GDT: #25| Flyers at Penguins| Sat, Dec. 1|7:00PM|It's going down/One of those days..|PPG

[Gurglesons]

Looking at their lineup, how are they that bad?

Good D-man on every pairing. Giroux is doing his thing with couturier in double digit goals. And they have JVR and Voracek separate from Patrick and Giroux?

Their goaltending must be horrendous even for that franchise.

You forgot Simmonds and Weal lol.

 

[Bingo71]

We better beat these ****ers.

Grind these f***ers down.

 

[vodeni]

bad feeling for tonight

 

[Ugene Magic]

Grind these ****ers down.

Grind these ****ers down.

 

[EightyOne]

I don't have a bad feeling. The Pens should win.

I, of course, will not be surprised if they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, either, though.

I mean, have we had a bad game in the last six? We are trending in the right way. Hornqvist being back likely makes this an easy win.

Not to mention Sid is on fire.

 

[Pancakes]

It's the Flyers at CEC so I fully expect a loss. They always seem to beat us here.

What year is it?

 

[Ryder71]

If the lines hold for what they were this morning, I like those configurations quite a bit. Hopefully that'll help us mount a balanced attack and ultimately get the two points. Go Pens!

What lines were they running in practice? I'm guessing ZAR is still on the third line and is about to get at least 15mins tonight.

 

[PensandCaps]

We put up 7 goals. Bet it.

Lol their goalies suuuuck.

It’s a rookie goaltender we never faced before and who lost the last and only NHL game he played this year— count on a shut out by the Flyers...

Also, if Pearson and Horny are playing with Geno, similar players, then Sully will have helped the Flyers in their quest to get a shut out...

Could you shed some light on what lines were being used?

 

[Pancakes]

What year is it?

It's 2014 again

 

[Gurglesons]

If Hornqvist is healthy what are they going to run..

I assume...

Jake - Crosby - Simon
Pearson - Malkin - Rust
ZAR - Brassard - Kessel
Grant - Sheahan - Hornqvist

what I’d prefer..

Jake - Crosby - Hornqvist
Rust - Malkin - Kessel
Pearson - Brassard - Simon
ZAR - Sheahan - Sprong / Grant

Do not break up that Jake-Sid-Dom 1st line. It's been on fire. I thought Simon would have a chance to be a decent NHL player but he's actually looking like more than that. I mean playing with Crosby helps but not many people look like they fit with 87 and Simon does.

No need to rush Horns with big minutes tonight. Let him get his feet under him in the bottom 6 tonight.

Yep. Dom's softening the blow of Rust and Sheahan's downfall.

Look what we did to them in the regular season and playoffs last year. 48 goals in 10 games.

Coaching/desperation/cohesion destroys rosters on paper. We're a shining example of that this year.

 

[mpp9]

You forgot Simmonds and Weal lol.

I know flyers fans rip on Simmonds, but he can't be THAT bad.

 

[BHD]

bad feeling for tonight

Complete opposite for me. I think they’re gonna light them up.

Nah, he's still goes invisible too often to be relied upon. Hornqvist needs to be on the top line if he's healthy.

 

[Andy99]

If Horny can play on the top line it makes the best use of our wings...since Simon can play LW much better than Rust....

 

[Gurglesons]

Nah, he's still goes invisible too often to be relied upon. Hornqvist needs to be on the top line if he's healthy.

It isn’t even that Simon is invisible.

We need more skill in our bottom six and Simon and Brassard definitely have chemistry.

 

[Coach Travis]

Just roll 3 Lines and have 3 extra wingers who can sub in. Putting out some combination of Sheahan, Grant, Wilson, Cullen, etc. as a regular line is a form of self-inflicted harm.
