9
Backlund (35) 2x4.5
Weegar (30) 4x6.25

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This will be an emotional night in Calgary; I wonder if the fan energy will affect the game.

This is Calgary's home opener and there will be a Gaudreau tribute.

 

[deadhead]

Normally, I'd expect the Flyers to come out flat on the second night of a back to back, but with over a week off and a light practice schedule the last few days, who knows?

 

[Hexxxy]

Michkov's feet and wrists are special.
